SASK Atha Energy Corp

ATHA Energy Corp. (TSX.V: SASK) (FRA: X5U) (OTCQB: SASKF) (“ATHA” or the “Company”), holder of the largest uranium exploration portfolio in two of the highest-grade uranium districts in the world, is pleased to announce conclusions from its updated 2024 Technical Report (effective date November 25, 2024) on its 100%-owned Angilak Uranium Project in Nunavut.

Conclusions from the Report – in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the National Instrument NI 43-101 – establish a baseline Exploration Target (the “Exploration Target”) for the Lac 50 Deposit ranging between 60.8 M lbs U3O8 and 98.2 M lbs U3O8, with an average grade range between 0.37% U3O8 and 0.48% U3O8 (Table 1) - restricted to drill results from the Lac 48, 50, 52, and 54 mineralized Trends (known as the “Lac 50 Deposit”) (Figures 2a & 2b). The updated 2024 Technical Report utilized technical information collected predominately from 2009 through to 2024 – inclusive of assay results from the 2024 Angilak Exploration Program and will be prepared by Mr. Matthew Batty, MSc., P.Geo, owner of Understood Minerals Resources Ltd. The updated 2024 Technical Report will also include details regarding the Exploration Target Model (the “Exploration Target Model”) presented herein, and will be filed on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) within 45 days of this release.

The Company is also pleased to announce assay results from its Phase I: diamond drilling campaign completed as part of the 2024 Angilak Exploration Program. The 2024 Angilak Exploration Program resulted in the expansion of mineralized domains along the Lac 50 Trend where grades of up to 5.85% U3O8 over 0.5 m were intersected. Additionally, the program identified and expanded mineralization along parallel trends, defined as Lac 48, Lac 52, and Lac 54 Trends.

Troy Boisjoli, CEO added: “ATHA was built with a large-scale vision that reflects our belief in the generational opportunity within the uranium sector and we believe our exploration program at Angilak exemplifies this approach. Rather than relying on incremental delineation at Angilak, the unique strength of our balance sheet amongst exploration peers and deep technical bench provided us the opportunity to design and successfully execute an exploration program seeking long-term value creation that give us both resolution on the future scale of Angilak and also significantly de-risks future exploration programs. We are extremely pleased with the outcome of this choice and believe these exploration results not only establish the large-scale resource potential at Angilak but also prove the viability of Nunavut as a tier 1 uranium jurisdiction globally.”

Cliff Revering, VP Exploration added: “The objectives we had set for ATHA’s 2024 drilling at Angilak were to expand the footprint of mineralization of the historic Lac 50 mineralized domains, as well as to identify new zones of mineralization within the main Lac 50 Trend and proximal exploration target areas. The success we had in meeting these objectives has now been contextualized by the 2024 Exploration Target model which further demonstrates the potential that exists within the Lac 50 Deposit. The additional prospectivity we see regionally within the Angilak Project, where numerous additional mineralized discoveries and showings have already been identified by limited drill testing, provides even more exploration upside and growth potential for the project.”

ANGILAK PROJECT – NUNAVUT

The Angilak Project is situated within the Angikuni Basin, approximately 225 km southwest of Baker Lake in the Kivalliq Region of Nunavut (Figure 1). The project notably hosts the Lac 50 Uranium Deposit, which has a historical mineral resource estimate of 43.3M lbs at an average grade of 0.69% U3O8.1 Additionally, numerous regional discoveries of uranium mineralization have been made outside of the Lac 50 Corridor, both within Angikuni Basin as well as along its rim – demonstrating many similarities to high-grade uranium discoveries in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan. One such prominent regional discovery within the Angilak Project area is the Dipole Showing, located along the western rim of the Angikuni Basin 25 km to the southwest of the Lac 50 Corridor. Previous operators of the Project completed 24 diamond drill holes in the Dipole Showing and intersected grades of up to 5.53% U3O8 over 0.5 m.

Figure 2b: 2024 Lac 50 Deposit Long-section Schematic

• Lac 48 Trend – located ~1 km to the southwest of the Western-Extension Zone at the Lac 50 Deposit, the Lac 48 Trend is currently defined by a prospective ~5.5 km long interpreted Very Low Frequency electromagnetic survey (“VLF”) trend with numerous parallel anomalies. Limited drill testing has resulted in the discovery of several parallel mineralized horizons, two of which are included in the Exploration Target Model. The Lac 48 Exploration Target Model for resource growth is based on 26 diamond drill holes totaling 3,569 m, with holes intersecting grades of up to 6.83% U3O8 over 0.4 m. Lac 48 was not included in the 2013 historic mineral resource estimate. The two modeled horizons have a cumulative strike length of 345 m with a maximum modeled depth of 210 m (Figures 2a & 2b). Along with the currently modeled mineralized horizons, the Lac 48 Trend remains open along strike and at depth.
• Lac 50 Trend – currently defined by a prospective ~15 km long interpreted VLF trend with numerous parallel anomalies. Exploration to date has resulted in the discovery of several mineralized domains, including the Western Extension, Main Zone, Eastern Extension and J4/Ray Domains – which formed the entire 2013 historic mineral resource estimate for the Lac 50 Deposit – in addition to several newly identified mineralized domains. The entire Lac 50 Trend, including all domains incorporated in the 2024 Exploration Target Model for resource growth, remains open along strike and down-dip.
  • The Main Zone, Western Extension, and Eastern Extension Domains are based on 267 drill holes totaling 50,449 m. Thus far, the three domains have a cumulative strike length of 3.65 km and vertical depth of 510 m (Figures 2a & 2b).
  • The J4/Ray Domain encompasses the J4 Upper, J4 Lower, and the Ray Zones. The J4/Ray Domain Exploration Target model is based on 72 drill holes totaling 15,395 m with the three zones having a cumulative strike length of 1.97 km and a vertical depth of 510 m (Figures 2a & 2b).
  • The J4 West Zone – located directly west of the J4/Ray Domain, the J4 West Zone is a newly defined mineralized zone and not included in the 2013 historic mineral resource estimate. The J4 West Zone is based on 16 drill holes completed to date totaling 2,079 m with dimensions of 750 m strike length and 280 m vertical depth (Figures 2a & 2b).
• Lac 52 Trend – located ~750 m to the north of the Lac 50 Trend, the Lac 52 Trend is currently defined by a prospective ~11 km long interpreted VLF trend with numerous parallel anomalies. Limited exploration to date has resulted in the identification of several parallel horizons of uranium mineralization, three of which are included in the Exploration Target Model for resource growth. The Lac 52 Exploration Target Model is based on 37 diamond drill holes totaling 6,528 m, with holes intersecting grades of up to 3.57% U3O8 over 0.4 m at Mushroom Lake and 1.29% U3O8 over 1.0 m at Pulse. Lac 52 was not included in the 2013 historic mineral resource estimate. The three modeled horizons have a cumulative strike length of 2.21 km and vertical depth of 260 m (Figures 2a & 2b). The Lac 52 Trend remains open along strike and at depth.
• Lac 54 Trend – located ~1.5 km to the north of the Lac 50 Trend, the Lac 54 Trend is currently defined by a prospective ~7.5 km long interpreted VLF trend with numerous parallel anomalies. Limited exploration to date has resulted in the identification of multiple mineralized horizons, one of which is included in the Exploration Target Model for resource growth. The Lac 54 Exploration Target Model is based on 8 diamond drill holes totaling 2,144 m, with holes intersecting grades of up to 0.92% U3O8 over 1.0 m. Lac 54 Trend was not included in the 2013 historic mineral resource estimate. The modeled horizon has a strike length of 1.3 km and vertical depth of 180 m (Figures 2a & 2b) and remains open along strike and at depth.
• The Lac 50 Corridor is prospective to host uranium mineralization in excess of the Exploration Target Model for resource growth. The Lac 48, 50, 52, and 54 Trends all remain open along strike and at depth – moreover, the corridor is highly prospective for the discovery of additional parallel mineralized horizons.

ANGILAK 2024 EXPLORATION PROGRAM:

• Completed in late August, the diamond drill phase of the 2024 Angilak Exploration Program comprised 25 drill holes totaling ~10,051 m.
• Lac 50 Trend – The Company successfully expanded the historic footprint of mineralization along strike and at depth, as well as identified new mineralized horizons
  • Lac 50 Deposit – encompassing the Western Extension, Main Zone, Eastern Extension and the J4/Ray. Drilling resulted in the identification of J4 West, a zone of mineralization directly along strike to the west of the J4 Upper Zone. Additionally, the Company successfully expanded all four Domains both along strike and at depth, demonstrating the historic Lac 50 Deposit remains open in all directions. Drilling is highlighted by:
    • Drill hole J4R-DD-085: successfully tested the Ray Zone, J4 Upper and J4 Lower with total composite mineralization of 4.5 m. In the Ray Zone grades of up to 5.85% U3O8 `over 0.5 m were intersected at a shallow depth of 111.8 m. Additionally, in the J4 Upper 2.0 m at 0.56% U3O8 was intersected including 0.5 m at 1.52% U3O8.
    • Drill hole J4R-DD-086: successfully intersected a new shallow horizon of uranium mineralization between 34.0 m and 37.5 m with grades up to 0.64% U3O8 over 0.5 m width. Additionally, the hole increased the down-dip extent of J4 Lower Zone intersecting 2.5 m grading 0.87% U3O8 including 0.5 m grading 3.92% U3O8 at 393.5 m depth. The hole intersected total composite mineralization of 6.0 m.
• During the Angilak 2024 Exploration Program, ATHA identified three parallel mineralized trends, now defined as Lac 48, Lac 52, and Lac 54 Trends.
• Lac 48 Trend – During the 2024 Exploration Program the Company followed up on previous drilling at the Blaze Target completing one hole that successfully intersected shallow high-grade mineralization associated with a new mineralized horizon.
  • Drill hole BLZ-DD-034 successfully intersected total composite mineralization of 2.5 m including grades of up to 0.99% U3O8 over 0.5m at a depth of 94.5 m.
• Lac 52 Trend – During the 2024 Exploration Program a total of 8 holes were completed, resulting in the successful expansion of mineralization at the Pulse and Mushroom Lake Discoveries. Drilling along the Lac 52 Trend is highlighted by:
  • Drill hole PL-DD-030: successfully extended the strike length of the Pulse Discovery by ~144 m southeast, intersected total composite mineralization of 5.5 m including grades of up to 1.33% U3O8 over 1.0 m at a depth of 262.5 m.
• Lac 54 Trend – During the 2024 Exploration Program a total of four holes were drilled - all holes intersected uranium mineralization resulting in the definition of the Hot Discovery.
  • Surficial mapping within the Lac 52 and Lac 54 Trends completed as part of the 2024 Exploration Program further characterized a zone of extensive bedrock outcrop containing structures with increased radioactivity up to >60,000 counts per second (cps) measured with a handheld RS120 scintillometer. This area has not been drill tested to date, and is not included within the 2024 Exploration Target model.
• Drill hole strip logs, inclusive of detailed assays for all drill holes completed during the 2024 Angilak Exploration Program can be found here.

NOVEMBER 2024 ANGILAK PROJECT TECHNICAL REPORT

Understood Mineral Resources Ltd. (UMR) provided ATHA Energy Corp. (ATHA or The Company) ranges for potential uranium quantity and grade as a target for further exploration on Angilak's Lac 50 Deposit. The ranges were derived from a block model approach using interpreted vein wireframes, drill core assays, grade interpolation via Ordinary Kriging, and applied uncertainty bandwidths.

The wireframes were modelled using a grade intercept limit equal to or greater than a minimum grade of 0.01 % U3O8, although lower grades were incorporated in places to maintain continuity and represent the structural setting and continuity of the mineralized system. Extension distance for the mineralized wireframes was halfway to the next hole, or 200 m in areas of no drilling, representing the potential at the deposit.

Assays were composited to 4 metre lengths within the mineralized boundaries, capped at 5% U3O8, and used for variography. The blocks within the wireframes were interpolated with grade values using the composites, variography, ordinary kriging (OK), and a High Yield Limit set at 2.5% U3O8 (50% of search range).

UMR applied an uncertainty bandwidth to define a range for potential uranium using the block model as the midpoint. The well-informed portions of the wireframes with < 50 m drill hole spacing used a bandwidth of ± 5 % tonnes and ± 15 % metal content. An uncertainty bandwidth of ± 10 % tonnes and ± 30 % metal content was used for the remaining wireframes with drill hole spacing greater than 50 m. The stated potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature, and there has not been sufficient exploration to define a mineral resource, and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.

Historical Mineral Resource Estimates

All mineral resources estimates presented in this news release are considered to be “historical estimates” as defined under NI 43-101, and have been derived from the following (See notes below). In each instance, the historical estimate is reported using the categories of mineral resources and mineral reserves as defined by the CIM Definition Standards for Mineral Reserves, and mineral reserves at that time, and these “historical estimates” are not considered by ATHA to be current. In each instance, the reliability of the historical estimate is considered reasonable, but a Qualified Person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as a current mineral resource, and ATHA is not treating the historical estimate as a current mineral resource. The historical information provides an indication of the exploration potential of the properties but may not be representative of expected results.

Notes on the Historical Mineral Resource Estimate for the Angilak Deposit:

1. This estimate is considered to be a “historical estimate” under NI 43-101 and is not considered by any of to be current. See below for further details regarding the historical mineral resource estimate for the Angilak Property.
   1. Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
   2. The estimate of mineral resources may be materially affected by geology, environment, permitting, legal, title, taxation, sociopolitical, marketing or other relevant issues.
   3. The quality and grade of the reported inferred resource in this estimation are uncertain in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define these inferred resources as an indicated or measured mineral resource, and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in upgrading them to an indicated or measured resource category.
   4. Contained value metals may not add due to rounding.
   5. A 0.2% U3O8 cut-off was used.
   6. The mineral resource estimate contained in this press release is considered to be “historical estimates” as defined under NI 43-101 and is not considered to be current.
   7. The “historical estimate” is derived from a Technical Report entitled “Technical Report and Resource Update For The Angilak Property, Kivalliq Region, Nunavut, Canada”, prepared by Michael Dufresne, M.Sc., P.Geol. of APEX Geosciences, Robert Sim, B.Sc., P.Geo. of SIM Geological Inc. and Bruce Davis, Ph.D., FAusIMM of BD Resource Consulting Inc., dated March 1, 2013 for ValOre Metals Corp.
   8. As disclosed in the above noted technical report, the historical estimate was prepared under the direction of Robert Sim, P.Geo, with the assistance of Dr. Bruce Davis, FAusIMM, and consists of three-dimensional block models based on geostatistical applications using commercial mine planning software. The project limits area based in the UTM coordinate system (NAD83 Zone14) using nominal block sizes measuring 5x5x5m at Lac Cinquante and 5x3x3 m (LxWxH) at J4. Grade (assay) and geological information is derived from work conducted by Kivalliq during the 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 field seasons. A thorough review of all the 2013 resource information and drill data by a Qualified Person, along with the incorporation of subsequent exploration work and results, which includes some drilling around the edges of the historical resource subsequent to the publication of the 2013 technical report, would be required in order to verify the Angilak Property historical estimate as a current mineral resource.
   9. The historical mineral resource estimate was calculated in accordance with NI 43-101 and CIM standards at the time of publication and predates the current CIM Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (May, 2014) and CIM Estimation of Mineral Resources & Mineral Reserves Best Practices Guidelines (November, 2019).
   10. A thorough review of all historical data performed by a Qualified Person, along with additional exploration work to confirm results would be required to produce a current mineral resource estimate prepared in accordance with NI 43-101.
2. Notes on the Historical Mineral Resource Estimate for the Moran Lake Deposit:
   1. Jeffrey A. Morgan, P.Geo. and Gary H. Giroux, P.Eng. completed a NI 43-101 technical report titled “Form 43-101F1 Technical Report on the Central Mineral Belt (CMB) Uranium Project, Labrador, Canada, Prepared for Crosshair Exploration & Mining Corp.” and dated July 31, 2008, with an updated mineral resource estimate for the Moran Lake C-Zone along with initial mineral resources for the Armstrong and Area 1 deposits. They modelled three packages in the Moran Lake Upper C-Zone (the Upper C Main, Upper C Mylonite, and Upper C West), Moran Lake Lower C-Zone, two packages in Armstrong (Armstrong Z1 and Armstrong Z3), and Trout Pond. These mineral resources are based on 3D block models with ordinary kriging used to interpolate grades into 10 m x 10 m x 4 m blocks. A cut-off grade of 0.015% U3O8 was used for all zones other than the Lower C Zone which employed a cut-off grade of 0.035%. A thorough review of all historical data performed by a Qualified Person, along with additional exploration work to confirm results, would be required to produce a current mineral resource estimate prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 standards.
3. Notes on the Historical Mineral Resource Estimate for the Anna Lake Deposit:
   1. The mineral resource estimate contained in this table is considered to be a “historical estimate” as defined under NI 43-101, and is not considered to be current and is not being treated as such. A Qualified Person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources. A qualified person would need to review and verify the scientific information and conduct an analysis and reconciliation of historical drill and geological data in order to verify the historical estimate as a current mineral resource.
   2. Reported by Bayswater Uranium Corporation in a Technical Report entitled “Form 43-101 Technical Report on the Anna Lake Uranium Project, Central Mineral Belt, Labrador, Canada”, prepared by R. Dean Fraser, P.Geo. and Gary H. Giroux, P.Eng., dated September 30, 2009.
   3. A 3-dimensional geologic model of the deposit was created for the purpose of the resource estimate using the Gemcom/Surpac modeling software. A solid model was created using a minimum grade x thickness cutoff of 3 meters grading 0.03% U3O8. Intersections not meeting this cutoff were generally not incorporated into the model. The shell of this modeled zone was then used to constrain the mineralization for the purpose of the block model. Assay composites 2.5 meters in length that honoured the mineralized domains were used to interpolate grades into blocks using ordinary kriging. An average specific gravity of 2.93 was used to convert volumes to tonnes. The specific gravity data was acquired in-house and consisted of an average of seventeen samples collected from the mineralised section of the core. The resource was classified into Measured, Indicated or Inferred using semi-variogram ranges applied to search ellipses. All resources estimated at Anna Lake fall under the “Inferred” category due to the wide spaced drill density. An exploration program would need to be conducted, including twinning of historical drill holes in order to verify the Anna Lake Project estimate as a current mineral resource.
