Atomic Minerals Corp. Applauds BC Conservative Party's Bold

Nuclear Energy Platform

Vancouver, British Columbia, October 17, 2024 – Atomic Minerals Corporation ("ATOMIC

MINERALS" or the "Company") (TSX Venture: ATOM) is pleased to express its strong support for

the energy platform announced by the Conservative Party of British Columbia, which promotes nuclear

energy as a key component of BC's future energy mix. The plan, unveiled by Party Leader John Rustad,

outlines the Party’s intention to amend the Clean Energy Act to include nuclear power and support the

deployment of small modular reactors (SMRs) by 2035.

The Conservative Party’s platform highlights the importance of diversifying BC's energy portfolio to

include nuclear power as a sustainable and low-carbon option. This approach aligns closely with Atomic

Minerals' strategic focus on uranium exploration and supports the broader adoption of nuclear energy to

meet growing energy demands while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Clive Massey, CEO of Atomic Minerals, praised the Conservative Party's energy strategy, stating, "We

commend the Conservative Party of British Columbia and John Rustad for their forward -thinking

approach to addressing the province's energy needs. The inclusion of nuclear energy in the platform

reflects a responsible, long-term strategy that recognizes the critical role uranium will play in the

transition to a cleaner energy future." 1

John Rustad, Leader of the Conservative Party of British Columbia, remarked, “British Columbians

need a government that puts them first, not radical policies that jeopardize our energy future. The

Conservative Party will make sure BC has the power it needs—affordable, reliable, and homegrown.

It’s time for leadership that’s willing to face reality and take action to secure our energy future.”

“It’s time for an honest conversation about where our energy is going to come from,” he said. “British

Columbians deserve the truth, not empty promises. The reality is, we cannot rely solely on renewable

energy sources to meet our future needs, especially with the government forcing electrification mandates

without a clear plan to increase power supply.”
