Azarga Uranium Increases Measured and Indicated Resources by 128% for Gas Hills Uranium Project

Highlights:

Measured and Indicated uranium resources increased to 10.77 million pounds U₃O₈ from 4.73 million pounds U₃O₈ (128% increase)
Measured and Indicated in-situ recovery ("ISR") uranium resources total 7.71 million pounds U₃O₈ (72% of overall Measured and Indicated resources)
- Average U₃O₈grade of 0.101%
Maiden ISR resource estimate achieves significant grade and scale and supports further advancement of the project
Preliminary economic assessment to be undertaken; strong potential for our Gas Hills Project to become a significant satellite deposit to our flagship Dewey Burdock Project

Azarga Uranium CORP. (TSX:AZZ)(OTCQB:AZZUF)(FRA:P8AA) ("Azarga Uranium" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company has completed an updated National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101") resource estimate for its Gas Hills Uranium Project in Wyoming (the "Gas Hills Project") following the identification of additional uranium mineralization as previously disclosed by the Company

Blake Steele, Azarga Uranium's President and CEO stated: "We are extremely pleased with the results of our Gas Hills Project resource update. The scale and confidence of our ISR amenable Gas Hills Project resource estimate has established it as a significant deposit in the USA. We have conducted numerous hydrology studies on our Gas Hills Project, and they have all confirmed that the resources located below the water table are ideally suited to ISR mining techniques."

Steele also noted, "The Gas Hills region is a prolific uranium district with approximately 100 million pounds of past production. Industry leader, Cameco Corporation, owns a permitted ISR uranium project within this district. We look forward to completing a preliminary economic assessment for our Gas Hills Project and evaluating its potential as a standalone deposit as well as a significant satellite deposit to the Company's flagship Dewey Burdock Project. Utilization of planned infrastructure at our Dewey Burdock Project also has the potential to considerably reduce the capital cost profile of our Gas Hills Project."

Updated Mineral Resource Estimate - 29 March 2021

Gas Hills Project Mineral Resource estimate at 0.10 GT (inclusive of ISR resources)
	Measured Resources	Indicated Resources	Measured plus Indicated Resources	Inferred Resources
Tons	993,928	6,031,224	7,025,152	514,393
Average grade (% U₃O₈)	0.103	0.072	0.077	0.048

The NI 43-101 resource estimate was prepared by Roughstock Mining Services ("Roughstock"), Steve Cutler, P.G., a Qualified Person ("QP"). The full technical report will be filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and Azarga Uranium's website www.azargauranium.com within 45 days of the issuance of this news release.

Data Verification

An overall assessment of the data used for the classification of resources into various categories is required by the CIM Definition Standards. This assessment showed that historical data gathering and interpretation of the data was conducted by a well-respected, major uranium exploration company with high-quality uranium exploration staff. It also showed that at key points, professional geologic consultants reviewed and verified the results of the historic exploration programs. Numerous academic reports have also been published on geologic settings and uranium mineralization of the Gas Hills Project.

Interpretive geologic evaluation has also been completed under the direction of the Company's senior geologic staff. All these factors provide a high level of confidence in the geological information available on the mineral deposit and that historic drillhole data on the Gas Hills Project is accurate and useable for continued evaluation of the project.

There are no known discrepancies in locations, depths, thicknesses, or grades that would render the project data questionable. The QP has adequately verified the historical data for the Gas Hills Project. The QP has reviewed the data confirmation procedures and concludes that the drillhole database has been sufficiently verified and is adequate for use in resource estimation. The QP concludes the work done by Azarga Uranium to verify the historical records has validated the project information in the updated resource estimate.

Qualified Person

Fission Uranium Grows Athabasca Basin Portfolio by Staking New Assets

Fission Uranium (TSX:FCU,OTCQX:FCUUF) has expanded its uranium exploration portfolio in and around Northern Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin by staking four additional properties.

According to the company's Thursday (October 31) press release, the new sites, called Typhoon, Corsair, Merlin and Seahawk, encompass thousands of hectares and are situated near established uranium-producing areas and deposits.

Typhoon, which is located approximately 20 kilometers south of Fission's flagship Patterson Lake South (PLS) project, covers 3,867 hectares. Geological surveys from past decades, including a 1969 airborne radiometric survey and a 2013 electromagnetic survey, revealed conductors suggesting possible graphitic fault zones.

Energy Fuels Announces Q3-2024 Results, Including Active Uranium Mining and Processing, Successful Rare Earth Production, and Continuing to Build a World-Scale Rare Earth Supply Chain Centered in the U.S.

Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR) ("Energy Fuels" or the "Company"), an industry leader in uranium and rare earth elements ("REE") production, today reported its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. The Company previously announced details for its upcoming November 1, 2024, earnings call, which are also included in this news release.

"Uranium drives our current financial outlook, while rare earth elements and heavy mineral sand products are significantly adding to our long-term value and growth strategy," said Mark Chalmers, Energy Fuels' President and Chief Executive Officer. "This quarter, we maintained our clean balance sheet while adding a new long-term U.S. utility customer, completing another spot sale of U₃O₈, and commencing processing of the large inventory stockpile of uranium feedstock at the White Mesa Mill, which is expected to continue well into 2025 and beyond. Uranium production is, and will remain, the core of the Energy Fuels' business, as we leverage our unique permits, facilities and expertise to process uranium-bearing materials to produce a variety of critical materials that advance the global energy transition through an American-based supply chain. We have long been a leading U.S. uranium producer, and we have now proven our ability to produce important rare earth materials at commercial scale with the completion and successful commissioning of our REE separation circuit this quarter. We are also aggressively moving forward with our plans to secure rare earth feedstocks globally and expand our processing capacity domestically in order to capture market share and achieve profitability. Our acquisition of Base Resources Limited and its world-class Toliara heavy mineral sands/monazite project in Madagascar on October 2, 2024 is an exciting step in achieving these objectives.
