Laramide's Drilling at Westmoreland Uranium Project Continues to Demonstrate Scope for Resource Growth
Laramide's Drilling at Westmoreland Uranium
Project Continues to Demonstrate Scope for

/CNW/ -
Laramide Resources Ltd.
(
"Laramide"
or the
"Company"
)
(TSX: LAM; ASX: LAM; OTCQX: LMRXF), a uranium mine development and exploration company
with globally significant assets in
the United States
and
Australia
, is pleased to announce more
assay results from the 2024 drilling activities at the Westmoreland Uranium Project in Queensland,
Australia (
"Westmoreland"
).

(solid yellow lines) and interpreted mineralisation. Refer Figure 2 for Plan view. (CNW
Group/Laramide Resources Ltd.)
Assays have now been received from the remaining 32 RC drill holes at Long Pocket, with 29 of
these holes mineralized. (Table 2) Long Pocket drilling has demonstrated that uranium mineralisation
is laterally continuous with drillhole collar spacing now generally less than
50m
which lends to a high
level of confidence. Mineralisation remains open and untested in a southerly direction (Figure 2).
Zones of higher-grade uranium intercepted within the broader coherent mineralised envelope include:

Commenting on the results, Laramide's Vice-President of Exploration,
Rhys Davies
said:
"Results from infill drilling at Long Pocket demonstrate the quality of this satellite deposit with good
uranium grade at very shallow depths and supports Laramide's focused attention on enhancing
Westmoreland's
resources towards improving the economics of a future mine plan. The deposit
also remains open and untested to the south.
"We look forward to updating investors as we incorporate these results into a Maiden Resource
Estimation of the deposit in Q1 2025."
Drilling across the broader Westmoreland Project is ongoing with the final few holes of the campaign
due to be completed in the next two weeks. The 2024 drilling campaign has comprised over 100
holes across multiple targets, core processing is continuing, and assay results will be delivered with
regularity throughout Q4 2024.
Long Pocket Uranium Deposit
Long Pocket is a satellite deposit located 7 km to the east of the Westmoreland Project. Thirty-eight
infill RC drill holes, for a total of
2,139m
, were recently completed in 2024.
Results from the 2024 drilling confirms shallow (<
50m
depth), flat-lying, continuous mineralisation
(Figure 1) with multiple zones intersecting a similar highly altered hematitic sandstone of medium to
coarsely grained and poorly sorted texture, located peripheral to a dyke/sill margin.
The central part of this deposit is now well understood with hole spacing now less than
50m
in
places. Results from this drilling program will be incorporated into a Maiden Resource Estimation of
the deposit in Q1 2025.

About Laramide Resources Ltd.
Laramide is focused on exploring and developing high-quality uranium assets in Tier-1 uranium
jurisdictions of
Australia
and
United States

advanced uranium projects in districts with historical production or superior geological prospectivity.
The assets have been carefully chosen for their size, production potential, and the two large projects
are considered to be late-stage, low-technical risk projects.

Since forward-looking information address future events and conditions, by their very nature they
involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those currently
anticipated due to a number of factors and risks. These include, but are not limited to, exploration
and production for uranium; delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development
projects or capital expenditures; the uncertainty of resource estimates; health, safety and
environmental risks; worldwide demand for uranium; uranium price and other commodity price and
exchange rate fluctuations; environmental risks; competition; incorrect assessment of the value of
acquisitions; ability to access sufficient capital from internal and external sources; and changes in
legislation, including but not limited to tax laws, royalties and environmental regulations.
