The Agents will have an option, exercisable in full or in part, up to 48 hours prior to the closing of the Offering, to sell up to an additional C$1,000,000 in any combination of Units, FT Units and Charity FT Units at their respective offering prices (the " Agents' Option ", and together with the Marketed Offering, the " Offering ").

Foremost's largest shareholder, Denison Mines Corp. (TSX:DML, NYSE American: DNN) (" Denison "), has indicated that it will participate in the Offering up to an amount that will maintain its holdings in Foremost at approximately 19.95% following the completion of the Offering, pursuant to its rights under the Option Agreement with Foremost announced on September 24, 2024. Denison is a leading Athabasca Basin-focused uranium mining, development, and exploration company with a market capitalization of approximately C$2.7 billion. Denison's current focus is advancing the development-stage Wheeler River project, which represents the largest undeveloped uranium mining project in the infrastructure rich eastern portion of the Athabasca Basin.

Each Unit will consist of one common share of the Company (each, a " Unit Share ") and one common share purchase warrant (each, a " Warrant "). Each FT Unit and Charity FT Unit will consist of one common share of the Company to be issued as a "flow-through share" within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (each, a " FT Share ") and one Warrant. Each Warrant shall entitle the holder to purchase one common share of the Company (each, a " Warrant Share ") at a price of C$4.00 at any time on or before that date which is 24 months after the closing date of the Offering.

Subject to compliance with applicable regulatory requirements and in accordance with National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions (" NI 45-106 "), the Units and Charity FT Units (collectively, the " LIFE Securities ") will be offered for sale to purchasers in the provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario, Québec and Saskatchewan (the " Canadian Selling Jurisdictions ") pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption under Part 5A of NI 45-106 (the " Listed Issuer Financing Exemption "). The Unit Shares, FT Shares and Warrant Shares issuable pursuant to the sale of the LIFE Securities are expected to be immediately freely tradeable under applicable Canadian securities legislation if sold to purchasers resident in Canada.

Any Units and Charity FT Units sold in excess of gross proceeds of C$5,000,000 as well as the FT Units (collectively, the " Non-LIFE Securities ") will be offered by way of the "accredited investor" and "minimum amount investment" exemptions under NI 45-106 in the Canadian Selling Jurisdictions, or in the case of the Units, also in offshore jurisdictions and the United States on a private placement basis pursuant to one or more exemptions from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act. The Unit Shares, FT Shares and Warrant Shares issuable pursuant to the sale of the Non-LIFE Securities will be subject to a hold period ending on the date that is four months plus one day following the closing date of the Offering under applicable Canadian securities laws.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering primarily for exploration expenditures on the Company's uranium properties in the Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan as well as for working capital and general corporate purposes. The gross proceeds from the issuance of the FT Shares will be used for Canadian exploration expenses and will qualify, once renounced to a subscriber that is an individual (other than a trust), as "flow-through critical mineral mining expenditures", as defined in subsection 127(9) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the " Qualifying Expenditures "), which will be incurred on or before December 31, 2025 and renounced to the subscribers of the FT Units and Charity FT Units with an effective date no later than December 31, 2024 in an aggregate amount not less than the gross proceeds raised from the issue of the FT Shares. If the Qualifying Expenditures are reduced by the Canada Revenue Agency, the Company will indemnify each subscriber of FT Units and Charity FT Units for any additional taxes payable by such subscriber as a result of the Company's failure to renounce the Qualifying Expenditures as agreed.

The Offering is scheduled to close on November 13, 2024, or such other date as the Company and the Agents may agree, and is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, receipt of all necessary approvals including the approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange and no objection from the Nasdaq Capital Market.

Global Atomic Finalizes Off-take Agreement with European Utility

Global Atomic Corporation ("Global Atomic" or the "Company"), (TSX: GLO) (OTCQX: GLATF) (FRANKFURT: G12) is pleased to announce that it has signed an offtake agreement with a strategic Europe -based nuclear power utility to supply 260,000 pounds U 3 O 8 per year for three years beginning in 2026.

Global Atomic Corporation (CNW Group/Global Atomic Corporation)

This is the fourth such agreement signed by Global Atomic.  Based on the 2024 Feasibility Study, the Dasa Mine is expected to produce 68.1 million pounds of U 3 O 8 over the operation's current 23-year mine plan.

This latest contract is consistent with the Company's marketing strategy - adding to a portfolio that underwrites profitability and bank finance, whilst providing exposure to strong future market fundamentals.

In addition, pursuant to a request for proposal ("RFP") from a large American utility, the Company recently submitted an RFP for the supply of 700,000 pounds U 3 O 8 over a five-year delivery period, starting in 2028.

With approximately 12.5% of currently defined uranium production contracted, Global has covered its project construction costs and maintains flexibility to enter into further off-take agreements against a backdrop of tightening U 3 O 8 supply dynamics.

Global Atomic President and CEO, Stephen G. Roman stated, "   Utilities continue to be active in the uranium market and securing supply in a dwindling uranium supply universe. This finalization of the European contract is a positive sign amid the geopolitical challenges in Niger and demonstrates the European utility's confidence in our ability to finance and develop Dasa to begin yellowcake deliveries in 2026. "
