F4 Hits Intersects Graphitic Structures at
Wales Lake
Completes 2 drillholes totaling 655m
Kelowna, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 5, 2025) -
F4 Uranium Corp (TSXV: FFU)
("
F4
"
or "
the Company
") is pleased to announce the completion of its maiden drill program on the Wales
Lake Project, located approximately 28km southwest of Nexgen Energy's Arrow deposit and 20 km
southwest of Paladin's Triple R uranium deposit. A total of 655 metres were drilled in
2 completed
drillholes
with
both intersecting clear conductor targets
, and drillhole
WL25-003 greatly
expanded the graphitic corridor by 2km
, with
multiple graphitic structures intersected
. The
program validates F4's approach of thoroughly modeled ground electromagnetic (EM) conductors over
areas with enhanced airborne conductivity. The Wales Project is 100% owned by F4 and currently
contains approximately 150 VTEM conductors totaling approximately 130 km in strike length. Only 3
conductor trends have been drill tested, a testament to the size and potential of the Project.
Highlights:
WL25-003 targeted the graphitic structure intersected in WL18-001, approximately 2km along strike to
the east of the historic hole which intersected 21 ppm U over 0.5m. Three discrete graphitic conductive
zones were intersected between 116.9m-320.5 m, varying from structurally hosted disseminated
graphite and sulfides along with patchy hematite alteration, to pervasively graphite altered faults.
WL25-004 was collared at a previously untested area targeting a newly interpreted conductor plate
model. The hole intersected graphite and sulfide alteration within a strongly fractured zone from 196.6m -
203.7m, in addition to an lower zone of disseminated graphite and sulfides between 239.8m - 253.2m.
Geochemical results from the 97 drill core samples collected will be incorporated into the Wales Project
database, along with yet-to-come airborne VTEM Plus survey results (see Figure 1, and NR June 30,
2025) to advance understanding of the property and continue target development for basement hosted
uranium mineralization on this under explored project. Priority next steps will include additional ground
EM over conductive areas, including areas expected to be identified with the VTEM Plus survey.
F4's
Wales Lake Project, along with Clearwater West and Todd Lake, highlight F4's western Athabasca area
portfolio in this immerging uranium district.
Sam Hartmann P.Geo, President and COO, commented:
"F4 is pleased to have completed its first drill program at Wales Lake; a very large project, with very little
historic work, and 100% owned. Our initial approach of drill testing VTEM and ground electromagnetic
conductors is validated, with both holes intersecting conductive lithologies including graphite — exactly
where modeled. The next step is going to be incorporating the remainder of the VTEM data which we
just flew, see Figure 1, and then start prioritizing specific target locations along these structures — areas
where enhanced hydrothermal alteration might be expected — as we hunt for the next uranium deposit."
About Wales Lake:
F4 Uranium's 40,113-hectare Wales Lake Project consists of the Wales Lake East and Wales Lake
West properties, both 100% owned, permitted and drill ready with strong airborne and ground conductor
targets. Significantly underexplored with only two historic drillholes, the Wales Lake Project is located
just outside of the Southwestern Athabasca Basin within 25km of Paladin's Triple R and Nexgen
Energy's Arrow deposits. A series of recent discoveries including F3 Uranium's JR and Tetra Zones,
Nexgen Energy's PCE occurrence, and Paladin Energy's Saloon area further highlight the uranium
discovery potential near the Southwestern Athabasca Basin.
Wales Lake is accessed by Provincial Highway 955, which transects the property.

About F4 Uranium Corp:
F4 Uranium is a Canadian uranium exploration company focused on the Athabasca Basin in northern
Saskatchewan, and the latest uranium explorer, lead by the same management and exploration team
with a legacy of discovery successes. The project portfolio includes 17 wholly owned properties totaling
roughly 157,000 ha, many of which are near uranium deposits including Paladin's Triple R,
Nexgen
Energy's Arrow and IsoEnergy's Hurricane projects. The assets were spun out of F3 Uranium in 2024,
where the technical and management team made their third, and more recently fourth uranium
discoveries at Patterson Lake North and Broach Lake. F4's core focus will be split between the west
and east sides of the Athabasca Basin as the company is establishing itself as an explorer and project
generator providing shareholders renewed exposure at an early stage.
