Bedford Metals to Acquire Cable Lake Uranium Project, Expanding Ubiquity Lake Project
LEGAL*67512551.6
NEWS RELEASE
BEDFORD METALS TO ACQUIRE CABLE LAKE URANIUM PROJECT, EXPANDING UBIQUITY LAKE PROJECT
February 26 th, 2025— Bedford Metals Corp. (TSX-V: BFM, FWB: O8D, ISIN: CA0762301012) (the
“Company” or “Bedford”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement, dated February
24, 2025, with Northern Lights Exploration Corp. (“NLE”), and the sole shareholder of NLE (the “Vendor”),
pursuant to which the Company proposes to acquire (the “ Acquisition”) all of the outstanding share
capital of NLE. NLE is the holder of the Cable Lake Uranium Project, comprised of an 8,056 hectare area
adjoining the Company’s Sheppard and Ubiquity Lake claims to the north. With this Acquisition, the
Company will control an aggregate of 13,092 hectares of prospective ground in the highly prospective
Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan.
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 Bedfords' 2024 exploration program
uncovered several radioactive anomalies.
Pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition, the Company proposes to acquire all of the outstanding share
capital of NLE in consideration for the issuance of 1,000,000 common shares of the Company to the
Vendor. In addition, the Vendor will receive the right to acquire 2,500,000 common shares, for total
consideration of $1.00, in the event the Company successfully recovers a radioactive sample from the
Cable Lake claims equal to or greater than 0.10%, provided that such event occurs prior to December 31,
2027. The Company is at arms-length from the Vendor and NLE. No finders’ fees or commissions are
payable by the Company in connection with the Acquisition. Completion of the Acquisition remains
subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and the satisfaction of customary closing deliveries.
Peter Born, President of Bedford, commented, “We are excited about the Acquisition of the Cable Lake
Uranium Project. This Acquisition will significantly expands the Ubiquity Lake project area and will add a
highly prospective land package with strong geophysical signatures. The fact that this project directly
adjoins our existing claims makes it a natural and strategic addition to our portfolio. We look forward to
integrating this new ground into our exploration plans as we continue working towards a 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
LEGAL*67512551.6
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 and in collaboration with local indigenous communities and stakeholders. The company
prioritizes sustainability and responsible resource development to ensure mutually beneficial
relationships with the communities in which it operates.
