Atomic Minerals Announces LOI To Acquire an Historical
Resource of 620,000 LBS Uranium in Northern Saskatchewan
Vancouver, British Columbia, February 5, 2024 – Atomic Minerals Corporation ("ATOMIC
MINERALS" or the "Company") (TSX Venture: ATOM) is pleased to announce it has signed an
LOI on February 2, 2024, with an arm’s length vendor to acquire an extensive uranium land package,
consisting of 9 properties totaling just under 6,500 hectares, within and very close proximity to the
Athabasca Basin in Northern Saskatchewan. Two of the projects lie proximally or close to known
deposits and a third hosts a 1957 historic resource. Highlights from the property package include:
• Bleasdell Lake – host to a 1957 historic resource of 620,700 pounds of U3O8 contained within
two zones.
• Parks Lake – 3 km to SE of historic Rabbit Lake Mine and 2 km to 4km E to NE of Uranium
Energy Corp.’s Horseshoe and Raven deposits.
• Pistol Lake – completely surrounded by Cameco and 600 metres north of their Sand Lake
deposit.
The 1957 Bleasdell Lake historic resource was disclosed in a Shareholder Report for Columbia Metals
Exploration Co. Ltd. dated November 9, 1957. There is no technical report. The historic resource is relevant to
the potential of the Bleasdell Lake property and is reliable as it was calculated to the standards of the day. The
estimate was based on closely spaced shallow drill holes and more widely spaced deeper drill holes. The
calculations, methods or parameters were not disclosed in the Shareholder Report. The res ource would be
comparable to a current inferred resource. There are no more recent estimates though subsequent geologists
visited the property in the 1960’s and 1970’s, confirming the showings and the drilling was completed. The
Company will need to twin a significant number of the historic drill holes to upgrade or verify the historical
estimate as current mineral resources.
A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as a current mineral
resource. Therefore, Atomic Minerals is not treating the historical estimate as a current mineral
resource.
"With this Saskatchewan acquisition, Atomic Minerals now holds significant land positions in the two
largest producing North American uranium districts, the Athabasca Basin and the Colorado Plateau"
commented Atomic Minerals CEO Clive Massey. "While the Bleasdell Lake historic resource may turn
out to be the jewel, both Parks Lake and Pistol Lake hold significant exploration potential given Pistol
Lake is mere meters away from Cameco’s 5,000,000 pound *Sand Lake discovery" he continued. "Our
technical team is currently reviewing the data rooms for the various projects with the objective of
generating drill targets for near term diamond drilling," he concluded.

Terms of the Acquisition
The Company purchased the 9-property package from an arm’s length vendor in exchange for the
following:
• A payment of $100,000 within five days of TSX Venture Exchange approval
• Issuance of 6 million shares of the Company within five days of TSX Venture Exchange approval
• A second payment of $100,000 on the 6-month anniversary of TSX Venture Exchange approval
There is no Net Smelter Return Royalty associated with any of the 9 properties.
A brief summary of each of the 9 properties is as follows:
Bleasdell Lake lies to the east of the Athabasca Basin, 95 kilometres southwest of Lynn Lake, Manitoba.
Exploration in the late 1950’s discovered two uranium bearing pegmatite dykes on the west shore of
Bleasdell Lake. The 400 metre Horn Zone hosted zones of 90 metres of 0.12% U3O8 over 2.56 metres
and 0.062% U3O8 over 1.21 metres, while drill width intersections over the entire 400 metre ranged from
0.091% U3O8 over 1.86 metres to 0.2025% U3O8 over 2.99 metres. There is little information on the
Jackpine Zone located 450 metres along strike to the northwest. The sampling, trenching and diamond
drilling defined a 1957 historic resource of 620,700 pounds of U3O8 contained within two zones.
The 1957 Bleasdell Lake historic resource was disclosed in a Shareholder Report for Columbia Metals
Exploration Co. Ltd. dated November 9, 1957. There is no techncial report. The historic resource is relevant to
the potential of the Bleasdell Lake property and is reliable as it was calculated to the standards of the day. The

Company will need to twin a significant number of the historic drill holes to upgrade or verify the historical
estimate as current mineral resources.

A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as a current mineral
resource. Therefore, Atomic Minerals is not treating the historical estimate as a current mineral
resource.

Parks Lake lies in a highly prospective area on the eastern side of the Athabasca Basin, 3 km to SE of
historic Rabbit Lake Mine and 2 km to 4km E to NE of Uranium Energy Corp.’s Horseshoe and Raven
deposits. Parks Lake is completely surrounded by majors, with Uranium Energy bordering to the west
and south and Cameco bordering to the east and north. Conductors appear to trend from Uranium
Energy’s land onto the Parks Lake property, suggesting a high priority target.

Pistol Lake also lies in a highly prospective area on the eastern side of the Athabasca Basin and is
completely surrounded by Cameco. The Cameco Sand Lake Uranium Deposit lies 600 metres from the
southern claim boundary. Recent drilling has been undertaken on most of the nearby claims according
to the property vendor, suggesting conductors that appear to trend onto the Pistol Lake property are high
priority targets.

Carswell Lake lies in the Cluff Meteorie Crater approximately 15 kilometres to the north of the Cluff
Lake Mine. Carswell Lake hosts an historic showing and three historic drill holes and is completed
surrounded by Uranium Energy Corp. Four historic showings have been documented in the provincial
mineral inventory database.
Two other clams lie in the same area as Carswell Lake. Tuma Lake covers an aeromagnetic anomaly
approximately 10 kilometres to the northeast of Carswell Lake. Big Sardine is contiguous to Tuma Lake
and lies along a significant fault system.
Baby Loon Lake lies to the south of the eastern side of the Athabasca Basin and covers two historic
uranium showings near the Needle Falls Shear Zone. Astleford Lake is contiguous to the south and
covers the potential strike extension of the zone.
Archie Lake lies contiguous to north, east and west to NexGen Energy, in the southwest edge of the
Athabasca Basin. The assessment records need to be reviewed for conductors within the property, prior
to the initiation of 2024 exploration.
Atomic Minerals is committed to responsibly advancing these projects with a focused exploration
strategy aimed at uncovering the full potential of these assets. The Company's dedication to sustainable
practices, community engagement, and ethical exploration will drive the development of these projects,
reinforcing Atomic Minerals' position as a leader in the uranium exploration sector.
The data disclosed in this news release are related to historical exploration and drilling results. Atomic
has not undertaken any independent investigation of the sampling, nor has it independently analyzed the
results of the historical exploration work in order to verify the results. Atomic considers these historical
exploration and drill results relevant as the company is using these data as a guide to plan exploration
programs. The Company's current and future exploration work includes verification of the historical
data through sampling and drilling.
