VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mustang Energy Corp. (CSE: MEC, OTC:MECPF, FRA:92T) (the “Company” or “Mustang”) is pleased to announce that it has received results from a helicopter-borne Mobile MagnetoTellurics ("MobileMT") survey conducted at its wholly owned Yellowstone Project, located in the western Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan.
The survey was completed by Expert Geophysics of Aurora, Ontario, covering 373 line-kilometres at a 400-metre line spacing. Magnetic and Very Low Frequency (“VLF”) data were collected over the northeastern portion of the claim block, targeting areas not previously investigated using deep-penetrating electromagnetic (“EM”) methods. The MobileMT system is designed to detect conductors at depths greater than 1,000 metres, offering a high-resolution view of potential basement-hosted structures favorable for uranium mineralization.
Survey Results
Analysis of the MobileMT data has outlined multiple exploration targets, characterized by strong, deep conductive anomalies coinciding with interpreted structural features, suggesting the potential for uranium hosting hydrothermal or structural zones related to unconformity type uranium deposits. These conductive zones are interpreted as being independent from the ring structures of the Carswell impact crater, suggesting a basement origin. Several of the anomalies are coincident with structurally complex corridors, possibly linked to NW-SE trending faults, and are associated with magnetic low trends—features often considered important for unconformity-type uranium systems. The VLF data reveals near-surface linear features interpreted as fault structures. These lineaments frequently align with breaks or offsets in the conductivity and magnetic datasets, as well as subtle radiometric U and Th radiometric anomalies suggesting fluid circulation from depth, adding a valuable structural layer for prioritizing targets. Geophysical surveys are not definitive, and the results are still at an early stage of interpretation, with no guarantee of a mineral discovery.

The recent MobileMT survey has successfully infilled a portion of the Yellowstone Project which had not previously seen deep penetrating electromagnetics testing, giving complete geophysical coverage across the property. The Company now has a robust dataset of airborne EM surveys, as well as magnetic and radiometric datasets, providing a comprehensive understanding of both shallow and deep-seated structures. This multi-layered geophysical framework enhances the ability to vector toward high-priority uranium targets with increased confidence. The Company is actively integrating these results with historical data to refine and prioritize future drill targets.
About the MobileMT System
Mobile Magnetic Tellurics (MobileMT) is the latest innovation in airborne electromagnetics and one of the most advanced generation of airborne AFMAG technologies. The MobileMT technology utilizes naturally occurring electromagnetic (EM) fields in the frequency range of 25 – 20,000 Hz. Thunderstorms release energy, some of which is converted into EM fields that propagate through the ionosphere-Earth interspace. The EM fields and currents induced by these EM fields in the subsurface are used in MobileMT to identify variations in subsurface electrical resistivity.
The MobileMT technology is the product of extensive experience in developing equipment and signal/data processing algorithms for natural EM fields measurement. MobileMT combines the latest advances in electronics, airborne system design, and sophisticated signal processing techniques. The advanced noise processing technique of both electronic and signal processing levels ensures high data quality even for low natural EM fields.
The MobileMT survey system can effectively identify deep seated structures that may be associated with feeder fault systems to uranium mineralization, and is capable of detecting both the basement-hosted electromagnetic conductors and sandstone-hosted zones of anomalous resistivity commonly associated with Athabasca Basin uranium deposits.
MobileMT is capable of resolving resistivity contrasts to depths exceeding 1000 metres, and notably, previous MobileMT surveys have successfully identified basement conductors and alteration zones in the sandstone formations of prominent uranium deposits across the Athabasca Basin.
About the Yellowstone Project
The 100% owned Yellowstone Project is situated approximately 16 kilometres from the past producing Cluff Lake Mine in the Western Athabasca Basin. The project consists of seven adjoining claims totaling 21,820 hectares. The property surrounds the exterior of the Carswell Impact Structure and is adjacent to Fission Uranium’s West Cluff Project. The Carswell Impact Structure is thought to be related to a meteorite impact measuring ~18 km in diameter, which exposed basement rock that underlies the Athabasca Basin sandstone formations and hosts high grade uranium mineralization including the Cluff Lake Uranium Mine. The Yellowstone Project is transected by multiple conductors which are yet untested.

April 16, 2025 12:00 PM EDT | Source: Snow Lake Resources Ltd
Winnipeg, Manitoba--(Newsfile Corp. - April 16, 2025) - Snow Lake Resources Ltd., d/b/a Snow Lake Energy (Nasdaq: LITM) ("Snow Lake"), a uranium exploration and development company, announces that the Phase 2 drill program at its Engo Valley Uranium Project ("Engo Valley") is now underway.
Highlights
Phase 2 drill program is now underway
Drill crews are on site, have established their exploration camp, and the initial drill holes comprising the Phase 2 drill program have now been completed
Phase 2 is planned to consist of up to 7,500 meters of a combination of reverse circulation and diamond drilling, and is designed to provide a drill database sufficient to calculate a maiden uranium mineral resource estimate in accordance with SK-1300
Maiden mineral resource estimate is currently scheduled for completion during the second half of 2025
Phase 2 also includes plans to test a number of additional targets in the north and south parts of the project, outside of the two targets which are the main focus of Phase 2
CEO Remarks
"We have now completed the initial drill holes on our Phase 2 drill program at Engo Valley" said Frank Wheatley, CEO of Snow Lake. "Our objectives for Phase 2 are simple - to complete sufficient drilling to allow us to calculate a maiden resource estimate at Engo Valley during the second half of 2025."
"The global supply deficit of uranium will continue to increase as the world continues to expand it nuclear energy production capacity. With new uranium mines needed to meet this demand, programs like our Phase 2 drill program at Engo Valley are essential to prove up potential new economic sources of primary uranium. With Namibia being the third largest global uranium producer, we look forward to a successful Phase 2 drilling campaign at Engo Valley in Namibia."
Phase 2 Drill Program
The Phase 2 drill program ("Phase 2") has been planned to consist of an aggregate of up to 7,500 meters of a combination of reverse circulation and diamond drill holes in an in-fill grid pattern sufficient to allow the calculation of a maiden mineral resource estimate. Phase 2 will be focused on the Main Uranium Occurrence ("MUO"), and the D1 target area ("D1"). See Figure 1.

A historic radiometric survey conducted across the Anna Lake and Ghost Lake B grids delivered promising results, successfully outlining multiple anomalous regions. At Anna Lake, the survey provided well-defined data, identifying two prominent radiometric trends that may represent a single, continuous prospective body.
These findings support the potential presence of a large uraniferous system, warranting further follow-up exploration to the northeast and southwest to determine its full extent. Similarly, the anomalies identified on the Ghost Lake B grid merit additional investigation in all directions to better understand the scope and significance of the radiometric signatures.

GoviEx Advances the Muntanga Uranium Project with Submission of Draft Environmental and Social Impact Assessment to Zambian Environmental Agency
https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/248709/GoviEx-Advances-the-Muntanga-Uranium-Project-with-Submission-of-Draft-Environmental-and-Social-Impact-Assessment-to-Zambian-Environmental-Agency
April 16, 2025 6:00 AM EDT | Source: GoviEx Uranium Inc.
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 16, 2025) - GoviEx Uranium Inc. (TSXV: GXU) (OTCQB: GVXXF) ("GoviEx" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that it has further advanced the development of its Muntanga Uranium Project in Zambia with the filing of its draft Environmental and Social Impact Assessment ("ESIA") with the Zambian Environmental Management Agency ("ZEMA").
This submission marks a key step in the project's transition from feasibility towards execution. With the draft ESIA now submitted, ZEMA will undertake a review of the document and provide comments and guidance to GoviEx. This feedback will inform the final ESIA, which GoviEx will then resubmit for final approval, which is expected in the second half of 2025.
The filing of the draft ESIA follows the recently completed Feasibility Study, which confirmed Muntanga as a robust, shallow open-pit, heap leach operation with a projected 12-year mine life, low operating costs, and strong financial returns - including an after-tax NPV8% of USD 243 million1 and an internal rate of return (IRR) of 20.8%.2
Daniel Major, CEO of GoviEx, commented:
"The momentum behind the Muntanga Project continues to build. With today's draft ESIA submission, we are taking another significant step toward making Muntanga a reality. This progress demonstrates our dedication to delivering one of the few near-term uranium projects with potential to help meet growing global demand, while also ensuring environmental and social responsibility. We are also making solid progress on the financing front, with strong early-stage interest that reflects confidence in the quality and potential of the Muntanga Project."
Muntanga is strategically positioned to supply both Western and non-Western nuclear markets, benefitting from Zambia's excellent infrastructure, pro mining government, proximity to export routes, and domestic surplus of sulfuric acid - a key reagent in uranium recovery. With a rapid construction timeline and expected uranium production within four months of mining commencement, Muntanga is one of the few near-term uranium projects capable of helping bridge the global supply gap in a tightening nuclear fuel market. Production is expected to begin in 2028, with discussions currently underway with potential off-takers.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mustang Energy Corp. (CSE: MEC, OTC:MECPF, FRA:92T) (the “Company” or “Mustang”) is pleased to announce the expansion of its Spur Project with the acquisition of a 100%-owned mineral claim comprising 5,751 hectares. The new claim is located directly south of the Athabasca Basin in northern Saskatchewan and was secured through strategic, cost-effective staking. This addition further strengthens Mustang’s land position in a geologically favorable region prospective for uranium, rare earth elements (REEs), thorium (Th), and base metal mineralization.
The new claim extends the Spur Project southward and lies approximately 70 km southeast of Cameco’s Key Lake Mill and within 45 km of all-season road access and a power transmission corridor. The property is situated within an underexplored area of the Wollaston Domain and encompasses a magnetic low trending south from the Burbidge Lake Shear Zone—a notable regional reverse fault. This structural corridor also lies adjacent to Forum Energy Metals’ Janice Lake Sediment-hosted Copper Project. The newly acquired claim includes a historically identified zinc showing, Grand Rapids Zinc Occurrence, where surface grab samples returned up to 0.4% Zn4.
This area is considered prospective for a range of mineralization styles, including basement-hosted uranium, Rössing-type uranium-REE-bearing granitic pegmatites2, and base metals. Its strategic location along trend of Forum Energy Metals’ Janice Lake Sedimentary Copper Project5 and directly east of Searchlight Resources' Kulyk Lake Uranium and REE Project6, further underscores its promising exploration potential.
“With this acquisition, Mustang continues to strengthen and diversify its portfolio to include uranium and critical mineral assets in the Athabasca region, a globally recognized jurisdiction for high-grade uranium deposits," said Nicholas Luksha, CEO and Director. "We are committed to unlocking the mineral potential of the Spur project. Our technical team is currently compiling available datasets with the expectation of initiating a reconnaissance-level exploration program over the newly staked area during the upcoming field season.”
Figure 1: Overview of Mustang Energy's newly acquired claim south of the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan1
Spur Project Geology and Mineralization
The Spur Project is situated within the Wollaston Domain, just south of the Athabasca Basin, a region recognized for hosting some of the world’s highest-grade uranium deposits. The property is underlain by Proterozoic basement rocks, comprising Wollaston Group metasedimentary gneisses, predominantly psammitic to meta-arkosic, with folded lenses of pelitic to psammopelitic gneisses. This geological setting is favourable for both structurally controlled basement-hosted uranium and pegmatite-related uranium, REE’s and thorium mineralization.
Mineralization in this region commonly includes anomalous concentrations of REEs and base metals associated with uranium and thorium, indicative of Rössing-type systems. These deposit types are named after the Rössing uranium mine in Namibia, one of the world’s largest open-pit uranium mines, known for its REE-enriched granitic pegmatites.2
To the northeast lies the Janice Lake area, known for its sediment-hosted, stratiform copper mineralization. Over 20 copper occurrences have been documented there, primarily situated northwest of the Burbidge Lake Shear Zone in more proximal sedimentary facies of the Janice Lake and Rafuse Lake formations. The southern extension of this mineralized corridor, where Mustang's new claim is located, remains underexplored.3
Strategic Importance
This expansion aligns with Mustang’s broader corporate strategy of building a diversified portfolio of uranium and critical mineral assets in politically stable, infrastructure-rich jurisdictions. As global interest in nuclear energy and clean technologies accelerates, Mustang remains well-positioned to contribute meaningfully to the evolving energy landscape.
Mustang remains committed to executing its exploration strategy responsibly, contributing positively to local communities, and ensuring environmental sustainability in all its operations.

Atomic Minerals Announces Option Agreement to Acquire Saskatchewan Mineral Claims
https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/248031/Atomic-Minerals-Announces-Option-Agreement-to-Acquire-Saskatchewan-Mineral-Claims
April 10, 2025 7:30 AM EDT | Source: Atomic Minerals Corp.
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 10, 2025) - Atomic Minerals Corporation (TSXV: ATOM) ("Atomic Minerals" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an option agreement dated April 9, 2025 (the "Option Agreement") amongst the legal and beneficial holder (the "Vendor") of two mineral claims totaling approximately 5,355 hectares located in the Province of Saskatchewan (the "Property"). Pursuant to the Option Agreement, the Vendor has granted the Company the exclusive right to acquire a 100% interest in the Property (the "Option").
The Mozzie Lake project consists of two properties situated in the Pinkham Lake Zone approximately 25km northeast of the Athabasca Basin, located within the Charlebois-Higgingson Lake Uranium District. Uranium mineralization on the properties is hosted within pegmatite intrusions. Two programs of diamond drilling in 1967 and 1968 identified an historic estimate of 208,300 tons grading 0.118% U3O8, approximately 491,588 pounds of U3O8.
The historic estimate was disclosed in Kings Resources Company Exploration - 1968 Permit 3 Area Athabasca Mining District, Saskatchewan by B.G. Gislason and C.M Trigg Dated November 1968. The Company feels the historic estimate is relevant because it speaks to the potential of the Mozzie Lake property and reliable as it was completed to the standards of the day by competent geologists. The historic estimate appears to be calculated from cross sections, under the assumption that the pegmatite bodies hosting the mineralization are conformable with the enclosing rock. Only mineralized sections grading 0.05 per cent U308 or greater were included in the calculation. The historic estimates are classified as drill indicated, which would be comparable to an inferred resource. The Company would need to twin a number of the 1967 and 1968 drill holes to move the historic estimate to an inferred resource.
Atomic Minerals cautions investors a qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources and further cautions that the Company is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources.
"We are very excited to announce the acquisition of an additional uranium property with pounds in the ground. This acquisition represents another step forward in our mission to build shareholder value as Atomic Minerals advances its uranium exploration portfolio across North America," stated Clive Massey, President & CEO.
Transaction Terms
To exercise the Option and acquire a 100% interest in the Property, subject to TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") acceptance, the Company must:
Issue 5,500,000 common shares (the "Consideration Shares") to the Vendor upon TSXV approval of the Option Agreement; and
Pay $50,000 in cash to the Vendor within three years from the effective date of the Option Agreement.
The Company also has the right (but not the obligation) to purchase a 3% net smelter return royalty (the "Royalty") held by an arm's-length third party (the "Royalty Holder") by issuing 5,500,000 Consideration Shares to the Royalty Holder (the "Royalty Buy-Back"), subject to TSXV acceptance.
No finder's fees were paid on this arm's length Option Agreement.
All securities issued in connection with the Option Agreement will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus a day from the date of issuance in accordance with applicable securities laws.
None of the securities issued in connection with the Option Agreement will be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and none of them may be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act. This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any state where such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful.
R. Tim Henneberry, PGeo (British Columbia), an adviser to the Company, is the Qualified Person as defined under National Instrument 43-101. He has reviewed and approved the technical information of this news release.

Davidson River Multiphysics Surveys
In partnership with Fleet Space, the Company will undertake three ExoSphere Multiphysics survey grids across the Warrior, Bronco, and Thunderbird conductors on the Project in the spring of 2025. The Multiphysics surveys will collect and integrate ANT and ground gravity datasets, covering highly prospective areas along three of the four main structural corridors on the Project. The surveys will provide critical targeting layers in the form of 3D ANT shear velocity models and custom inversion models for subsurface density, leveraging both ANT and ground gravity datasets as inputs.
Density anomalies in the basement rock coinciding with known graphitic conductors are often indicative of potential zones of hydrothermal alteration of host rocks associated with uranium mineralization events. Drill targeting with this strategy has been proven through the discovery of world-class uranium deposits in the SW Athabasca Basin and will upgrade targets across the Project.
Sean Hillacre, President & VP Exploration of the Company, stated: "Using Fleet's proprietary Cover Depth analysis from the ANT data in combination with the ground gravity data, Fleet Space will compute and provide a cover-corrected gravity dataset which will significantly upgrade our target areas at Davidson River through imaging of density anomalies in the basement rock. These surveys will be the first of their kind in the SW Athabasca Basin uranium district and marks a significant step towards discovery on our Flagship Project."
Federico Tata Nardini, Chief Financial & Investment Strategy Officer, added: "We're proud to enter a strategic partnership with Standard Uranium to unlock the exploration potential on their projects in the Athabasca Basin. Fleet Space's real-time exploration platform, Exosphere, is transforming how exploration is conducted by reducing uncertainty in drill targets and enabling faster, smarter decision making across the exploration process. This partnership reflects our shared commitment to building mineral supply chains of the future — efficiently and sustainably — to meet the world's rising demand for abundant, clean energy."
Strategic Partnership with Fleet Space
The Company also announces it has entered into a debt settlement agreement (the "Agreement") with Fleet Space Technologies Canada Corp. (the "Creditor"), and its affiliate Fleet Investment Fund PTY LTD., pursuant to which the Company proposed to settle Cdn$525,000 of indebtedness owing to the Creditor by the issuance of 7,000,000 common shares (the "Debt Settlement Shares") at a deemed price of $0.075 per share (the "Debt Settlement"). The deemed price represents a 2.3% discount from the 30-day volume weighted average closing price of the common shares of the Company on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V") immediately prior to entering into of the Agreement.
The Debt Settlement is subject to regulatory approvals, including the TSX-V and is an arm's length transaction. The issuance of the Debt Settlement Shares will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus a day from the date of issuance in accordance with applicable securities legislation.
No new control person of the Company will be created pursuant to the Shares for Debt Transaction; however, assuming completion of the Debt Settlement and no other share issuances, the Creditor would own approximately 11% of the outstanding common shares of the Company, resulting in the Creditor becoming a new "Insider" of the Company.

About Standard Uranium (TSXV: STND)
We find the fuel to power a clean energy future
Standard Uranium is a uranium exploration company and emerging project generator poised for discovery in the world's richest uranium district. The Company holds interest in over 233,455 acres (94,476 hectares) in the world-class Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan, Canada. Since its establishment, Standard Uranium has focused on the identification, acquisition, and exploration of Athabasca-style uranium targets with a view to discovery and future development.
Standard Uranium's Davidson River Project, in the southwest part of the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, comprises ten mineral claims over 30,737 hectares. Davidson River is highly prospective for basement-hosted uranium deposits due to its location along trend from recent high-grade uranium discoveries. However, owing to the large project size with multiple targets, it remains broadly under-tested by drilling. Recent intersections of wide, structurally deformed and strongly altered shear zones, provide significant confidence in the exploration model and future success is expected.
Standard Uranium's eastern Athabasca projects comprise over 42,384 hectares of prospective land holdings. The eastern basin projects are highly prospective for unconformity related and/or basement hosted uranium deposits based on historical uranium occurrences, recently identified geophysical anomalies, and location along trend from several high-grade uranium discoveries.
Standard Uranium's Sun Dog project, in the northwest part of the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, is comprised of nine mineral claims over 19,603 hectares. The Sun Dog project is highly prospective for basement and unconformity hosted uranium deposits yet remains largely untested by sufficient drilling despite its location proximal to uranium discoveries in the area.

TORONTO, April 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Forsys Metals Corp. (TSX: FSY) (FSE: F2T) (NSX: FSY) (“Forsys” or the “Company”)
Forsys is pleased to report on ore-sorting testwork at its Norasa Uranium project (“Norasa”1).
Highlights
Exploratory ore sorting evaluations show that ore sorting is possible for Valencia ore to increase uranium grade and reduce acid consumption during processing.
Next phase testwork has commenced for proof of concept for XRF and XRT technologies.
Ore sorting is a process stage for separation and upgrading of run of mine ore based on its grade, composition and physical properties. Key benefits include delivering an upgraded material stream to the processing plant by rejecting waste and problematic lithologies, thereby enhancing processing efficiency and reducing operating costs. Improvements in metal recovery may also be achieved.
Results from ore sorting trials done so far on Valencia samples indicate:
Gamma sorting amenability work showed that uranium concentration is well correlated with sorting sensor detection peaks.
XRF amenability testing demonstrated a strong calibration accuracy with uranium grades, suggesting that uranium upgrading is achievable with a decrease in mass pull.
Given the positive outcome, a decision was made to conduct further confirmatory testwork, which is currently in progress and for which results are expected before end of Q2 2025.
This work includes:
Detailed XRF testing with machine learning and fine calibration and scanning of variability samples over approximately 440m of drill core from the Valencia deposit.
Scouting XRT ore sorting amenability testing on variability samples from Valencia deposit.
The results will be used to determine the ongoing testwork and technology appraisal, including economic evaluation.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Foremost Clean Energy Ltd. (NASDAQ: FMST) (CSE: FAT) (“Foremost” or the “Company”) an emerging North American uranium and lithium exploration company, is pleased to announce the commencement of its 2025 exploration drill program (the “Drill Program”) at the Hatchet Lake Uranium Project ("Hatchet"), located in the world-renowned Athabasca Basin of northern Saskatchewan. The 2,000 metre helicopter-supported diamond drill program commenced recently and is being conducted on behalf of Foremost by Dahrouge Geological Consulting (“DGC”). Drill testing during this program is expected to evaluate the project’s top exploration prospects at both the Tuning Fork target area (“Tuning Fork”) and Richardson target area (“Richardson”).
“We are excited to commence this fully-funded drill program at Hatchet.” said Jason Barnard, Foremost’s President and CEO, “This program represents a significant step forward for Foremost, launching our first exploration drill program in the Athabasca Basin, designed to evaluate several discovery-ready target areas on well-situated and advanced exploration project that is part of our unique collaboration with Denison Mines Corp. (‘Denison’). Our drill targets for this program have been designed to test interpreted structures and conductive breaks identified based on the wealth of historic exploration already completed on this exciting property.”
Hatchet is located within 1.5 km of the Athabasca Basin margin, which results in shallow sandstone cover (less than 220 metres) and corresponding shallow exploration targets, enabling efficient and cost-effective drill testing. The upcoming 2025 drill campaign plans to capitalize on this advantage, including multiple drill holes to advance the evaluation of several target areas – each of which are highly prospective and have potential for discovery or which will benefit in future drill programs from additional reconnaissance.
Tuning Fork
The shallow drill targets at Tuning Fork (Figure 1) comprise 1,000 m of the planned drilling with an unconformity depth ranging from 120 – 160m. Historical and the 2024 drilling program have identified prominent structures and alteration along conductive trends identified via ground electromagnetic (“EM”) surveys that are coincident with previously identified mineralization that is located near structures at the unconformity. A folded conductive package of graphitic metasediments adjacent to the structure underscores the key elements for uranium mineralization.
Figure 1 – Tuning Fork - 2025 drilling target locations and proposed drillholes
Richardson
The balance of drilling at Hatchet during this program (~1,000 m) is planned to consist of follow up drilling and reconnaissance drilling at the Richardson target area. A series of discrete linear EM conductive anomalies (~7 km in total length) comprise the Richardson target area. Historical drilling (Figure 2) has confirmed the presence of mineralization along the conductive trend at and immediately below the unconformity. Follow up drilling is designed to test the continuity of mineralization along strike and obtain structural data on mineralized structures identified in historical holes. Additional drilling is expected to test certain prospective unexplored conductive trends to evaluate the potential to host uranium mineralization.

Aero Project Overview
Aero is advancing a district-scale uranium exploration effort in Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin, managing a 250,000-acre land package in the historic Uranium City district along the basin's northern rim. The company's flagship properties-the Sun Dog Project, the Strike Project, and the Murmac Project-are secured through separate option agreements: one with Fortune Bay Corp. for the Strike Project and the Murmac Project, and another with Standard Uranium Ltd. for the Sun Dog Project. Aero can earn up to a 70% interest in the Strike Project and the Murmac Project and a 100% interest in the Sun Dog Project by making annual cash and share payments as well as completing certain amounts of work on each property. These projects target high-grade, basement-hosted uranium deposits, leveraging modern techniques to explore graphitic shear zones largely overlooked by historical efforts focused on surface prospects. Aero's 2024 maiden drill programs across the Murmac Project and the Sun Dog Project underscore this potential, with a notable discovery at the Murmac Project's Howland Lake North target intersecting 8.4 meters at 0.3% U3O8, including peaks of 13.8% U3O8 over 0.1 meters, just 64 meters below surface.
The Sun Dog Project spans 48,443 acres across nine mining claims, located 15 km from Uranium City, and includes the historical Gunnar Uranium Mine, which produced 18 million pounds of U3O8 from 1953 to 1981, once making it the world's largest uranium producer. Aero's 2024 exploration included drilling eight holes totaling 1,600 meters, targeting shallow, high-grade basement-hosted mineralization at the Wishbone area. This followed summer prospecting that returned surface assays up to 13.0% U3O8. Historical exploration here chased lower-grade "Beaverlodge-style" deposits, missing the unconformity-related systems Aero now pursues. With over 40 km of untested electromagnetic conductors, the Sun Dog Project offers significant discovery potential, bolstered by recent mapping and geophysical data identifying multiple high-priority drill targets.
The Murmac Project, covering 25,607 acres in 17 claims near Uranium City, complements the Sun Dog Project with its own 30 km of prospective graphitic corridors. Aero's 2024 exploration included drilling eight holes totalling 1,550 meters, hitting anomalous radioactivity in 75% of them and confirming the company's thesis of the presence of untapped basement-hosted deposits. Historical showings at the Murmac Project exceed 1% U3O8, with grades up to 8.82% U3O8, but past efforts largely focused on surface outcrops, leaving deeper graphite-rich shear zones untested. The 2024 highlight-hole M24-017's high-grade intercept-validates Aero's focus on shallow targets (20-150 meters deep), with over 70 km of graphitic horizons across the Murmac Project and the Sun Dog Project remaining largely unexplored.
The Strike Project, spanning 24,711 acres in four claims, rounds out Aero's portfolio, located 25 km from Uranium City. It hosts the historical Tena Zone, where over 1,000 tons were mined in the 1950s at grades of 0.6% to 3.5% U3O8. Fortune Bay's 2022 first-pass drilling intersected uranium in three of nine holes, while Cameco's earlier work identified high-quality geophysical targets along the J, K, and L conductors. With 14 additional conductor targets ready and historical showings up to 27% U3O8, the Strike Project adds further upside. Together, Aero's projects leverage a combined 125 km of target horizons, positioning the company to capitalize on the uranium market's resurgence with a robust, multi-asset strategy.
Kraken Project Overview
Kraken's 100% owned Apex Property, situated 280 km east of Reno, Nevada, covers the past producing Apex uranium mine1. The 14,892 acre project targets a 17.5 km mineralized trend identified through advanced radon surveys and geophysical data. Discovered in September 1953 by prospectors, the project was initially explored as a silver prospect before uranium became the focus, with the Apex Minerals Corporation leasing the site in August 1954. Operations commenced with shallow open-pit mining and later expanded to underground workings, extracting an estimated 45 metric tonnes of U3O8-equivalent to roughly 100,000 pounds-until closure in 1968, driven by declining uranium demand as federal incentives waned. The uranium mineralization occurs along a contact zone between Jurassic quartz monzonite (the Austin stock) and folded Paleozoic metasediments, including quartzites and shales, with ore bodies enriched by fractures and brecciated zones near east-trending rhyolite dikes. Production peaked in the 1950s and 1960s, with ore shipped to processing facilities in Utah and Oregon.
Early efforts by Apex Minerals Corporation and subsequent operators involved extensive shallow rotary and core drilling in close proximity to the Apex mine, with records indicating intercepts such as 34.1 meters at 0.37% U3O8 and 15.2 meters at 0.51% U3O8, as noted in Nevada Bureau of Mines files from 1959 by Mining Geologist Harry Hughes1,2. Other standout results included intersections of 25.6 meters at 0.23% U3O8 and 17.7 meters at 0.36 U3O8.
Since 2021, Kraken has been working diligently with the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest ("HTNF") to secure drill permits for its Apex Property, navigating a thorough process shaped by the HTNF's development of a new forest-wide Uranium Safety Management Plan. Kraken submitted a revised Plan of Operations in spring 2023 and completed comprehensive archaeological and biological studies in 2023-2024, including a productive site visit with HTNF officials in September 2024. The introduction of the safety plan reflects the HTNF's commitment to responsible resource management, and Kraken appreciates the collaborative effort to ensure all standards are met. With the Trump administration's March 20, 2025, Executive Order emphasizing domestic mineral production, permitting timelines are expected to align more swiftly with national priorities, and Kraken anticipates drill permit approvals by late Q3 or early Q4 of this year with drilling potentially resuming immediately as permits are received.
The Apex Property presents significant exploration upside beyond the historically mined zones of the 1950s and 1960s. The 13.5 km-long mineralized trend, identified through advanced radon surveys and geophysical data, stretches across the property, with the original Apex Mine workings representing only a small, localized portion of this system. Recent geological mapping and surface sampling have pinpointed multiple untested targets, including parallel fault zones and brecciated contacts between the Jurassic quartz monzonite and Paleozoic metasediments, where grab samples have returned values up to 0.12% U3O8 across broad, undrilled areas. These results underscore the opportunity for fresh uranium discoveries beyond the historically mined areas.

Dark Star Announces Acquisition of Uranium Project with Historical Resource in Northern Saskatchewan
https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/246886/Dark-Star-Announces-Acquisition-of-Uranium-Project-with-Historical-Resource-in-Northern-Saskatchewan
April 01, 2025 9:00 AM EDT | Source: Dark Star Minerals Inc.
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 1, 2025) - DARK STAR MINERALS INC. (CSE: BATT) (FSE: P0W) (the "Company" or "Dark Star") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent dated March 31, 2025 ("LOI") with two arms length vendors (together, the "Vendors") to acquire a 100% interest in the Bleasdell Lake uranium project (the "Bleasdell Project" or "Project") consisting of over 515 Hectares in Northern Saskatchewan, Canada (the "Acquisition").
The Project has had significant historic exploration and development including a historic deposit consisting of 620,700 lbs of U3O8 delineated by over 148 drill holes drilled to various depths between 22.9 meters (75 feet) and 149.4 meters (490 feet) for a total of 3,738.6 meters (12,265.9 feet) with a historical report outlining the main 'Horn zone' as "1,030 feet long and 25-30 feet wide" with assays up to .54% U3O8.
The 1957 Bleasdell Lake historic resource was disclosed in a shareholder report for Columbia Metals Exploration Co. Ltd., dated Nov. 9, 1957. There is no technical report. The historic resource is relevant to the potential of the Bleasdell Lake property and is reliable as it was calculated to the standards of the day. The estimate was based on closely spaced shallow drill holes and more widely spaced deeper drill holes. The calculations, methods or parameters were not disclosed in the shareholder report. The resource would be comparable with a current inferred resource. There are no more recent estimates though subsequent geologists visited the property in the 1960s and 1970s, confirming the showings and the drilling was completed. The company will need to twin a significant number of the historic drill holes to upgrade or verify the historical estimate as current mineral resources.
Drill Permits are pending for 4,000 meters (13,123.4 feet) of resource confirmation and expansion drilling. (See Figure 1).
"We are excited at the opportunity to acquire the Bleasdell Project along with its hosted historical expandable deposit consisting of 620,700 lbs U3O8," said Marc Branson, President, Chief Executive Officer and a director of Dark Star. "Saskatchewan is known to host some of the highest-grade Uranium deposits in the world and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to add this extensively drilled prospect with drill permit applications in place to both confirm and expand upon the work done by previous explorers and developers. We now have a prospective 28,000 Hectare position in the Central Mineral Belt (CMB), contiguous to major deposits owned by peers Atha and Paladin, where we have just commenced our 2025 exploration and development season. Now, Dark Star is executing on the proposed acquisition of this prospective historical deposit in Northern Saskatchewan. The board of Dark Star has provided me a clear mandate to explore, develop and acquire in preparation for looming shortfalls in the need for uranium supply as the world gears up for the expansion and deployment of proposed nuclear power plants and small modular reactors, happening on a global scale."

About Bleasdell Lake Uranium Project (Historical Deposit)
The Bleasdell Project hosts a 1957 historic resource of 620,700 pounds of U3O8 (triuranium octoxide), identified within the Horn and Jackpine zones. This historic estimate was originally reported in a shareholder report for Columbia Metals Exploration Co. Ltd. dated November 9, 1957 (the "1957 Report"). The estimate, which was calculated using the standards of the time, is based on data from closely spaced shallow drill holes and more widely spaced deeper drill holes. While the historic resource is considered relevant to the potential of the Bleasdell Project, there is no technical report, and the calculations, methods, or parameters used were not disclosed in the 1957 Report. Consequently, a Qualified Person, as such term is defined in National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, has not completed sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as a current mineral resource.
The 1957 Report states a total of 148 drill holes were drilled between 1956-1957 for a total of 3,738.6 meters (12,265.9 feet) with drilling depths of between 22.9 meters (75 feet) and 149.4 meters (490 feet) with drilling ongoing at the time of publication. The 1957 Report goes on to state "The BLEASDELL prospect is well positioned for economic development."

Follow-up exploration is intended to focus on the historically drilled Horn and Jackpine zones, which are recognized for uranium-bearing pegmatite dykes. Historic trenching results included 91 meters averaging 0.12% U3O8 over 2.56 meters and 33.5 meters averaging 0.62% U3O8 over 1.21 meters. Moreover, three additional zones on the property have been identified by previous modern-day explorers as opportunities for deposit expansion.
The Company acknowledges that to upgrade or verify the historical estimate as a current mineral resource, significant twinning of the historic drill holes will be necessary. As such, Darkstar is not treating the historical estimate as a current mineral resource at this time.
The Letter of Intent
The Company has agreed to acquire a 100% interest in the Project subject to making the following:
a cash payment of $25,000 from Dark Star to the Vendors within five (5) days of the execution of the LOI;
a cash payment of $75,000 from Dark Star to the Vendors within fifteen (15) days of receipt by Dark Star of approval from the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE") with respect to the Acquisition ("CSE Approval");
a cash payment of $150,000 from Dark Star to the Vendors within six (6) months of the entry into of a definitive agreement with respect to the Acquisition;
the issuance of 5,000,000 common shares (each, a "Share") of Dark Star at a deemed price per Share equal to the greater of: (i) $0.06 per Share; and (ii) the lowest permitted price per Share pursuant to the policies of the CSE, to the Vendors on a pro rata basis within fifteen (15) days of receipt by Dark Star of CSE Approval; and
the granting a 2.0% net smelter return royalty on the Project in favour of the Vendors (the"Royalty");

Azincourt Energy Planning Geophysics Program at East Preston Project, Athabasca Basin
The East Preston uranium project is one of two strategic Canadian uranium projects being advanced by Azincourt
The Company intends to conduct follow up exploration at clay alteration zones discovered at East Preston in 2023/2024

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 1, 2025) - AZINCOURT ENERGY CORP. (TSXV: AAZ) (OTCQB: AZURF) ("Azincourt" or the "Company"), provides an update on proposed exploration activities at the East Preston uranium project in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, Canada.
SUMMARY
The East Preston uranium project is being advanced by Azincourt in addition to its recently acquired Snegamook Uranium Deposit - which the Company intends to advance to resource status in its 2025 work program.
The East Preston project is located near the southern edge of the western Athabasca Basin, along a parallel conductive trend between the PLS-Arrow trend and Cameco's Centennial deposit (Virgin River-Dufferin Lake trend).
Three prospective conductive, low magnetic signature corridors have been discovered at East Preston. The targets are basement-hosted unconformity related uranium deposits similar to NexGen's Arrow deposit and Cameco's Eagle Point mine.
Azincourt intends to conduct follow-up exploration programs to continue testing the clay alteration zones with elevated uranium that were identified in the winters of 2023 and 2024, with a focus on the K and H Zones (areas of dravite and kaolinite clay alteration zones - see figures 2, 3 below).
Fall 2025 Geophysical Program
The Company is planning a geophysical program for the fall of 2025 on portions of the East Preston project. The feasibility of a radon flux survey over portions of the K- and H-Zones to assist in refining drill targets within previously identified alteration zones is being explored. This type of survey has been useful in highlighting radon anomalies which have either confirmed or led to the discovery of several uranium showings and deposits, including Azincourt's recently acquired Snegamook Deposit in the Central Mineral Belt in Labrador.
Winter 2026 Diamond Drilling Program
The Company is also planning for a potential follow-up drill program for the winter of 2026, consisting of up to 1,500 meters of drilling in 5 diamond drill holes. The focus of this program would be to continue testing the clay alteration zone with elevated uranium that was identified in the winters of 2023 and 2024 with a focus on the K and H Zones (Figure 2). Targets will be refined with results from the Radon flux survey carried out in the fall.
The program is anticipated to utilize one helicopter supported drill rig based from a local contractor camp. The use of a helicopter for support results in reduced disturbance due to not needing to open an access road to site. Drill and crew mobilization to site would commence as early as mid to late February when daylight hours are long enough to facilitate reasonable working conditions.
The planned budget for these programs is C$1.7-2mm. More details will be released as plans are refined and the Company commences preparations.
"We would like to continue our work on East Preston and to take a closer look at the clay alteration in the K- and H- Zones", commented VP Exploration Trevor Perkins. "This alteration zone indicates that we are on to something. A significant number of deposits in the Athabasca Basin have been found by identifying and chasing these types of alteration patterns. In the short term, we will continue to adopt techniques to assist in narrowing our focus and see where this trend takes us," continued Mr. Perkins.
East Preston Targets
The primary target area on the East Preston Project is the conductive corridors from the A-Zone through to the G-Zone (A-G Trend) and the K-Zone through to the H and Q-Zones (K-H-Q Trend) (Figure 2). The selection of these trends is based on a compilation of results from the 2018 through 2020 ground-based EM and gravity surveys, property wide VTEM and magnetic surveys, and the 2019 through 2022 drill programs, the 2020 HLEM survey indicates multiple prospective conductors and structural complexity along these corridors.
Drilling has confirmed that identified geophysical conductors comprise structurally disrupted zones that are host to accumulations of graphite, sulphides, and carbonates. Hydrothermal alteration, anomalous radioactivity, and elevated uranium have been demonstrated to exist within these structurally disrupted conductor zones.
East Preston Project
Azincourt controls a majority 86.5% interest in the 21,000 hectare East Preston Project. Three prospective conductive, low magnetic signature corridors have been discovered on the property. The three distinct corridors have a total strike length of over 25 km, each with multiple EM conductor trends identified. Ground prospecting and sampling work completed to date has identified outcrop, soil, biogeochemical and radon anomalies, which are key pathfinder elements for unconformity uranium deposit discovery.
The East Preston Project has multiple long linear conductors with flexural changes in orientation and offset breaks in the vicinity of interpreted fault lineaments - classic targets for basement-hosted unconformity uranium deposits. These are not just simple basement conductors; they are clearly upgraded/enhanced prospectively targets because of the structural complexity.
The targets are basement-hosted unconformity related uranium deposits similar to NexGen's Arrow deposit and Cameco's Eagle Point mine. East Preston is near the southern edge of the western Athabasca Basin, where targets are in a near surface environment without Athabasca sandstone cover - therefore they are relatively shallow targets but can have great depth extent when discovered. The project ground is located along a parallel conductive trend between the PLS-Arrow trend and Cameco's Centennial deposit (Virgin River-Dufferin Lake trend).
Permitting and Community Relations
Permits are in hand to conduct exploration activities at the East Preston property through the summer of 2026. Azincourt recognizes that the granting of these permits does not negate the rights of the local communities for meaningful consultation as the project progresses. The Company looks forward to a continued close working relationship and regular consultation with the Clearwater River Dene Nation and other rights holders to ensure that any potential impacts and concerns are addressed and that the communities can benefit from activities in the area through support of local business, employment opportunities, and sponsorship of select community programs and initiatives. Local businesses are engaged to provide services and supplies and members of the Clearwater River Dene Nation and surrounding communities have been directly employed on site or to provide support and services to keep the camp and programs running. The involvement of the local communities is essential for continued advancement of the East Preston Project.

Future Fuels Advances District-Scale Exploration Strategy For the Hornby Basin Uranium Project; Provides Marketing Update
https://www.accessnewswire.com/newsroom/en/metals-and-mining/future-fuels-advances-district-scale-exploration-strategy-for-the-hornby-basin-ur-1007476
Monday, 31 March 2025 08:30 AM
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / March 31, 2025 / Future Fuels Inc. (TSXV:FTUR)(FSE:S0J) ("Future Fuels" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the commencement of a fully integrated exploration strategy for its 100%-owned Hornby Basin Uranium Project (the "Project" or "Hornby Project"), located in Nunavut Territory, Canada. This multi-phased program is designed to significantly advance the understanding and potential of the Hornby Basin through comprehensive data digitization, advanced geological modeling, remote sensing, and artificial intelligence.
This initiative marks a critical step toward unlocking the full potential of one of Canada's most underexplored yet geologically promising uranium basins.
Comprehensive Data Compilation is Underway: Including digitization of over 200 historical assessment reports, integration of geochemical data (rock, soil, lake samples), and modernizing the Mountain Lake drill hole database.
Geological Model and Exploration Target Development: Industry-leading consultants are engaged to deliver a 3D geological model of the Mountain Lake Deposit contained in the Project, evaluate the potential for an exploration target and commence drill hole planning.
Modern Geophysics and Remote Sensing: Reprocessing of historical geophysical datasets to produce a basin-wide harmonized geophysical database. Undertake satellite spectral analysis including helium emission mapping to identify areas of potential uranium occurrences under sediment cover.
AI-Driven Target Generation: Instigation of VRIFY's advanced machine learning platform to be used for property-wide data integration, deposit-scale target learning, and increased-probability uranium discovery mapping.
Field Season Preparation: Planning exploration activities including ground truthing, potential infill drilling, airborne/ground geophysical surveys, and permitting activities.
"This is a foundational program for Future Fuels," stated Rob Leckie, President & CEO. "We're digitizing decades of inherited exploration data, building advanced geological models, and leveraging AI to guide our next steps. With the Hornby Basin now under single ownership for the first time, we're positioned to apply the full suite of modern technologies to seek new uranium discoveries and build long-term value for shareholders."
Hornby Geologic Overview
The Hornby Project is located approximately 100km NE of the historic Port Radium Uranium Mine, a significant site in Canada's uranium mining history. Port Radium was one of the world's first uranium mines, responsible for a major source of uranium during the mid-20th century. Uranium produced from Port Radium contributed to the development of the worldwide nuclear energy industry. The geological similarities and regional proximity to this historic mine emphasize the potential for exploration upside within the Hornby Basin.
The Hornby Project has the potential to host both primary and secondary uranium deposits. Primary deposits in the region are typically associated with basement-hosted hydrothermal systems, where uranium is concentrated along structural features such as faults and shear zones and deposited at certain horizons such as unconformities. Secondary uranium deposits, on the other hand, form through the redistribution of uranium by groundwater, leading to the precipitation of uranium minerals within porous sedimentary units. These secondary deposits are commonly found in roll-front settings and paleochannel environments, the relatively large extent and predictability of deposits of this style makes them an attractive exploration target. Additionally, modern extraction techniques developed for this type of sedimentary-hosted uranium further adds to the exploration rational. Both primary and secondary uranium deposit styles are common in Canada and located in areas such as Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin, Nunavut's Thelon Basin and Newfoundland and Labradors Central Mineral Belt.
Despite the Hornby Basin's strong geological potential, no current state-of-the-art exploration technology has been utilized to fully delineate its uranium potential. One reason for this is the fact that no single entity/corporation has ever controlled the entire basin until now. Modern geophysical techniques, high-resolution geochemical analysis, and advanced 3D modeling have yet to be applied, leaving significant opportunities for new discoveries. Additionally, there is considerable potential to leverage artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning algorithms (MLA) to enhance exploration targeting. AI can assist in analyzing complex geological datasets, identifying subtle patterns, and predicting high-probability uranium mineralization zones with greater accuracy and efficiency. Given the extensive historical data that has been collected across the district, and the presence of a historical deposit, Future Fuels believes the Project has excellent potential to be an effective use case for this modern tech.
The Hornby Project is geologically located within the Bear Structural Province of the Canadian Shield, an area historically known for hosting highly productive uranium deposits. The Project's geology is dominated by sedimentary units of the Helikian Hornby Bay Group and the overlying Dismal Lakes Group, both of which are known to host significant uranium mineralization. The Hornby Bay Group consists primarily of fluvial sandstones and minor marine carbonates, whereas the Dismal Lakes Group represents a sequence of continental clastics with fine-grained marine sediments, all conducive to uranium deposition.
Historical geological mapping and geophysical surveys have highlighted key structural features, such as fault intersections and basement highs, which are essential controls for uranium mineralization. The combination of structural complexity, favorable lithologies, and historical exploration success increases the Project's significant discovery potential.
Figure 1: Future Fuels Hornby Project with known uranium occurrences shown.
Historical Significance and Uranium Occurrences
The Hornby Basin, Athabasca Basin, and Thelon Basin are believed to be remnants of a larger single Proterozoic basin (Smith, 2003). Historical exploration has identified over 140 anomalous uranium assay results in sandstone rock samples, multiple uranium showings, and many significant radioactive occurrences (Figure 1). Readers are encouraged to refer to the Company's technical report in respect of the Hornby Project, available under its profile at www.sedarplus.ca (the "Future Fuels Report"), for greater detail in respect of the occurrences.
Uranium exploration in the Hornby Basin dates back to the early 1970s when regional airborne radiometric surveys first identified significant radioactive anomalies. Subsequent detailed exploration campaigns by various operators confirmed extensive uranium mineralization associated with both sedimentary and basement-hosted settings. "The most notable discovery in the area is the Mountain Lake Uranium Deposit, which was first identified in 1976 through airborne geophysical surveys and follow-up drilling" (Future Fuels Report). There are over 200 annual assessment reports documenting the historical exploration completed on licences enclosed or intersected by the current Project mineral tenure. The vast amount of work completed by multiple different operators has an estimated replacement cost of over $30 million CAD in today's dollar terms. One company, Hornby Bay Exploration Ltd., alone conducted over $10 million CAD in exploration efforts, including several geophysical surveys that identified graphitic conductors and structural disturbances at the unconformity contact, further reinforcing the basin's uranium potential (Hornby Bay Exploration Ltd., 2004). Future Fuels has found no evidence that a complete, district wide compilation has been undertaken, and much of the reports have only been scanned with an abundance of data still left to digitize. The Company believes substantial insight can be gathered from compiling all the available data into a powerful database that can be used to narrow down on highly prospective areas in a cost-effective manner and drive further discoveries in the basin.
Marketing Update
The Company also wishes to announce that it has increased the maximum budget of its engagement with MCS Market Communication Service GmbH ("MCS") for the continued provision of a range of on-line marketing services, including campaign creation, production of marketing materials, as well as research and analytics, by up to an additional 250,000 EUR. The services are expected to run until July 7, 2025, or until budget exhaustion. No securities have been provided to MCS or its principals as compensation.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Foremost Clean Energy Ltd. (NASDAQ: FMST) (CSE: FAT) (“Foremost” or the “Company”) an emerging North American uranium and lithium exploration company, is pleased to announce that the 2025 winter exploration program (the “Drill Program”) at the Hatchet Lake Uranium Project ("Hatchet"), located in the world-renowned Athabasca Basin of northern Saskatchewan, has commenced. The initial phase of the program is focused on site preparation, including modest clearing and setup of the areas targeted for diamond drill testing, which is expected to begin in the coming days. The Drill Program is designed to follow-up on encouraging results from previous drill programs completed by Denison Mines Corp. (“Denison”) (TSX: DML, NYSE American: DNN), Foremost’s largest shareholder and strategic ally, including multiple intersections of uranium mineralization.
Foremost’s CEO and President Jason Barnard comments: “We are very pleased to launch Foremost’s initial exploration program at Hatchet, which is designed to drill-test high-priority targets. This project is well situated in the heart of the eastern Athabasca Basin, which has allowed Foremost to quickly develop a winter field program by making use of the significant existing infrastructure in the region – most notably the facilities at Points North Landing located near Denison’s 22.5%-owned McClean Lake mill. We expect to have a drill turning in the not-too-distant future and are looking forward to keeping the market up to date with results.
Foremost’s pivot to uranium exploration is well timed, as the uranium market is at a critical juncture, with increasing demand for nuclear power, driven by the global energy transition, the rise of AI, and the need for reliable baseload electricity, met by a shortfall of primary uranium production, requiring new sources of supply to be developed and discovered. Over 30 countries and 160 corporations have pledged to triple nuclear power capacity by 2050, but due to several years of low uranium prices, uranium supply is struggling to keep pace. This imbalance has created a historic opportunity for uranium producers, developers, and explorers, particularly in stable jurisdictions like Canada. With supply tight, demand increasing, and government policies shifting, nuclear energy and uranium are poised for a promising future.
On a corporate note, and on behalf of Foremost and its Board of Directors, I would like to take this opportunity to recognize and sincerely thank Johnathan More for his valuable contributions and leadership during his time on our Board, and wish him continued success in his future endeavors."
Hatchet Lake Drill Program
The initial program is planned to consist of 2,000 metres of diamond drilling in 8 drill holes with target depths of approximately 250 metres each. Drilling is expected to focus on two high priority target areas: Tuning Fork and Richardson.
The program is designed to target sandstone-hosted and basement-hosted uranium mineralization along conductive trends/corridors with known and interpreted fault structures identified by previous drilling, airborne and ground electromagnetic (“EM”) and magnetic geophysical surveys. This targeting methodology aims to maximize the likelihood of intersecting high-grade uranium mineralization similar to existing notable deposits (Cigar Lake, McClean Lake, & McArthur River) in the Eastern Athabasca Basin.
Drill Target Priority
Drill targets have been prioritized to follow-up in areas where previous results with confirmed uranium mineralization are coincident with untested conductive anomalies identified through historical geophysical surveys. The intent is to expand known mineralization and discover additional mineralization by testing several high-potential areas prioritized for follow-up on completion of the 2024 exploration program (see press release March 04, 2025). Key areas of focus include:
2024 drilling identified mineralization of up to 0.11% U3O8 (RL-24-29) along the Richardson conductor (see Figure 1). 2025 drill holes intend to test the extent of the mineralized zone to the NW along the conductive trend. Basement mineralization potential remains untested SE of this zone and is also a priority for 2025
Numerous untested EM conductors exist (up to 700 metres of strike length) over the Richardson claim. Uranium mineralization, alteration, and anomalous geochemistry is proven along tested conductors, which demonstrates the discovery potential of Hatchet. The 2025 drilling campaign plans to test potential sources of the geochemical anomaly
Strongly anomalous geochemistry and graphitic brecciated shear zones intersected in 2024 along the Tuning Fork Trend warrant additional drilling and 2025 drill testing is expected to focus on the up-dip projection of the structure intersected in TF-24-12 (see Figure 2)
Planned drillholes target west of the historical mineralization in HL-10-01 (0.1% U3O8 over 1 metre at 183-184 metres & 0.02% U3O8 over 1metre at 186-187 metres) in a 9 metre fault intersection and recently identified elevated pathfinder elements encountered in TF-24-11
Historical drilling (HT-83-61) contains a 5 m (100 – 105 m) sample of base metal mineralization associated with strong radioactivity in a breccia zone. Structural information is required on this interval and is also expected to be collected as part of the planned drill program. HT-83-61 is a notable historic result, due to its high-grade nickel and cobalt contents, summarized below: 1
4.9% Ni
6.06% Co
47.6% As
Radiometric peak at 980 cps in downhole probe
By strategically targeting interpreted structures and conductive breaks identified through ground geophysics, the exploration program aims to maximize the potential for discovery in these high-priority areas.

Figure 2 – 2025 proposed drillholes along the Tuning Fork conductive trend
The Hatchet Advantage – Shallow Depth Exploration
Hatchet is located within 1.5 km of the Athabasca Basin margin, which results in shallow sandstone cover (less than 220 metres) and corresponding shallow exploration targets, enabling efficient and cost-effective drill testing. The upcoming 2025 drill campaign plans to capitalize on this advantage, including multiple drill holes to advance the evaluation of several target areas – each of which are highly prospective and have potential for discovery or which will benefit in future drill programs from additional reconnaissance.
Business Developments
Foremost would like to announce that Johnathan More shall resign from the board of directors of the Company, effective April 1, 2025, to spend more time on his other endeavors. The Board of Directors would like to thank Mr. More for his valuable contributions and wishes him every success in the future. The Board is currently evaluating alternatives with respect to appointing a new independent director to fill the vacancy left by Mr. More’s departure.
Strategic Advisor
Pursuant to a services agreement whereby Foremost has engaged a strategic advisor for support with U.S. Capital Markets, Foremost has granted 83,333 stock options (“Options”), and shall issue 62,500 common shares of the Company (“Shares”) at a deemed price of $1.20 CND per Share.

Paladin Energy: Update on the Langer Heinrich Mine and Production Guidance
https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2025/03/28/3051125/0/en/Update-on-the-Langer-Heinrich-Mine-and-Production-Guidance.html
March 27, 2025 21:15 ET | Source: Paladin Energy Ltd
PERTH, Australia, March 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Paladin Energy Ltd (ASX:PDN, TSX:PDN, OTCQX:PALAF) (Paladin or the Company) advises that operations have resumed at the Langer Heinrich Mine (LHM) following the temporary suspension due to a significant weather event1.
Unseasonal heavy rainfall has occurred in Namibia, with the LHM experiencing a one-in-fifty-year rainfall event. This impacted the Company’s plans to accelerate the commencement of mining and resulted in short-term disruptions to operations. These included the transport of people to site, restricted feed to the crushers due to the saturation of stockpiled ore, and excess surface water restricting safe access to the processing plant.
Whilst there appears to be no significant damage to the processing plant and our people are safe, there was damage to the access roads and minor civil infrastructure on the LHM site, and to the haul roads to the mine. Access to the LHM has now been re-established and processing plant operations have resumed. Paladin expects the processing plant to return to normal operation as the in-circuit inventory and chemistry stabilises and stockpiled ore saturation levels decrease.
The Company was advancing the early commencement of mining to access higher grade ore. The rain across Namibia has delayed the mobilisation of key mining equipment and personnel to site and has resulted in water ingress into the open mining pits. Whilst onsite pumping infrastructure is adequate to de-water the pits, access to the pits to commence mining is likely to be delayed.
The disruption to early commencement of mining, together with the short-term impact of the suspension of operations, and the difficulties associated with processing saturated stockpiled ore, has resulted in Paladin withdrawing production guidance for FY2025.
Paladin still expects to improve production levels in the second half of CY2025 with the blending of ore from the open pit mines. However, the disruption to the anticipated start of mining means that the Company does not expect the LHM to achieve nameplate run-rate guidance of 6Mlb by the end of CY2025. The acceleration of mining was a key initiative in offsetting the underperformance of stockpile ore and achieving nameplate production.
The LHM team continues to drive operational improvements and progress the advancement of mining. Improved water supply outcomes and strong levels of plant recoveries have provided a platform for improving plant production. Despite the delays and disruptions, the preferred mining contractor,

Trollope Mining, has commenced mining equipment mobilisation and the recruitment and training of operators. All mining permits are in place and the blasting contractor has completed mobilisation.
The Company will provide further details of production and mining in the March 2025 Quarterly Activities Report in April 2025 and looks forward to providing guidance for FY2026 with the release of its FY2025 financial results in August 2025.

News provided by Blue Sky Uranium Corp. Mar 26, 2025, 07:00 ET
TSX Venture Exchange (TSX-V): BSK
Frankfurt Stock Exchange (FSE): MAL2
OTCQB Venture Market (OTC): BKUCF
VANCOUVER, BC, March 26, 2025 /CNW/ - Blue Sky Uranium Corp. (TSXV: BSK) (FSE: MAL2) (OTC: BKUCF), ("Blue Sky" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has, with its joint-venture ("JV") partner Abatare Spain, S.L.U. ("COAM"), founded the new operating company Ivana Minerales S.A. ("JVCO") that will advance the Ivana Uranium-Vanadium deposit in Rio Negro Province of Argentina, per the previously announced earn-in transaction ("the Agreement") (see News Release dated February 27, 2025). The Company also announces that Mr. Luis Leandro Rivera has been appointed as General Manager for JVCO. Mr. Rivera has thirty years of experience in all facets of mining from exploration to mine operations, including most recently serving as Senior Vice President of the Latin American region for AngloGold Ashanti ("AGA"). In that role, he oversaw the senior management responsible for operations, sustainability, finance and other functions at four mines in two countries. Prior to that, he was General Manager of AGA's Cerro Vanguardia mine in Argentina.
Nikolaos Cacos, President & CEO of the Company stated, "We are very pleased to welcome a mining professional of Mr. Rivera's caliber to steer the team in Argentina and help to drive the advancement of Ivana towards potential production. He has hit the ground running and in just a few short weeks has helped to establish an efficient and cost-effective operating structure for JVCO and integrated our experienced teams into the new company. He has also overseen bids for engineering groups and supervised the planning of the next phase of exploration drilling for the project. We look forward to an energetic program in the coming months that will continue to build value at this exciting project."
JVCO is currently vetting engineering groups to support the planned prefeasibility/feasibility study for the Ivana deposit and expects to establish new contracts in the following months. At the same time, the new company is initiating an exploration drilling program to test for new resources. The planned campaign includes up to 6,000 metres of Reverse Circulation ("RC") drilling in approximately 315 shallow holes. The drilling will step out up to two kilometers surrounding the Ivana deposit and will include testing a previously undrilled target area called "Bajo Huenteleo". This target is considered highly prospective for uranium mineralization but until recently was inaccessible due to persistent flooding conditions. The campaign is expected to continue over approximately the next six months.
The programs are fully funding via the Agreement, in which COAM will fund cumulative expenditures of US$35 million to acquire a 49.9% indirect equity interest in the Ivana deposit, and then has the further right to earn up to an 80% equity interest in JVCO by completion of a feasibility study and funding the costs and expenditures up to US$160,000,000 to develop and construct the project to commercial production, subject to the terms and conditions in the Agreement.
JVCO Operating Details
Mr. Rivera will report to the Board of JVCO, composed by members representing the interest of each party. In order to maximize the use of funds, both partners will provide support work in lieu of hiring dedicated teams. Administrative functions including Purchasing, Finance and Legal will be supported by affiliates of Corporación América, while roles such as Environmental, Properties and Databases will continue to be assumed by the Grosso Group team that Blue Sky has used since its inception. All field personnel including the three geologists and the previous Project Manager will join JVCO, maintaining technical continuity.

Azincourt Energy Plans Inaugural Work Program at the Snegamook Uranium Project
Permits received
Up to 1000 meters of initial drilling planned to confirm and expand known uranium mineralization
https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/245932/Azincourt-Energy-Plans-Inaugural-Work-Program-at-the-Snegamook-Uranium-Project
March 25, 2025 3:00 AM EDT | Source: Azincourt Energy Corp.
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 25, 2025) - AZINCOURT ENERGY CORP. (TSXV: AAZ) (OTCQB: AZURF) ("Azincourt" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce that it has permitting for an exploration program at its recently acquired Snegamook uranium project (the "Project"), located in the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador.
SUMMARY:
Azincourt Energy has received permitting for and will begin exploration at its newly acquired Snegamook Uranium Project in Canada's Central Mineral Belt, near the historical Two Time Zone deposit (Indicated and Inferred resource of 5.55 Mlb U3O8, June 2008)*.
Historical drilling at the Snegamook Project revealed shallow-dipping uranium lenses with grades up to 0.11% U3O8, indicating strong potential for further discovery.
The Company's 2025 work program includes site reconnaissance, review of historical drill core, and up to 1,000 meters of helicopter-supported diamond drilling to confirm and expand known mineralization.
The Project is strategically located to the southeast of Snegamook Lake within Labrador's Central Mineral Belt and less than 1 km south of the Two Time Zone (Indicated and Inferred resource of 5.55 Mlb U3O8, June 2008)*, formerly held by Silver Spruce Resources Inc. as part of a larger land package, and consists of a mineral licence block comprised of 17 contiguous claims covering 423 hectares.
Drilling to follow up a radon gas anomaly identified the "Snegamook Zone" uranium occurrence located 1.3 km along strike to the southeast of the Two Time Zone (Figure 1, below). Four mineralized lenses were traced over a strike length of 300 meters and to a vertical depth of 200 meters. The lenses are shallow dipping (15 to 20 degrees west) and vary in width from five to 53 meters with values ranging from 225 to 771 ppm U3O8. Individual one-meter samples returned values up to 0.11% U3O8.

Mineralization and related hydrothermal alteration appear to be structurally controlled within lineaments crosscutting the host intrusive gneissic units. The zones appear to be disrupted to the south and down dip by steeply dipping fault structures that displace the basement gneiss but remain open to the north.
Drilling to test a radon gas anomaly 500 meters to the south of the Snegamook Zone also intersected zones of mineralization with grades up to 0.11% U3O8 over 3 m and 0.11% U3O8 over 2 m.
The Company is proposing an initial program of site reconnaissance and assessment of historical core located at the site of the old exploration camp from 2008, to be followed by up to 1,000 m of diamond drilling to confirm the existing mineralization within the Snegamook Zone and begin to expand the unnamed showing identified to the south. The program is anticipated to utilize one helicopter supported drill rig based out of a temporary work camp in the area. All equipment and supplies would be staged out of Happy Valley - Goose Bay, approximately 100 km to the south. It is anticipated that the reconnaissance phase of the program will be undertaken in June with the diamond drilling conducted in late summer to early fall.
"We are excited to get on the ground at Snegamook and begin to expand this deposit" said Vice President, Exploration Trevor Perkins. "The Project has great potential, and historical work has just given a hint of what may be in store for us to discover," continued Mr. Perkins.

About the Spur Project
The Spur Project comprises nine claims covering 17,929 hectares. It is located just south of the Athabasca Basin in northern Saskatchewan, a region globally renowned for its high-grade uranium deposits. The property is approximately 40 kilometers southeast of Cameco’s Key Lake Mill Operation and 20 kilometers southwest of Skyharbour Resources/Terra Clean Energy’s Fraser Lakes Zone B deposit (Figure 1). The Spur Project’s geological setting combines Proterozoic basement rocks of the Wollaston Group and uraniferous pegmatites, presenting potential for uranium, thorium and rare earth element (REE) exploration. The Spur Project offers lower cost exploration due to the absence of Athabasca Sandstone cover. Adjacent Properties host high-grade surface grab samples including the Pipe Lake Showing with up to 8.0% U3O8 (sample # R69-10)2 within a hornblende-rich pegmatite 2.5 km northeast of the Spur Project boundary. The Red October Showing, east of the project boundary, shows grab sample assays of up to 1.93% U (sample # JBELR063)3 within syenite, and an outcrop chip sample through semipelitic gneiss showing 1.34% U (sample # AGELR008)3 over 1 meter.
About the 914W Project
The 914W Project consists of one claim covering 1,260 hectares. It is situated approximately 48 km southwest of Cameco’s Key Lake Operation, offering favourable logistics and access via Highway 914. The 914W Project is positioned within the Western Wollaston Domain, known for unconformity/basement hosted uranium mineralization. The 914W Project hosts favorable geology with local graphite bearing assemblages. Immediately to the north of the 914W property is the Scurry Rainbow Zone E4 and the Don Lake Trenches5, where up to 1,288 ppm U was encountered in drill hole ML-11, and surface prospecting revealed up to 0.64% U3O8 in a trench at Don Lake Zone E4. While historical exploration conducted several geophysical and geological surveys over portions of the property, most of the 914W Project remains underexplored. Mustang sees notable potential for advancing uranium and rare earth element (REE) exploration on this property.

Cosa's Initial Drilling Program at Murphy Lake North Uranium Project Identifies Two Kilometre Strike Extension of Hurricane Trend
https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/245345/Cosas-Initial-Drilling-Program-at-Murphy-Lake-North-Uranium-Project-Identifies-Two-Kilometre-Strike-Extension-of-Hurricane-Trend
March 20, 2025 7:30 AM EDT | Source: Cosa Resources Corp.
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 20, 2025) - Cosa Resources Corp. (TSXV: COSA) (OTCQB: COSAF) (FSE: SSKU) ("Cosa" or the "Company") is pleased to report the inaugural drill program has confirmed that the Murphy Lake North Uranium Project contains up to 2 kilometres strike length of the extension of geology underpinning the Hurricane deposit. Murphy Lake North ("MLN" or the "Property") is a joint venture (the "Joint Venture") between Cosa and Denison Mines Corp. ("Denison") (TSX: DML) (NYSE American: DNN) and is located in the eastern Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan. Cosa is the project operator and holds a 70% interest with Denison holding a 30% interest.
Highlights
Located and defined the Hurricane trend extension within Murphy Lake North, the primary objective of the inaugural drilling campaign
Final drill hole intersected a significant zone of sandstone-hosted alteration and structure, overshooting optimal target by 25 metres; zone is open along strike in both directions and up to two kilometres of untested Hurricane trend strike length is interpreted within Murphy Lake North
Plans are in development for a fully funded summer drill program to follow up winter drilling results
Keith Bodnarchuk, Cosa President and CEO, commented: "The results of our inaugural drill program at the Murphy Lake North Joint Venture have exceeded our expectations and have confirmed our thesis that MLN hosts the same geology underpinning the Hurricane deposit only a few kilometres away. These initial results require immediate follow up, leading to the decision to leave the drill and equipment on-site to ensure a seamless summer start-up and significant cost savings. Having recently closed our C$6 million oversubscribed private placement, we are fully funded for the foreseeable future and intend to meet with our Joint Venture partner and largest shareholder, Denison Mines, as soon as possible to develop plans for an exciting follow up drill program."
Andy Carmichael, Cosa VP Exploration, commented: "The key objective of winter drilling at MLN was to locate and define the extension of Hurricane trend basement rocks and structures within the Property. In addition to meeting that objective, the final hole of the winter program, MLN25-004, intersected a sandstone-hosted hydrothermal alteration zone cored by structure on the southern side of the trend and is interpreted to have overshot the optimal target by 25 metres. As only one drill hole at MLN has targeted this side of the trend, the alteration zone is wide open along strike to the east and west, indicating that MLN may host up to two kilometres of entirely untested Hurricane stratigraphy. We eagerly await analytical results which will be instrumental in prioritizing this zone for follow up among the abundant drill targets on this shallow, prospective project."
Murphy Lake North
Murphy Lake North covers a portion of the Larocque Lake trend and is located 2.7 kilometres east of the Hurricane deposit (Figures 1 & 2). Hurricane is the world's highest-grade Indicated Uranium Resource and was discovered and delineated for IsoEnergy Ltd. by current members of Cosa's management, board of directors, and advisors from 2018 through 2022. The Larocque Lake trend also hosts the Larocque Lake Zone, Yelka Prospect, and Alligator Lake Zone.
MLN also contains approximately six kilometres of conductive strike length oriented sub-parallel to conductive features associated with the Hurricane deposit (Figure 2). Limited historical drilling on MLN intersected weak uranium mineralization in the basement and zones of alteration and structure in the sandstone and basement. Historical drilling, completed before the discovery of Hurricane, focused on the western extremity of the Property and left most of the conductive strike length untested. Abundant drill targets exist at MLN. The depth to the unconformity at MLN varies from approximately 170 to 250 metres.
Per the completed Acquisition Agreement between Cosa and Denison (see Cosa's news release dated January 14, 2025), Cosa sole funded this initial MLN drill program as part of the Company's obligation to fund 100% of the first $1.5 million of exploration expenditures at the Project by December 31st, 2027.
Winter Drill Program
A four-hole drill program totalling 1,739 metres was completed from mid-February through early March (Figures 2 through 4). The primary objectives of the program were to locate and define the interpreted strike extension of the Hurricane (CH1) trend and follow up historical intersections of weak uranium mineralization on the parallel Cyclone (CH2) trend to the south. Drill holes were collared at inclinations between -55° and -67° and true vertical depths are less than the down hole depths referred to herein.
Hurricane (CH1) Trend
Three drill holes completed on the CH1 trend succeeded in locating graphitic basement rocks and structures interpreted as the extension of those underpinning the Hurricane deposit. Sandstones in all three drill holes were anomalous, with each hole containing widespread bleached zones. MLN25-004, the final hole of the winter program and the southernmost on the trend, intersected the strongest sandstone alteration on the Project to date (Figures 3 & 4).
From 197 metres to the unconformity at 274 metres, MLN25-004 intersected a broad zone of moderate to strong hydrothermal alteration. The zone contained a broad interval of fracturing, faulting, and desilicification from 223.5 to 260 metres where core loss averaged 20% and hydrothermal hematite was locally present. Fracturing and associated desilicification decreased in the 14 metres immediately above the unconformity though the sandstone remained strongly bleached and contained patches of hydrothermal hematite. Basement rocks in MLN25-004 were strongly graphitic and pyritic from 390 metres to the end of hole and with a significant fault zone from 393.7 to 397.0 metres that includes cataclasite. Like at Hurricane, this prospective structure is located at the contact between graphitic and non-graphitic rocks.
MLN25-004 is interpreted to have overshot the optimal target by approximately 25 metres where basement faulting is inferred to root the altered structural zone in the sandstone (Figure 4). As MLN25-004 is the only drill hole on the Project to target this portion of the Hurricane trend, the alteration zone is open along strike to the east and west (Figure 3).
MLN25-001 tested the up-dip projection of basement structures intersected by historical drill hole CRK-143. MLN25-001 intersected broad, weakly to moderately bleached zones through most of the sandstone and a strongly bleached, moderately desilicified zone in the basal 3 metres of sandstone. Strongly graphitic and pyritic basement rocks were intersected as well as a hematite-altered breccia 16 metres below the unconformity.
MLN25-003 targeted the hematitic structure 140 metres northeast of MLN25-001. Below broad, weakly to moderately bleached zones in the sandstone, MLN25-003 intersected primarily non-graphitic, non-pyritic basement rocks. MLN25-003 is interpreted to have been collared too far to the north to intersect Hurricane trend basement geology.
Additional work is warranted on the Hurricane (CH1) trend to:
Follow up the zone of alteration and structure intersected in the lower sandstone by MLN25-004
Follow up the prospective cataclasite intersected in the basement by MLN25-004
Continue testing the approximately 2 kilometres of Hurricane trend within MLN
Cyclone (CH2) Trend
Drill hole MLN25-002 was completed to follow up weak basement hosted mineralization intersected by historical drill hole CRK-144 on the CH2 trend (Figures 2 & 3), now referred to as the Cyclone trend by Cosa. MLN25-002 intersected broad, pervasively bleached zones and intervals of silicification throughout the sandstone as well as clay alteration in the lower sandstone, suggesting the presence of a significant hydrothermal alteration zone in the area. Graphitic rocks were not intersected in the basement, indicating the drill hole was not optimally targeted and the area remains prospective.
The widespread alteration in the sandstone of MLN25-002 and the historical intersections of weak uranium mineralization in the basement of CRK-144 emphasize the prospectivity of the CH2 trend. Drilling to date has targeted the western portion of MLN, leaving 90% of this five-kilometre-long conductive trend undrilled.
Additional work is warranted along the CH2 trend to:
Follow up historical drilling results, including sandstone alteration and structure with anomalous lead (Pb) in historical hole CRK-145
Drill test the 4.5 kilometres of untested conductive strike east of existing drilling
Next Steps
Planning is underway for a fully funded summer drill program. The focus of summer drilling is expected to be following up the MLN25-004 alteration zone along strike. Winter assay results are pending and will influence summer drilling, including whether to follow up MLN25-004 on section.
The drill rig and support equipment remain on site to minimize costs and increase efficiency for the planned summer drilling program.

About Cosa Resources Corp.
Cosa Resources is a Canadian uranium exploration company operating in northern Saskatchewan. The portfolio comprises roughly 237,000 ha across multiple 100% owned and Cosa-operated Joint Venture projects in the Athabasca Basin region, all of which are underexplored, and the majority reside within or adjacent to established uranium corridors.
In January of 2025, the Company entered a transformative strategic collaboration with Denison Mines that has secured Cosa access into several additional highly prospective eastern Athabasca uranium exploration projects. As Cosa's largest shareholder, Denison gains exposure to Cosa's potential for exploration success and its pipeline of uranium projects.
Cosa's award-winning management team has a long track record of success in Saskatchewan. In 2022, members of the Cosa team were awarded the AME Colin Spence Award for their previous involvement in discovering IsoEnergy's Hurricane deposit. Prior to Hurricane, Cosa personnel led teams or had integral roles in the discovery of Denison's Gryphon deposit and 92 Energy's GMZ zone and held key roles in the founding of both NexGen and IsoEnergy.
The Company's core focus throughout 2025 is drilling at the Murphy Lake North Joint Venture. Murphy Lake North is a 70/30 Joint Venture between Cosa and Denison respectively and is located at the northern end of the Larocque Lake trend. The Project is within three kilometres of and on trend with the Hurricane deposit. Initial drilling completed by Cosa during winter 2025 intersected broad zones of hydrothermal alteration of the sandstone, associated with prospective basement structures interpreted as the strike extension of those controlling the Hurricane deposit. An expanded follow up campaign is currently in planning for the summer season.
Technical Disclosure
Historical drilling and geophysical results for Murphy Lake North and adjacent projects were sourced from the Saskatchewan Mineral Assessment Database (SMAD). SMAD sources for the Murphy Lake North Project include file numbers 74I-0060, 74I09-0057, 74I09-0064, 74I09-0066, 74I09-0077, 74I09-0098, and MAW00510.
SMAD sources for drilling and geophysical results proximal to Murphy Lake North include 64L05-0161, 64L05-0180, 74I-0066, 74I-0067, 74I01-0114, 74I08-0056, 74I09-0053, 74I09-0061, 74I09-0064, 74I09-0071, 74I09-0079, 74I09-0087, 74I09-0088, 74I09-0090, 74I09-0091, 74I09-0092, MAW01939, MAW02327, MAW02599, and MAW02395.
Drill hole collar locations for Murphy Lake North and relevant along-strike drill holes were verified from air photos. The collar locations of Murphy Lake North drill holes CRK-144 and CRK-145 were verified on the ground using a handheld GPS and determined to be within 20 metres of the locations derived from air photos. Segments of drill core from CRK-143 and CRK-144 were reviewed in the field; further review was hampered by the deteriorated condition of core boxes.
Verification of historical geophysical results included confirming the locations of geophysical survey grids from air photos, compiling data from geophysical surveys completed post year 2000, engaging a consultant to re-interpret historical survey data, and evaluating whether interpreted geophysical results could be reasonably explained by historical drilling results.

ATHA Energy: Independent Report Confirms Uranium Discovery and Expansion Potential at Angilak - Highlights 31 KM Rib-Nine Iron Trend With Grades up to 30.3% U3O8 & Mushroom Lake With Grades of up to 47.8% U3O8 in Outcrops
https://www.accessnewswire.com/newsroom/en/metals-and-mining/independent-report-confirms-uranium-discovery-and-expansion-potential-at-angilak-1002717
Thursday, 20 March 2025 07:00 AM
HIGHLIGHTS
The Angilak Project is situated around the Angikuni Basin, which is a direct analog to the Athabasca Basin with comparatively little exploration. The Project is anchored by the Lac 50 Deposit in addition to eight named showings containing high-grade uranium located across the project area;
SRK Consulting completed regional scale Structural Interpretation and Targeting Assessment that identifies the major primary and secondary structural controls (conduits, traps, and the overall plumbing system for uranium) hosting the majority of high-grade mineralized discoveries beyond the Lac 50 Deposit area at the Angilak Project located in Nunavut, Canada;
Understanding these controls provides the Company with a roadmap for targeting additional discoveries, such as unconformity and basement - Athabasca style - high-grade uranium mineralization within the Angikuni Basin;
Rib-Nine Iron Trend:
Increased from 25 to 31 km and is now interpreted to extend under the cover of the Angikuni Basin;
Along the Eastern margins outcrops with historic (2014) samples proximal to the Nine-Iron Discovery with grades up to 30.3% U3O8 have been discovered on surface, these showings have not been drill tested at depth;
Along the Western margin, historic drilling at the RIB Discovery intersected shallow (<25 m depth) mineralization with grades of up to 5.6% U3O8, hosted within graphitic pelitic rocks with Athabasca style alteration (Figure 1 & 3);
Along the Northern margin outcrops with historic (2014) samples and historic drilling have returned grades >1% U3O8;
Numerous similar structural targets have now been identified along this trend, extending under the cover of the Angikuni Basin;
Mushroom Lake Outcrop and Lac 50 Deposit:
The report interprets that the Angikuni Shear Zone and secondary extensional structures transect the Lac 50 Deposit area and correlate with the Mushroom Lake Outcrop;
These secondary structures act as the controls and host high-grade uranium;
Outcrop samples at Mushroom Lake from historic samples have returned grades of up to 47.8% U3O8;
The Mushroom Lake Outcrop extends over an area of ~3 km and remains untested at depth (Figure 1 & 3);
As a result of the findings from the SRK report, the Company has increased the size of its Angilak project by an additional 25,194 acres. The newly staked ground makes ATHA the dominant player in both the Angikuni and Yathkyed Basins;
Mobilization of equipment, fuel, and supplies to the Angilak Uranium Project, in anticipation of the 2025 Exploration Program;
Beginning in April, the Company is planning to execute localized and regional aerial and ground geophysical surveys designed to de-risk expansion and exploration targets in advance of the Company's diamond drilling phase of the 2025 Angilak Exploration Program;
The Company anticipates releasing full results from its 2024 Exploration Program - including drill results from its Gemini Project - in the coming weeks, in addition to announcing ATHA's 2025 Exploration Plans on its portfolio of tier I uranium assets.
Troy Boisjoli, CEO commented: "ATHA Energy acquired the Angilak Uranium Project just one year ago. Since that time, the Company has a applied a systematic, geoscience first approach to exploration - completing a >10,000 m drill program to test the extent of mineralization surrounding the Lac 50 Deposit, a regional surficial mapping survey that identified widespread outcrops containing high-grade uranium mineralization outside of the Lac 50 Deposit area, and a regional MMT survey that highlighted the RIB-Nine Iron Trend that extends under the Angikuni Basin, and where Athabasca style mineralization and alteration has already been identified. These steps have resulted in the substantial derisking of Angilak, and have led to our realization that the Angikuni Basin has untapped Athabasca potential."
Cliff Revering, VP Exploration added: "The discovery potential within the Angilak Project area continues to grow as we further compile and integrate historical data with the new information and understanding obtained from our 2024 exploration program. The extent of uranium mineralization observed in surficial mapping, sampling and drill intercepts, coupled with the 2024 MMT survey results, and SRK's interpretation of the Angikuni Basin structural architecture and uranium mineralization controls, highlights the significant potential for discovery of additional high-grade, Athabasca-style uranium deposits. Given the immense scale of highly prospective and untested exploration corridors within the project area, we continue to view the Angikuni Basin as an exciting and emerging uranium district."
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / March 20, 2025 / ATHA Energy Corp. (TSXV:SASK)(FRA:X5U)(OTCQB:SASKF) ("ATHA" or the "Company"), holder of the largest uranium exploration portfolio in two of the highest-grade uranium districts globally, is pleased to announce results from SRK Consulting's independent report detailing Angilak Structural Interpretation and Targeting Assessment at the Company's 100%-owned Angilak Uranium Project (the "Project") in Nunavut, Canada.
The Report was authored by Dr. Ron Uken, Principal Structural Geologist at SRK Consulting (Canada) Ltd. and provided a regional structural interpretation of the Angilak Project which detailed the structural architecture of the Angikuni Basin and controls on uranium mineralization. The area of focus was the northern half of the Angikuni Basin, where the majority of exploration and discovery of uranium has occurred (Figure 1). Dr. Uken utilized multilevel geophysical, geochemical and geo-structural data collected by the Company to interpret the structural architecture of the Angikuni Basin formation and controls on uranium mineralization.
ANGILAK PROJECT - NUNAVUT
The Angilak Uranium Project is situated within the Angikuni Basin, approximately 225 km southwest of Baker Lake in the Kivalliq Region of Nunavut (Figure 1). The Project is anchored by the Lac 50 Deposit, in addition there are currently eight named showings containing high-grade uranium, located across the project area. These numerous regional discoveries, both within the Angikuni Basin as well as along its margins - demonstrating many similarities to high-grade uranium discoveries in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan. One such prominent regional discovery within the Angilak Project area is the Dipole Showing, located along the western rim of the Angikuni Basin 25 km to the southwest of the Lac 50 Corridor. Previous operators of the Project completed 24 diamond drill holes in the Dipole Showing and intersected grades of up to 5.53% U3O8 over 0.5 m.
Figure 1: Plan Map detailing Lac 50 Deposit location with the Angilak Uranium Project
After acquiring the Project in March, 2024, the Company commenced its maiden exploration program which comprised three phases: Phase I - diamond drilling, Phase II - Surficial mapping and sampling, and Phase III - Geophysics.
Phase I - Between early June and late August, the Company completed 25 diamond drill holes comprising ~10,000 m. The drilling Phase of the campaign focused in and around the Lac 50 Deposit area, designed to explore the envelop of mineralization. The program proved extremely successful, with 100% of the drill holes intersecting uranium mineralization. Assay results are highlighted by grades of up to 5.85% U3O8 over 0.5 m.
Phase II - Surficial mapping was completed by late August. The mapping program successfully identified numerous additional high-grade uranium outcrops on surface and further outlined the Mushroom Lake Outcrop. Mushroom Lake is a 3 km area just to the north of the Lac 52 trend within the Lac 54 trend, with previously identified historic outcrop samples grading up to 47.8% U3O8.
Figure 2: 2024 Lac 50 Deposit Long-section Schematic
Phase III - Geophysics was completed by late September 2024 and utilized an Airborne Mobile MagnetoTellurics ("MMT") survey totaling 5,946-line kilometres. The survey covers the northern half of the Angilak Project (Figure 1) - representing approximately 85% of the original project area, pre-2024 staking - inclusive of the Lac 48, 50, 52, and 54 mineralized trends (known as the "Lac 50 Deposit" area), as well as the eastern, western, and northern margins of the Angikuni Basin.
Results from the MMT survey confirm the depth extent of the prospective conductive horizons that host uranium mineralization at the Lac 50 Deposit and Nine Iron Discovery (Figure 1). At the Lac 50 Deposit the survey indicates that the prospective conductive horizons extend to approximately 1 km depth, while at Nine Iron Discovery the prospective horizons extend to approximately 800 m depth. At both areas the results demonstrate the potential for mineralization to extend well beyond the current envelops of mineralization. Additionally, along the western margin of the Angikuni Basin a 31 km conductive trend - significantly more conductive than Lac 50 and Nine Iron - has been identified. During the late 1970's several rounds of exploration took place along the Western Margin Trend ("WMT"), inclusive of diamond drilling, trenching and soil sampling, which resulted in the discovery of numerous uranium showings, including Rib and Yat.
At the Rib Discovery - located ~30 km southwest of the Lac 50 Deposit, situated along the western margin of the Angikuni Basin - early exploration programs were conducted by Noranda Exploration Company ("Noranda"). Between 1977 and 1979 Noranda completed 30 diamond drill holes at the Rib Discovery intersecting Athabasca Basin style unconformity alteration, structure, and lithologies associated with shallow (<25 m depth) uranium mineralization with grades of up to 5.6% U3O8 hosted within graphitic mylonites. These historic drill results demonstrate that the Angikuni Basin has the potential to host Athabasca Basin style basement and unconformity type uranium mineralization. Coupling of the historic drill results with the 2024 MMT survey results and the recent structural interpretation completed by SRK, the scale and potential of the WMT to host multiple additional unconformity and basement type uranium mineralized zones along the 31 km trend is high. Importantly, as was typical of 1970 - 1980's Athabasca Basin exploration the maximum depth of drilling at Rib is ~100 m, ending in what is now considered to be prospective alteration and lithologies. The 2024 MMT survey demonstrates that the prospective conductive horizon along the WMT extends from surface to depths of more than 1 km, within and along the margins of the Angikuni Basin.

SRK REPORT RESULTS
The results of the report highlight the major regional structural controls of the Yathkyed and Angikuni Basins. The Angikuni Basin is bounded by dominant NE trending structures, the Ferguson and Angilak Shear zones respectively, which are connected by sigmodal linkage structures with EW to WSW trends. Structures show a strong relationship with the Angikuni Basin geometry defined by dominant NE trends and WNW Lac 50 trends.
Structures can be interpreted as forming an extensional pull apart basin complex, developed within a dextral strike slip system during NW-SE directed contraction. In this setting sigmoidal cross basin dextral transtensional strike-slip shear zones were likely active during basin development. Recent geochronology results suggest that U-mineralization was likely active during basin development and that the structural system identified likely also controlled fluid flow and mineralization, indicating the potential for unconformity and basement styles of mineralization to be found within the Angikuni Basin.
The report also illustrates that the RIB-Nine Iron trend ais controlled by a large regional sigmodal dextral relay structure that along strike is prospective to host uranium mineralization. In addition, the WNW Lac 50 Deposit parallel trends, identified across the project area (outside of the Lac 50 area), are likely associated with extensional kinematics within this structural setting. For this reason, these structures remain highly prospective to host uranium mineralization as demonstrated from within the Lac 50 Deposit. The Angilak Project, both within the Angikuni Basin and along its periphery, are compatible with a structural architecture that supports a target-rich environment for discovery of uranium mineralization.

Snow Lake Mobilizing Phase 2 Drill Program at Engo Valley
https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/245199/Snow-Lake-Mobilizing-Phase-2-Drill-Program-at-Engo-Valley
March 19, 2025 6:00 AM EDT | Source: Snow Lake Resources Ltd
Winnipeg, Manitoba--(Newsfile Corp. - March 19, 2025) - Snow Lake Resources Ltd., d/b/a Snow Lake Energy (NASDAQ: LITM) ("Snow Lake"), a uranium exploration and development company, announces that mobilization has begun for the Phase 2 drill program at its Engo Valley Uranium Project ("Engo Valley").
Highlights
Mobilization of the Phase 2 drill program is now underway
Phase 2 drill program is planned to consist of up to 7,500 meters of a combination of reverse circulation and diamond drilling, and is designed to provide a drill database sufficient to calculate a maiden uranium mineral resource estimate in accordance with SK-1300
The global uranium market is currently facing a supply deficit, and after years of underinvestment in new primary uranium supply, along with geopolitical and security issues in Russia and Niger, demand for uranium remains steady due to the global need for clean energy and carbon-free electricity
Following its recent capital raisings totaling ~US$37 million, Snow Lake is fully funded to undertake Phase 2, and calculate and publish a maiden mineral resource estimate for Engo Valley
CEO Remarks
"We are pleased to have reached the milestone of mobilization for our Phase 2 drill program at Engo Valley," said Frank Wheatley, CEO of Snow Lake. "Our objective for this program is clear - to develop a drill data base sufficient to allow us to calculate a maiden resource estimate at Engo Valley in the second half of 2025."
"With global demand for uranium continuing to increase due to the ongoing construction of nuclear reactors worldwide, coupled with the U.S. government's renewed focus on nuclear energy, we believe our Phase 2 drill program at Engo Valley provides us with the opportunity to delineate a potentially economic uranium resource in Namibia, currently the third largest global uranium producer.
When combined with our recently announced 50/50 joint venture with Global Uranium and Enrichment Limited on the Pine Ridge Uranium Project in Wyoming, we believe we are assembling a portfolio of uranium assets with the potential to create significant shareholder value."
Phase 2 Drill Program
The Phase 2 drill program ("Phase 2") has been planned to consist of an aggregate of up to 7,500 meters of a combination of reverse circulation and diamond drill holes in an in-fill grid pattern sufficient to allow the calculation of a maiden mineral resource estimate. Phase 2 will be focused on the Main Uranium Occurrence ("MUO"), and the D1 target area ("D1").
A number of drill holes will be undertaken on some of the targets identified by the radon cup survey (undertaken in 2024), outside of the MOU and D1. Downhole radiometrics will be conducted on each drill hole.
With mobilization to site now underway, the preparation of a maiden mineral resource estimate, assuming drilling goes according to plan and assay results are received in a timely fashion, is targeted for completion during the second half of 2025.
The Uranium Supply Chain - Primary Uranium Supply
Uranium is a crucial mineral for energy and national security - it fuels the nuclear energy that underpins today's economy and is key to propelling future growth to meet the surge in energy demand from artificial intelligence. The uranium-to-nuclear fuel supply chain is lengthy, complex and riddled with supply chain vulnerabilities, from mine to reactor.
Supply chain vulnerabilities and dependence on foreign countries create energy security risks. Uranium is mined primarily in Kazakhstan (43%), Canada (15%), Namibia (11%), Australia (9%), Uzbekistan (7%) and Russia (5%). The United States mined just 0.02% of the world's uranium production in 2022. Currently, the United States is reliant on imports for 90% of its mined uranium ore needs, and 95% of its yellow cake (U3O8) needs.1

HALIFAX, NS, March 19, 2025 /CNW/ - Fortune Bay Corp. (TSXV: FOR) (FWB: 5QN) (OTCQB: FTBYF) ("Fortune Bay" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the commencement of drilling at Howland Lake on the Murmac Uranium Project ("Murmac" or the "Project"), located in northern Saskatchewan near Uranium City.
Figure 1: Howland Lake radon-in-water results and drill targets. (CNW Group/Fortune Bay Corp.)
The program is expected to include up to six drill holes, totalling approximately 900 metres, to further test the Howland Lake electromagnetic ("EM") conductors which returned uranium intercepts from first-pass drilling. As demonstrated from previous exploration results, the Project has potential to host high-grade, basement-hosted deposits typical of the Athabasca Basin.
Exploration work at Murmac is being funded by Aero Energy Limited (TSXV: AERO) (OTC Pink: AAUGF) (FSE: UU3) ("Aero"), and is being operated by Fortune Bay, under an Option Agreement that was executed on December 15, 2023.
Highlights:
High-Grade Follow-Up: Drilling to be focused at Howland Lake North on targets along strike of drill hole M24-017 that intersected 8.40 m at 0.30% U3O8, with individual assays up to 13.80% U3O8 over 0.10 m. Additional drilling is planned at Howland Lake South, along strike of drill hole M22-012 that intersected 0.17% U3O8 over 0.10 m.
Compelling Drill Target Support: Selected drill targets (Figure 1) are backed by favorable criteria for high-grade basement-hosted deposits, including EM conductor breaks, structure, and significant hydrothermal alteration noted in historical drill holes. Known mineralized cross faults and strong radon-in-water anomalies from recent surveys further support target selection (see News Release dated February 20, 2025).
Focused Drilling Program: The winter 2025 drilling program will be focused on priority targets developed at Howland Lake which will be more efficiently tested from ice-based drill hole locations. Numerous other priority targets have also been identified along Murmac's extensive graphitic corridors (>35 kilometres of strike) that warrant future drill testing.
Dale Verran, CEO for Fortune Bay, commented "Alongside Aero Energy, we are excited to have started this next phase of exploration at Murmac, directed at drill testing a set of priority targets at Howland Lake. These targets possess the necessary criteria for a meaningful basement-hosted discovery, and we are looking forward to the results."

Azincourt Energy Completes Data Acquisition and Compilation at the Prospective Snegamook Uranium Project
https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/244991/Azincourt-Energy-Completes-Data-Acquisition-and-Compilation-at-the-Prospective-Snegamook-Uranium-Project

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 18, 2025) - AZINCOURT ENERGY CORP. (TSXV: AAZ) (OTCQB: AZURF) ("Azincourt" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce that it has completed the data acquisition and compilation of historic data available for its recently acquired Snegamook uranium project (the "Snegamook Project" or the "Project"), located in the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador.
SUMMARY
The Snegamook Project contains known uranium mineralization and is strategically positioned near several major uranium discoveries, including Two Time, Moran, Kitts, and Jacques Lake.
Historical drilling by Silver Spruce Resources at the Snegamook Project (2006-2008) indicated multiple lenses of uranium mineralization over a 300-metre strike length and to a vertical depth of 200 metres, with grades ranging from 225 to 771 ppm U3O8. Some zones contain higher-grade uranium concentrations (e.g., 0.11% U3O8 over 3m).
A preliminary non-NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate was completed in 2008 but never officially filed.
Azincourt aims to verify and expand historical mineralization through a new drill program, with the intention of re-evaluating the Snegamook deposit and establishing an initial resource estimate.
The Snegamook Project is strategically located to the southeast of Snegamook Lake within Labrador's Central Mineral Belt and less than 1 km south of the Two Time Zone (Indicated and Inferred resource of 5.55 Mlb U3O8, June 2008)*, formerly held by Silver Spruce Resources Inc. as part of a larger land package. The Project consists of a mineral licence block comprised of 17 contiguous claims covering 423 hectares and is located near several large-scale uranium discoveries including the Two Time, Moran, Kitts, and Jacques Lake deposits. (Figure 1)

The Central Mineral Belt in Labrador also hosts Paladin Energy Limited's recently acquired Michelin deposit (Measured and Indicated resource of 82.2Mlb U3O8).* Uranium was first discovered in the Central Mineral Belt in 1951 and despite hosting numerous large-scale uranium discoveries, it remains relatively under-explored. Readers are cautioned that past results or discoveries on properties in proximity to the Project are not necessarily indicative of the presence of similar mineralization on the Project.
Silver Spruce Resources conducted significant exploration work on the Snegamook Project between 2006 and 2008 consisting of airborne radiometric and magnetic surveys, follow-up prospecting, lake sediment and soil sampling, radon gas surveys, geological mapping, trenching, and diamond drilling. The success of this exploration program resulted in a preliminary resource estimate that has been made available to Azincourt. This resource estimate was never finalized or filed and consequently is not National Instrument 43-101 compliant.
Azincourt has made every effort to acquire all available historical data existing for the Project. Geophysical survey results for 2006 and diamond drilling results for 2007 were available through the online assessment report database from the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador. The Company was also able to acquire surveying data from Silver Spruce Resources, which included the 2008 diamond drilling data which was never filed for assessment. The digital geophysical data is not available however, the drilling data appears to be approximately 90% complete. The current dataset provides a good base on which to build.
Between 2007 and 2008, Silver Spruce completed 44 diamond drill holes in the Snegamook area, of which 35, totalling 10,017.6 m, were within the current Snegamook Project area. This drilling, to follow up a radon gas anomaly, identified the Snegamook Zone uranium occurrence located 1.3 km along strike to the southeast of the Two Time Zone. 17 drill holes intersected a 20 to 50 m wide section of uranium bearing brecciated and altered monzodiorite with moderate to strong chlorite, hematite and carbonate alteration, the same geological setting as the Two Time Zone. (Figure 2)

Four mineralized lenses were traced over a strike length of 300 meters and to a vertical depth of 200 meters. The lenses are shallow dipping and vary in width from five to 53 meters with values ranging from 225 to 771 ppm U3O8. Individual one meter sample values range from 50 to 1,110 ppm U3O8, with the widest section in drill hole SN-08-8 averaging 206 ppm U3O8 over 73 meters. Mineralization and related hydrothermal alteration appear to be structurally controlled within lineaments cross-cutting the host intrusive gneissic units. The zones appear to be disrupted to the south and down dip by steeply dipping fault structures that displace the basement gneiss but remain open to the north. (Figure 3)

Two drill holes tested a radon gas anomaly 500 meters to the south of the Snegamook Zone. (Figure 2) They intersected nine meters (210 to 219 m) of 552 ppm U3O8 and five meters (191 to 196 m) of 224 ppm U3O8. Higher grade zones, 0.11% U3O8 over 3 m and 0.11% U3O8 over 2 m, were located within the highlighted zone in SN-08-18.
In 2008 a preliminary resource estimate for the Snegamook Zone was prepared by Silver Spruce Resources, however it was never finalized in a report or filed. The company does not consider this resource estimate to be current or NI43-101 compliant, although it will provide a good base to assist in building a compliant estimate as the historical data is analysed, and more drilling is completed on the deposit. (Figure 4) describes the resource block model from the unpublished and non-compliant preliminary resource estimate.
Despite a recent increase in activity and discoveries in the Central Mineral Belt, the Project area remains relatively underexplored. Azincourt is currently planning a drill program to confirm and expand the historical mineralization.
"Being able to get our hands on a uranium deposit that has not seen any attention in over 15 years is exciting," commented Vice President of Exploration Trevor Perkins. "We are starting from a good position with regards to an understanding of what we may have and are excited to see if we can establish an initial resource estimate at Snegamook. The chance to improve a deposit within an emerging uranium camp is a significant opportunity for Azincourt", continued Mr. Perkins.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 17, 2025) - Searchlight Resources Inc. (TSXV: SCLT) (OTC Pink: SCLTF) ("Searchlight" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the staking of two mineral claims in the Eastern Athabasca Basin in Northern Saskatchewan, located approximately 45 kilometres north of the Cigar Lake Uranium Mine, and 5 kilometres west of Highway 905.
During a recent Saskatchewan claim reopening, Searchlight staked claims MC00019721 and MC00019725, covering 3,902.8 hectares within the Athabasca Basin which hosts the highest-grade operating Uranium mines in the world. The claims are less than 5 km west of Highway 905, and the Northern Saskatchewan hydro electrical line to Stony Rapids runs through the claims.
The new claims are bordered on the north, west and east by Denison Mines Corp. and several historical diamond drill holes with anomalous uranium and rare earth values are located on claims to the north (Map 1). Searchlight will soon begin detailed geological evaluation of these new claims, and planning for future exploration.
"These claims align with Searchlight's exploration strategy of generating new critical element projects by staking", stated Stephen Wallace, P. Geo, President and CEO of Searchlight.
These claims are now part of the Searchlight's uranium project portfolio, which includes the Duddridge Lake Uranium Deposit with a historic 43-101 inferred resource estimate of 227,880 tonnes, and a grade of 2.14 lbs/tonne U3O8 (Fission Energy Corp, 2007). Additionally, assays of 9.8% U3O8, 1.6% Cu, 0.2% V, 0.2 oz/ton Au and 7.0 oz/ton Ag have been reported in historic boulder samples (SMDI 0700a). The Duddridge project is accessible by an all-season gravel road, Highway 910, within 10 km of the deposit, and direct access by winter road and ATV trail in summer.

Director Resignation
Bruce Fair has resigned as a director of the Company. The Company wishes Mr. Fair well in his future endeavours.
Data Source
The 43-101 technical report completed by Fission Energy Corp, titled "Report on the Duddridge Lake Uranium Property, Northern Saskatchewan, NTS 73O/9", was submitted by Stuart C. Fraser, P. Geol. on June 15, 2007.
The Duddridge Lake Uranium deposit technical report was not commissioned or completed by Searchlight and therefore is being treated as a historical resource estimate under 43-101 disclosure. The historical resource estimate used "inferred mineral resource", which is a category of NI 43-101. As a result, Searchlight considers the historical resource estimate as reliable as well as relevant as it represents a key target for work to be done by Searchlight. Searchlight has not undertaken any independent investigation of the resource estimates, nor has it independently analyzed the results of the previous exploration work in order to verify the resources, and the Company is not treating the historical estimate as a current resource.

The Groomes Lake Conductive Corridor will be targeted by the 2025 drill program and builds on Purepoint's late-2024 stepwise-moving loop and fixed loop time domain electromagnetic (EM) survey conducted by Diaz Geophysical. The survey outlined three discrete, parallel EM conductors for over 2.2 kilometers (Figure 1). The three EM conductors are approximately 100 metres apart, lie within a magnetic low response and are conformable with interpreted geologic contacts. Airborne geophysics show the conductors continue westward onto NexGen's neighbouring SW1 Project for an additional 2 kilometres.
The historic vertical hole SAM-13 failed to explain the conductor source and is now assumed to have stopped approximately 45 metres short of the intended target. Inversion of the Groomes Lake conductivity results suggest the conductors continue to depth and present an excellent opportunity for a basement hosted 'Arrow'-style discovery.
Previous drilling at Smart Lake intersected anomalous uranium within faulted and altered basement rocks, with drill hole SMT08-05 returning 147 ppm U over 15.4 metres (153.0 to 168.4 metres) from a hematite breccia and faulted sheared zone. The current drill program will test conductors in a structurally complex setting that has demonstrated the potential to host significant uranium mineralization.
Strategic Positioning in the Athabasca Basin
Purepoint continues to advance a highly prospective project portfolio in the Athabasca Basin, leveraging its strong partnerships with Cameco and other industry leaders. With uranium prices strengthening and the global supply-demand gap widening, the Company remains committed to unlocking new uranium discoveries through systematic, high-quality exploration.

Denison Reports Financial and Operational Results for 2024 Highlighted by Significant Advancement of the Phoenix Project (CNW Group/Denison Mines Corp.)
David Cates, President and CEO of Denison commented, "The Denison team was active across all aspects of our business in 2024, and owing to several important achievements during the year, we are well-positioned to execute on our objective to build and operate the next new large-scale uranium mine in northern Saskatchewan.
We significantly advanced the regulatory approvals process for our Phoenix In-Situ Recovery ('ISR') project, culminating in the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission ('CNSC') scheduling a two-part public hearing ('Hearing') for the project to occur in late 2025, which could allow for project approvals and start of construction in early 2026 and for first production to be achieved, in line with our previous guidance, by the first half of 2028.
In anticipation of this timeline, our operations team has progressed our detailed design engineering efforts for Phoenix – having achieved approximately 65% completion of total engineering by the end of 2024. With clarity on the Hearing schedule, our operations team can now finalize our construction plans with greater precision and with an objective to be ready to commence construction shortly after receiving the necessary regulatory approvals.
We also announced the signing of a Mutual Benefits Agreement with Kineepik Métis Local #9, a Community Benefit Agreement with the northern Village of Pinehouse Lake, and a Sustainable Communities Investment Agreement with multiple northern municipalities. With each of these agreements, Denison has obtained further consent and support for mine development and operations on the Wheeler River property.
Beyond Wheeler River, there were notable developments from our McClean Lake and Midwest joint ventures with Orano Canada Inc. ('Orano Canada') and our exploration project portfolio. At McClean Lake, development work progressed at the McClean North deposit in preparation for the restart of mining in 2025, which will use the joint venture's patented Surface Access Borehole Resource Extraction ('SABRE') mining method. At Midwest, an inaugural ISR field test program was completed, which validated key assumptions and advanced our evaluation of the potential use of ISR mining at Midwest. In an effort to amplify our exposure to exploration discovery, we also entered into agreements with each of Foremost Clean Energy (Nasdaq: FMST) and Cosa Resources (TSX-V: COSA) to collaborate on the exploration of several of Denison's non-core exploration properties.
Our diverse portfolio of Athabasca Basin uranium mining, development and exploration projects provides Denison with several levers to enhance our exposure to the ongoing positive evolution of the uranium market. Despite recent volatility on the spot market, where transactions are often discretionary and volumes can be sporadic, the market for long-term supply contracts continues to demonstrate strength, as evidenced by the 16% increase in UxC's long-term price indicator from US$68.00/lb U3O8 to US$79.00/lb U3O8 during 2024.
Looking ahead, we entered 2025 with a strong debt-free balance sheet that can support Denison's ambitious plans for this year and beyond. While we continue to invest in exploration and evaluation programs at our pipeline properties, we remain laser focused on readying Phoenix for a Final Investment Decision ('FID') and the commencement of construction in early 2026. Accordingly, our efforts will continue to concentrate on the completion of (i) detailed engineering design, (ii) provincial and federal licencing and permitting, (iii) pre-FID construction planning and field work, and (iv) long-lead procurement activities, including the expected purchase of over $60 million in additional equipment that is reflected in the initial capital purchases estimated in our 2023 Phoenix Feasibility Study ('Phoenix FS')"
Highlights
Significant Progress Achieved in the Regulatory Approvals Process for the Phoenix ISR Project
Multiple key regulatory milestones were achieved in late 2024, including (i) completion of the technical review phase of the federal EA approval process in November, (ii) acceptance by the CNSC of the Company's final Environmental Impact Statement ('EIS') for the Project in December, and (iii) the CNSC's determination of the sufficiency of Denison's Licence to Prepare and Construct a Uranium Mine and Mill ('Licence') application, also in November.
These accomplishments indicate that the CSNC staff support the advancement of the Project. Accordingly, the CNSC Registrar has set the schedule for the Hearing for the Wheeler River Uranium Project ('Wheeler River'). The Hearing is scheduled to be held in two parts (October 8, 2025, and December 8 to 12, 2025) and represents the final step in the federal approval process for the Project's Environmental Assessment ('EA') and Licence.
Additionally, in October 2024, Denison submitted a final EIS to the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment ('MOE'), in substantially the same form as the EIS that has been submitted to the CNSC. The province completed a public and Indigenous review period on the EIS in November and December 2024, of which the comments received will be considered in the issuance of a Ministerial Decision for the EA.
Achieved Approximately 65% Completion of Total Engineering for Phoenix
In January 2024, Denison awarded a contract for approximately $16 million to Wood Canada Limited ('Wood'), for the completion of detailed design engineering for the Phoenix ISR project. The contracted scope of the facilities to be designed by Wood is extensive. The work commenced in the first quarter of 2024 and is expected to be substantially completed in the third quarter of 2025. Throughout 2024, the Company continued to focus its efforts on the advancement of Phoenix towards a FID, in support of its objective to achieve first production by the first half of 2028, including the advancement of Phoenix detailed design engineering activities to support an FID.
Total engineering completion at end of 2024 was approximately 65%, supported by finalization of process design, piping and instrumentation diagrams ('P&ID's'), hazard and operability studies ('HAZOPs'), as well as the selection of major process equipment and electrical distribution infrastructure.
Signing of Wheeler River Benefit Agreements with Kineepik Métis Local #9 and the Village of Pinehouse Lake
In early July 2024, Denison announced the signing of a Mutual Benefits Agreement ('MBA') with Kineepik Métis Local #9 ('KML'), and a Community Benefit Agreement ('CBA') with the northern Village of Pinehouse Lake ('Pinehouse'), in support of the development and operation of Wheeler River.
The MBA acknowledges that Wheeler River is located within KML's Land and Occupancy Area in northern Saskatchewan and provides KML's consent and support to advance the project. Additionally, the MBA recognizes that the development and operation of Wheeler River can support KML in advancing its social and economic development aspirations, while mitigating the impacts on the local environment and KML members. The MBA provides KML and its Métis members an important role in environmental monitoring and commits to the sharing of benefits from the successful operation of Wheeler River – including benefits from community investment, business opportunities, employment and training opportunities, and financial compensation.
The CBA acknowledges that Pinehouse is the closest residential community to Wheeler River by road and relies on much of the same regional infrastructure that Denison will rely on as it advances the project. Pinehouse has provided its consent and support for Wheeler River, while Denison, on behalf of the Wheeler River Joint Venture ('WRJV'), is committed to help Pinehouse develop its own capacity to take advantage of economic and other development opportunities in connection with the advancement and operation of the project.
Signing of Sustainable Communities Investment Agreement
In March 2024, Denison signed a Sustainable Communities Investment Agreement with the municipalities of the Northern Village of Beauval, the Northern Village of Île-à-la Crosse, the Northern Hamlet of Jans Bay, and the Northern Hamlet of Cole Bay (the 'Communities').
The agreement with the Communities establishes commitments of Denison in support of community development initiatives, with consideration towards contributing to the current and future economic prosperity and sustainability of the Communities by promoting economic development and investments in capital projects, job creation and training, housing, education, and other initiatives.
As part of the agreement, the Communities have provided their consent and support for Wheeler River and have committed, amongst other things, to support all regulatory approvals issued for the project related to exploration, evaluation, development, operation, reclamation, and closure activities.
Announcement of Planned Restart of McClean Lake Mining Operations
In January 2024, Orano Canada and Denison announced the planned restart of uranium mining operations on the McClean Lake property. Mining is expected to be carried out using the McClean Lake Joint Venture's ('MLJV') patented SABRE mining method and is planned to commence at the McClean North deposit in 2025. Activities during 2024, included the completion of the Pod 1 East SABRE pad, drilling four access holes at Pod 1 East, and associated procurement activities. A further four access holes are planned to be completed in the second quarter of 2025.
Completion of Inaugural ISR Field Test Program at Midwest
In June 2024, Denison announced the completion of an ISR field test program at the Company's 25.17% owned Midwest Uranium Project ('Midwest'). The program involved drilling ten small diameter boreholes within the Midwest Main deposit primarily undertaken to evaluate site-specific conditions for ISR mining. A series of tests were successfully performed on each borehole, creating an extensive database of geological, hydrogeological, geotechnical, and metallurgical data and validating certain key assumptions in the previously completed internal conceptual mining study (the 'Concept Study') evaluating the potential use of ISR mining at Midwest (see Press Release dated April 12, 2023).
Denison carried out the Program in collaboration with Orano Canada, as operator and owner of 74.83% of the Midwest Joint Venture ('MWJV'). Highlights from the program include:
Confirmation of Hydraulic Conductivity: Pump and injection tests validated hydraulic connectivity in the test wells within the mineralized zone and achieved hydraulic conductivity values (a measure of permeability) consistent with the Concept Study. Sufficient permeability within the mineralized zone is a key criterion for the successful deployment of the ISR mining method.
Demonstrated the Effectiveness of Permeability Enhancement: One method of permeability enhancement was successfully deployed within two wells, demonstrating the suitability of the method to the Midwest Main deposit. The efficiency of permeability enhancement was verified by comparison of pre- and post-permeability enhancement hydraulic testing.
Metallurgical Samples Defined and Collected for Leaching Characteristics: Core samples representative of the Midwest Main deposit were collected during the program for use in future metallurgical tests to assess leaching characteristics.
Acquisition of MaxPERF Tool Systems
In February 2024, the Company announced an acquisition of fixed and mobile MaxPERF Tool Systems from Penetrators Canada Inc. ('Penetrators'). The MaxPERF Tool Systems have been successfully deployed several times as a method of permeability enhancement in ISR field studies conducted on the Company's potential ISR mining projects, including at Phoenix. Penetrators has also agreed to work exclusively with Denison for a 10-year period with respect to the use of the MaxPERF Tool Systems for uranium mining applications, and related services, in Saskatchewan.
Option of Non-Core Exploration Projects to Foremost Clean Energy Ltd.
In September 2024, Denison executed an option agreement with Foremost Clean Energy Ltd ('Foremost'), which grants Foremost a multi-phase option to acquire up to 70% of Denison's interest in 10 non-core uranium exploration properties (collectively, the 'Foremost Transaction'). Pursuant to the Foremost Transaction, Foremost would acquire such total interests upon completion of a combination of direct payments to Denison and funding of exploration expenditures with an aggregate value of up to approximately $30 million. In October 2024, Denison received an upfront payment in Foremost common shares. At December 31, 2024, Denison has a ~19.13% ownership interest in Foremost. If Foremost completes the remaining two phases of the Foremost Transaction Denison will receive further cash and/or common share milestone payments of $4.5 million and Foremost will fund $20 million in project exploration expenditures.
Formation of Exploration Joint Ventures with Cosa Resources Corp.
In November 2024, Denison executed an acquisition agreement with Cosa Resources Corp. ('Cosa') for Cosa to acquire a 70% interest in three of Denison's properties in the eastern portion of the Athabasca Basin region in northern Saskatchewan in exchange for approximately 14.2 million Cosa common shares, $2.25M in deferred equity consideration, and a commitment to spend $6.5 million in exploration expenditures on the properties. The transaction closed in early January 2025, pursuant to which Denison became Cosa's largest shareholder (representing ~19.95% ownership interest in Cosa) and Denison and Cosa formed three uranium exploration joint ventures.
Appointment of New Board Chair
In May 2024, following the results of the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders ('AGM') held in Toronto, Denison announced the appointment of Ms. Jennifer Traub as the Company's new Board Chair. The former Board Chair, Mr. Ron Hochstein, did not stand for re-election at the AGM. Ms. Traub, who joined the Denison Board in 2021, is a partner in the Securities Group, and Co-Chair of the Mining Group, at Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP, and has been recognized as a legal leader in the Canadian resource sector.

Canalaska/Nexus Uranium Provides Interim Drill Results from Cree East Project
https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/244399/Nexus-Uranium-Provides-Interim-Drill-Results-from-Cree-East-Project
March 13, 2025 8:00 AM EDT | Source: Nexus Uranium Corp.
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 13, 2025) - Nexus Uranium Corp. (CSE: NEXU) (OTCQB: GIDMF) (FSE: 3H1) ("Nexus" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on its ongoing drilling program at the Cree East Project in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan (see Figure 1). Three drill holes, totaling 1,521 metres, have been completed in Area B as part of follow-up exploration targeting uranium mineralization.
Early results are highly encouraging, with one of the three holes returning elevated radiometric readings and all encountering significant structural disruption, hydrothermal alteration, and key geological features commonly associated with unconformity-related uranium deposits in the region. Notably, drill hole CRE-094 exhibited strong alteration patterns and elevated scintillometer counts associated with structural intervals throughout the graphitic pelite zone, reinforcing the potential for uranium mineralization.
Key Technical Highlights:
Drill hole CRE-094 (587m total depth) intersected the unconformity at 451m, with extensive hydrothermal alteration consisting of strong bleaching, limonite, clay, and sooty pyrite alteration in the lower sandstone column. The graphitic pelite zone showed multiple faulted and brecciated intervals associated with bleaching and chlorite alteration and with radiometric peaks up to 300 counts per second (cps) along re-activated structures.
Drill hole CRE-093 (581m total depth) intersected the unconformity at 438m, with moderate alteration. Structural analysis confirmed graphitic-pyritic fault zones with cataclastic deformation.
Drill hole CRE-092 was halted before reaching the target depth due to technical challenges. The lower sandstone column of CRE-092 was bleached with localized sooty pyrite alteration.
The drill program has successfully confirmed the presence of the targeted electromagnetic (EM) conductor, along with substantial structural deformation and elevated radioactivity (see Figure 2). These indicators suggest a favorable setting for uranium mineralization, warranting further step-out drilling. In comparison with other unconformity-hosted uranium deposits in the Athabasca Basin, drilling has observed similar alteration types, such as clay, limonite, and sooty pyrite in the sandstone. In the basement (below the unconformity), bleached and chlorite altered structurally-reactivated graphitic pelites have been observed which is also characteristic of the basement below these types of deposits.
We are extremely encouraged by the initial drill results at Cree East" commented Jeremy Poirier, CEO of Nexus Uranium. "The presence of strong alteration, fault structures, and elevated radiometric counts aligns with the geological framework necessary for uranium mineralization. These findings validate our exploration model and reinforce the potential of this underexplored region. With drilling ongoing, we are eager to continue refining our targets and advancing this exciting discovery."
Next Steps:
Drilling remains active at Area B, with a focus on testing additional zones up-dip from CRE-094 and along strike of the EM conductor. Exploration will continue as long as weather conditions allow, and further updates will be provided as results are received and analyzed.

Drillhole Details:
CRE-093: Drill hole CRE-093 was oriented at an azimuth of 325° and a dip of -80° was drilled for 581 meters, with the hole intersecting the unconformity at 438 metres downhole. The overlying Athabasca sandstones was strongly bleached and showed discrete zones containing sooty and pervasive pyrite. The graphitic pelite was intersected from 469.8 to 490.0 meters, about 30 meters down hole of the unconformity. The graphitic pelite displayed a cohesive cataclastic fault zone with subrounded feldspatic clasts suspended in a dark black matrix with quartz veining throughout. Moderately graphitic throughout, intervals contain bands of structurally concentrated graphite up to 1 mm thick and a wavy shear fabric. Chloritic alteration was weak to moderate from 17 meters below the unconformity to the end of the hole coincident with the chloritic alteration the final 50 meters of the hole the core was bleached with intervals of quartz flooding through brecciated zones containing pyrite and potassium feldspar.
CRE-094: Drill hole CRE094 was collared 200 metres southwest of hole CRE-093 and oriented at 300° at a dip of -70 and drilled for 587 meters, with the hole intersecting the unconformity at 451 metres. The overlying Athabasca sandstones displayed moderately to strongly bleached sections coincidental with moderate to strong sooty pyrite occurring from 256 to 448 meters. Graphitic pelite was intersected from 484.9 to 526 meters, 34 meters down hole of the unconformity. This zone was described as a dark fine grained graphitic pelite moderately chloritized with three zones hosting centimeter to decimeter brecciated to cataclastic faulting with abundant pyrite occurring as interstitial nodules and in veins throughout the fault structures and the pelite. Several of the brecciated intervals are radiometrically elevated with a peak of 300 cps at 505.1m associated with chlorite carbonate pyrite cohesive breccia. Chlorite alteration was moderate to strong from 449 meters to the end of the hole, dravite was observed in a fault breccia 5 meters below the graphitic pelite.

Geochemical Assay Sampling and Scintillometer Readings
All drill core samples from the program will be shipped to the Saskatchewan Research Council Geoanalytical Laboratories (SRC) in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan in secure containment for preparation, processing, and multi-element analysis by ICP-MS and ICP-OES using total (HF:NHO3:HClO4) and partial digestion (HNO3:HCl), boron by fusion, and U3O8 wt% assay by ICP-OES using higher grade standards. Sample intervals are chosen based on downhole probing logs and scintillometer (CT007-M) peaks. Assay sample intervals comprise 0.25 - 0.8 metre continuous half-core split samples over the mineralized intervals. With all assay samples, one half of the split sample is retained and the other sent to the SRC for analysis. The SRC is an ISO/IEC 17025/2005 and Standards Council of Canada certified analytical laboratory. Blanks, standard reference materials, and repeats are inserted into the sample stream at regular intervals by field staff and the SRC in accordance with quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) procedures. Geochemical assay data are subject to verification procedures by qualified persons employed by Nexus prior to disclosure.
All reported depths and intervals are drill hole depths and intervals, unless otherwise noted, and do not represent true thicknesses, which have yet to be determined. The reader is cautioned that handheld scintillometer count per second (cps) readings are not directly or uniformly related to uranium grades of the rock sample measured and should be used only as a preliminary indication of the presence of radioactive materials. During active exploration programs drillholes are radiometrically logged using calibrated downhole GeoVista NGRS and TGGS (Triple GM) gamma probes which collect continuous readings along the length of the drillhole.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 13, 2025) - Standard Uranium Ltd. (TSXV: STND) (OTCQB: STTDF) (FSE: 9SU) ("Standard Uranium" or the "Company") is pleased to provide a summary of geophysical programs on three of its 100% owned Eastern Athabasca Basin uranium projects as part of its targeted exploration strategies to continue advancing its uranium portfolio in the Athabasca Basin region towards discovery.
The Company has received positive results from two high-resolution ground gravity surveys on the Atlantic and Rocas projects and an airborne time domain electromagnetic ("TDEM") survey on the Corvo project. High-priority exploration targets are being refined for each project based on prospective survey results and historical exploration data. Standard Uranium has continued delivering on its project generator model through expansion of landholdings and advancement of early-stage projects through geophysical surveys executed this winter, providing excellent turn-key opportunities for potential partners.
Highlights
Integrative Exploration Strategy: The geophysical surveys provide new data layers to characterize lithological variations and identify potential alteration signatures, in addition to further refining the structural architecture and known basement conductors related to uranium mineralization on the projects.
New Uranium Targets: The ground gravity grids completed on the early-stage Rocas and Atlantic projects and airborne TDEM survey covering the Corvo project have provided key geological information outlining high-priority exploration targets for high-grade* uranium.
Third-Party Data Analysis: Third-party processing of Atlantic and Rocas gravity data via Convolutions Geoscience aids in pinpointing high-priority drill targets comprising potential alteration signatures corresponding to complex structural trends.
Expanded Landholdings: The Company added nearly 45,000 acres of prospective land to its portfolio in 2024 through project expansion and staking, increasing exposure to the eastern Athabasca uranium district, providing additional joint venture and land deal opportunities.
"The discovery potential on our Eastern Athabasca projects continues to expand through meaningful exploration, and the results of the recent geophysical programs have bolstered our targeting strategy in this exciting district," said Sean Hillacre, President & VP Exploration for the Company. "With these newly acquired layers of geoscience in our targeting toolbox, our technical team and I are eager to get these projects optioned and begin testing multiple exciting new target areas."

Standard Uranium holds more than 233,000 acres of prime exploration real estate across the prolific Athabasca Basin region, which hosts the highest-grade uranium deposits on the planet. The Company boasts an attractive portfolio of uranium exploration projects which are available for joint venturing, ranging from early-stage to drill-ready projects throughout the Athabasca region. Importantly, these are "turn-key opportunities" with permits in hand, First Nations agreements signed, vendors secured, and with highly prospective uranium targets. The Company is actively seeking new joint venture partners on these projects.
Rocas & Atlantic Projects - Ground Gravity Survey
MWH Geo-Surveys (Canada) Ltd. completed high-resolution ground gravity surveys along known conductive exploration trends on the Rocas project and spanning the central claims of the Atlantic project. The surveys are designed to aid in the identification of potential zones of hydrothermal alteration of host rocks associated with uranium mineralization events.
The gravity surveys across the conductive structural corridors will improve definition of drill targets for future exploration programs. Convolutions Geoscience have completed detailed inversion and 3D modeling, which will provide additional vectoring layers for future drill programs. Value-added products include 3D density inversions, depth slices, modeling interpretation, and expert recommendations.
Four new drill target zones have been identified on the Rocas project, outlined via the confluence of low gravity anomalies, historical surface mineralization, lakebed geochemical anomalies, EM conductors, and crosscutting fault zones.
Corvo Project - TDEM Survey
Axiom Exploration Group Ltd. in partnership with New Resolution Geophysics carried out a helicopter-borne Xcite time domain electromagnetic and total field magnetic survey over the Corvo project. The survey totalled approximately 1,380 line-kms with a traverse line spacing of 100 m and tie-line spacing of 1,000 m. The Xcite is an advanced TDEM system capable of mapping subtle conductive units through a variety of geologic environments.
The airborne TDEM survey outlines several kilometers of conductive anomalies and magnetic features in bedrock, effectively enhancing the resolution of the conductive trends on the project. The magnetic survey contributes to definition of potential fault systems and structural trends not previously identified across the project related to historical uranium showings at surface and in historical drill holes.
*The Company considers uranium mineralization with concentrations greater than 1.0 wt% U3O8 to be "high-grade".
**The Company considers radioactivity readings greater than 300 counts per second (cps) to be "anomalous".

About Standard Uranium (TSXV: STND)
We find the fuel to power a clean energy future
Standard Uranium is a uranium exploration company and emerging project generator poised for discovery in the world's richest uranium district. The Company holds interest in over 233,455 acres (94,476 hectares) in the world-class Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan, Canada. Since its establishment, Standard Uranium has focused on the identification, acquisition, and exploration of Athabasca-style uranium targets with a view to discovery and future development.
Standard Uranium's Davidson River Project, in the southwest part of the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, comprises ten mineral claims over 30,737 hectares. Davidson River is highly prospective for basement-hosted uranium deposits due to its location along trend from recent high-grade uranium discoveries. However, owing to the large project size with multiple targets, it remains broadly under-tested by drilling. Recent intersections of wide, structurally deformed and strongly altered shear zones provide significant confidence in the exploration model and future success is expected.
Standard Uranium's eastern Athabasca projects comprise over 42,384 hectares of prospective land holdings. The eastern basin projects are highly prospective for unconformity related and/or basement hosted uranium deposits based on historical uranium occurrences, recently identified geophysical anomalies, and location along trend from several high-grade uranium discoveries.
Standard Uranium's Sun Dog project, in the northwest part of the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, is comprised of nine mineral claims over 19,603 hectares. The Sun Dog project is highly prospective for basement and unconformity hosted uranium deposits yet remains largely untested by sufficient drilling despite its location proximal to uranium discoveries in the area.
