GTI Secures Significant New Uranium Project In Wyoming, 10 Miles From Cameco’s Smith Ranch-Highland ISR Uranium Facility

GTI Energy Ltd (GTI or Company) is pleased to advise that it has secured unpatented mineral lode claims covering circa 8,000 acres (~3,500 hectares), known as the Lo Herma Project, in Wyoming’s prolific Powder River Basin uranium district (Figures 1 & 2) (Lo Herma Project).

Highlights

Significant mineral claims secured via staking of ~8,000 acres in Wyoming’s prolific Powder River Basin, ISR uranium district
Claims located within 10 miles of Cameco’s Smith Ranch-Highland ISR uranium production plant – the largest production site in Wyoming
Located in proximity to 5 permitted ISR uranium production facilities & several satellite uranium deposits, all within ~50 miles
Cameco’s president and CEO said demand for nuclear power is driving the “best fundamentals ever seen” for the nuclear fuel market¹

LO HERMA PROJECT – LOCATION & BACKGROUND

The Lo Herma Project (Lo Herma or Project) is located in Converse County, Powder River Basin (PRB), Wyoming. The project lies approximately 15 miles north of the town of Glenrock (WY) and within ~50 miles of five (5) permitted ISR production facilities. These facilities include UEC’s Willow Creek (Irigaray & Christensen Ranch) & Reno creek ISR plants, Cameco’s Smith Ranch-Highland ISR facilities and Energy Fuels Nichols Ranch ISR plant (Figure 1). The Powder River Basin has an extensive ISR uranium production history and has been the backbone of Wyoming uranium production since the 1970s. Cameco’s Smith Ranch-Hyland operation has been the largest uranium production contributor, by a significant margin, in recent times (Figure 2).

GTI is expanding and diversifying its Wyoming uranium asset portfolio at a time when demand for nuclear power is driving the “best fundamentals ever seen” for the nuclear fuel market, according to Tim Gitzel, Cameco’s president and CEO1.

GTI Executive Director Bruce Lane commented“We are extremely excited about the potential of the newly staked Lo Herma property in Wyoming’s Powder River Basin. The project is located in Wyoming’s most prolific production district within 10 miles of Wyoming’s largest ISR uranium production site at Cameco’s Smith Ranch-Highland. We believe that Lo Herma has the potential to become a significant asset for GTI as we continue to build and diversify our Wyoming uranium portfolio.”

NEW CLAIMS SECURED AT THOR

GTI has successfully staked additional Lode Claims covering ~250 acres at the Thor project in the Great Divide Basin. The new claims abut the eastern section of the existing Thor claims & south of Thor’s state sections (Figure 3). The new claims are positioned on well mineralised trends identified during GTI’s drilling campaigns and are expected to allow GTI to extend the existing interpreted trend lengths into the new claim area.

Rigs Secured For Wyoming Uranium Drilling & Utah Fieldwork Completed

GTI Resources Ltd (GTI or Company) is pleased to advise that 2 mud rotary drill rigs have been secured for its planned drilling campaign at the Thor ISR uranium project in Wyoming’s Great Divide basin (Figure 1). As previously advised, GTI is on track to commence drilling during December. This maiden drill program is designed to confirm the grade and tenor of uranium mineralisation that was previously identified by Kerr McGee in the 1970’s & 80’s and to ultimately support definition of an economic uranium resource.

SPC ("MMCap") for the purchase (the "Purchase") of 2,702,410 pounds natural uranium concentrate (" U 3 O 8 ") for an aggregate purchase price of US$250 million based on the five day average UxC spot price.

In satisfaction of the purchase price for the U ₃ O _8, the Company has agreed to issue US$250 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured convertible debentures (the "Debentures").

Leigh Curyer, Chief Executive Officer, commented: "At a time when available physical uranium is extremely tight and expected to continue to be scarce given the long-term supply deficit, this purchase represents a strong opportunity for the Company to bolster its marketing discussions and optimises the optionality of project financing structures under evaluation. The Company is at a pivotal time, shaping the industry towards transparency, whilst prioritising local community engagement and participation in Saskatchewan and Canada , and providing the globe with clean energy fuel. The transaction is also a significant endorsement of NexGen's approach, role and opportunity in the nuclear sector.

In connection with the Debenture issuance, the Company will enter into an investor rights agreement with MMCap, containing voting alignment, standstill, and sale and transfer restriction covenants.

Terms of the Debentures

The Debentures will carry a 9.0% coupon (the "Interest") over a 5-year term. The Debentures will be convertible at the holder's option into Common Shares, at a conversion price (the "Conversion Price") per Common Share of US$10.73 ( C$14.70 per Common Share equivalent incorporating today's exchange rate) representing a 30% premium to the volume-weighted average trading price (the "VWAP") per Common Share on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") for the 5-days ending on the day prior to the date of this announcement.

Two-thirds of the Interest (equal to 6% per annum) is payable in cash. One-third of the Interest (equal to 3% per annum) is payable in Common Shares issuable at a price equal to the 20-day VWAP on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") ending on, and including, the third trading day prior to the date such interest payment is due.

The Company will be entitled, on or after the third anniversary of the date of the issuance of the Debentures, at any time that the 20-day VWAP on the NYSE exceeds 130% of the Conversion Price, to redeem the Debentures at par plus accrued and unpaid Interest.

The Company agreed to issued to MMCap an aggregate of 909,090 Common Shares as an establishment fee in connection with the Debentures, representing 3% of the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures.

Conditions

Closing of the Purchase is conditional upon the satisfaction of customary closing conditions prior to June 28, 2024 , including stock exchange approvals and third-party approvals required for the transfer of the U ₃ O ₈ and issuance of the Debentures and the completion of definitive documentation.

The visit was part of the Minister's tour of significant exploration and mining projects in the Agadez Region of northern Niger.

The high-level delegation visit included:

a review of the mine design and current 23-year mine plan
the official ceremony to commence earthworks in preparation for plant construction
a review of the plant design and timelines for plant commissioning at the end of 2025
a review of ESG activities and community engagement undertaken since 2008 in the region
the camp expansion area built to accommodate over 500 employees and contractors

Global Atomic President and CEO, Stephen G. Roman commented, "We were honoured to host the Mines Minister and other dignitaries at our Dasa operation. The Minister expressed his continuing support for the Project and confirmed the Government's recognition of Dasa's strategic value and near-term economic benefit that will be realized in the form of local employment, taxes and royalties."

" Our relationship with Niger Government officials since field operations began in 2008 has always been positive. The Government continues to offer support in many ways including security in the region and assistance with expediting logistics to equip our mining team with supplies and consumables to maintain a high pace of mine development. The underground development has continued to progress on schedule. We value the Government's support as we enter this next significant stage to construct our processing plant."
