NOBLE PLAINS URANIUM SECURES DUCK CREEK PROJECT IN HEART OF POWDER RIVER BASIN URANIUM DISTRICT Over 4,000 Historic Drill Holes Outline 3-Mile Uranium Trend in One of America’s Most Prolific ISR Districts
NOBLE PLAINS URANIUM SECURES DUCK CREEK PROJECT IN HEART OF
POWDER RIVER BASIN URANIUM DISTRICT
Over 4,000 Historic Drill Holes Outline 3-Mile Uranium Trend in
One of America’s Most Prolific ISR Districts
June 19, 2025 – Vancouver, British Columbia – Noble Plains Uranium Corp. (TSX-V: NOBL, OTCQB: NBLXF,
FSE: INEN) (“Noble Plains” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a property
option agreement to acquire an 80% interest in the Duck Creek Project (“Duck Creek Property”, “Duck
Creek”, the “Project”, or the “Property”), a strategically located brownfield uranium asset in Wyoming’s
highly productive Powder River Basin.
The Project spans 4,133 acres (6.5 square miles) of mineral rights and is directly surrounded by a cluster
of major in-situ recovery (“ ISR”) uranium resources and operations —including those held by Uranium
Energy Corp., Cameco Corporation, and GTI Energy Limited (see Figure 1). These neighboring operations,
together with the Project's dense historical drill coverage and shallow roll -front mineralization, strongly
support the prospectivity and strategic value of Duck Creek.
“Duck Creek sits in the heart of a proven uranium district and is backed by an enormous amount of
historical drilling, giving us high confidence in the geological potential,” said Drew Zimmerman, President
of Noble Plains. “This is exactly the kind of brownfield project we target—shallow mineralization, extensive
data, and near existing infrastructure. It aligns with our goal of building out pounds in the ground quickly
and efficiently to provide shareholders real leverage to the uranium market.”
The Property includes 78 lode mining claims (1,573 acres) and four State of Wyoming mineral leases (2,560
acres). Importantly, the Project hosts a 3 -mile-long corridor of high -density drilling completed by Kerr -
McGee Nuclear Corporation in the 1970s. A total of 4,068 historical drill holes outline a consistent, shallow
roll-front uranium system within the Eocene-aged Wasatch Formation, with mineralization occurring from
less than 50 feet to 260 feet below surface. Surface features also show evidence of hist oric open -pit
production from these same mineralized zones (see Figure 2).
“The Powder River Basin is reasserting its importance as a centre of U.S. uranium production,” added Paul
Cowley, CEO of Noble Plains. “Our review of the historic dataset for Duck Creek confirmed not only the
continuity of near-surface mineralization, but also significant upside in deeper, underexplored intervals.
It’s a rare combination of near-term development potential and meaningful exploration upside.”

A National Instrument 43 -101 (“NI 43-101”) technical report is nearing completion and will present an
exploration target of pounds of uranium based on the historical drilling, prepared by an independent
Qualified Person. Noble Plains has spent the last two months conducting a detailed review of the drillhole
database and modeling key mineralized zones, and the Company is confident in both the data quality and
the resource potential. Confirmation drilling is planned for later this year to advance the Project toward
an initial NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate.
Strategic Context
Wyoming has produced over 2 38 million pounds of uranium since the 1950s , with the Powder River
Basin(the “PRB”) representing a key district in that legacy of production . With ISR now the dominant
extraction method in the PRB and Wyoming overall, Duck Creek represents a low-impact, low-cost path to
resource development. ISR mining allows for faster permitting, minimal surface disturbance, and lower
capital and operating costs—aligned with Noble Plains’ strategy of environmentally responsible uran ium
development.
The addition of Duck Creek significantly strengthens Noble Plains’ Wyoming portfolio, following the
Company’s recent acquisitions in the Shirley Basin, including the Shirley Central project announced earlier
this month (see news release dated June 3, 2025).
Terms of Transaction
The Company has entered into a property option agreement (the “ Agreement”) effective June 13, 2025,
with a private vendor (the “Optionor”) pursuant to which the Company can acquire an 80% interest in the
Duck Creek Property over three years.
Pursuant to the Agreement and within seven days of TSX Venture Exchange approval, the Company will
(a) pay US$250,000 to the Optionor; (b) reimburse the Optionor staking costs and Bureau of Land
Management fees; and (c) issue 1,250,000 shares of Noble Plains (“Shares”) to the Optionor. On or before
the first anniversary of the Agreement, the Company will (a) pay a further US$300,000 to the Optionor,
and (b) issue 1,500,000 Shares to the Optionor (or pay US$200,000 to the Optionor at the Optionor’s
option). On or before the second a nniversary of the Agreement, the Company will (a) pay a further
US$450,000 to the Optionor, and (b) issue 1,500,000 Shares to the Optionor (or pay US$300,000 to the
Optionor at the Optionor’s option). On or before the third anniversary of the Agreement, the Company
will (a) pay US$500,000 to the Optionor, and (b) issue 1,250,00 0 Shares to the Optionor (or pay
US$400,000 to the Optionor at the Option ee’s option), at which time a joint venture will be created on a
80:20 ratio, subject to a 1% net smelter royalty retained by the Optionor. The Duck Creek Property option
transaction requires acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange prior to closing.
No finder’s fees are being paid in connection with the Duck Creek Property transaction and the Shares to
be issued pursuant to the Agreement will be subject to the statutory hold period of four months from the
date of issuance in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws. The Shares have not been and
will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”), or any
state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold within the United States except in compliance with
the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or pursuant to
available exemptions therefrom.
