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.
Qualified Persons
The technical contents of this news release have been reviewed and approved by Mr. Ariel Testi, CPG, who works for the Company and is a Qualified Person as defined in National Instrument 43-101.

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.

March 21, 2025 17:34 ET | Source: Mustang Energy Corp.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mustang Energy Corp. (CSE: MEC, OTC:MECPF, FRA:92T) (the “Company” or “Mustang”) is pleased to announce that it has engaged Axiom Exploration Group (“Axiom”) to conduct an Aerial Electromagnetic Survey (Xcite™ TDEM) with Radiometrics over its Spur Project located south of the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan (the “Spur Project”).
The Company anticipates that the Xcite™ TDEM survey with Radiometrics will commence in early May 2025 and encompass the portion of the claim package which has not been covered by modern day electromagnetic (EM) survey techniques. The airborne survey aims to precisely locate EM and radiometric anomalies, and aid in geological interpretations on the property advancing exploration targeting.
In addition, Mustang has applied for exploration permits on the Spur Project and the Company’s 914W Project. The permit applications include ground based mineral exploration activities such as trail construction, line-cutting, ground geophysical surveys, and diamond drilling. Subject to obtaining the required permits and approvals, Mustang plans to initiate exploration activities aimed at further assessing the viability of these projects, as well as to continue consultation with local communities.
About Xcite™ TDEM
Xcite™ is a new generation of helicopter-borne time-domain electromagnetic (TDEM) systems developed by New Resolution Geophysics (NRG™). Axiom is an exclusive provider of this service in North America. This state-of-the-art technology provides an efficient alternative to prior TDEM technologies for mineral exploration. The system utilizes a patented inflatable transmitter loop with a diameter of approximately 20 meters, suspended about 30 meters below the helicopter. The Xcite™ system offers improved signal clarity, enabling the detection of subtle subsurface features. It features a programmable waveform with a fast turn-off time, allowing for flexibility in data acquisition and improved resolution of both shallow and deep targets.

https://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/11699211-1f81-4e70-bf12-4f39172160e4
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.

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

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

AERO ENERGY AND FORTUNE BAY COMMENCE DRILLING AT HOWLAND LAKE, MURMAC URANIUM PROJECT
https://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/aero-energy-and-fortune-bay-commence-drilling-at-howland-lake-murmac-uranium-project-833948721.html
News provided by Fortune Bay Corp. Mar 19, 2025, 07:00 ET
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."

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.

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - March 17, 2025) - Purepoint Uranium Group Inc. (TSXV: PTU) (OTCQB: PTUUF) ("Purepoint" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the commencement of a first-pass drill program along the high-priority Groomes Lake Conductive Corridor at the Smart Lake Joint Venture (JV) project in Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin. The program will include four drill holes, totalling approximately 1,400 metres, to test the conductive belt of rocks refined by the 2024 ground electromagnetic (EM) survey.
The Smart Lake Project is a joint venture between Cameco Corporation (73%) and Purepoint (27%) and is located approximately 60 km south of the former Cluff Lake uranium mine and 18 km west-northwest of Purepoint's Hook Lake JV project.
"We are excited to launch this next phase of exploration at Smart Lake," said Chris Frostad, President & CEO of Purepoint Uranium. "While Smart Lake has seen previous drilling, this is the first time we are targeting our high-priority Groomes Lake conductors that were refined by the recent ground EM survey. Given the project's geological similarities to other major uranium deposits in the Athabasca Basin, we believe this program has the potential to advance Smart Lake's exploration story significantly."
Highlights
Targeting recently refined high priority Groomes Lake Conductive Corridor (Figure 1)
4 diamond drill holes planned, totaling 1,400 metres
Strong exploration partnership with Cameco enhances project development
Building on historical drilling success that confirmed basement-hosted uranium mineralization
Advancing a High-Potential Uranium Target
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
https://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/denison-reports-financial-and-operational-results-for-2024-highlighted-by-significant-advancement-of-the-phoenix-project-865337590.html
News provided by Denison Mines Corp. Mar 13, 2025, 20:58 ET
TORONTO, March 13, 2025 /CNW/ - Denison Mines Corp. ('Denison' or the 'Company') (TSX: DML) (NYSE American: DNN) today filed its Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Management's Discussion & Analysis ('MD&A') for the year ended December 31, 2024. Both documents will be available on the Company's website (at www.denisonmines.com), SEDAR+ (at www.sedarplus.ca) and EDGAR (at www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml). The highlights provided below are derived from these documents and should be read in conjunction with them. All amounts in this release are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated.

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.

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".

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / March 12, 2025 / Pegasus Resources Inc. (TSXV:PEGA)(Frankfurt:0QS0)(OTC PINK:SLTFF) (the "Company" or "Pegasus") is pleased to announce that it has closed its non-brokered private placement offering (the "Offering") announced February 27, 2025, raising gross proceeds of $340,354.02. A total of 5,672,567 units of the Company (the "Units", and each a "Unit") were issued at a price of C$0.06 per Unit.
Each Unit consists of one common share (each, a "Common Share", and collectively the "Common Shares") and one full common share purchase warrant (each warrant, a "Warrant" and collectively the "Warrants"). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share at a price of C$0.12 per Common Share for a period of two years from the closing date of the Offering.
"We appreciate the continued confidence and support from our investors and insiders, which enables us to advance our uranium projects and take critical steps toward resource development and long-term value creation. With this financing closed, Pegasus will secure 75% ownership in the Utah uranium project Jupiter, positioning us for further expansion. Executing our maiden drill program will allow us to secure 100% ownership, further strengthening our asset base," stated Christian Timmins, CEO of Pegasus Resources. "With strong market fundamentals in the uranium sector, we remain committed to unlocking the full potential of our Energy Sands and Jupiter projects in Utah."
All securities issued in connection with the Offering are subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus one day from the date of issuance, in accordance with applicable securities laws.
Finders' fees of $15,076 in cash and 251,272 finders' warrants (each a "Finders Warrant") were issued to eligible parties. Each Finders Warrant is non-transferable and exercisable for one Common Share at C$0.06 per share for a period of two years. Finders Warrants are subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus one day from the issuance date, in accordance with Canadian securities laws.
The net proceeds from the Offering will be used to complete the final payment on the Jupiter Uranium Property, securing Pegasus a 75% ownership interest. This strategic acquisition strengthens the Company's position in the uranium sector by expanding its resource base and increasing its control over a key asset in a highly prospective region. Additionally, funds will be allocated for general working capital and corporate purposes.
The Offering constitutes a "related party transaction" within the meaning of TSXV Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101") because Insiders of the Company, including Christian Timmins, Noah Komavli, and Derrick Stickland, participated in the Offering. Additionally, the Offering included one Pro-group participant. The Company has relied on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 under sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a), as the fair market value of Insider participation is below 25% of the Company's market capitalization.
This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to sell any securities in the United States. The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), or any state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, any U.S. person unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available.

If a party (the Delinquent Member) has not contributed all or any portion of any additional capital contribution that such party is or was required to contribute (the Default Amount), then the other party (the Non-Defaulting Member) may elect to exercise its rights after the occurrence of the default.
If the Non-Defaulting Member elects to proceed as follows, the payment by the Non-Defaulting Member of the Default Amount shall be treated as a capital contribution by the Non-Defaulting Member to the JVCo on behalf of the Delinquent Member. In such case, the Interest of the Delinquent Member shall be reduced by an amount (expressed as a percentage) equal to: (i) the Default Dilution Multiple; multiplied by the Default Amount; divided by (ii) the aggregate Contributed Capital of all parties (determined after taking into account the contribution of the Default Amount).

Default Dilution Multiple means: (a) during the period prior to an affirmative vote of the Management Committee to undertake mining on any portion of the JVCo's properties (Affirmative Mining Decision), 1.5, and (b) during the period from and after an Affirmative Mining Decision, 2.0.
Dilution due to non-contribution
If a party (the Non-Contributing Member) delivers a notice to the Management Committee (Non-Contribution Notice), within twenty (20) days after the final vote adopting a Program and Budget, the Interest of each party shall be adjusted, effective as of the beginning of the period covered by the Program and Budget, to equal a fraction, expressed as a percentage:
(a) the numerator of which equals:
(i) the contributed capital of the party as of the beginning of the period covered by the Program and Budget; plus
(ii) the amount, if any, that the party has agreed to contribute to the Program and Budget; plus
(iii) if the party is the member which has or is deemed to have elected to contribute its proportionate amount to the Program and Budget in accordance with its Interest (Contributing Member), the amount of the Excess Contribution (being all or any portion of the underfunded amount by the Non-Contributing Member), if any, that the Contributing Member has agreed to contribute to the Program and Budget with respect to the Underfunded Amount, multiplied by the Non-Contribution Dilution Multiple; and

Global Uranium Commences Geophysical Survey at the Northwest Athabasca Joint Venture Project, Saskatchewan Geophysical
Surveys Underway to Refine Drill Targets at Northwest Athabasca Project

CALGARY, Alberta, March 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Global Uranium Corp. (CSE: GURN | OTC: GURFF | FRA: Q3J) (the “Company”) is pleased to announce that geophysical surveying has commenced at the Northwest Athabasca (“NWA”) Project, a joint venture with the operator Forum Energy Corp. (the “Operator”), located in northern Saskatchewan. These surveys, which include Time Domain Electromagnetic (TDEM) and Direct Current Resistivity and Induced Polarization (DCIP), are focused on the Spring Bay target and are designed to refine drill targeting ahead of the winter drilling campaign.
The start of the geophysical program, first announced in February (see News Release on February 11, 2025), was marked by the arrival of field crews late last week. The TDEM and DCIP surveys are expected to span approximately three weeks and will provide the Operator with additional data on subsurface structures and alteration zones. These results are anticipated to directly inform certain drill collar placements in the upcoming drill program. Spring Bay is one of multiple targets to be tested on the NWA Project during this exploration program, marked by a 4-kilometer-long gravity low anomaly coincident with historical uranium intercepts and extensive clay alteration. The TDEM survey will help define conductor strength and orientation, while the DCIP survey will map resistivity and chargeability anomalies associated with alteration.
The exploration camp, which was established to support the winter program, is nearly complete, with key operational facilities—including sleeping quarters, kitchen, and drying rooms—fully functional. The core shack, the final component, is expected to be completed in the coming days. The camp is now hosting geophysical field crews and will soon accommodate drill teams. With geophysical work underway, drill mobilization has also begun. The drill rig is expected to arrive at the project site this week, with the first hole anticipated to be collared shortly thereafter. Snowpack reinforcement efforts have been completed along key access routes to facilitate safe transport of the drill rig.
“The commencement of the geophysical surveys marks an important step in our winter exploration campaign at the Northwest Athabasca Project,” said Ungad Chadda, CEO of Global Uranium. “The data from these surveys will provide more insight into Spring Bay and improve drill target selection. With camp construction nearing completion and drill mobilization underway, we are well-positioned to execute this exploration program.”
Global Uranium will continue to provide further updates on drill mobilization, geophysical survey progress, and the commencement of drilling activities.

Patterson Metals Announces Acquisition of Pendleton Lake Exploration
https://thenewswire.com/press-releases/1A8vFv0gG-patterson-metals-announces-acquisition-of-pendleton-lake-exploration-corp.html
Vancouver, Canada – TheNewswire - March 11th, 2025 – Patterson Metals Corp. (the “Company”) (TSXV: PAT, FWB: 33H2) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement, dated March 10, 2025, to acquire (the “Acquisition”) all of the issued and outstanding shares of Pendleton Lake Exploration Corp. (“Pendleton Lake”), a privately-held company which holds the rights to acquire the Pendleton Lake Uranium project, located in the prolific Athabasca Basin.
The Pendleton Lake Uranium project covers an area of approximately 415 hectares on the southeastern lip of the Athabasca Basin. Since the early seventies, the project has been subject to multiple exploration programs, including airborne geophysical and prospecting programs. The principal exploration targets at Pendleton Lake are two radioactive boulder trains. In 1972, Canadian Occidental Petroleum Ltd. discovered several radioactive boulders 200m east of Pendleton Lake. The highest samples taken graded 7.17% U3O8 and 5.97% U3O8. In 1980, Marine Oil Corporation examined a radioactive boulder train which extended for several kilometers on the eastern shore of Pendleton Lake. Multiple radioactive samples were taken, with the highest sample grading 1.01% U3O8 and containing anomalous values for vanadium, barium, and lead (Jean Descarraux Ph. D. 1980).
Under the terms of the Acquisition, the Company will acquire all the shares of Pendleton Lake in exchange for the issuance of 500,000 common shares to the existing shareholder of Pendleton Lake (the “Vendor”). Pendleton Lake holds the right to acquire the Pendleton Lake Uranium project, subject to a one-percent royalty on net smelter returns, by completing a series of exploration expenditures totaling $500,000. The expenditures must be incurred within five years, with at least $100,000 of the expenditures incurred in the first two years.
The Company is at arm's length from the Vendor and Pendleton Lake. No finders' fees or commissions are payable by the Company in connection with the Acquisition. Completion of the Acquisition remains subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and the satisfaction of customary closing deliveries.
“We are excited to move forward with the acquisition of Pendleton Lake as we continue to build a world-class portfolio of exploration-stage uranium projects,” said Simon Cheng, President of the Company. “The Pendleton Lake Uranium project, with its historical high-grade samples and strategic location in the Athabasca Basin, represents a significant opportunity for our company and our shareholders as we advance our exploration efforts in this globally renowned uranium district.”

TORONTO, March 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Critical One Energy Inc. (formerly Madison Metals Inc.) (“Critical One” or the “Company”) (CSE: CRTL) (OTCQB: MMTLF) (FSE: 4EF0) is announcing the expiration of its previously announced deal with Star Minerals Limited (“Star Minerals”) (ASX: SMS) to earn into Exclusive Prospecting Licence 8531 (the “Cobra Uranium Project”) at Madison North near the world-renowned Rossing Uranium Mine in the Erongo Uranium Province, Namibia.
Under the terms of the agreement announced on September 19, 2024, Star Minerals had the opportunity to earn up to a 51% interest in the Cobra Uranium Project through staged cash payments, the issuance of common shares to the Company, and expenditures on the Cobra Uranium Project.

https://thenewswire.com/press-releases/1AG9F2epy-terra-clean-energy-corp-completes-first-three-drill-holes-on-fraser-lakes-uranium-deposit-with-encouraging-initial-results.html
Vancouver B.C. – TheNewswire - March 10, 2025 – TERRA CLEAN ENERGY CORP. (“Terra” or the “Company”) (CSE: TCEC, OTCQB: TCEFF, FSE: 9O0), is pleased to announce the completion of the first three drill holes at the South Falcon East Uranium Project (the “Property”) which hosts the Fraser Lakes B Uranium Deposit. Drilling will continue throughout March and is expected to complete over 2000 meters (m) of drilling.
The South Falcon East Project lies 18 km outside the edge of the Athabasca Basin, approximately 50 km east of the Key Lake uranium mill and former mine (Figure 1). The Company entered into an option agreement with Skyharbour Resources Ltd. (“Skyharbour”) in October of 2022 whereby the company can earn up to a 75% interest in the Property.
The Company is currently conducting a 2000-2200 m helicopter supported drill program at the Property. Three diamond drill holes have been completed on the Fraser Lakes B Uranium Deposit, for a total of 802 m. A fourth hole in progress. (Figure 3)
“We are extremely encouraged by the results of the first three drill holes as we continue to see minerlization in each of the first three holes as well as what we believe to be an expansion of the deposit to the North. As stated below, Hole SF063 returned a continuous mineralized zone of pegmatities from 173 meters to 224 meters with some decent grades.” Based on the initial results from Hole SF063 we have decided to reorganize the remaining meters of this program to focus on further defining this new area of interest and chasing clay alteration not yet seen on the property to date, with hopes of finding a high grade unconformity uranium deposit.” said Greg Cameron CEO of the Company.
Hole SF063 was planned to examine an interpreted cross fault offsetting the mineralization and geology on the east end of the Fraser Lakes B Uranium Deposit. This hole was drilled to a depth of 393 meters and intersected multiple structures and a 51 m wide interval of mineralized granitic pegmatites and zones within altered and graphitic pelitic gneiss. Highlights include:
0.03% eU over 12.0 m from 173.55 to 185.55 m,
including 0.06% eU3O8 over 0.7 m from 180.35 to 181.05 m
0.03% eU over 3.0 m from 213.65 to 216.65 m,
including 0.07% eU3O8 over 0.5 m from 215.95 to 216.45 m
The first structure intersected from 18 m to 47.5m contained zones of intense clay alteration typically found in relation to unconformity uranium deposits. The presence of this alteration is a good indication that hydrothermal fluids suitable for deposition of higher-grade uranium deposits moved through the rocks. The second structure from 306 to 315 m is a brecciated pelitic gneiss situated between two intervals of Archean gneiss. This structure is interpreted to be responsible for the geological offset being targeted. This will assist in updating the target model in this area. The intersections of a clay altered structure and a thick sequence of mineralized pegmatites and pelitic gneiss have expanded the mineralization and improved the prospectivity on the east end of the Fraser Lakes B Uranium Deposit.
”The results from the drilling so far are very encouraging,” commented Trevor Perkins, Vice President of Exploration for Terra Clean Energy Corp. “The first two holes have shown that the deposit is still open down dip to the north and northwest. Hole SF0063 has shown that there is significant potential for upgrading the deposit on the east end. We are excited to see where this can lead”, continued Mr. Perkins.
Drilling is continuing with one hole in progress in the T-Bone lake area to examine the conductive package and alteration intersected in the area in historical drilling. Pad preparation is underway to return to the area around SF0063 and follow up on the clay alteration and pegmatites. Efforts will be made to follow the alteration and pegmatites to where they intersect, as this should be an area of fluid pooling and upgrading of mineralization within the deposit.
Hole SF061 was planned to test for a down dip extension of mineralization intersected in hole FP-15-05 and was drilled to a depth of 209 m. Drilling intersected a 35 m interval containing multiple mineralized granitic pegmatites and zones within altered and graphitic pelitic gneiss. The most notable zone returned an equivalent grade of 0.02% eU3O8 over 2.2 m from 150.25 to 152.45 m, including 0.05% eU3O8 over 0.6 m from 151.65 to 152.25 m.
Historical diamond drill hole FP-15-05 was drilled by Skyharbour in 2015 and returned multiple zones of mineralization over a 14m interval, including 6m of .10% U308 (including a 2m of 0.165% U3O8 (from 135m) and 2.5m of 0.172% U3O8 (from 145m).
Hole SF062 was planned to test for an along strike extension of mineralization intersected in holes FP-15-05 and SF0061, and was drilled to a depth of 200 m. Drilling intersected a 21 m interval containing multiple mineralized granitic pegmatites and zones within altered and graphitic pelitic gneiss. The most notable zone returned an equivalent grade of 0.03% eU3O8 over 2.2 m from 141.75 to 144.15 m, including 0.05% eU3O8 over 0.4 m from 143.15 to 143.55 m.
While both of these holes extended the mineralization down dip and along strike to the north and northwest, they did not intersect the higher grades encountered in hole FP-15-05. This is due to the potential variability within the pegmatite swarm. As long as the mineralized pegmatites are present, higher grades will be encountered within the overall mineralized zone.

Samples of the mineralized intervals within the drill core have been collected and shipped for analysis at the Geoanalytical Laboratory at the Saskatchewan Research Council in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. The Company will provide more detailed results once geochemical analysis of the collected core samples is completed, reviewed and confirmed.
QA/QC, Radiometric Equivalent Grades and Spectrometer Readings:
All drill intervals above are downhole length and sampling procedures and QA/QC protocols for geochemical results as well as a description of downhole gamma probe grade calculations and protocols are below. All drill core samples are shipped to the Saskatchewan Research Council Geoanalytical Laboratories (“SRC”) in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan under the care of Terra personnel 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. Assay samples are chosen based on visual inspection, downhole probing radiometric equivalent uranium grades and scintillometer (Radiation Solutions RS-125) peaks. Assay sample intervals comprise 0.5 to 1.0 metre continuous half-core split samples over the mineralized interval. These samples may also be selected for density determination using the lost wax method. 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 Terra and the SRC in accordance with Terra’s quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) procedures. Geochemical assay data are subject to verification procedures by qualified persons employed by Terra prior to disclosure.
During active exploration programs drillholes are radiometrically logged using calibrated downhole Mount Sopris 4OTGU or 2GHF probes of varying sensitivities which collect continuous readings along the length of the drillhole. Preliminary radiometric equivalent uranium grades (“eU3O8”) are then calculated from the downhole radiometric results. The probe is calibrated using an algorithm calculated from the calibration of the probe at the Saskatchewan Research Council facility in Saskatoon and from the comparison of probe results against geochemical analyses. In the case where core recovery within a mineralized intersection is poor or non-existent, radiometric grades are considered to be more representative of the mineralized intersection and may be reported in the place of assay grades. Radiometric equivalent probe results are subject to verification procedures by qualified persons employed by Terra prior to disclosure.

Bedford Metals Announces Successful Closing of Acquisition of Cable Lake Uranium Project, Expanding Ubiquity Lake Project
https://thenewswire.com/press-releases/1AXXFWPpX-bedford-metals-announces-successful-closing-of-acquisition-of-cable-lake-uranium-project-expanding-ubiquity-lake-project.html
March 7th, 2025—Bedford Metals Corp. - TheNewswire - (TSX-V: BFM, FWB: O8D, ISIN: CA0762301012) (the “Company” or “Bedford”) is pleased to announce the successful closing of the acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of Northern Lights Exploration Corp. (“NLE”). NLE is the holder of the Cable Lake Uranium Project, and with this Acquisition, the Company now controls an aggregate of 13,092 hectares of prospective ground in the highly promising Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan.
The Cable Lake property, covering an area of 8,056 hectares, adjoins the Company’s Sheppard and Ubiquity Lake claims to the north. The Cable Lake claims host over 22 kilometers of electromagnetic (EM) anomalies situated within relative magnetic lows— a geophysical signature commonly associated with uranium deposits in the Athabasca Basin. Notably, a 2007 GEOTEM (airborne magnetic and electromagnetic) survey conducted by Fugro identified an area of interest (ROI 5) just north of Warr Lake, where Bedford’s 2024 exploration program uncovered several radioactive anomalies.
Pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition, Bedford acquired all of the outstanding share capital of NLE in consideration for the issuance of 1,000,000 common shares of Bedford to the sole shareholder of NLE (the “Vendor”). Additionally, the Vendor has been granted the right to acquire 2,500,000 common shares for total consideration of $1.00, contingent upon Bedford successfully recovering a radioactive sample from the Cable Lake claims equal to or greater than 0.10% U3O8 prior to December 31, 2027. The Company is at arm's length from the Vendor and NLE, and no finders' fees or commissions were payable in connection with the Acquisition.
Peter Born, President of Bedford, commented, “We are thrilled to have successfully closed the acquisition of the Cable Lake Uranium Project. This acquisition significantly expands our Ubiquity Lake project area and enhances our portfolio with highly prospective ground. The strong geophysical signatures identified at Cable Lake are very encouraging, and we are eager to begin integrating this new ground into our exploration plans as we advance our goal of making a significant uranium discovery.”
With the addition of the Cable Lake Uranium Project, Bedford will be updating its exploration plan to incorporate this newly acquired prospective ground. The Company will refine its targeting efforts using historical geophysical data, modern exploration techniques, and the findings from its 2024 exploration programs to prioritize high-potential areas for further investigation. Further details on the exploration plans for the expanded project area will be provided as they are finalized.
Bedford remains committed to conducting all exploration activities in an environmentally responsible manner. The company prioritizes sustainability and responsible resource development while ensuring that all operations are conducted transparently and in collaboration with local indigenous communities and stakeholders.

Nuclear Fuels Acquires TenSleep Uranium Project with Athabasca Basin-Style Mineralization in Wyoming's Powder River Basin
https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/nuclear-fuels-acquires-tensleep-uranium-project-with-athabasca-basin-style-mineralization-in-wyomings-powder-river-basin-302389611.html
News provided by Nuclear Fuels Inc. Mar 03, 2025, 07:00 ET
CSE:NF
OTCQX:NFUNF
VANCOUVER, BC, March 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - Nuclear Fuels Inc. (CSE: NF) (OTCQX: NFUNF) ("Nuclear Fuels" or the "Company") announced today the acquisition of the TenSleep Uranium Project, located approximately 10 miles (16 kilometers) west of the town of Kaycee, in Johnson County, Wyoming. The TenSleep Project is a unique uranium project in Wyoming, displaying geological characteristics similar to the deposits in Saskatchewan's prolific Athabasca Basin rather than the typical roll front sandstone-hosted uranium deposits of the United States. Athabasca or "unconformity" uranium deposits occur along the contact of two different rock types in the vicinity of one or more high-angle faults providing the pathway for the mineralizing fluids to deposit uranium along the contact. These deposits are typically larger and higher grade than roll-front types. The Company is currently developing an exploration program with drilling planned for late 2025 or early 2026.
Greg Huffman, Chief Executive Officer, stated: "The TenSleep Uranium Project represents an exciting addition to Nuclear Fuels' portfolio given it is located less than 20 miles from our priority Kaycee Uranium Project in Wyoming, and is known to host uranium mineralization based on historical production and exploration work. The fact that uranium mineralization at TenSleep occurs in a geological setting similar to the very high grade unconformity-hosted uranium ore bodies in Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin, yet has never been explored with this model in mind, presents an excellent opportunity for the discovery of an exciting new type of potentially In-Situ Recovery-amenable uranium in Wyoming."
To view project maps, please visit: https://bit.ly/4kczDnT .
Specific Highlights Include:
The Jeri-Marie mine was an underground operation located on the TenSleep Project, extracting uranium ore via an adit in the late 1950s;
Outcropping uranium mineralization on the TenSleep Project is associated with the contact between basal sandstones of the TenSleep Formation and the younger overlying Phosphoria Formation, an organic rich marine unit containing siltstone, sandstone, limestone and dolomite enriched in a number of elements including uranium. Similar "unconformity" geological contacts are important host environments for the high grade uranium ore bodies found in Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin, commonly referred to as "unconformity-type uranium deposits;"
The TenSleep Formation is approximately 380 feet thick and composed of fine- to medium-grained sandstone. Exploration drilling on the TenSleep Project in the early 1970s demonstrated that both the upper and lower contacts of the TenSleep Formation host uranium mineralization believed to be leached from the Phosphoria Formation above. The high-grade unconformity-type uranium deposits of the Athabasca Basin also occur at the lower contact of a thick sandstone sequence;
The majority of the historic drilling was shallow in nature to test only the upper zone of mineralization, only ten holes penetrating the entire TenSleep Formation. Eight of the ten deeper holes were pervasively mineralized or anomalous at the lower contact (unconformity) of the TenSleep Formation;1
The lower contact of the TenSleep Formation represents an exciting target for additional unconformity-style mineralization, an exploration concept which has not been previously targeted at the TenSleep Project;
In-Situ Recovery ("ISR") offers a minimally intrusive, eco-friendly, and economically competitive approach to mineral extraction replacing the need for conventional mining.
The TenSleep Uranium Project
The Company acquired the road-accessible TenSleep Uranium Project via the staking of 188 mineral claims and the granting of two state mineral leases, for a total area of approximately 3,000 acres.
Uranium mineralization on the Project was originally discovered, explored and extracted on a small scale at the shallow underground Jeri-Marie mine by private operators in the late 1950s. Aquarius Resources, Inc. conducted the first modern exploration drilling on the Project in 1971 and 1972 with their joint venture partner, Northwestern Energy Company, a subsidiary of Montana Power Company. The historic drill program consisted of at least 111 drill holes, with 17 holes drilled for stratigraphic information and ten holes testing the entire approximately 380 foot thick TenSleep Formation. This drill program identified two zones of uranium mineralization, one at the top of the TenSleep Formation along the unconformable contact (i.e. the boundary between rocks of different ages) with the younger Permian-aged Phosphoria Formation, and a second zone at the basal unconformable contact of the TenSleep Formation with the limestones of the Mississippian-aged Madison Limestone.
Following the recognition and development of the unconformity model of uranium deposition in the Athabasca Basin later in the 1970s, Cherokee Exploration Inc. staked the TenSleep Project in 1978. In early 1980 they acquired copies of the available data from the Aquarius drilling, including maps, cross sections, and logs for 96 holes, totaling 36,000 feet. Based on this data, the Cherokee reports from the early 1980s were the first to recognize the potential for unconformity style uranium mineralization at the TenSleep Project and recommended an exploration program targeting this unconformity-hosted model. However, these recommendations were never followed up on due to market conditions. Nuclear Fuels is currently reviewing the historical data for the TenSleep Project to develop an exploration program that would include delineating the extent of the unconformity style uranium known to occur at both the top and bottom contacts of the TenSleep formation. Additional testing would include assessing the uranium mineralization for its amenability to In-Situ Recovery ("ISR").

Eagle Plains/Refined Energy Receive Permit for Drilling at Dufferin West Uranium Property, Saskatchewan
https://www.accessnewswire.com/newsroom/en/metals-and-mining/eagle-plains-and-partner-refined-energyreceive-permit-for-drilling-at-dufferin-wes-993135
Monday, 03 March 2025 07:00 AM
CRANBROOK, BC / ACCESS Newswire / March 3, 2025 / Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. (TSXV:EPL), or ("Eagle Plains") is pleased to announce that it has received a permit for work, including diamond drilling, at Eagle Plains' 100% owned Dufferin West Property, from the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment. Partner Refined Energy Corp (CSE:RUU)(OTC:RFMCF)(FRA:CWA0) ("Refined"))is focused on advancing three priority target areas as described in the January 7, 2025 news release. A drill program is being planned for the highest priority targets.
Refined holds the exclusive option to acquire up to a 75% interest in the 10,140ha Dufferin Project, which is made up of the North and West Dufferin properties, located approximately 18km from Cameco's Centennial Deposit where historic drill hole VR-031W3 intersected 8.78% U308 over 33.9m (SMAF 74G12-0061).
Three priority target areas with signatures consistent with potential uranium deposits were identified by Condor Consulting Inc. using archived versatile time domain electromagnetic (VTEM) and magnetic data.
The three geophysical target areas are adjacent to the Virgin River shear zone. The highest-priority target area is represented by two conductors. One is a strong conductor associated with a distinct magnetic transition. This conductor is interpreted to extend from the unconformity at the sandstone contact well into the underlying basement rocks. The second conductor is also interpreted to extend from the unconformity to a lesser distance into the underlying basement rocks. These targets have never been drill tested, and the depth of sandstone cover above the unconformity is estimated to be relatively shallow at less than 200 metres. Uranium deposits in the Athabasca basin are often located at or underneath the unconformity contact between the overlying sandstone and the basement rocks. The other two targets are also characterized by conductors with associated magnetic features.
The Dufferin Project is located within an area asserted to be the traditional territory of both the Birch Narrows Dene Nation and the Saskatchewan Métis Nation. Eagle Plains and Refined will make best efforts to engage with local communities in order to establish effective communication and mitigate any specific concerns regarding work programs.
Mark Fields, Chief Executive Officer of Refined stated: "We are very encouraged to be in a position to undertake an initial drill program for Refined in the Athabasca basin, renowned for its history of exploration, discovery and development of high-value uranium mines. The Dufferin project is located in proximity to NE-SW-trending faults, which are known to host uranium mineralization. Our work is focused on the discovery of potential high-grade deposits that characterize the Athabasca basin."
See Dufferin West Project Information and Map here
The Dufferin Project is located on or in close proximity to the known trace of the Virgin River Shear Zone and related splays which are key structures for potential uranium mineralization.
The Project is prospective for unconformity- and basement-hosted uranium mineralization in proximity to the Virgin River Shear Zone. Faulted basement contacts and brittlely reactivated structures are the primary locations for mineralization in the area covered by the Dufferin Project. The relatively high concentration of secondary uranium-bearing minerals demonstrated by prior exploration work on the Dufferin Project may also indicate uranium mineralization remobilization may play an important role in this region of the Athabasca Basin. Geophysical EM and magnetic anomalies demonstrated by prior exploration work on the Dufferin Project are supported by previous uranium and boron soil and lake sediment anomalies along the inferred fault zones, which are expected to aid in focusing future exploration programs.
Some of the above results were taken directly from the SMDI descriptions and assessment reports (SMAF) filed with the Saskatchewan government. Management cautions that historical results were collected and reported by past operators and have not been verified nor confirmed by a Qualified Person, but form a basis for ongoing work on the subject properties. Eagle Plains' management cautions that past results or discoveries on proximate land are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved on the subject properties.
Dufferin Option Agreement Details
To exercise the Option, Refined must make a series of cash payments and share issuances to Eagle Plains and fund exploration expenditures on the Project. These payments, share issuance and expenditures are separated into two phases, with the first Option entitling the Company to acquire a 60% interest in the Project by paying CA$275,000, issuing an aggregate of 1,000,000 post-consolidated common shares to EPL and funding CA$2,600,000 in exploration expenditures on the Project by December 31, 2026. Pursuant to the second phase of the Option, the Company may acquire an additional 15% interest in the Project (for a 75% total interest) by paying an additional CA$500,000, issuing an additional 500,000 post-consolidated Shares to EPL and funding an additional CA$3,000,000 in exploration expenditures on the Project by December 31, 2028. The Dufferin project is owned 100% by EPL, which has been appointed as Operator during the first Option period.
If the First Option or the Second Option is exercised, a 2% smelter returns royalty will be granted to Eagle Plains, 1% of which may be repurchased for CA$2,000,000.

Future Fuels Introduces the Hornby Basin Uranium District
https://www.accessnewswire.com/newsroom/en/metals-and-mining/future-fuels-introduces-the-hornby-basin-uranium-district-992336
Thursday, 27 February 2025 08:45 AM
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / February 27, 2025 / Future Fuels Inc. (TSXV:FTUR)(FSE:S0J) ("Future Fuels" or the "Company") is pleased to present an introduction to the Hornby Basin, home of Future Fuels' Flagship Hornby Uranium Project (the "Project" or "Hornby Basin Uranium Project"), a district scale, highly prospective uranium exploration Project located in Nunavut, Canada. This acquisition enhances the Company's position in the uranium sector as it targets high-grade uranium mineralization within an area of well-established geological framework.
Highlights
Significant Land Package: The Hornby Basin Uranium Project covers approximately 3407 km2 (841,888 Acres), consisting of 232 mineral claims and six mineral leases (Figure 1). This is the first time that a single entity has obtained control of the entire basin, giving Future Fuels the ability to move freely and capitalize by looking at the whole basin as one large productive uranium system.
Extensive Historical Uranium Exploration:
Mountain Lake (~55 km2): Over 26,000m of near surface historical drilling across 209 drill holes at an average depth of 125m.
Remainder of Project (3,351 km2): Over 13,500m of shallow historical drilling across 56 drill holes at an average depth of 127m.
The land package has been extensively evaluated by previous operators through numerous airborne and ground geophysical surveys, detailed geological mapping, and comprehensive geochemical sampling.
Strategic Location: Positioned within the Bear Structural Province of the Canadian Shield (96km SW of Kugluktuk, Nunavut Territory), known for its extensive mineral wealth, hosting Helikian-age (~1.4- to 1.6-billion-year-old rocks) Hornby Bay and Dismal Lakes sedimentary groups with strong uranium potential covering over 500 linear kilometers of prospective sedimentary geological unconformities (Figure 2).
Mountain Lake Uranium Deposit: Boasts a historical inferred resource estimateof 3,700 tonnes* of U3O8 (equivalent to approximately 8.16 million pounds of uranium) at an average grade of 0.23% U3O8, with significant potential for expansion based upon historical and modern exploration data, including drill hole 77Y-35 which returned 5.19% U3O8 over 0.90m, part of a 3.90m intercept of 2.27% U3O8 which is not included in the historic resource and has yet to be followed up on.
*This resource estimate constitutes a "historical estimate", as that term is defined in National Instrument 43-101 Disclosure Standards for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"). This information is derived from a technical report entitled "Mountain Lake Property Nunavut", dated February 15, 2005, filed by Triex Mineral Corporation. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves. The Company is not treating the resource as current. For more information please refer to the Company's January 4, 2025 technical report (the "Future Fuels Report"), available under the Company's profile at www.sedarplus.ca.
Upcoming Exploration Plans:
Conduct a district wide data compilation including the digitization of historical geochemical surveys.
Develop a comprehensive 3D geological model of the Mountain Lake deposit with the aim of generating an Exploration Target to quantify the potential range of a future resource update.
Utilise modern and recently available Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to complete the first ever data-driven prospectivity analysis of the Hornby Basin.
Re-process historical geophysical data to plan for the acquisition of new high-resolution geophysical surveys.
Complete advanced remote sensing techniques for detailed structural mapping of the Project.
Plan extensive targeted drilling programs at Mountain Lake and discovery-driven drilling programs across the underexplored areas of the Project beyond Mountain Lake.
Future Fuels plans to release further information on the re evaluation of more than 40 high-priority uranium targets identified on the Project in the coming months.
"The Hornby Basin Uranium Project represents a transformative opportunity for Future Fuels." Commented Rob Leckie, President & CEO of Future Fuels, "Its vast, underexplored potential, combined with geological similarities to productive uranium districts, positions us at the forefront of the next wave of uranium discoveries in Canada. We are excited to apply modern exploration technologies, including AI-driven targeting, to unlock the full value of this remarkable Project for our shareholders and be positioned to contribute to the global energy transition."
Geological Overview
The Hornby Basin Uranium 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 nuclear energy industry. The geological similarities and regional proximity to this historic mine further emphasize the exploration potential within the Hornby Basin.
The Hornby Basin Uranium 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 and Nunavut's Thelon basins 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 known deposit (see historical estimate disclosure above), Future Fuels believes the Project has excellent potential to be an effective use case for this modern tech.
The Hornby Basin Uranium 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.
Comparative Geology: Hornby Basin vs. Thelon and Athabasca Basins
According to (Hornby Bay Exploration Ltd., 2004), "The Hornby Basin shares several geological similarities with the prolific uranium-bearing Thelon and Athabasca Basins, two of Canada's most well-known uranium-producing regions." Figure 1 below illustrates the relative locations of the three basins. While each basin has distinct geological characteristics, they all share key features that are favorable for uranium deposition.
Athabasca Basin (Saskatchewan): Known for its high-grade unconformity-related uranium deposits, the Athabasca Basin features uranium mineralization typically occurring at the contact between Archean basement rocks and overlying Proterozoic sandstones of Helikan-age. Major deposits such as Cigar Lake and McArthur River have benefited from extensive hydrothermal fluid flow along fault structures, which contributed to uranium enrichment. "While the Hornby Basin is smaller in scale, its structural complexity, presence of fault-controlled fluid pathways, and evidence of sandstone-hosted uranium mineralization draw strong parallels to Athabasca-style deposits" (Hornby Bay Exploration Ltd., 2004).
Thelon Basin (Nunavut): Often referred to as the "Athabasca Basin of the North," the Thelon Basin features similar geological conditions to Athabasca, with widespread sandstone-hosted uranium mineralization at unconformity contacts. "The Hornby Basin, like the Thelon, exhibits potential for both basement-hosted and sandstone-hosted uranium mineralization" (Jefferson & Delaney, 2006).
Hornby Basin (Nunavut): While historically underexplored compared to Athabasca and Thelon, the Hornby Basin possesses significant discovery potential. Uranium occurrences in the basin are associated with fault-controlled hydrothermal systems and sandstone-hosted deposits, similar to the mineralization models observed in the other basins. Given its favorable geology and the presence of multiple uranium showings, "the Hornby Basin represents an emerging exploration frontier with the potential to host significant uranium resources" (Thomas, 2004).
Figure 1: The three main uraniferous basins of Canada
Mountain Lake Uranium Deposit
The Mountain Lake Uranium Deposit is the most prominent uranium occurrence within the Hornby Basin Uranium Project. Initially discovered in 1976, this deposit has undergone extensive historical exploration, including over 26,000 meters of drilling across 209 drill holes. The deposit contains historical inferred resource estimate of 3,700 tonnes of U3O8 (see historical estimate disclosure above), equivalent to approximately 8.16 million pounds of uranium, with an average grade of 0.23% U3O8 with significant potential for expansion based on historical and modern exploration data including drill hole 77Y-35 which returned 5.19% U3O8 over 0.90m, part of a 3.90m intercept of 2.27% U3O8 which was not included in the historic resource and has yet to be followed up on (Triex Minerals Corp., 2005).
Mineralization at Mountain Lake is predominantly hosted within sandstone units, with uranium concentrated along structural traps such as faults and fracture zones. This stratabound and fracture-controlled mineralization suggests a hydrothermal system influenced by structural complexities within the basin. Historical data indicates strong potential for resource expansion both laterally and at depth, supported by untested geophysical anomalies and favorable geological settings.
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 2). Readers are encouraged to refer to the Future Fuels Report for greater detail in respect of the occurrences.
Figure 2: Future Fuels Hornby Project with known uranium occurrences shown
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, 2025).
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 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.

North Shore Uranium Exploration Update
https://www.accessnewswire.com/newsroom/en/metals-and-mining/north-shore-uranium-exploration-update-992144
Thursday, 27 February 2025 07:00 AM
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / February 27, 2025 / North Shore Uranium Ltd. (TSX-V:NSU) ("North Shore" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on prioritization of exploration targets at its Falcon property ("Falcon" or the "Property"). In its September 17, 2024, October 10, 2024, and November 13, 2024 news releases, the Company summarized work being done at the West Bear and Falcon properties with three priority areas established at Falcon, Zones 1, 2 and 3 (Figure 1).
To date, North Shore has identified 36 uranium targets at Falcon. The targets are associated with electromagnetic ("EM") conductor anomalies and have been selected based on the analysis and interpretation of multiple datasets by North Shore and its consultants. As reported on May 16, 2024, the Company discovered near-surface uranium mineralization at P03 and P08 at two of these targets, FA033 and FA006, respectively, in an area that had never seen drilling (Figure 2). The Company believes that these new uranium occurrences could be part of a new trend of uranium mineralization that could extend to the south-southwest and to the west-northwest. The Company's near-term focus is to assess the potential for an economic uranium deposit in this area by evaluating priority near-surface EM targets in the South Priority Area at the eastern end of Zone 1 and the South Walker area at the southern end of Zone 2 (Figure 1).
Falcon is located approximately 30 km east of the active Key Lake uranium mill and former mine at the eastern margin of the Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan. The mill processes uranium ore from the McArthur River Mine, one of two producing uranium mines in Canada. Between 1983 and 2002, Key Lake Mine produced a total of 209.9 million lbs. of U3O8 at an average grade of over 2.0%[1]. The uranium discovery potential at Falcon is significant and includes shallow basement-hosted unconformity-style and pegmatite-hosted mineralization. The Property has seen limited modern exploration programs and there are a number of unexplained uranium occurrences. Terra Clean Energy Corp. (CSE:TCEC) is currently conducting a drill program at its Falcon East Uranium project which lies directly east of Falcon. The program is focused on the Fraser Lakes B uranium/thorium deposit and surrounding area. Fraser Lakes B hosts an inferred resource of 6.96M pounds of U3O8 (Figure 1)2.
Mr. Brooke Clements, President and CEO of North Shore stated: "We believe that Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin is the best jurisdiction in the world for uranium exploration and development. In the last few years, the region has seen an unprecedented level of claim staking and exploration activity. We have a great pipeline of uranium targets at Falcon with the potential to host a significant near-surface uranium deposit. Our near-term focus is to evaluate targets at the south end of the Property within a trend associated with the new uranium discoveries we made in 2024."

Figure 1: Map showing Falcon exploration targets and priority zones.
South Priority Area
Within Zone 1, the South Priority Area includes the three km long NNE-trending conductor/structural zone where uranium was discovered by North Shore in drill holes P03 and P08 (Figure 2). As reported on May 16, 2024, at P03, a zone from 196.6 to 209.0m included an interpreted brittle fault zone with graphite-rich fault gouge and two samples that returned 345 and 378 ppm U3O8. At P08, a 4.7 m interval between 42.3-47.0m returned 316 ppm U3O8 including one sample with 572 ppm U3O8. Also at P08, a brittle, altered pegmatitic and graphitic fault zone with elevated U3O8 values up to 50 ppm was intersected between 102.3-105.5m, the modelled depth of the EM conductor.
Within the potential mineralized trend, targets FA003 and FA004 offer the potential to extend the occurrence of mineralization along the conductor system. At FA003 the EM conductor system and an associated magnetic low are disrupted and the system splits, with one arm going to the northeast, the other to the north-northeast. In addition, there is a gravity low anomaly which can be an expression of alteration that could be associated with uranium mineralization (Figure 3). At target FA004, which is 1.5 km north of FA003, the conductor is offset near the intersection of two interpreted crosscutting faults.
Approximately two km south of FA003 target FA002 is defined by two strong parallel EM conductors and a parallel magnetic low. The target zone is intersected by an interpreted northwest-trending fault (Figure 4). In addition, just to the southeast of the target there is a strong uranium anomaly defined by the 2022 airborne radiometric survey.
Located approximately five km south of the Fraser Lakes B deposit, target FA005 is defined by a strong EM signature that is intersected by an interpreted north-south fault (Figure 2).

South Walker Area
Due to the presence of a strong northeast-trending EM conductor system, the South Walker Area has been the focus of exploration programs in the past (Figure 5). In 1979, Brinex Ltd. drilled three holes. In 2008, JNR Resources drilled six holes in the area. Structure-associated clay and chlorite alteration were reported in several holes and elevated copper, molybdenum, nickel, cobalt and vanadium were encountered in one hole (Sask. Mineral Assessment File 74H02-0045). North Shore intends to test the southern end of the trend. In early 2024, the Company drilled one hole at target FA0036, P12, but the hole was abandoned at 107.6 m, short of the targeted conductor depth of 125 m owing to unstable ground conditions. Whilst no significant uranium results were returned from North Shore's drilling at P12, a fault zone with elevated Boron values up to 74 ppm was identified from 10-12 m. The parallel EM conductors within targets FA007 and FA0036 are a priority exploration focus for North Shore. At the P12 location the glacial overburden is only 2.5 m thick.
The five holes drilled by JNR Resources within target FA010 from four sites in 2008 did not encounter significant mineralization despite the compelling characteristics of the EM conductor. A strong gravity low anomaly was identified by North Shore from the 2022 airborne gravity survey. This anomaly coincides with the EM conductor and an interpreted north-south-trending fault (Figure 5). The geophysics and drilling results are being studied to determine if more drilling to intersect the gravity anomaly is warranted.

NEXT STEPS
North Shore will continue prioritizing targets at Falcon in pursuit of maximizing the chances of encountering economic uranium mineralization in its next drill program. As currently planned, that drill program would initially focus on several targets in the South Priority Area of Zone 1 and the South Walker Area of Zone 2. EMIT Maxwell software was used to create subsurface models of interpreted conductors from priority areas in Zones 1 and 2 to optimize placement of drill collars. Additional updates on the Company's target prioritization efforts will be provided on an ongoing basis.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Falcon consists of 14 mineral claims; four of the claims comprising 12,791 hectares are 100 percent-owned by the Company and the remaining 10 claims totaling 38,766 hectares are subject to an option agreement with Skyharbour Resources Ltd. Under the terms of the option agreement, North Shore has the option to earn up to a 100% interest in the 10 claims by completing certain payments, exploration work and other commitments by October 2026.

Snow Lake Initiates Phase 2 Drill Program at Engo Valley
https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/242425/Snow-Lake-Initiates-Phase-2-Drill-Program-at-Engo-Valley
February 26, 2025 6:00 AM EST | Source: Snow Lake Resources Ltd
Winnipeg, Manitoba--(Newsfile Corp. - February 26, 2025) - Snow Lake Resources Ltd., d/b/a Snow Lake Energy (NASDAQ: LITM) ("Snow Lake"), a uranium exploration and development company, announces the initiation of the Phase 2 drill program at the Engo Valley Uranium Project ("Engo Valley") in Namibia.
Highlights
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 mineral resource estimate in accordance with SK-1300
Focus of the Phase 2 drill program will be on the Main Uranium Occurrence ("MUO") and the D1 ("D1") target, where historical uranium mineralization was confirmed by the Phase 1 drill program completed by Snow Lake in late 2024
Additional reverse circulation and diamond drilling will also be undertaken on a number of highly prospective targets in the north and south parts of the project area, previously identified by the radon cup survey in 2024
As global energy policies continue to gravitate towards nuclear energy, attention continues to focus on the coming supply deficit in global uranium production
CEO Remarks:
"We are pleased to have initiated an expansive Phase 2 drill program at Engo Valley," said Frank Wheatley, CEO of Snow Lake. "We have high expectations for this program to provide us with the data set necessary to calculate a maiden mineral resource estimate during the second half of 2025. Given the global focus on nuclear energy, and in particular the new United States administration's policies regarding advanced nuclear technology, global demand for uranium will continue to increase in the coming decade, and we anticipate to be able to demonstrate that Engo Valley has the potential to contribute to meeting that demand."
Phase 2 Drill Program
The Phase 2 drill program ("Phase 2") is currently planned to consist of an aggregate of up to 7,500 meters of a combination of reverse circulation and diamond drill holes in a 200 meter by 100 meter in-fill grid pattern sufficient to allow the calculation of a maiden mineral resource estimate. Phase 2 will be focused on the MUO and D1. A number of drill holes will also be undertaken on some of the targets identified by the radon survey outside of the MOU and D1. Downhole radiometrics will be conducted on each drill hole.
Phase 2 is currently scheduled to begin mobilization to site in mid-March 2025, and assuming drilling goes according to plan and downhole radiometrics and assay results are received in a timely fashion, the preparation of a maiden mineral resource estimate is targeted for completion during the second half of 2025.
Global Focus on Energy Security and Nuclear Energy
As global energy policies continue to embrace nuclear energy as a means to ensure energy security, and in particular the new United States administration's focus on energy independence and advanced nuclear technology, new sources of uranium will need to be developed to supply the global growth in nuclear energy.
Critical factors driving uranium demand, which in turn is driven by expansion of nuclear energy, over the next decade include:
Shortfall of Primary Uranium Supply: Current uranium supply will not meet forecasted uranium demand over the next decade. New sources of primary uranium supply, including new uranium mines, will need to be developed to meet this demand
Data Centers & Demand for Electricity: Forecasts of global power demand from data centers will increase by 50% by 2027 and by as much as 165% by the end of the decade (compared 2023)1
High-Density Data Centre Growth. The explosion in generative artificial intelligence (AI) will require many high-density data centers as well as much more electricity to power them
Big Tech & Data Centres. All big technology companies, including Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta and Apple continue to build data centres, including high-density data centres, to support their AI ambitions
Apple's Accelerated Investment in AI. Apple will spend more than $500 billion in the United States over the next four years to expand its footprint in the United States, including expanding its data centre capacity2
Big Tech & Nuclear Energy. Google, Microsoft, Amazon and Meta are among the technology companies investing in nuclear energy to power their energy intensive businesses, including Amazon's $500 million investment in nuclear power3
Namibia
Namibia is currently the world's third-largest producer of uranium, accounting for 11% of global production in 20224, from three currently operating uranium mines: Rossing, Husab and Langer Heinrich. Two new uranium mines are currently in development: the Tumas Uranium Project by Deep Yellow Limited and the Etango Uranium Project by Bannerman Energy Ltd.

Bedford Metals to Acquire Cable Lake Uranium Project, Expanding Ubiquity Lake Project
https://thenewswire.com/press-releases/1k49FJz0v-bedford-metals-to-acquire-cable-lake-uranium-project-expanding-ubiquity-lake-project.html
February 26th, 2025 – TheNewswire — Bedford Metals Corp. (TSX-V: BFM, FWB: O8D), (ISIN: CA0762301012) (the “Company” or “Bedford”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement, dated February 24, 2025, with Northern Lights Exploration Corp. (“NLE”), and the sole shareholder of NLE (the “Vendor”), pursuant to which the Company proposes to acquire (the “Acquisition”) all of the outstanding share capital of NLE. NLE is the holder of the Cable Lake Uranium Project, comprised of an 8,056 hectare area adjoining the Company’s Sheppard and Ubiquity Lake claims to the north. With this Acquisition, the Company will control an aggregate of 13,092 hectares of prospective ground in the highly prospective Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan.
The Cable Lake claims host over 22 kilometers of electromagnetic (EM) anomalies situated within relative magnetic lows— a geophysical signature commonly associated with uranium deposits in the Athabasca Basin. Notably, a 2007 GEOTEM (airborne magnetic and electromagnetic) survey conducted by Fugro identified an area of interest (ROI 5) just north of Warr Lake, where Bedfords' 2024 exploration program uncovered several radioactive anomalies.
Pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition, the Company proposes to acquire all of the outstanding share capital of NLE in consideration for the issuance of 1,000,000 common shares of the Company to the Vendor. In addition, the Vendor will receive the right to acquire 2,500,000 common shares, for total consideration of $1.00, in the event the Company successfully recovers a radioactive sample from the Cable Lake claims equal to or greater than 0.10%, provided that such event occurs prior to December 31, 2027. The Company is at arms-length from the Vendor and NLE. No finders’ fees or commissions are payable by the Company in connection with the Acquisition. Completion of the Acquisition remains subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and the satisfaction of customary closing deliveries.
Peter Born, President of Bedford, commented, “We are excited about the Acquisition of the Cable Lake Uranium Project. This Acquisition will significantly expands the Ubiquity Lake project area and will add a highly prospective land package with strong geophysical signatures. The fact that this project directly adjoins our existing claims makes it a natural and strategic addition to our portfolio. We look forward to integrating this new ground into our exploration plans as we continue working towards a uranium discovery.”
With the addition of the Cable Lake Uranium Project, Bedford will be updating its exploration plan to incorporate this newly acquired prospective ground. The Company will refine its targeting efforts using historical geophysical data, modern exploration techniques, and the findings from its 2024 exploration programs to prioritize high-potential areas for further investigation. Further details on the exploration plans for the expanded project area will be provided as they are finalized.
Bedford remains committed to conducting all exploration activities in an environmentally responsible manner and in collaboration with local indigenous communities and stakeholders. The company prioritizes sustainability and responsible resource development to ensure mutually beneficial relationships with the communities in which it operates.

Skyharbour is fully-funded for its upcoming drill programs at its co-flagship Russell Lake and Moore Uranium Projects in 2025 starting with this first phase of drilling at Russell. The Company has plans to drill approx. 16,000 – 18,000 metres in 35 – 45 holes across its co-flagship projects representing the largest annual drill campaign ever carried out by the Company.
Jordan Trimble, President and CEO of Skyharbour, stated: “We are thrilled to commence the 2025 drill campaign which will consist of 16-18,000 metres in multiple phases of drilling at Russell and Moore throughout the year. This will provide steady news flow as we follow up on the 2024 programs with the benefit of low-cost drilling and relatively shallow target depths at our co-flagship projects. This first phase of drilling at Russell will continue to test the exploration upside at the project, which hosts widespread uranium mineralization and has the geology necessary for larger, high-grade, Athabasca Basin uranium deposits.”
Winter Phase of Diamond Drilling at Russell Lake:
Skyharbour has commenced its 2025 drilling program at the Russell Lake Project with plans for a first phase consisting of approx. 5,000 metres to follow up on notable recent exploration success and to test new targets developed by the geological team. The focus for this phase of drilling will be on the Fork and Sphinx targets within the broader Grayling target area, as well as the M-Zone Extension (“MZE”) target and the Fox Lake Trail target. This initial winter program will consist of 10 to 12 drill holes, with most of the targets being road accessible and near the exploration camp, bringing the drill costs down. Furthermore, details on the geochemical assay results are pending from the drilling carried out in late 2024 at Russell.
Russell Lake Project Target Areas:
https://www.skyharbourltd.com/_resources/images/20240110-MainTargetsRussellLake2024.jpg
The Fork target is a newly identified target to the southwest of the Grayling Zone and is on strike with Denison’s M-Zone at their adjacent Wheeler River Project. Last year, high-grade uranium was discovered at the Fork target in hole RSL24-02, which returned a 2.5-metre wide intercept of 0.721% U3O8 at a relatively shallow depth of 338.1 metres, including approx. 3.0% U3O8 over 0.5 metres just above the unconformity in the sandstone (see news release dated July 19th, 2024, titled: “Skyharbour Drills New Discovery at Russell Project with High-Grade Uranium Mineralization Up to 3.0% U3O8 at Newly Identified Fork Zone”). This high-grade intercept is a new discovery which had very limited historical exploration due to a lack of reliable geophysical data and drill targets hampered by interference from nearby powerlines. The mineralization remains open in most directions, including along strike and up-dip, and will be a high-priority target for this drill program. The potential for basement-hosted mineralization at the Fork target remains virtually untested.
Grayling and Fork Target Areas:

Skyharbour also plans to drill targets in the M-Zone Extension area along trend from the Grayling Zone and Denison’s M-Zone at Wheeler River, where historical drilling intersected basement-hosted uranium mineralization. More recent drilling by Denison in 2020 at the M-Zone encountered uranium mineralization with significant faulting, core loss, geochemical anomalies, and radioactivity encountered in other drill holes. Like the Grayling Zone, the mineralization at the MZE target is hosted by a graphitic thrust fault within a significant magnetic low. It is also noted that cross structures associated with Denison’s Phoenix and Gryphon uranium deposits potentially trend onto the Russell Lake property within the M-Zone Extension target area, further enhancing the prospectivity of this target.
M-Zone Extension Drill Targets:
https://www.skyharbourltd.com/_resources/images/20240110-M-ZoneExtensionTargetsRussellLake.jpg
The Fox Lake Trail (“FLT”) area is located in the northwestern section of the Russell Lake project. This area encompasses a broad conductive corridor with a strike length exceeding 12 km, which hosts multiple parallel conductors identified by both airborne and ground geophysical surveys, subsequently confirmed by drilling, as graphitic fault zones. Limited historical drilling in the area shows significant alteration and disruption in both sandstone and basement rocks, along with elevated radioactivity and highly anomalous pathfinder geochemistry in drill core samples. These findings indicate the presence of a significant hydrothermal system in the area, which is often associated with the formation of high-grade, unconformity-type uranium deposits in the Athabasca Basin.

Purepoint Uranium Reports Results from Tabbernor Project Geophysical Survey
https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/241939/Purepoint-Uranium-Reports-Results-from-Tabbernor-Project-Geophysical-Survey
February 24, 2025 6:30 AM EST | Source: Purepoint Uranium Group Inc.
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - February 24, 2025) - Purepoint Uranium Group Inc. (TSXV: PTU) (OTCQB: PTUUF) ("Purepoint" or the "Company") today announced initial results of its recently completed airborne FALCON gravity survey across the 81,817-hectare Tabbernor Project, located near the southeastern edge of Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin.
"The results of our FALCON gravity survey have provided a critical next step in refining priority targets at Tabbernor." said Scott Frostad, Vice President Exploration at Purepoint. "We have now outlined three key areas showing favourable geology, complex structural features and potential hydrothermal alteration - strong indicators of uranium mineralization. Our next phase of work will focus on further refining these targets in preparation for drilling."
Highlights
7,549 line-kilometre, airborne FALCON gravity and magnetic completed by Xcalibur Smart Mapping;
Three high-priority exploration zones identified, each displaying gravity low anomalies, suggesting potential hydrothermal alteration and uranium-bearing structures; and
Follow-up prospecting and soil geochemistry programs planned for summer 2024 to further define drill targets.
Previous airborne electromagnetic surveys over the Tabbernor project have outlined over 70 kilometres of EM conductors reinforcing the project's potential.
Recent airborne electromagnetic surveys at the Tabbernor project have now defined over seventy (70) kilometres of EM conductors reinforcing the project's potential to host large-scale uranium mineralization. The Central Conductive Trend, stretching 57 kilometres, has emerged as the primary exploration target. Results from the FALCON gravity and magnetic survey (Figure 1) indicate that these centrally located conductive rocks mark a key geological transition zone shifting from granitic rocks in the south to sedimentary rocks towards the north - a setting known to be favourable for uranium disposition.
The project area is structurally controlled by the Tabbernor Fault System, a deep-seated, regionally significant fault network linked to several uranium deposits to the north. The 2024 FALCON gravity survey has significantly enhanced the structural interpretation, identifying previously unrecognized faulting that could control uranium deposition.
Exploration efforts are now focused on three priority exploration target areas where airborne gravity data has identified low-density anomalies, potentially indication hydrothermal alteration - a key indicator of uranium mineralization. Summer 2025 exploration plans include prospecting, boulder sampling and soil geochemistry with results guiding follow-up ground geophysics and diamond drilling.

Tabbernor Project
The 100% owned Tabbernor Project is strategically positioned along three major trends of the Tabbernor Fault System, a deep seated, 1,500-kilometre crustal shear system that runs north through the Athabasca Basin. The system not only hosts over 80 historic mines and gold occurrences but also crosscuts the Basin's mine trend aligning itself with 8 of the Basin's largest uranium discoveries.
The Tabbernor project is roughly 40 kilometres south of Cameco's Eagle Point deposit (Figure 2) and is comprised of 35 contiguous mineral claims covering an area of 81,817 hectares. The original three north-south claim groups that covered Tabbernor structures have now been expanded to include a strong east-northeast trending corridor of conductive rocks further enhancing the project's exploration potential.
Purepoint's current focus is the 57-kilometre graphitic corridor that cuts through the project, specifically, areas with gravity low responses and showing evidence of structural complexity. Notably, recent drilling on an adjacent property intersected significant mineralization associated with the central Tabbernor graphitic structure (see CanAlaska Uranium Ltd. press release, September 27, 2023).
Tabbernor Fault System
The Tabbernor Fault System (TFS) is a wide, >1,500 kilometre geophysical, topographic, and geological structural zone that trends approximately northward along Saskatchewan's eastern boundary. Purepoint's research has shown that although none of the province's currently known uranium deposits have been linked to the north-south trending TFS, localized shear zones hosting uranium mineralization may have an associated north-south structural component.
Reactivation of the TFS may have coincided with the age of formation of large uranium deposits in the Athabasca Basin (Davies, 1998). Davies also concluded that structural similarities between the TFS and mineralized areas suggest that the fault system may have had a control on the location of mineralization. More specifically, he considered that several deposits, such as the Sue, Midwest, Dawn Lake and Rabbit Lake all demonstrate a north-south control and strong Tabbernor-like characteristics.
