Summer Drilling to Commence Early June
Kelowna, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 15, 2023) -
F3 Uranium Corp
(
TSV: FUU
)
(
OTCQB: FUUFF
) ("
F3
" or "
the Company
") is pleased to announce final results from the 9 remaining
drill holes of the 21 hole Winter 2023 program, including drill hole PLN23-061, drilled at the JR Zone on
the Patterson Lake North (PLN) property. The analysis for PLN23-061, cored 75m grid south from the
discovery hole, returned one continuous
12.5m interval averaging 4.6% U
3
O
8
,
including a high-
grade 5.0m interval averaging 10.9% U
3
O
8
, which further includes a 3.0m interval which assayed
16.1%
U
3
O

.
Planning is in progress for a $12M summer exploration program, scheduled to commence early June, to
continue JR Zone expansion, in addition to exploration along the A1 Main Shear Zone where previous
drilling in 2014 and 2019 intersected the same structure as what is interpreted to be hosting the JR
Zone. The work permits for the program have been received from the Saskatchewan Ministry of
Environment.
Final assay results from 7 mineralized drill holes are disclosed below in Table 1, including drill holes
PLN23-053 through PLN23-059, and drill holes PLN23-061 and PLN23-062.
Raymond Ashley, President, commented:
"This final release of assays from the Winter 2023 program at PLN confirms the previously reported
scintillometer results that drill holes PLN23-061 and PLN23-062 that were cored furthest to the south
from the discovery hole, 75m and 90m respectively, intersected the ultra-high-grade core with
individual samples returning in excess of 20.0%
U
3
O
8
. The JR Zone has now been defined over a
total strike length of 105 meters and the upcoming summer program will aim to extend the zone in
particular to the south, where assays from drill holes PLN23-060, 061 and 062 have shown that
mineralization continues along strike, and up-dip towards the Athabasca Unconformity.

mineralized intervals are summarized in Table 1. Samples from the drill
core are split in half sections on site. Where possible, samples are standardized at 0.5m down-hole
intervals. One-half of the split sample is sent to SRC Geoanalytical Laboratories (an SCC ISO/IEC
17025: 2005 Accredited Facility) in Saskatoon, SK while the other half remains on site for reference.
Analysis includes a 63 element suite including boron by ICP-OES, uranium by ICP-MS and gold analysis
by ICP-OES and/or AAS. All depth measurements reported are down-hole and true thickness are yet to
be determined but the Company estimates true thickness of the reported intervals in this news release to
be close to reported interval widths. The Company considers uranium mineralization with assay results
of greater than 1.0 weight % U

as "high grade" and results greater than 20.0 weight % U

as
"ultra-high grade".
