F3 - Starts Geophysics at Tetra Zone to Generate New Drill Targets
F3 - Starts Geophysics at Tetra Zone to
Generate New Drill Targets
Kelowna, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 3, 2026) -
F3 Uranium Corp
(
TSXV: FUU
)
(
OTCQB: FUUFF
) ("
F3
" or "
the Company
") is pleased to announce the commencement of a DIAS32
IP and resistivity geophysical survey at its 100% owned Broach Lake Property, where F3 intersected
high-grade uranium mineralization at the Tetra Zone (see news release July 7, 2025). This survey is
designed as an initial characterization survey directly over the Tetra Zone and consists of three lines,
aiming to image chargeability and resistivity distributions related to the Tetra structure in 3D. The
purpose of the survey is to generate drill targets along the Tetra Zone system by imaging the resistivity
contrast associated with the mineralized structure.
This work stands to advance the next phase of drilling near F3's newest high-grade uranium discovery
and, more importantly, to guide step-out drilling along strike from the Tetra Zone, positioning the
Company to expand the footprint of the Tetra mineralized system. The survey is underway and is
expected to take approximately 30 days to complete.
Drill core physical properties investigations conducted at the University of Saskatchewan identified
measurable resistivity contrasts through the structure hosting the Tetra Zone, with the structure showing
lower resistivity than the surrounding host rocks. This IP survey aims to identify this contrast from surface,
which will then be integrated with the conductive responses from previous ground EM surveys performed
over the area.
The Tetra Zone has an unusual geophysical signature: it lacks the conductive minerals (graphite and
sulphides) commonly associated with uraniferous structures, and the area is overlain by highly
conductive Cretaceous mudstone that introduces significant noise. This resistivity survey is intended to
help generate drill targets along the Tetra Zone system despite those challenges. Upon successful
completion and interpretation, F3 intends to expand the survey coverage along strike in both directions.
Sam Hartmann, Vice President Exploration, commented:
"The Tetra Zone discovery has been game changing. It marked the first uranium discovery within the
Clearwater Domain, a geological domain characterized by an extremely high magnetic profile and
historically weak conductor responses. As a result, there has been very little historic exploration; F3 was
the first mover in adopting and implementing new deposit theories that translated into discovery during
our first exploration drill program.
"Many uranium discoveries in the basin are considered 'blind' and rely heavily on geophysics, given the
general lack of outcrop within the Athabasca Basin and the heavy Quaternary cover, particularly on the
west side and in the Patterson Lake area. The Tetra Zone is even more difficult due to the very weak
geophysical property contrast associated with the mineralized structure.
"What we do know is that we are on a potentially large system characterized by significant hydrothermal
alteration, with the Tetra Zone mineralization at its core. Historic drill hole PAT-16-002, located 1.2 km
southeast of Tetra, returned a 0.5-metre interval grading 423 ppm U, the highest uranium value recorded
in any single exploration core sample from the PLN Project outside of the JR and Tetra Zones (see news
release July 21, 2025). This is a trend we are focused on thoroughly understanding, given the significant
discovery potential. It's also important to understand the size of the PLN property and the numerous other
trends, several of which remain completely untested and a number of which we have been advancing to
the drill-ready stage. We look forward to providing a summer exploration update covering the Tetra area
and new target areas shortly."

About the Patterson Lake North Project:
The Company's 42,961-hectare 100% owned Patterson Lake North Project (PLN) is located just within
the south-western edge of the Athabasca Basin in proximity to Paladin's Triple R and NexGen Energy's
Arrow high-grade uranium deposits - a region poised to become the next major centre of development
for uranium operations in northern Saskatchewan. The PLN Project consists of the 4,074-hectare
Patterson Lake North Property hosting the JR Zone uranium discovery approximately 23 km northwest of
Paladin's Triple R deposit, the 19,864-hectare Minto Property, and the 19,022-hectare Broach Property
hosting the Tetra Zone, located 13 km south of the JR Zone. All three properties comprising the PLN
Project are accessed by Provincial Highway 955.

About F3 Uranium Corp.:
F3 is a uranium exploration company, focusing on the high-grade JR Zone and new Tetra Zone
discovery 13 km to the south in the PW area on its Patterson Lake North (PLN) Project in the Western
Athabasca Basin. F3 currently has three properties in the Athabasca Basin: Patterson Lake North,
Minto, and Broach. The western side of the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, is home to some of the
world's largest high-grade uranium deposits including Paladin's Triple R project and NexGen's Arrow
project.
