Atomic Minerals Pauses Drilling at Harts Point Uranium

Project, Utah

Vancouver, British Columbia, August 18, 2023 – Atomic Minerals Corporation ("ATOMIC

MINERALS" or the "Company") (TSX Venture: ATOM) announces that the Company has

temporarily paused the Phase I drill program at the Harts Point Uranium Property (“Harts Point” or

the “Property”) in San Juan County, southeast Utah, at the request of the Bureau of Land Management

(the “BLM”).

The Company anticipates being able to re-commence exploration at Harts Point shortly and remains

committed to keeping shareholders up to date with the latest developments as it continues to explore this

highly prospective region.

Qualified Person

Mr. R. Tim Henneberry, P.Geo. (BC), is the "Qualified Person" under National Instrument 43-101

Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") and is responsible for the technical contents

of this news release and has approved the disclosure of the technical information contained herein.

About the Harts Point Property

Harts Point is located in the center of the Colorado Plateau, referred to by some as “the Athabasca Basin

of the US” and is 64 kilometers (“km”) (40 miles) north of the White Mesa Uranium Mill, the only fully

licensed and operating conventional uranium mill in the United States. The Property consists of 324 lode

mining claims on Bureau of Land Management ground that covers an area of 2,622 hectares (“ha”)

(6,480 acres) with drill permits in place for up to 13 exploration drill holes.

Atomic Minerals has granted Kraken Energy the right to earn a 65% interest in Harts Point. Kraken

Energy must complete US$1.5 million in exploration expenditures within 18 months and a further 10%

interest to 75% by completing a further US2.0 million in exploration expenditures and issuing 2 million

shares to Atomic Minerals within the next 30 months. Atomic Minerals retains a 2% Net Smelter Return

Royalty which can be reduced to 1% through a US$5 million payment. Upon completion of 65% or 75%

interest, a joint venture will be formed.
