Cosa Resources Announces Summer Exploration Plans for Athabasca Basin Uranium Projects
Diamond drilling at Ursa to follow up positive winter drilling results and test second high priority target area
Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) surveys to prioritize strike at Ursa and follow-up airborne survey results at Orion
Airborne Electromagnetic (EM) and Gravity surveying at Aurora and Orbit to advance these shallow, prospective projects toward drill readiness for 2025
Keith Bodnarchuk, President & CEO, commented: "After a successful winter drill program, we are eager to return to the field and continue exploration at the 100% owned Ursa Project. Alongside summer drilling at Ursa, including following up on the exciting results at drill hole UR-24-03, we will be advancing multiple other projects to drill readiness for 2025. With the completion of our oversubscribed C$6.5 million bought deal financing earlier this year, we are fully funded to complete this work and well positioned to take advantage of a strengthening uranium market by expanding our pipeline of exciting drill targets across many of our highly underexplored uranium projects."
Andy Carmichael, VP of Exploration, commented: "We are planning a busy summer season in the southeastern Athabasca with exploration plans that respond to the encouraging results of initial drilling at Ursa and reflect the discovery potential we see in our Orion, Aurora, and Orbit projects. Completing ANT before resuming drilling at Ursa will improve prioritization of existing targets and potentially highlight new target areas on trend. ANT work at Orion will follow-up the prominent, kilometre-scale sandstone hosted conductivity anomaly identified in 2023 and guide future exploration efforts. Work at Aurora and Orbit will advance these prospective projects towards drill readiness, which, despite being within 25 kilometres of the Key Lake Mill, have seen little to no modern exploration."
Ursa and Orion Ambient Noise Tomography Surveys
Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) surveying is planned at Ursa and Orion beginning in May (Figures 1 to 3). Cosa expects ANT to prove a rapid, low-cost, low-impact method to evaluate broad areas for prospective structures and alteration zones. Using data collected from a grid of compact, standalone sensors to measure naturally occurring seismic activity, ANT produces a three-dimensional model of subsurface seismic wave velocity. As the Athabasca sandstone is relatively homogenous and seismic wave velocity varies with changes in the host rock, velocity variations can be attributed to post-Athabasca faulting and/or alteration zones characteristic of the region's high-grade uranium deposits. Although ANT is relatively new to the Athabasca Basin, recent exploration drilling in the region targeting ANT anomalies has successfully intersected zones of hydrothermal alteration at depth.
At Ursa, ANT will be deployed over the 27-kilometres of conductive strike length hosting the alteration and structure intersected by UR24-03 at Kodiak, the Kodiak North, Smokey, and Panda West target areas, and all three weakly mineralized historical drill holes within the Project (Figure 2). Cosa anticipates preliminary ANT results will influence Ursa summer drilling planned to begin in August.
At Orion, ANT will follow up a prominent zone of anomalous sandstone conductivity identified by Cosa's 2023 MobileMT™ survey. The 4-kilometre-long, 1.4-kilometre-wide anomaly is coincident with flexures in basement conductive trends (Figure 3). Cosa will use ANT to locate seismic velocity anomalies coincident with the conductivity features and to optimize the locations of ground EM surveying used to generate targets for diamond drilling.
Aurora and Orbit Airborne Surveys
Cosa will complete comprehensive airborne electromagnetic (EM) and gravity surveys to advance its Aurora and Orbit properties toward drill readiness for 2025 (Figure 4). EM surveying will be completed by Geotech Ltd.'s helicopter borne VTEM™ Plus system with the objective of identifying basement-hosted conductivity anomalies consistent with prospective graphitic structures and/or large zones of hydrothermal alteration. Gravity surveying will be completed by Xcalibur Multiphysics's Falcon® Airborne Gravity Gradiometer system (AGG) with the objective of identifying gravity anomalies consistent with large zones of hydrothermal alteration and to improve the understanding of basement geology. Top priority drill targets would be gravity low anomalies coincident with basement-hosted conductive features. Airborne surveys commenced in early May.
Ursa Diamond Drilling
Planning is ongoing for summer diamond drilling at Ursa. Drilling is expected to include following-up the broad zone of hydrothermal alteration and post Athabasca structure intersected well above the unconformity by drill hole UR24-03 (Figure 5; see Cosa news release dated April 24, 2024) as well as initial drill testing of a second target area. It is anticipated that ANT survey results will be used to influence drill strategy and targeting.

About Cosa Resources Corp.
Cosa Resources is a Canadian uranium exploration company operating in northern Saskatchewan. The portfolio comprises roughly 209,000 ha across multiple projects in the Athabasca Basin region, all of which are underexplored, and the majority reside within or adjacent to established uranium corridors.
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 Mines' Gryphon deposit and 92 Energy's Gemini Zone and held key roles in the founding of both NexGen and IsoEnergy.
Cosa's primary focus through 2024 is initial drilling at our Ursa Project, which captures over 60-kilometres of strike length of the Cable Bay Shear Zone, a regional structural corridor with known mineralization and limited historical drilling. It potentially represents the last remaining eastern Athabasca corridor to not yet yield a major discovery. Modern geophysics completed by Cosa in 2023 identified multiple high-priority target areas characterized by conductive basement stratigraphy beneath or adjacent to broad zones of inferred sandstone alteration – a setting that is typical of most eastern Athabasca uranium deposits. Initial drilling results from Ursa in winter 2024 are positive and include the intersection of a broad zone of alteration with associated structure in the Athabasca sandstone located 250 to 460 metres above the sub-Athabasca unconformity. Follow-up is planned in the second half of 2024.

Cosa Resources Announces Completion of Inaugural Diamond Drilling Program at the 100% Owned Ursa Uranium Project in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan
Cosa Resources Corp. (TSXV: COSA) (OTCQB: COSAF) (FSE: SSKU) ("Cosa" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the completion of the winter 2024 diamond drilling program at its 100% owned Ursa uranium Project in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan ("Ursa" or the "Property").
Highlights
Three holes totalling 3,438 meters completed at the Kodiak target area
Drill hole UR24-03 intersected structures, hydrothermal alteration and minor sulphide mineralization in the Athabasca sandstone several hundred metres above the unconformity
High-strain ductile basement fabrics with late brittle overprint were identified
Sufficient supplies and equipment have been mobilized to conduct an expanded summer program
Keith Bodnarchuk, President and CEO, commented: "Congratulations to Andy and the entire team for safely and effectively completing our inaugural drill program at the 100% owned Ursa project. To intersect encouraging structure and alteration with an initial drill program is a tremendous technical success at such a large and under-explored Project. With the completion of our over-subscribed bought deal financing for $6.5 million in March, we are fully funded for our upcoming summer exploration program consisting of drilling and target refinement at Ursa, while also advancing multiple other projects to drill readiness for 2025. We are eager to have the drill turning again this summer and to continue building off of these encouraging initial results."
Andy Carmichael, VP of Exploration, commented: "Having intersected clear evidence of post-Athabasca structure and hydrothermal alteration, initial drilling results at Ursa exceed our expectations and have upgraded the Kodiak target area and the Project overall. Drill hole UR24-03, the third and final of the program, intersected a broad zone of sandstone alteration containing dravitic structures and sulphides. As structurally controlled dravite and sulphide alteration occur proximal to several Athabasca uranium deposits, these results present a compelling follow-up target for the upcoming summer drilling season. Prior to resuming drilling, we plan to deploy an extensive Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) survey to assist with strike prioritization and generate additional target areas. We look forward to updating the market with complete summer exploration plans at Ursa and our other projects in the near-term. Finally, we thank Bryson Drilling for their safe and efficient performance on Cosa's inaugural drill program."
Diamond Drilling at Ursa
Three drill holes totalling 3,438 metres were completed during winter 2024 to assess the Kodiak target area for the presence of structure and hydrothermal alteration characteristic of large unconformity-related uranium deposits of the Athabasca Basin. Kodiak is characterized as a complex zone of basement conductivity with several conductors identified by ground-based Stepwise Moving Loop Transient Electromagnetic (SWML-TEM) surveying proximal to a sandstone-hosted conductivity anomaly defined by airborne MobileMT™ surveying. Immediately down-ice of Kodiak are overlapping zones of anomalous illite, uranium, and boron concentrations as defined by historical boulder sampling work (Figure 2 - see Cosa's news released dated March 4th, 2024).
Drill hole parameters are presented in Table 1, and drill hole locations are shown in plan and cross section in Figures 2 and 3, respectively.

UR24-01
Drill hole UR24-01 was designed to test a modelled subvertical SWML-TEM conductor proximal to a sandstone conductivity anomaly from the 2023 MobileMT™ survey results. Minor structures and alteration were intersected in the sandstone including a weak breccia with dravite infill from 982.9 to 984.0 metres. The unconformity was intersected at 1,032.0 metres and basement comprised non-conductive metasediments dipping to the northwest. Brittle reactivation of early ductile structures was observed as quartz-carbonate veining within mylonitized paragneiss.
UR24-02
Drill hole UR24-02 targeted a modelled southeast-dipping conductor 400 metres northwest of the UR24-01 target and evaluated a broad width of sandstone between the two holes for favourable alteration and structure. No anomalous results were intersected in the sandstone. Basement comprises northwest dipping, highly strained, locally graphitic and pyritic augen-textured cordierite pelitic gneisses. Minor structures, including graphitic slips and faults, were intersected and a broad zone of weak to moderate sericitization and argillization extends approximately 110 metres below the unconformity, terminating below a cluster of discrete graphitic faults.
UR24-03
Drill hole UR24-03 was collared 920 metres northwest of UR24-02 and drilled southeast at -70° to evaluate a broad width of sandstone for favourable structure and alteration and to further define basement geology in the Kodiak area. Between 181 and 224 metres are several metre-scale structural zones with fracturing and faulting which are variably bleached, silicified, desilicified, and hematitized. Unaltered and unstructured sandstone followed to 536 metres (Figure 4).
A broad zone of anomalous structure and hydrothermal alteration from 536 to 728 metres is pervasively bleached (Figure 5) and hosts fracture- and fault-controlled sulphides, clay, dravite, chlorite, siderite, drusy quartz, and silicification. Minor structures are common in this interval and include slickensided surfaces and faulting (Figures 3 and 6). Notably, from 713.5 to 756 metres are several occurrences of massive to semi-massive dravite including dravite-filled veinlets and breccias comprising bleached and/or hematitized sandstone fragments set in a dravite matrix (Figures 7 and 8). Alteration associated with the dravitic structures is variable and includes drusy quartz, hydrothermal hematite, magnetite, siderite, and sulphides. Below 756 metres, only minor alteration and structure were intersected to the sub-Athabasca unconformity at 1033.5 metres. Basement in UR24-03 comprises high-strain, cordierite-augen pelitic gneiss and lesser semipelitic gneiss. Intermittent sericite alteration is present throughout the basement with intervals of minor graphitic faulting between 1074.5 and 1100.0 metres.
The intersection of a broad zone of structure and hydrothermal alteration in the medial sandstone of UR24-03, including sulphides and dravitic breccia, is considered highly encouraging and has validated the Company's target area selection and drilling strategy. The UR24-03 alteration zone was intersected 250 to 460 metres vertically above the sub-Athabasca unconformity. The down-dip projection of the dravitic zone to the unconformity, located 150 metres northwest of the UR24-03 unconformity intercept, represents a compelling follow-up target for the upcoming summer drilling program.
Next Steps
Additional work is warranted at the Kodiak target area and throughout the Project. All geochemical and most clay spectroscopy results remain pending, and these results will influence follow-up at Kodiak.
To aid in strike prioritization, the evaluation of existing target areas, and the generation of new target areas, Cosa is planning an extensive Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) survey at Ursa covering the 27-kilometres of conductive strike which hosts the Kodiak, Kodiak North, Smokey, and Panda West target areas (Figure 1). This conductive trend also hosts all three of the weakly mineralized historical drill holes on the Project. ANT has only recently been deployed in the Athabasca Basin and initial results suggest it may be an effective tool for defining large zones of hydrothermal alteration at depth, potentially representing a relatively cost-effective alternative to conventional strike prioritization tools such as DC-Resistivity surveys.
Cosa is also pleased to report that during winter drilling operations the Company utilized the winter access trail to mobilize sufficient fuels, equipment, and supplies to Ursa to conduct the planned ANT surveys and summer drilling with minimal aircraft support.

About Cosa Resources
Cosa Resources is a Canadian uranium exploration company operating in northern Saskatchewan. The portfolio comprises roughly 200,000 ha across multiple projects in the Athabasca Basin region, all of which are underexplored, and the majority reside within or adjacent to established uranium corridors.
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 Mines' Gryphon deposit and 92 Energy's Gemini Zone and held key roles in the founding of both NexGen and IsoEnergy.
Cosa's primary focus through 2024 is initial drilling at their Ursa Project, which captures over 60-kilometres of strike length of the Cable Bay Shear Zone, a regional structural corridor with known mineralization and limited historical drilling. It potentially represents the last remaining eastern Athabasca corridor to not yet yield a major discovery. Modern geophysics completed by Cosa in 2023 identified multiple high-priority target areas characterized by conductive basement stratigraphy beneath or adjacent to broad zones of inferred sandstone alteration - a setting that is typical of most eastern Athabasca uranium deposits.

Cosa Resources Announces Commencement of Diamond Drilling at the 100% Owned Ursa Uranium Project in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan
Cosa Resources Corp. (TSXV: COSA) (OTCQB: COSAF) (FSE: SSKU) ("Cosa" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that following completion of ground-based geophysical surveying, the Company has commenced diamond drilling at its 100% owned Ursa uranium Project in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan ("Ursa" or the "Property").
Highlights
Up to 3,000 metres of drilling planned to evaluate the highly prospective Kodiak target area
Interpretation of historical boulder geochemistry survey results identified large illite, uranium, and boron anomalies down-ice of the Kodiak target area
Mobilization of additional fuel and supplies to facilitate larger spring and summer drill program is underway
Keith Bodnarchuk, President and CEO, commented: "After months of assembling an industry-leading exploration team and a portfolio of prospective and underexplored uranium projects, we are thrilled to announce Cosa's inaugural drill program at our 100% owned Ursa Project is underway. We want to thank our stakeholders, shareholders, and supporters for their enthusiasm as we work towards our goal of discovering the Athabasca Basin's next major uranium deposit. With the close of our $6.5 million financing expected soon, we are ready to begin testing targets at Ursa while advancing multiple other key projects towards drill readiness. The additional funding will also allow us to expand summer drilling at Ursa where warranted. We look forward to updating the market on exploration results."
Andy Carmichael, VP of Exploration, commented: "We would like to thank Accurate Industries, Bryson Drilling, Matrix Camps, and Athabasca Catering for their valued contributions to getting this drill campaign underway under difficult winter conditions. The recently completed ground geophysical survey confirmed quality basement conductors are present in target areas identified from the Property-wide 2023 MobileMT survey. Compilation of historical data has identified geochemical anomalies in boulders down-ice of several of Cosa's geophysically-driven target areas. We are excited to be drilling this large and prospective Project."
Diamond Drilling at Ursa
Up to 3,000 metres of diamond drilling is planned at Ursa this winter. The objective of drilling is to complete first pass testing in one or two of the eleven target areas identified from Cosa's 2023 MobileMT survey (see Cosa's news release dated November 1st, 2023). Six initial target areas were followed-up with ground-based Stepwise Moving Loop Transient Electromagnetic (SWML-TEM) surveying in late 2023 and early 2024 to refine basement conductor locations for drill targeting (Figure 1).
Cosa's drilling strategy is to test for the presence of structure and hydrothermal alteration typical of the Athabasca Basin's high-grade unconformity-related uranium deposits. As the sandstone expressions of these features are extensive vertically and along strike but narrow across strike, drilling will be completed at relatively shallow inclinations (-70 to -75 degrees) to maximize the width evaluated across strike. Drilling will be proximal to EM conductors that may reflect structurally reactivated graphitic basement rocks typically associated with Athabasca uranium deposits. Intersections of favourable alteration and/or structure would warrant follow-up and upgrade the tested target area and its along-strike extensions.
Kodiak
Drilling will begin in the Kodiak area where SWML-TEM surveying mapped a clear, basement-hosted EM conductor adjacent to a zone of anomalous sandstone conductivity identified by the 2023 airborne MobileMT™ survey. In addition to this favourable geophysical signature, a 12-kilometre-long by up to 4-kilometre-wide boulder illite anomaly upgrades the prospectivity of the target area, suggesting the presence of a large-scale hydrothermal alteration zone extending to the top of bedrock (Figure 2). Illitic alteration is commonly associated with Athabasca unconformity-related uranium deposits such as Hurricane and Cigar Lake, forming a halo in the sandstone much broader than the mineralization. Overlapping the illite anomaly are coincident, 7-kilometre long by up to 2-kilometre-wide uranium and boron anomalies. Ice flow direction indicators suggest the bedrock source lies to the northeast; as overburden in the area is relatively thin, the source of the anomalous boulders is interpreted to lie within the Project.
Other Target Areas
Geophysical processing and modelling of the ground EM survey results is ongoing for the Grizzly, Bruin, Smokey, and Panda West target areas. Depending on initial results and weather conditions, Cosa may begin drill testing an additional target area in the current program.
Next Steps
Drilling results, including geochemical assays and clay spectroscopy of core, will guide a larger drill program planned for spring and summer 2024. The Company is considering and coordinating further geophysical work to be conducted in spring and early summer of 2024. In conjunction with the pending interpretations of ground SWML-TEM survey results, this work will aid summer drill targeting.
Concurrent with ongoing drilling operations, Cosa is utilizing the winter access trail to mobilize equipment, fuel, and supplies required to complete summer drilling and geophysical surveys. This investment in planned summer work will streamline summer operations costs by significantly reducing the need for aircraft support.

Cosa Resources Acquires the Cosmo Uranium Property, Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan
Cosa Resources Corp. (TSXV: COSA) (OTCQB: COSAF) (FSE: SSKU) ("Cosa" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the acquisition of the 100% owned Cosmo uranium property in the eastern Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan ("Cosmo" or the "Property").
Highlights
12 contiguous mineral dispositions totalling over 9,300 hectares with no encumbrances acquired via low-cost staking
Cosmo captures 18 kilometres of prospective magnetic low strike-length with no prior drilling
Mobilization for Cosa's initial diamond drilling program at the Ursa Project is nearing completion
Keith Bodnarchuk, President and CEO, commented: "With the successful acquisition of Cosmo, we continue to strengthen our portfolio of prospective and under-explored uranium projects in the Athabasca Basin. As the clean energy revolution builds momentum, projects with sufficient size and the right geological framework are becoming more difficult to acquire. We look forward to advancing Cosmo to drill testing given the proximity to known mineralization on trend and the project's location close to existing infrastructure."
Andy Carmichael, VP of Exploration, commented: "Historically, the Mudjatik domain was considered less prospective than other parts of the eastern Athabasca Basin and so received far less exploration attention. The discovery of the Hurricane deposit in 2018 proved the Mudjatik is highly prospective and revitalized exploration of this previously undervalued domain. Cosmo's 18 kilometres of Mudjatik magnetic low has never seen a modern ground geophysical survey or a single drill hole and represents an excellent exploration prospect proximal to the mining and milling infrastructure of the eastern Athabasca."
The Cosmo Property
Cosmo comprises 12 claims totaling 9,308 hectares in the eastern Athabasca Basin and is located 36 kilometres west of the Hurricane Deposit and 58 kilometres north of the Cigar Lake Mine (Figure 1). Provincial Highway 905 passes within seven kilometres of the Property and a network of trails and a provincial powerline pass through the Property (Figure 2).
Cosmo covers 18 kilometres of curvilinear magnetic low strike length interpreted to represent favourable metasediments. Historical exploration was limited to a 1979 lake sediment sampling program and a 2007 airborne geophysical survey. While no drilling is known within the Property, historical drilling located 13 to 25 kilometres along strike to the east intersected several intervals of weak uranium mineralization, including 0.20% U3O8 over 1.2 metres in drill hole BL-14-20 (549.9 - 551.1 m).
Next Steps
Cosa anticipates initial work will include electromagnetic (EM) surveying to define target areas within the Property. Given the ease of access and proximity to known mineralization along strike, positive results would warrant aggressive follow up work including ground EM and diamond drilling.
Other News
Despite unseasonably warm conditions, mobilization of drilling equipment, supplies, and personnel to Cosa's Ursa Project is ongoing and is nearing completion. Diamond drilling is expected to commence immediately thereafter. Additionally, Keith Bodnarchuk, CEO, and Justin Rodko, Corporate Development Manager, will be attending PDAC in Toronto, Ontario from March 3rd to 6th 2024 and will be available for meetings.

Major 50% Upgrade Boosts Lo Herma Uranium Resource to 8.57Mlbs, Scoping Study Initiated
Highlights
- Lo Herma Mineral Resource Estimate increased 50% to 8.57Mlbs eU3O8 incl. 2.78Mlbs Indicated (32%) & 5.79Mlbs Inferred
- Lo Herma Exploration Target increased from recent drilling and new staking
- Lo Herma Scoping Study commenced - targeting completion in 1st half of 2025
- GTI’s combined Wyoming uranium resources increased to 10.23Mlbs
The Lo Herma Exploration Target Range (ETR) for Lo Herma is also updated & increased (Table 1), since first reported to ASX on 05/07/2023, and now stands at a range of between 5.59 to 7.10 million tonnes at a grade range of 500 ppm to 700 ppm U3O8. GTI’s combined uranium MRE across its Wyoming projects, including the Great Divide Basin, is now 10.32Mlbs with an additional exploration target (Table 6).
The potential quantity and grade of Exploration Targets is conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a JORC-compliant Mineral Resource Estimate. It is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a MRE in the defined exploration target areas. In addition to drilling conducted in 2024, Exploration Targets have been estimated based on historical drill maps, drill hole data, aerial geophysics (reported during 2023) and drilling by GTI conducted during 2023 to verify the historical drilling information. There are now 954 drill holes in the Lo Herma project area with the 2023 and 2024 drill programs conducted by GTI designed, in part, to test the Lo Herma Exploration Target.
“We are delighted with the major uplift in Lo Herma’s uranium resource, now 50% larger at 8.57Mlbs. This important milestone positions Lo Herma favourably in size against Ur-Energy’s nearby 8.8Mlb Shirley Basin ISR build, and Encore Energy’s 8.1Mlb Gas Hills ISR project (refer Schedule 1). Importantly, over 30% of Lo Herma’s resource is lifted into Indicated classification with an expanded Exploration Target pointing the way to even greater potential for growth. Given Lo Herma's proximity to several major ISR production facilities within 60 miles, we believe this project has strong potential to transition into production. Our immediate focus is completing a Scoping Study in the first half of 2025. This material resource upgrade plus the significant exploration target confirms our belief that 8.57Mlbs is just the starting point for Lo Herma.” Bruce Lane, Executive Director, GTi Energy.
FIGURE 1. WYOMING IS URANIUM PROCESSING ASSETS & GTI PROJECT LOCATIONS
LO HERMA URANIUM PROJECT – LOCATION & BACKGROUND
The Lo Herma ISR Uranium Project is located in Converse County, Powder River Basin (PRB), Wyoming. The Project lies approximately 15 miles north of the town of Glenrock and within ~60 miles of six (6) permitted ISR uranium production assets. These assets include UEC’s Willow Creek (Irigaray & Christensen Ranch) & Reno Creek ISR plants, Cameco’s Smith Ranch-Highland ISR facilities, Energy Fuels Nichols Ranch ISR plant & Ur-Energy’s Shirley Basin (Figure 1).
The Powder River Basin region has extensive ISR uranium production history with numerous defined ISR uranium resources, central processing plants (CPPs) and satellite deposits (Figure 1). The Powder River Basin region has been the backbone of Wyoming uranium production since the 1970s.
As reported to ASX on 14/03/2023, GTI acquired a comprehensive historical data package, with an estimated replacement value of over A$15m, for the Lo Herma region. The data package included original data for circa 1,771 drill holes for ~530,00 feet (~162,000m) of drilling in the Lo Herma region.
The original drill data was used to prepare an inferred MRE and an ETR for Lo Herma using the original exploration results. Subsequently GTI conducted a 26-hole exploration drill program in the winter of 2023 followed by a 73-hole resource development drill program in the summer of 2024, the results of which were previously reported on 20/12/2023, 31/07/24, 12/09/2024 & 19/09/2024 and support the updated MRE and ETR for Lo Herma shown in Table 1.
TABLE 1: SUMMARY OF LO HERMA RESOURCES & ETR (REFER TABLES 2 & 3)
The potential quantity and grade of Exploration Targets is conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a JORC-compliant MRE. It is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a MRE in the defined exploration target areas. In addition to drilling conducted in 2024, Exploration Targets have been estimated based on historical drill maps, drill hole data, aerial geophysics (reported during 2023) and drilling by GTI conducted during 2023 to verify the historical drilling information. There are now 954 drill holes in the Lo Herma project area with drill programs conducted by GTI during 2023 and 2024 designed, in part, to test the Lo Herma Exploration Target.
LO HERMA MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATE (MRE) UPDATE
The updated Lo Herma MRE, in accordance with the JORC Code (2012), is presented in Table 2:
TABLE 2: LO HERMA UPDATED MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATE
The MRE has been calculated by applying a cutoff grade of 200 ppm eU3O8 and a grade thickness (GT) cutoff of 0.2 GT. All available exploration data was evaluated using roll-front mapping techniques and modelled using GT contour methodology. GT contour modelling is widely accepted and used within the uranium industry for modelling roll-front style deposits. A range of criteria has been considered in determining resource classification including data quality, geologic continuity, and drill hole spacing which is discussed in Appendix 1, JORC code Table 1 report.

Laramide Resources Ltd. ( "Laramide" or the "Company" ) (TSX: LAM) (ASX: LAM) (OTCQX: LMRXF), a uranium mine development and exploration company with globally significant assets in the United States and Australia is pleased to announce another batch of assay results from the 2024 drilling campaign completed at the Westmoreland Uranium Project in Queensland, Australia ( "Westmoreland" ) and the receipt of a permit for exploration for a large land package immediately east of and adjacent to the current Westmoreland land tenure.
Results for 6 holes of 17 holes from infill drilling at Huarabagoo and for 11 holes of 27 holes drilled in the zone between the Huarabagoo and Junnagunna deposits have been received. The results demonstrate that uranium mineralisation is continuous along strike and potentially joins the two deposits. Furthermore, there is a significant gold endowment within the mineralising system.
Commenting on the results, Laramide's Vice-President of Exploration Rhys Davies said:
"The uranium and gold grades at Huarabagoo are consistently impressive. As we continue to gather more data relating to gold in the system, it is becoming clear that historical exploration work did not include assaying for gold, which has left significant gaps in the data, and presents a meaningful opportunity to enhance the project economics of these deposits.
"Furthermore, the shallow and broad zones of mineralisation observed in the Huarabagoo-Junnagunna link zone highlight the considerable potential for expanding the uranium mineral resources."
Drilling across the broader Westmoreland Project was completed on the 4th of November and comprised 106 holes (includes 60 RC and 46 DD) for 11,263 meters, across multiple targets. Core processing continues, with announcements on assay results expected to continue into Q1 2025.
An updated Westmoreland Mineral Resource Estimate, which will include all results and include a Maiden Resource Estimate for Long Pocket, remains on track for early 2025.
Huarabagoo
The Huarabagoo deposit is located in the structural corridor between Redtree and Junnagunna and is included in the restated 2016 Westmoreland Mineral Resource Estimate 1 . Seventeen diamond drill holes for a total of 1,827.16m , were completed in 2024. Laramide designed this program to test the extents of modelled mineralisation for both uranium and also for the gold associated with the intrusive dolerite dyke.
Significant results from the 2024 drilling confirm that both uranium and gold mineralisation are within and peripheral to the dyke margins (Figure 1) and along fault extensions, with multiple zones intersecting a similarly variable hematite-silicate-sericite altered sandstone.

Huarabagoo-Junnagunna Link Zone
Drilling in the Huarabagoo-Junnagunna structural corridor is designed to test the mineralisation continuity between the two deposits with the intent to further increase the overall size of the resource. The program drill tested a system analogous to the Redtree Dyke system, and comprised of 21 RC holes for 3,096m , and 8 diamond drillholes for 1,124.10m , totaling 29 holes for 4,220.10m . The program was designed with three phases starting with an initial RC component (HJ24RC001 to HJ24RC013) to target the spatial extents for the Dolerite Dyke. The subsequent phases consisted of step out diamond drilling (HJ24DD014-HJ24DD021) to obtain structural measurements and establish structural controls and orientation of mineralisation the dolerite dyke system and fault zone extensions. The final phase consisted of RC drilling (HJ24RC014-HJ24RC021) to follow up on substantial downhole gamma results from earlier in the campaign.
NEW EXPLORATION PERMIT GRANTED
EPM28807 has recently been granted, adding 327 km 2 (32,700 hectares) to the exploration portfolio in northwest Queensland . This tenement is adjacent to and surrounding EPM14558 which contains the Westmoreland Project, increasing and securing our foothold in the region to grow our pipeline of exploration targets and resources. The permit hosts 7 known uranium occurrences and one gold occurrence and presents a substantial exploration opportunity with significant areas of prospective Westmoreland Conglomerate outcropping and under cover.
