AERO Energy and Fortune BAY Announce Commencement of Drilling at the Murmac Uranium Project

Exploration Programs

AERO ENERGY AND FORTUNE BAY ANNOUNCE COMMENCEMENT OF DRILLING AT

THE MURMAC URANIUM PROJECT

VANCOUVER, BC, September 26, 2025 – Aero Energy Ltd (TSXV: AERO) (OTC Pink: AAUGF) (FSE:

UU3) (“Aero” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that summer drilling has commenced at its Murmac

Uranium Project (“Murmac” or the “Project”), located in northern Saskatchewan near Uranium City. A limited

suite of high priority targets has been selected for testing.

Exploration work at Murmac is being funded by Aero and is being operated by Fortune Bay Corp (TSXV:

FOR) (FWB: 5QN) (OTCQB: FTBYF ), under an Option Agreement that was executed on December 15,

2023.

Galen McNamara, interim CEO of Aero, commented, “This drilling program at Murmac targets high-potential

uranium prospects in a proven uranium district. The selected targets are underpinned by robust geophysical

anomalies that suggest significant potential for basement -hosted uranium mineralization. This approach

allows us to test key targets along the Armbruster Conductor, positioning Aero for significant ups ide from

potential uranium discoveries.”

Drill Targets

Target selection has been based on airborne electromagnetic and ground gravity survey results, targeting

features along buried basement-hosted conductive graphitic units at their intersection with known

mineralized cross faults identified during historical and current prospecting activities, including spectrometer

surveying and geochemical sampling. Drilling will focus on the northern end of the Armbruster Conductor,

which the Company has not yet drill tested. This program has been planned at short notice to benefit from

significant cost savings related to the presence of another exploration group in Uranium City carrying out a

separate drill program using the same drill contractor. Shared mobilization and operational costs are

allowing the Company to cost effectively test three selected high priority targets (Figure 1) in the summer

window.

• A19: Low amplitude EM high target on a conductor inflection, with an associated diffuse gravity low

anomaly. The targeted graphitic horizon underlies a small lake, at the location of an intersection of the

Armbruster Conductor with a major conductor-parallel fault.

• A18: Low amplitude EM high feature coincident with a high priority gravity low target at a location

where the Armbruster Conductor is apparently terminated by a cross-cutting mineralized fault.

• A9: A broad EM high anomaly on the edge of a conductor termination, with a small down-dip gravity

low. This target is aimed a structural confluence of several known mineralized cross -faults with the

Armbruster Conductor.

Technical Disclosure

Further details regarding the historical exploration/drilling and exploration results noted in this news release

can be found within the Saskatchewan Mineral Assessment Database (SMAD) and the Saskatchewan

Mineral Deposit Index (SMDI). Aero has verified several of these occurrences through field prospecting and

sampling, however there is a risk that any future confirmation work and exploration may produce results

that substantially differ from the unverified historical results. Historical drill hole locations, captured from

georeferenced assessment report maps, are subject to uncertainty (considered accurate to +/ -50 meters.

The Company considers these unverified historical results relevant to assess the mineralization and

economic potential of the property. The historical information referenced derives from SMAD references

74N07-0011, 74N07-0173 and 74N07-0277.

About Aero Energy

Aero Energy Ltd, following its successful merger with Kraken Energy Corp, has established a robust

portfolio of uranium assets in North America. The company controls a district -scale 250,000 -acre land

package in Saskatchewan’s Athabasca Basin, including it s Sun Dog, Strike, and Murmac projects, which

collectively host over 50 shallow drill -ready targets across 125 km of target horizon in the emerging

Athabasca Basin. These projects are guided by an award -winning technical team with a proven track

record, responsible for major discoveries such as Gryphon, Arrow, and Triple-R. Additionally, Aero Energy’s

portfolio includes Kraken’s 100%-owned Apex Uranium Property, Nevada’s largest past-producing uranium

mine, and the Huber Hills property, spanning 1,044 ha in Nevada and encompassing the historic Race

Track open pit mine. This strategic merger combines Aero’s extensive Canadian exploration assets with

Kraken’s high -grade U.S. properties, positioning Aero Energy to unlock significant high -grade,

unconformity-style uranium mineralization and capitalize on the growing global demand for uranium. For
