Bedford Metals Announces Successful Closing of Acquisition of Cable Lake Uranium Project, Expanding Ubiquity Lake Project
NEWS RELEASE
BEDFORD METALS ANNOUNCES SUCCESSFUL CLOSING OF ACQUISITION OF CABLE LAKE URANIUM
PROJECT, EXPANDING UBIQUITY LAKE PROJECT
March 7th, 2025—Bedford Metals Corp. (TSX-V: BFM, FWB: O8D, ISIN: CA0762301012) (the “ Company”
or “ Bedford”) is pleased to announce the successful closing of the acquisition (the “ Acquisition”) of
Northern Lights Exploration Corp. (“NLE”). NLE is the holder of the Cable Lake Uranium Project, and with
this Acquisition, the Company now controls an aggregate of 13,092 hectares of prospective ground in the
highly promising Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan.
The Cable Lake property, covering an area of 8,056 hectares, adjoins the Company’s Sheppard and
Ubiquity Lake claims to the north. The Cable Lake claims host over 22 kilometers of electromagnetic (EM)
anomalies situated within relative magnetic lows— a geophysical signature commonly associated with
uranium deposits in the Athabasca Basin. Notably, a 2007 GEOTEM (airborne magnetic and
electromagnetic) survey conducted by Fugro identified an area of interest (ROI 5) just north of Warr Lake,
where Bedford’s 2024 exploration program uncovered several radioactive anomalies.
Pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition, Bedford acquired all of the outstanding share capital of NLE in
consideration for the issuance of 1,000,000 common shares of Bedford to the sole shareholder of NLE
(the “Vendor”). Additionally, the Vendor has been granted the right to acquire 2,500,000 common shares
for total consideration of $1.00, contingent upon Bedford successfully recovering a radioactive sample
from the Cable Lake claims equal to or greater than 0.10% U₃O₈ prior to December 31, 2027. The Company
is at arm's length from the Vendor and NLE, and no finders' fees or commissions were payable in
connection with the Acquisition.
Peter Born, President of Bedford, commented, “We are thrilled to have successfully closed the acquisition
of the Cable Lake Uranium Project. This acquisition significantly expands our Ubiquity Lake project area
and enhances our portfolio with highly prospective ground. The strong geophysical signatures identified
at Cable Lake are very encouraging, and we are eager to begin integrating this new ground into our
exploration plans as we advance our goal of making a significant uranium discovery.”
With the addition of the Cable Lake Uranium Project, Bedford will be updating its exploration plan to
incorporate this newly acquired prospective ground. The Company will refine its targeting efforts using
historical geophysical data, modern exploration techniques, and the findings from its 2024 exploration
programs to prioritize high-potential areas for further investigation. Further details on the exploration
plans for the expanded project area will be provided as they are finalized.
Bedford remains committed to conducting all exploration activities in an environmentally responsible
manner. The company prioritizes sustainability and responsible resource development while ensuring that
all operations are conducted transparently and in collaboration with local indigenous communities and
stakeholders.
