First American Uranium Inc. Completes Acquisition of Rare Earth

Elements Niobium Properties in the Grenville Province, Quebec

Vancouver, BC, October 16, 2025 – First American Uranium Inc. (CSE: URM) (FSE: IOR)

(OTCPK: FAUMF) (“First American Uranium” , or the “Company”) is pleased to announce

that, further to its news release dated Oct ober 7, 2025, it has completed the acquisition (the

“Acquisition”) of a 100% legal and beneficial interest in certain mineral properties comprising a

strategic land package in the Gren ville Province of Quebec (the “ Properties”), pursuant to the

terms of a property purchase agreement (the “ Agreement”) dated October 6, 2025, among the

Company and a group of arm’s length vendors (the “Vendors”).

Under the terms of the Agreement, the Vendors transferred to the Company a 100% interest in the

Properties, free and clear of all encumbrances. As consideration, the Company issued an aggregate

of 4,020,000 common shares (the “Consideration Shares”) at a deemed issuance price of $0.85

per Consideration Share to the Vendors upon closing. The Consideration Shares will be allocated

among the Vendors in varying amount s, corresponding to their respec tive ownership interests in

the Properties.

The Consideration Shares will be issued pursuant to exemptions from the prospectus requirements

of applicable Canadian securities laws and will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months

and one day from the date of issuance.

This Acquisition marks First American Uranium’s initial entry into Quebec, regarded as a mining-

friendly jurisdiction, with the Properties located in the Grenville Province – a region that the

Company believes is recognized for its elevated number of rare earth elements (“REE”), niobium

(“Nb”), and nickel-copper (“Ni-Cu”) occurrences.

The Properties host multiple high-priority showings, including;

 Blanchette-1 (REE & Ni-Cu): A grab sample collected by Quebec government geologists

returned 2.7% Total Rare Earth Elements (TREE), including 4,090 ppm neodymium (Nd).

On this same outcrop, A nickel-copper quart z vein sample returned 0.25% Cu and 0.1%

Ni, hosted in a highly deformed paragneiss associated with gabbro boudins.

 Blanchette-2 (REE): A grab sample collected by Quebec government geologists returned

0.17% Total Rare Earth Elements (TREE), including notable concentrations of Ce and Nd,

as well as elevated Zr, Nb, Th, and Y.

 Bardy (REE): A grab sample collected by Quebec government geologists returned 0.68%

TREE, including 1,150 ppm Nd, hosted in a granitic pegmatite 40cms to 4m wide.

 Seigneurie Deposit (Nb-REE) : Originally drilled by SOQU EM in 1978, the area hosts

pegmatites up to 50 metres wide, which remain largely unexplored and unassayed for REE

and Nb. In 2010, a local prospector collected grab samples, one of which returned 3,190

ppm Nb and 4,031 ppm Total Rare Earth Elements (TREE).

In addition to the 39 claims covering 2,240 hectares acquired under the Agreement, the Company

has separately staked an additional 480 cla ims covering 27,696 hectares in and around the

Properties. Collectively, this land package now totals 519 claims covering 29,936 hectares.

Niobium and rare earth elements ar e critical for applications in defense and aerospace, including

jet engine superalloys, hypersonic missile systems, rocket nozzles, and advanced super conducting

technologies such as qubits fo r quantum computing. Securing thes e resources in stable, North

American jurisdictions is incr easingly important as governments work to strengthen domestic

supply chains.

Though the Company has not directly applied for any specific funding programs or grants, it

intends to explore non-dilutive funding opportunities with agencies such as the U.S Department of

Energy, Department of Defense, and Export-Impor t Bank of the United States (EXIM). These

opportunities could help accelerate development in alignment with U.S critical mineral policies

and support the Company’s potential contribution to U.S defense and energy security initiatives.

“This acquisition marks an important step for our company as we look to deliver critical minerals

and rare earth elements supply into North America,” said Murray Nye, Chief Executive Officer of

First American Uranium. “These Grenville Provin ce Properties allow us to extend our strategy

into the critical minerals space in a time where the need to secure domestic supply chains has never

been greater. Our team is excited to work with all stakeholders to advance the exploration and

development of these assets and bring to market a critical minerals company for Canada.”

The Acquisition strategically expands the Comp any’s exploration portf olio within a highly

prospective region of the Grenville Province. The addition of these assets is expected to strengthen

the Company’s growth pipeline, enhance its regional presence, and create long-term opportunities

for shareholder value through ongoing exploration and development.

October 7, 2025, available under the Company’s profile on www.sedarplus.ca.
