Myriad Uranium Reports Chemical Assays on 20 Copper Mountain Boreholes. Confirmed U3O8 Grades Are 20% Higher on Average than Previously Reported Gamma Grades. Assays also Reveal the Presence of Extensive Uranium Mineralisation That Could Not Be Detected

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 17, 2025) - Myriad Uranium Corp. (CSE: M) (OTCQB: MYRUF) (FSE: C3Q) ("Myriad" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the results of chemical assay (U₃O₈) grades from 20 boreholes at the Copper Mountain Uranium Project in Wyoming, USA (Figure 1). Chemical assay (U₃O₈) has been compared against the previously reported equivalent spectral gamma probe results (eU₃O₈) and confirms high-grade uranium mineralisation at the Canning Deposit. Furthermore, certain U₃O₈ intervals are higher, and lower, than their previously reported eU₃O₈ grades, indicating secular disequilibrium is present in the system. The U₃O₈ grades reported here are on average 20% higher than the eU₃O₈ grades over the same intervals. Results from the remaining 14 boreholes are pending and will be reported in due course.

Highlights

• Although there is both positive and negative variance (disequilibrium), the uranium grades we have confirmed by chemical assay are on average 20% higher than previously reported spectral gamma probe results.

• Many intervals thought to contain low uranium concentrations based on gamma probe results have significantly higher concentrations than expected. This could have important implications for the project. The drill sampling will be expanded to include samples previously excluded as "low-grade" according to the gamma probe results.

• Overall, results re-confirm the strong occurrence of high-grade intervals previously reported from the Canning Deposit, with numerous intervals exceeding 1,000 ppm U₃O₈ over more than 3 feet and often exceeding the previously reported eU₃O₈ values. See Table 1 and Appendix 1 below.

• Thomas Lamb, Myriad's CEO, commented: "Assays are 20% higher on average than our previously reported gamma probe results. Furthermore, assays have revealed extensive higher-grade uranium mineralisation where the probe detected low values. The potential implications of this are still being considered by management and its advisors. At a minimum, this is preliminary confirmation that, as some experts suspected, Union Pacific may have taken a conservative approach to accounting for disequilibrium at Copper Mountain.
  
  Overall, the results are a material improvement on the already excellent gamma probe results announced on November 27, 2024. I must caveat that these results only relate to one part of the project area, and historic grade discounting to account for potential disequilibrium may not apply across the entire project area. Although of course we hope it does. It may be that there are large volumes of uranium at Copper Mountain that have never been picked up by the gamma probes. We now need to analyse additional core and RC chips that may contain significant uranium mineralisation. We are waiting for assays relating to the remaining 14 boreholes which includes the deeper mineralisation at over 1,500 feet we picked up in CAN0034."

• Jim Davis, General Manager of Union Pacific's exploration at Copper Mountain during the late 1970s and current Technical Advisor to Myriad, commented: "This not only bodes well for Canning but works into our latest thinking about additional resource potential in the District."

• George van der Walt, Myriad's consulting geologist and technical advisor, commented: "I am pleased to see that some of the high grades previously reported have held up to chemical assay and that some are even better than expected. The presence of disequilibrium in favour of chemical assay is also encouraging and requires further investigation."

• Peak grade assayed so far is 8,325 ppm U₃O₈ in CAN0006, up from 8,060 ppm eU₃O₈ reported previously over the same interval.

Table 2: Collar details for boreholes completed by Myriad

The boreholes represent a combination of diamond core and reverse circulation drilling that was planned to verify mineralization identified in drilling by Union Pacific in the late 1970s and test a grade shell model (above 0.05% eU₃O₈) created from cross-sections, as reported here and here. Assay results reported in this release are represented by the borehole locations indicated on the map below. Details of the drilled positions are provided in Appendix 2.

Drilling

Drilling was undertaken by Harris Exploration using two diamond core (DD) rigs producing HQ (63.5 mm / 2.5 in) core diameter and 96 mm (3.78 in) in hole diameter, and one reverse circulation (RC) rig using a 140 mm (5.5 in) hammer bit. Core samples were packed into core trays and transported to Riverton for further processing. RC hole runs were drilled at 5 ft intervals and split on site by a rig-mounted cyclone splitter to produce two representative samples that were then transported to Riverton for further processing.

Downhole Logging

Downhole logging was performed by DGI Geoscience (DGI) using a combination of Spectral Gamma Ray (SGR) probe for gamma data, and Optical Televiewer and/or Acoustic Televiewer for structural data. The probes are manufactured by Mount Sopris Instruments with details as follows:

• QL40 SGR BGO (Sx): Measures the energy of gamma emissions from natural sources within formations crossed by a borehole. It counts the number of gamma emissions at each energy level aiding in lithological determination and correlation. The Probe use a Bismuth Germanium Oxide scintillation crystal.
• QL40 SGR 2G CeBr3 (Sx): Measures the energy of gamma emissions from natural sources within formations crossed by a borehole. It counts the number of gamma emissions at each energy level aiding in lithological determination and correlation. The probe uses a CeBr3 (Cerium Bromide) scintillation crystal.
• QL 40 ABI 2G (At, Gr): Captures high-resolution, oriented images of the borehole wall, allowing the orientation of acoustically visible features to be determined. This includes fractures, bedding/rock fabric, breakouts, bedding planes and other structural features. Contains a built in Natural Gamma sensor that measures the gamma emissions from natural sources in the formation.
• QL OBI 2G (Ot, Gr): Captures a high-resolution, oriented image of the borehole wall using a CMOS digital image sensor, allowing the orientation of features to be determined. This includes fractures, bedding/rock fabric, veins, lithological contacts, etc. Contains a built in Natural Gamma sensor that measures the gamma emissions from natural sources in the formation.

The spectral gamma probes measure the full energy spectrum of the gamma radiation emitted naturally from within the formations crossed by a borehole. A Full Spectrum Analysis (FSA) was performed on the recorded energy spectra. The FSA derived, in real time, the concentration of the three main radioisotopes ⁴⁰K, ²³⁸U, ²¹²Th, and thus also provided insight into the mineral composition of the formations. DGI also ran optical and acoustic televiewer, when hole conditions allow, to obtain downhole structural information. Borehole paths are being measured using a gyroscopic deviation tool.

Initial manufacturer calibration certificates were provided to Myriad by DGI. Downhole gamma measurements were checked for a repeatability by comparing down and up runs in the borehole. DGI provided conversion of API units measured by the spectral gamma probes to eU₃O₈ concentrations using a standard conversion theory and formula.

Geological Logging, Sampling and Analysis

Description of geological features (lithology, structure and alteration) was undertaken prior to sampling according to standardized logging templates. Core sampling intervals were selected primarily on the basis of lithological changes and in conjunction with radiometric intervals identified from the downhole spectral gamma probe measurements (using a 100-ppm cut-off). Core sample lengths are limited to a maximum of 3 feet and adjusted to a minimum of 1 foot, where appropriate, to capture significant features in the core. Reverse Circulation samples were collected and split at the rig in 5-foot intervals, with samples being selected based on downhole spectral gamma probe measurements (using a 100-ppm cut-off).

Samples were prepared and analysed at Paragon Geochemical, located in Sparks, Nevada. Sample preparation involved inventory, weighing, drying at 100°C, crushing to 70% passing 10 mesh, riffle splitting 250 g and pulverizing to 85% passing 200 mesh. The requested sample analysis package for trace and ultra-trace level geochemistry was a Multi-Element Suite (48 elements) using a Multi-Acid digest with ICP-MS.

Quality Assurance and Quality Control

Quality Assurance was achieved by implementing a set of Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for logging and sampling. Quality Control in sampling and analysis was achieved by insertion of Blanks, Standards (Certified Reference Materials) and laboratory split (Duplicates) at a minimum rate of 5% each. Inspection of QC data from the reported analyses shows adequate control of contamination and equipment calibration.

Radiometric Disequilibrium

Radiometric disequilibrium refers to the loss or gain of uranium and/or its daughter products (e.g. radon-222, bismuth-214 and radium-226) in the mineralised zone during geologic processes, which can disrupt the equilibrium between the parent isotope and the daughter products. Some historic reports state that closed can assays from Copper Mountain indicated little disequilibrium, however differences between gamma probe data and chemical assay were still observed. From the analysis data received, and comparison with the downhole spectral gamma probe data, it is apparent that disequilibrium has occurred within the Canning deposit. Individual grades are often higher, or lower, than those previously reported by the spectral gamma probe, implying that uranium, or its daughter products, have been mobile in the system since initial deposition. The average ratio of chemical assay intervals to spectral gamma probe assay intervals is ~1.2, indicating uranium content to be biased towards higher grades in the chemical assays, by as much as 20% on average. It is unclear at this stage if the disequilibrium observed results from radon interference or leaching and remobilisation of uranium or radium and other daughter products in the geological environment. Myriad will expand the physical sampling program to submit more samples to the laboratory to account for zones where higher uranium levels might be returned compared to low levels of spectral gamma measurement. Additional high resolution spectral analyses of samples will also be required to determine the specific cause of disequilibrium within the system.

Geological Background

Uranium mineralisation at Copper Mountain occurs in two distinct geologic environments:

• Fracture-controlled uranium mineralisation hosted in Archaean-aged granite, syenite, isolated occurrences along the margins of diabase dikes and in association with meta-sediment inclusions in granite; and
• As disseminations in coarse-grained sandstones and coatings on cobbles and boulders in the Tertiary-aged Teepee Trail Formation at the Arrowhead (Little Mo) mine and other localities.

Uranium mineralisation is thought to have resulted through supergene and hydrothermal enrichment processes. In both cases, the source of the uranium is thought to be the granites of the Owl Creek Mountains.

Historical Estimates

While Myriad has determined that the historical estimates described in this news release are relevant to the Copper Mountain Project Area and are reasonably reliable given the authors and circumstances of their preparation, and are suitable for public disclosure, readers are cautioned to not place undue reliance on these historical estimates as an indicator of current mineral resources or mineral reserves at the Project Area. A qualified person (as defined under NI 43-101) has not done sufficient work to classify any of the historical estimates as current mineral resources or mineral reserves, and Myriad is not treating the historical estimates as a current mineral resource or mineral reserve. Also, while the Copper Mountain Project Area contains all or most of each deposit referred to, some of the resources referred to may be located outside the current Copper Mountain Project Area. Furthermore, the estimates are decades old and based on drilling data for which the logs are, as of yet, predominantly unavailable. The historical resource estimates, therefore, should not be unduly relied upon.

Inherent limitations of the historical estimates include that the nature of the mineralisation (fracture hosted) makes estimation from drill data less reliable than other deposit types (e.g. those that are thick and uniform). From Myriad's viewpoint, limitations include that the Company has not been able to verify the data itself and that the estimate may be optimistic relative to subsequent work which applied a "delayed fission neutron" (DFN) factor to calculate grades. On the other hand, DFN is controversial, in that the approach is viewed by some experts as too conservative. Nevertheless, it was applied in later resource estimations by Union Pacific relating to Copper Mountain.

In order to verify the historical estimates and potentially re-state them as current resources, a program of digitization of available data is required. This must be followed by re-logging and/or re-drilling to generate new data to the extent necessary that it is comparable with the original data, or new data that can be used to establish the correlation and continuity of geology and grades between boreholes with sufficient confidence to estimate mineral resources.

About Myriad Uranium Corp.

Myriad Uranium Corp. is a uranium exploration company with an earnable 75% interest in the Copper Mountain Uranium Project in Wyoming, USA. Copper Mountain hosts several known uranium deposits and historic uranium mines, including the Arrowhead Mine which produced 500,000 lbs of U₃O₈. Copper Mountain saw extensive drilling and development by Union Pacific during the late 1970s including the development of a mine plan to fuel a planned fleet of California Edison reactors. Operations ceased in 1980 before mining could commence due to falling uranium prices. Approximately 2,000 boreholes have been drilled at Copper Mountain and the Project Area has significant exploration upside. Union Pacific is estimated to have spent C$117 million (2024 dollars) exploring and developing Copper Mountain, generating significant historical resource estimates which are detailed here. The Company also recently acquired, subject to completing a geophysical survey this year, a 100% interest in the Red Basin Uranium Project in New Mexico, which has a near-surface historical resource (non-43-101) at grades from 1,700 to 3,100 ppm with significant upside potential.
