Forum Energy Metals and Global Uranium Announce the commencement of camp construction and planned geophysical surveys at the Northwest Athabasca Project, Saskatchewan

A combined ground EM and Resistivity survey will begin in early March on the Spring Bay target

Forum Energy Metals Corp. (TSXV: FMC) (OTCQB: FDCFF) (the "Company" or "Forum") and Global Uranium Corp. (CSE: GURN) (OTCQB: GURFF) (FSE: Q3J) ("Global") are pleased to announce that camp construction on the Northwest Athabasca Project has been initiated. In addition, plans are underway to conduct a Time Domain Electromagnetic Survey (TDEM) and Direct Current Resistivity and Induced Polarization (DCIP) Survey on its Spring Bay target located along the northwest shore of Lake Athabasca in Saskatchewan, Canada (Figures 1, 2). Geophysical work is expected to commence in March. Global has an option to earn 51% interest in Forum's interest in the NWA Project by spending up to $9M over four years (see News Release dated May 30, 2024). Forum is the Operator of the Northwest Athabasca Project.

"The integration of historical geophysical datasets and legacy drill results gives us an advantage in identifying areas of high potential," stated Ungad Chadda, CEO of Global Uranium. "We are pleased that the Forum exploration team's knowledge and experience in Saskatchewan unconformity-style uranium deposits will shape the refined targeting strategy at the NWA Project, positioning us to unlock the site's full value potential."

Rick Mazur, CEO of Forum Energy Metals stated, "Forum is excited to be building a camp and working again on the Northwest Athabasca Project. Refinement of the drill targeting is key to success and the TDEM and DCIP surveys will improve drill target precision of the prospective Spring Bay area."

Camp Construction and Winter Geophysical Surveys

A 20-person camp is planned on the west side of Maurice Bay on the Northwest Athabasca Project (Figure 2). The camp materials will be mobilized to site via a combination of fixed-wing aircraft on skis as well as by ice road from Uranium City. Currently camp and drilling equipment and materials are being shipped and staged in Fond du Lac and Uranium City.

The Spring Bay target hosts a 4 km long, strong gravity low anomaly, which is coincident with historical drill holes that have intersected elevated uranium and anomalous clay alteration. To refine drill targeting, new ground electromagnetic and resistivity surveys are proposed. A small moving loop TDEM survey is planned to help refine and understand the orientation and strength of the conductors in the area. A larger DCIP survey is planned to provide resistivity and chargeability data over the Spring Bay target, which will help identify clay alteration systems at depth. Both the TDEM and DCIP surveys will be used to refine targeting within the large Spring Bay gravity low anomaly.

The Northwest Athabasca Project

The Northwest Athabasca Project is located along the northwest shore of Lake Athabasca on the margin of the Athabasca Basin 1,000 km north-northwest of Saskatoon. The western margin of the property is situated along the Alberta - Saskatchewan provincial border and the closest community is Uranium City, which is 75 km east of the project. The project consists of 11 contiguous mineral claims covering 13,876 ha. The project hosts the Maurice Bay Showing, which contains a non-43-101 historical resource estimate documented at 1.5 million lbs at 0.6% U3O81,2.

2The historical resource estimate, however, was not prepared in accordance with the requirements of National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"). While the Company believes the historical estimate to be relevant given the extensive exploration work completed by Uranerz, a qualified person has not completed sufficient work to verify and classify the historical estimate as a current ‎mineral resource and the Company is not treating the historical estimate as a current mineral resource. As such, ‎the historical estimate should not be relied upon.

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.
