LTD. (“BC LTD”) which holds an 85% interest in Paraguay Uranium S.A. (“Paraguay Uranium”) that owns four concessions comprising the Yuty Prometeo Project in southeastern Paraguay, the terms of which are outlined below (“Transaction Terms”).
The four concessions — including the three San Jose and one Yuty Uno concession — collectively span approximately 90,000 hectares (222,395 acres) within the prolific Paraná Basin, one of South America’s most promising uranium regions. The project area is located adjacent to Uranium Energy Corp.’s (“UEC”) established Yuty Deposit, which hosts an Indicated resource of 8.96 million pounds of U₃O₈.
This acquisition follows the Company’s previously announced updates on April 17 and June 12, 2025. Vanguard expects to complete site visits, including core review and data compilation, within the next two weeks. The Company is targeting the completion of its maiden NI 43-101 Technical Report within three weeks.
David Greenway, CEO of Vanguard Mining Corp., commented, "The acquisition of the Yuty Prometeo concessions represents a transformative step forward in Vanguard’s uranium exploration strategy. These highly prospective concessions, located adjacent to UEC’s established Yuty multi-million-pound deposit, position us in one of the most promising uranium regions in South America. We are excited to build on the historical exploration and leverage modern techniques to unlock the project's full potential."

About the Yuty Prometeo Project
The Yuty Prometeo consists of four (4) concessions—three (3) San Jose concessions and one (1) Prometeo concession—covering a combined area of approximately 90,000 hectares (222,395 acres) within the uranium-rich Paraná Basin in southeastern Paraguay.
The Prometeo Concession spans approximately 27,666 hectares (68,368 acres) and is directly contiguous to UEC’s Yuty Project. Historical records reference 28 drill holes on the property, with uranium values ranging from 0.05% to 0.10% U₃O₈. Data from previous work by the Anschutz Corporation suggest that the Prometeo block lies on trend with UEC’s adjacent Transandes block.

The San Jose Concessions encompass approximately 62,210 hectares (153,754 acres) across three contiguous claims situated along the Upper Permian–Carboniferous contact, approximately 100 km northwest of UEC’s Yuty Project and 40 km west of its Coronel Oviedo Project. A radiometric car survey conducted over a 40 km by 10 km area delineated significant uranium anomalies across the property. Collectively, these concessions represent a strategically positioned and highly prospective uranium exploration asset within one of South America’s most promising uranium districts.

About UEC’s Yuty ISR Project
The Yuty ISR Project, owned by UEC, covers approximately 117,359 hectares (290,000 acres) and is located about 200 kilometers east and southeast of Asunción, the capital of Paraguay. Positioned within the Paraná Basin, the area hosts several known uranium deposits, including Figueira and Amorinópolis in Brazil. Preliminary studies indicate the deposit is amenable to in situ recovery (“ISR”) — the same low-cost extraction method UEC successfully employs at its operations in Texas.
Modern exploration of the Yuty Project began in 1976, when Anschutz of Denver, Colorado, conducted regional uranium exploration under a joint venture with Korea Electric Power Corporation and Taiwan Power Company. Working under an exclusive concession covering 162,700 square kilometers, nearly the entire eastern half of Paraguay, Anschutz identified multiple target areas, including Yuty. From 1976 to 1983, the company drilled approximately 75,000 meters of core and rotary holes, halting further work due to declining uranium prices.
In July 2006, CUE Resources Ltd. (“CUE”) acquired an option on the Yuty Project and launched its own rotary and diamond drilling campaigns. Between 2007 and 2010, CUE completed 256 drill holes totaling 31,000 meters, ultimately acquiring 100% ownership of the project.
On March 30, 2012, UEC acquired all outstanding shares of CUE Resources Ltd., securing a 100% undivided interest in the Yuty Project.1
Resource Estimates
The current disclosed resource for UEC’s Yuty Project is 8.962 million lbs of U308 Indicated, and 2.203 million lbs of U308 Inferred, which has been finalized in a technical report prepared for UEC titled “Yuty Uranium Project Initial Assessment US SEC Subpart 1300 Regulation SK Report, Paraguay SA” dated July 1, 2022. 2
Vanguard’s management cautions that past results or discoveries on properties adjacent to Vanguard’s projects may not be indicative of mineralization on the Company’s own properties.
