Cosa Resources Announces Expansion of its
100% Owned Orion Uranium Property in the
Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 5, 2023) -
Cosa Resources Corp.
(
CSE:
COSA
) (
OTCQB:
COSAF
) (
FSE: SSKU
) ("
Cosa
" or the "
Company
") is pleased to announce the
expansion of its 100% owned Orion Property in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan ("
Orion
" or the
"
Property
"). Additionally, the Company announces that it has entered into a market-making agreement
with Generation IACP ("
GIACP
") pursuant to which GIACP has agreed to provide certain market-making
services to the Company in accordance with the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange ("
CSE
").
Highlights
Orion expanded to 9000 hectares with two new claims totalling 5119 hectares
Over 10 kilometres of additional prospective magnetic low strike length acquired via low-cost
staking
Orion expansion area covers the interpreted southern extension of the Larocque uranium corridor,
host to the Hurricane deposit and Alligator Lake and Larocque Lake uranium zones
Keith Bodnarchuk, President & CEO, commented:
"Our technical team continues to deliver in a highly
competitive staking environment. Land in the Athabasca Basin is at a premium and adding over 10
kilometres of a prospective trend is a win for our team. Year to date, we have added more than 73,000
hectares of land, and our entire portfolio remains 100% owned."
Andy Carmichael, VP of Exploration commented:
"We are pleased to have more than doubled the
prospective magnetic low strike length contained by our 100% owned Orion property. As with the
original Orion claim, this ground is highly underexplored and is prospective for uranium exploration."
Orion Property
Orion is located 29 kilometres west of the Cigar Lake uranium mine and 29 kilometres north of the
McArthur River uranium mine (Figure 1). The Property covers the interpreted intersection of the
Larocque uranium corridor and a splay off the Cable Bay Shear Zone (Figure 2).
Competitive staking in September added two claims to the Property totaling 5119 hectares and
covering an additional 10 kilometres of prospective magnetic low strike length. The newly added strike
includes the interpreted southern extension of the Larocque uranium trend, host to the Hurricane uranium
deposit and the Larocque Lake and Alligator Lake uranium zones (Figure 2). Staking of the new claims
was largely driven by preliminary interpretation of results from Cosa's July 2023 MobileMT airborne
survey over the Ursa and Orion properties.
The single historical drill hole completed on Orion is interpreted to have missed the targeted conductor.
Historical drilling along strike to the west of Orion intersected zones of structural disruption in the
sandstone with illitic hydrothermal alteration and anomalous uranium geochemistry, including 0.05%

over 1.0 metres (932.4-933.4 metres) immediately above the unconformity in PAR-03 associated
with hydrothermal hematite alteration.
Next Steps
Future work at Orion is expected to include additional MobileMT™ surveying to identify areas for high-
quality ground geophysical surveying to generate targets for subsequent diamond drilling. The Company
aims to share results of the recently received 3-D inversion of the MobileMT™ survey over Ursa and
Orion properties in the coming weeks.

experience and perception of trends, current conditions and expected developments, and other
factors that management believes are relevant and reasonable in the circumstances, but which may
prove to be incorrect.
Assumptions have been made regarding, among other things, the price of
metals; no escalation in the severity of public health pandemics; costs of exploration and
development; the estimated costs of development of exploration projects; the Company's ability to
operate in a safe and effective manner.
These statements reflect the Company's respective current views with respect to future events and are
necessarily based upon a number of other assumptions and estimates that, while considered

performance or achievements that are or may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements or forward-looking information and the Company has made assumptions and estimates
based on or related to many of these factors.
Such factors include, without limitation: the Company's
dependence on one mineral project; precious metals price volatility; risks associated with the conduct
of the Company's mining activities; regulatory, consent or permitting delays; risks relating to reliance
on the Company's management team and outside contractors; the Company's inability to obtain
insurance to cover all risks, on a commercially reasonable basis or at all; currency fluctuations; risks
regarding the failure to generate sufficient cash flow from operations; risks relating to project financing
and equity issuances; risks and unknowns inherent in all mining projects; contests over title to
properties, particularly title to undeveloped properties; laws and regulations governing the

manage and cope with the implications of public health crises 19; the economic and financial
implications of public health crises to the Company; operating or technical difficulties in connection
with mining or development activities; employee relations, labour unrest or unavailability; the
Company's interactions with surrounding communities; the speculative nature of exploration and
development; stock market volatility; conflicts of interest among certain directors and officers; lack of
liquidity for shareholders of the Company; litigation risk; and the factors identified in the Company's
public disclosure documents.
Readers are cautioned against attributing undue certainty to forward-
looking statements or forward-looking information.
Although the Company has attempted to identify
important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially, there may be other factors that
cause results not to be anticipated, estimated or intended.
The Company does not intend, and does
not assume any obligation, to update these forward-looking statements or forward-looking information
