3.51% U308 over 7.6 Metres Including 13.8% U308 over 1.2 Metres Historical Drill Result Confirms Potential for Extension at Tatiggaq, Thelon Basin Uranium Project

Forum Energy Metals Corp. (TSXV: FMC) (OTCQB: FDCFF) ("Forum" or the "Company") announces historical assay results 25 metres to the east-northeast of the 2023 summer drilling on its Thelon Basin uranium project located 100 km west of Baker Lake, Nunavut. Forum holds a 100% interest in 95,500 hectares of ground adjacent to Orano's 133 million pound Kiggavik uranium project*. Interpretation of historic uranium assay results from drilling in 2010 and 2011 on trend from Forum's drilling on the Tatiggaq deposit this summer confirms the potential to extend mineralization for up to 1.25 kilometres. The Tatiggaq deposit is located five kilometres west of Orano's 93 million pound Andrew Lake and End uranium deposits (Figure1).

HIGHLIGHTS

Intersection of uranium mineralization shows continuity and consistency of high-grade mineralization 25 m east-northeast of TAT23-002 drilled this summer. The historical intercepts are as follows:

TUR-021 intersected 3.51% U₃O₈ over 7.6 m (from 148.1 - 155.7 m) including:
- 13.8% U₃O₈over 1.2 m (153.3 - 154.5 m)

TUR-026 intersected 1.0% U₃O₈ over 14.9 m (from 177.6 - 192.5 m) including:
- 2.21% U₃O₈over 4.6 m (184.0 - 188.6 m)

TUR-040 intersected 1.14% U₃O₈ over 9.0 m (from 159.1 - 168.1 m) including:
- 4.09% U₃O₈over 0.5 m (159.6 - 160.1 m)
- 2.81% U₃O₈over 2.5 m (162.5 - 165.0 m)

Dr. Rebecca Hunter, Forum's VP, Exploration stated, "The historical drilling within Forum's Tatiggaq deposit area demonstrates the high-grade mineralization potential of Tatiggaq. These grades are exceptional and are only rivaled by the highest-grade basement-hosted deposits in the Athabasca Basin. The continuity of this mineralization has been demonstrated over a 250 metre strike length in concert with the 2023 drilling, thus far. The vertical depth of uranium mineralization to date is less than 180 metres, within limits of cost-effective open pit mining. The mineralized trend is open for over 1 kilometre to the northeast and the width and depth extent has not been fully delineated. A second drill has been delivered to Baker Lake for the 2024 drill campaign."

Tatiggaq

Figure 1 shows the main east-northeast structures (Thelon and Judge Sissons faults) as well as the numerous, sub-parallel subsidiary east-northeast structures interpreted to control uranium mineralization on Orano's and Forum's property. Figure 2 is a plan map of the Tatiggaq gravity anomaly and drill area including the historical drill holes present herein.

The historic uranium intersections provide further evidence of the high-grade uranium mineralization potential of the Tatiggaq deposit. These holes show that the Tatiggaq fault is fertile for additional mineralization along this favourable trend. The 2023 drill program and re-evaluation of the historical holes confirms steep-dipping, high-grade sub-parallel uranium lenses (Figure 3) present over 250 m along trend.

Historical intercepts from the Tatiggaq main area include:

TUR-021 intersected 3.51% U₃O₈ over 7.6 m (from 148.1 - 155.7 m) including:
- 13.8% U₃O₈over 1.2 m (153.3 - 154.5 m)

TUR-026 intersected 1.0% U₃O₈ over 14.9 m (from 177.6 - 192.5 m) including:
- 2.21% U₃O₈over 4.6 m (184.0 - 188.6 m)

TUR-028 intersected 0.40% U₃O₈ over 2.3 m (from 193.0 - 195.3 m) including:
- 0.93% U₃O₈over 0.4 m (193.0 - 193.4 m)

TUR-040 intersected 1.14% U₃O₈ over 9.0 m (from 159.1 - 168.1 m) including:
- 4.09% U₃O₈over 0.5 m (159.6 - 160.1 m)
- 2.81% U₃O₈over 2.5 m (162.5 - 165.0 m)

Tatiggaq Interpretation

Mineralization within the Tatiggaq deposit consists of two zones - the Main and West Zones and is located at depths between 80 and 180 m. The mineralization is hosted in a series of high-grade subparallel, steep, south-dipping fault zones that sit within a 50 m wide area (Figure 3). Individual high-grade mineralized structures are up to 10 m in width. The entire 0.7 km wide by 1.5 km long Tatiggaq gravity anomaly remains open for additional uranium mineralization both along strike of the known zones but also along numerous sub-parallel fault zones to the north and south.

Quality Assurance/Quality Control

Geochemical analysis of the historical drill holes is considered to be within acceptable limits based on the standards and sampling protocol used by Cameco Corporation from 2008 to 2012. The historical geochemical data were gathered from the historical assessment data, which was analysed at the Saskatchewan Research Council Geoanalytical Laboratory in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Their sampling method consisted of taking 10 to 50 cm half core split samples of similar radioactivity based on using a hand-held scintillometer for assay analysis. Assay samples were analysed using the ICP-OES package with the addition of the U₃O₈ wt% assay analysis.

Forum Announces Drill Results of Highly Elevated Uranium at the Basement/Sandstone Unconformity in the Thelon Basin

Forum Energy Metals Corp. (TSXV: FMC) (OTCQB: FDCFF) ("Forum" or the "Company") announces drill results for the Ayra, Loki and Ned grids. The Ayra and Loki grids host strong clay alteration and elevated uranium values up to 72.8 ppm in the sandstone and 323 ppm in the basement. This is the first evidence of major unconformity-style uranium mineralization at the sandstonebasement contact in the Thelon Basin. These targets have the potential for the discovery of Tier One uranium deposits similar to those found in the Athabasca Basin.

Cyprium Gains Full Control of Paterson Copper Project as IGO Withdraws

Cyprium Metals (ASX:CYM,OTC Pink:CYPMF) said Wednesday (April 23) that it will assume 100 percent ownership of the Paterson exploration project following IGO's (ASX:IGO,OTC Pink:IPDGF) withdrawal from the joint venture.

The joint venture dates back to June 2020, when IGO signed a deal with Metals X (ASX:MLX,OTC Pink:MLXEF).

Under the arrangement, IGO committed to solely fund AU$32 million worth of exploration activities over the course of 6.5 years to earn a 70 percent interest in the project. IGO has managed the asset since then, investing approximately AU$24 million across multiple drill campaigns and regional targeting programs.

Cyprium went on to acquire Metals X's Western Australian copper assets in March 2021. Now that IGO has decided to exit the agreement with no retained interest, Paterson will revert back to Cyprium effective April 30.

The property is located in Western Australia's prolific Northeastern Pilbara region, and according to the company is contiguous with its Nifty copper complex and Maroochydore copper project.

Finlay Minerals stakes the JJB Property - within the Bear Lake Corridor of British Columbia

finlay minerals ltd. (TSXV: FYL) (OTCQB: FYMNF) ("Finlay" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the staking of 9 mineral claims covering 15,453 hectares (approximately 154 km²) in the northern Bear Lake Corridor of British Columbia . The JJB Property is named in honour of Finlay's Founder, John J. Barakso who was an early advocate for the potential of the Bear Creek Corridor.

JJB PROPERTY:

The JJB Property is located within a highly prospective 135-kilometer-long belt in the Stikine Terrane, which hosts several significant copper (Cu) and silver (Ag) showings and prospects. Noteworthy nearby projects include Zimtu Capital Corp.'s Copperline Project and Doubleview Gold Corp.'s Red Spring Project. Additionally, porphyry projects along the Bear Lake trend include Imperial Metals' Cu-Mo Porphyry Bear Lake Project, American Eagle Gold's Cu-Au-Mo ± Ag NAK Project, Amarc Resources Ltd.'s DUKE Project, and HDI Quartz Mountain's Cu Porphyry Jake Project.

The JJB area has geology similar to that of the deposits found in the Bear Lake Corridor. Three main copper showings have been identified on the property: Squingula, Quin, and Pat. The Squingula and Quin showings are located near an Eocene intrusion on the west side, characterized by a coincident magnetic high. This magnetic high is surrounded by a low that corresponds with an iron oxide anomaly, potentially indicative of a porphyry target. Both the intrusion and the magnetic and iron oxide signatures are associated with a multi-element geochemical anomaly identified through limited sampling. Mineralization appears to be influenced by major northwest-trending structures and east-west cross structures, with known mineralization occurring at the intersections of these structures.

In 2025, exploration work at the JJB will focus on expanding the geochemical anomalies within the gossanous magnetic low surrounding the magnetic high. Priority will be given to an airborne magnetic survey, along with prospecting and soil sampling.

Details on the JJB Property can be found in the JJB Property Technical Presentation and in the Properties section of the Company website at www.finlayminerals.com .

SAY PROPERTY:

Lying 4 km south of Finlay's new JJB Property, work continues on the SAY Property, which has recently been expanded with additional staking to the north and south. The SAY Property now totals 26,202 hectares. The SAY Property was acquired in 2024, and an inaugural field program focused on chip sampling and mapping along the 4.3-kilometer-long SPUR Trend. This led to the discovery of the AG Zone and confirmed the continuity of high-grade Cu-Ag mineralization in the East Breccia Zone.

The SPUR is a high-grade Cu-Ag structural vein and breccia target that extends for 4.3 km along the north-northwest Tsaytut Spur ridge * .

The SHEL target area is a Cu-Mo porphyry identified through historic mapping and drilling. SHEL mineralization is reported to be associated with veining and breccias within quartz-feldspar porphyry dikes and lies on the western margin of an unexplored 3 km x 2 km magnetic high * . Historical assays and airborne magnetic data indicate the potential for the expansion of known mineralization in these two target areas.

In 2025, exploration work at the SAY will aim to expand the mineralized footprint of the SPUR and SHEL targets through geological mapping, soil sampling, and an airborne magnetic survey.

Details on the SAY Property, can be found in the SAY Property Technical Presentation and in the Properties section of the Company website at www.finlayminerals.com .

PIL Property , which covers 13,374 ha in the heart of the Toodoggone region, has numerous porphyry Cu-Au ± Ag targets and associated epithermal Au-Ag mineralization. Exploration on the PIL Property is fully funded for 2025 with the signing of an Earn-In-Agreement with Freeport-McMoRan (Refer to news release FYL NR03-25 entitled: "Finlay Minerals Enters into Earn-In Agreements with Freeport for its PIL & ATTY Properties ". ) The PIL is neighboured by Amarc Resources and Freeport-McMoRan's joint venture JOY Project and TDG Gold Corporation's Shasta/Baker and Sofia Properties. The PIL Property is also 25 km northwest of Centerra Gold's past-producing Kemess South Mine and 15 km east of Thesis Gold's Lawyers Project.
ATTY Property covers 3,875 ha of sub-alpine terrain in the southern Toodoggone region. Exploration on the ATTY Property is also full-funded for 2025 with the signing of an Earn-In-Agreement with Freeport-McMoRan in April 2025.The Toodoggone is a northwest-trending belt of Triassic to Jurassic arc terranes that hosts numerous significant porphyry Cu-Au ± Ag and associated epithermal Au-Ag deposits. The ATTY Property is in between and contiguous to Centerra Gold's Kemess Project and the joint-venture JOY Project held by Amarc Resources and Freeport-McMoRan. The ATTY Property KEM target has similarities to the Kemess North Trend, which hosts the Kemess Underground and Kemess East deposits.
Silver Hope Property covers 21,322 ha and surrounds the past-producing Equity Silver Mine in the prospective Skeena Arch region of central B.C. The Silver Hope contains the Main Trend which is a >2 km Cu-Ag-Au mineralized trend with mineralization starting at surface. West of the Main Trend is the West Cu-Mo Porphyry which is also mineralized starting from surface.
