Positive Start to Dilling at Lo Herma ISR Uranium Project

Best Hole Intersects 14.5ft @ 0.064% (640ppm) Eu308 & 1.16 Gt for the Drill Hole

GTI Energy Ltd (GTI or Company) is pleased to advise that the first 3 days of drilling were completed last week at its 100% owned Lo Herma ISR Uranium Project (Lo Herma), located in Wyoming’s prolific Powder River Basin (Figures 1 & 2). Ten (10) drillholes have been completed to date for 1,908 m (6,260 ft), with drilling is progressing well and is expected to continue until approximately the end of quarter 3.


HIGHLIGHTS:
  • First 10 drill holes completed of 76 hole campaign at Lo Herma ISR uranium project
  • Encouraging results with mineralisation meeting expectations for economic ISR mining methods
  • Best mineralised intercepts to date include 14.5ft at 0.0640% (640ppm) eU308 in drill hole LH-24-002, and 16.5 ft at 0.054% (540ppm) eU308 in drill hole LH-24-001
  • Drilling progressing ahead of schedule

The 10 initial hole results (Table 2) include several highlights:

  • Drill holes LH-24-001 and LH-24-002 returned thick mineralised intercepts in excess of 4.2m (14 ft), averaging 1.02GT* for total hole intercepts.
  • 8 of 10 drill holes have intercepted on trend mineralisation
  • Drilling is progressing on schedule, with the contractor averaging over 610m (2,000 ft) of drilling per day.

* Typical economically viable ISR grade and GT cut-offs are: 0.02% (200ppm) U3O8 and 0.2GT i.e., 10 ft (3 m) @ .02% (200ppm) U3O8.

GTI Executive Director & CEO Bruce Lane commented “We are really pleased to be underway with drilling at Lo Herma and early results are very encouraging from the first drill holes. It is really pleasing to see holes with such good thick intercepts and strong Grade Thickness results of around 1.0GT, well above our cut off of 0.2GT. Drilling is currently tracking ahead of schedule, and we will provide further updates in the coming weeks as the program progresses.”

LO HERMA URANIUM PROJECT – LOCATION & BACKGROUND

The Lo Herma ISR Uranium Project (Lo Herma) is located in Converse County, Powder River Basin (PRB), Wyoming (WY). The Project lies approximately 15 miles north of the town of Glenrock and close to seven (7) permitted ISR uranium 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 extensive ISR uranium production history with numerous defined ISR uranium resources, central processing plants (CPP) & satellite deposits (Figure 1). The Powder River Basin has been the backbone of Wyoming U3O8 production since the 1970s.

As reported to ASX on 14/03/2023, a comprehensive historical data package, with an estimated replacement value of ~$15m, was purchased for the Lo Herma project in March of 2023.

The data package includes original drill data for roughly 1,771 drill holes, from the 1970’s and 1980’s, pertaining to the Lo Herma region. A total of 1,391 original drill hole logs were digitised for gamma count per second (CPS) data and converted to eU3O8% grades. 833 of these drill holes were located on GTI’s land position & used to prepare the MRE. 21 additional drill holes are located in expanded claims across Section 4 of Township 36N, Range 75W. Along with the 26 drill holes completed in the initial 2023 drill program, GTI currently holds data from 880 drill holes within the current Lo Herma mineral holdings.

An initial Exploration Target for the Lo Herma project was previously announced to the ASX on 4 April 2023 (refer to Table 1). An additional data package containing previously unavailable drill maps with geologically interpreted redox trends was subsequently secured by GTI as announced to the ASX on 27 June 2023. Additional redox trends can now be interpolated based on the recent drilling and acquisition of the newly located mineral claims, however the Exploration Target has not yet been updated to encompass this new area of potential. GTI plans to update the mineral resource and exploration target estimates following execution of the current drilling.

North Shore Uranium (TSXV:NSU)

North Shore Expands Land Position at Rio Puerco

North Shore Uranium Ltd. (TSXV:NSU) ("North Shore" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has staked 27 additional mining claims (the "New Claims") at its Rio Puerco uranium project in northwestern New Mexico ("Rio Puerco" or the "Project"). The Project now includes 64 adjoining Bureau of Land Management ("BLM") claims.

In 2009, a historical uranium resource estimate of 6.0 million tonnes at an average grade of 0.09% eU3O8 for 11.4 million pounds of U3O8 was reported for Rio Puerco (the "Historical Resource"). Initial review of the historical data suggests the potential for in-situ recovery ("ISR") mining, the lowest cost method for producing uranium. The entire Historical Resource is located on the original 37 Rio Puerco claims (the "Original Claims"). Previously completed exploration work suggests that there is potential to expand the reported uranium mineralization on both the Original Claims and the New Claims.

From Nuclear to Blockchain: How xU3O8 is Reimagining Uranium Ownership

xU3O8 has reached a key milestone with the listing of its uranium-backed token across major crypto exchanges, opening the door for investors to gain direct exposure to uranium at a time when demand is accelerating, said Arthur Breitman, co-founder of Tezos, which provides the blockchain platform for xU3O8.

“xU3O8 is a tokenized asset. It represents tokenized beneficial ownership in uranium oxide,” Breitman explained. “And the platform uranium.io allows people to come in and then buy this tokenized ownership in uranium, which can be interesting for people interested in owning the commodity.”

Breitman also explained the advantages of buying tokenized uranium versus investing in uranium stocks or uranium funds.

Sweden Moves to Lift Uranium-Mining Ban Through Legislative Proposal

Sweden has announced plans to lift its seven year ban on uranium mining, with a proposal to amend its Environmental Code and Minerals Act expected in parliament later this year.

If approved, the changes would take effect on January 1, 2026.

The proposal follows the conclusions of a government inquiry completed in December 2024, which recommended that uranium be treated under the same legal framework as other concession minerals. That recommendation was reviewed by the Council on Legislation in June 2025, clearing the way for parliament to consider a repeal.
