Atomic Minerals Corp. Options Hamilton Lake and Mitchell

Lake in Athabasca Basin and Changes Auditor

Vancouver, British Columbia, February 1, 2023 –Atomic Minerals Corporation ("ATOMIC

MINERALS" or the "Company") (TSX Venture: ATOM) is pleased to announce it has entered into

an option agreement for the Hamilton Lake Uranium Project (“Hamilton Lake”) and the Mitchell Lake

Uranium Project ( “Mitchell Lake ”) located in Canada’s Athabasca Basin from two arm’s length

vendors (the “Property Vendors”).

Hamilton Lake consists of 2,972 hectares and lies approximately 45 kilometres northeast of Uranium

City, Saskatchewan. Mitchell Lake consists of 292 hectares and lies approximately 660 kilometres north

of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, and west of Wolliston Lake on the western edge of the Athabasca Basin.

Atomic Minerals President & CEO Clive Massey commented, “We are very excited about adding two

more highly prospective projects to our growing portfolio , as we continue to mitigate our exploration

risk. With momentum in the green energy sector continu ing to build, uranium is the on ly sensible and

cost-effective solution for the looming worldwide power shortage and with the pledge at COP26 to phase

out coal for power generation, the best alternative is nuclear power.”

About the Mitchell Lake Project

The Mitchell Lake Project lies in the eastern Athabasca Basin, contiguous to UEX Corporations West

Bear property. Historic exploration has identified a major +10km linear EM anomaly associated with a

NE trending regional structure. The southern end of the anomaly lies along the southern boundary of the

Mitchell property with ground EM also highlighting linear splay structures trending well into the

property.

About the Hamilton Lake Project

The Hamilton Lake Project lies in the Beaverlodge District of northern Saskatchewan, contigu ous to

Appia Rare Earths & Uranium Corp. Alces Lake property. The claims are underlain by intrusives,

metasediment and mylonites and lie along the regional St. Louis Fault. Historic airborne EM surveys

have located linear EM anomalies associated with the fault in the immediate area of a splay fault.

Transaction Terms

Under the terms of the Agreement, Atomic may acquire a 100% ownership interest in the Mitchell Lake

and Hamilton Lake projects by issuing the vendors 6,000,000 shares upon TSX Venture Exchange
