Cosa Resources Announces Expansion of its 100% Owned Orion Uranium Property in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan

Cosa Resources Corp. (CSE: COSA) (OTCQB: COSAF) (FSE: SSKU) ("Cosa" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the expansion of its 100% owned Orion Property in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan ("Orion" or the "Property"). Additionally, the Company announces that it has entered into a market-making agreement with Generation IACP ("GIACP") pursuant to which GIACP has agreed to provide certain market-making services to the Company in accordance with the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE").

Highlights

Orion expanded to 9000 hectares with two new claims totalling 5119 hectares
Over 10 kilometres of additional prospective magnetic low strike length acquired via low-cost staking
Orion expansion area covers the interpreted southern extension of the Larocque uranium corridor, host to the Hurricane deposit and Alligator Lake and Larocque Lake uranium zones

Keith Bodnarchuk, President & CEO, commented: "Our technical team continues to deliver in a highly competitive staking environment. Land in the Athabasca Basin is at a premium and adding over 10 kilometres of a prospective trend is a win for our team. Year to date, we have added more than 73,000 hectares of land, and our entire portfolio remains 100% owned."

Andy Carmichael, VP of Exploration commented: "We are pleased to have more than doubled the prospective magnetic low strike length contained by our 100% owned Orion property. As with the original Orion claim, this ground is highly underexplored and is prospective for uranium exploration."

Orion Property

Orion is located 29 kilometres west of the Cigar Lake uranium mine and 29 kilometres north of the McArthur River uranium mine (Figure 1). The Property covers the interpreted intersection of the Larocque uranium corridor and a splay off the Cable Bay Shear Zone (Figure 2).

Competitive staking in September added two claims to the Property totaling 5119 hectares and covering an additional 10 kilometres of prospective magnetic low strike length. The newly added strike includes the interpreted southern extension of the Larocque uranium trend, host to the Hurricane uranium deposit and the Larocque Lake and Alligator Lake uranium zones (Figure 2). Staking of the new claims was largely driven by preliminary interpretation of results from Cosa's July 2023 MobileMT airborne survey over the Ursa and Orion properties.

The single historical drill hole completed on Orion is interpreted to have missed the targeted conductor. Historical drilling along strike to the west of Orion intersected zones of structural disruption in the sandstone with illitic hydrothermal alteration and anomalous uranium geochemistry, including 0.05% U₃O₈ over 1.0 metres (932.4-933.4 metres) immediately above the unconformity in PAR-03 associated with hydrothermal hematite alteration.

Next Steps

Future work at Orion is expected to include additional MobileMT™ surveying to identify areas for high-quality ground geophysical surveying to generate targets for subsequent diamond drilling. The Company aims to share results of the recently received 3-D inversion of the MobileMT™ survey over Ursa and Orion properties in the coming weeks.

Baselode to Begin Bear Uranium Project Drill Program and Updates on Catharsis

1,500 metre inaugural Bear drill program scheduled to start in coming weeks
Catharsis drill program is complete, with results to be released when assays received

Baselode Energy Corp. (TSXV: FIND) (OTCQB: BSENF) ("Baselode" or the "Company") is pleased to provide updates for its Bear ("Bear") and Catharsis ("Catharsis") uranium projects in the Athabasca Basin area, northern Saskatchewan (see Figure 1).

"This is an exciting time as we begin our inaugural drill exploration program on Bear. The geology looks compelling, with an apparent regional structure hosting uranium mineralization already being identified with historic drilling and overlapping geophysical gravity low anomalies associated with bends in EM conductors. A discovery at Bear would be fortuitous as it is located about 30 kilometres south of the Key Lake uranium mill, and 10 kilometres east of the Key Lake haul road.

Purepoint Uranium Discovers New Lightning Zone Grading 0.29% U3O8 over 0.9 Metres as It Completes 2024 Winter Drill Program at Hook Lake Joint Venture

Purepoint Uranium Group Inc. (TSXV: PTU) (OTCQB: PTUUF) ("Purepoint" or the "Company") announced today the completion of its winter drill program at the Hook Lake Joint Venture at the Carter Corridor. The Hook Lake Project is a joint venture between Cameco Corporation (39.5%), Orano Canada Inc. (39.5%), and Purepoint (21%) and lies on trend with high-grade uranium discoveries including Fission Uranium's Triple R Deposit and NexGen's Arrow Deposit.

"This year's drill program ended with a discovery of 0.9 metres of 0.29% U3O8, including 0.3 metres of 0.68% U3O8, associated with a major structure intersected by hole CRT24-10," said Scott Frostad, Vice President Exploration at Purepoint. "Encouragingly, the basement hosted uranium mineralization is within an altered breccia matrix that borders a 10 metre wide graphitic shear. All the 2024 holes intersected anomalous radioactivity and the results continue to show the extensive 20-kilometre conductive structural zone known as the Carter Corridor remains highly prospective for an economic uranium discovery."
