Mustang Energy Corp. Expands Strategic Land Holdings in

Saskatchewan’s Athabasca Basin

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mustang Energy Corp. (CSE: MEC,

OTC:MECPF, FRA:92T) (the “ Company” or “ Mustang”) is pleased to announce the successful staking of

five new 100% -owned prospective uranium mineral claims in Northern Saskatchewa n. This addition

expands Mustang’s total land package to 92,211 hectares across 14 strategically positioned projects

within and around the world -renowned Athabasca Basin —home to some of the highest-grade uranium

deposits globally.

Newly Staked Properties Overview:

Saddle Project

The Saddle Pro ject comprises two claims totaling 1,804 hectares, located approximately 10 km west of

the historic Cluff Lake Uranium Mine (historical produc tion of over 62 million pounds of uranium

concentrate),1 and 15 km northwest of the S hea Creek Uranium Deposit. The Saddle Project is situated

along the outer rim of the Carswell Impact Structure, a circular geological feature believed to be caused

by a meteorite impact. This area hosts intersecting structural features including ring faults and northwest-

trending conductors that are sub -parallel to the Saskatoon Lake Conductor, a known mineralized trend

associated with the Shea Creek Uranium Deposit.2

Historical drilling on the western boundary of the Saddle Project encountered zones of extensive

structural disruption between 115 and 635 meters depth, with roughly 40% of the interval affected by

brecciation, bleaching, silicification, and fractured core within the Athabasca Group sediments (drillhole

06WC-004).3

The Company advises that, notwithstanding the proximity of location, discoveries of minerals on the Cluff

Lake Deposit or Shea Creek Deposit and any promising results thereof are not necessarily indicative of the

mineralization of, or located on the Saddle Project, or the Company’s ability to commercially exploit the

Saddle Project, or to locate any commercially exploitable deposits therefrom. The Company cautions

investors on relying on this information as the Company has not confirmed the accuracy or reli ability of

the information.

Yellowstone East Expansion

Mustang has added one claim (1,021 hectares) to its existing 100% owned Yellowstone East Project in

the western Athabasca Basin. Located 20 km northeast of the historic Cluff Lake Uranium Mine, the

project is situated along the Carswell structure’s outer rim and remains largely underexplored for its

uranium potential.

Ram Project

The Ram Property spans 2,229 hectares in the southwest Athabasca Basin along the Clearwater Domain.

This geological domain is considered a key driver of uranium mineralization along the Patterson Corridor,

which hosts major uranium assets including NexGen Energy’s Rook I Project. Although geologically

prospective, the Ram Property remains relatively underexplored.

The Company advises that, notwithstanding the proximity of location, discoveries of minerals on NexGen

Energy’s Rook I Project and any promising results thereof are not necessarily indicative of the

mineralization of, or located on the Ram Project, or the Company’s ability to commercially exploit the Ram

Project, or to locate any commercially exploitable deposits therefrom. The Company cautions investors

on relying on this information as the Company has not confirmed the accuracy or reliability of the

information.

Lariat Project

The Lariat Project consists of one claim covering 4,396 hectares, situated just north of the Athabasca Basin

and approximately 10 km northeast of Stony Rapids. The property comprising the Lariat Project lies along

the Snowbird Tectonic Zone, a major crustal -scale shear zone known for hosting uranium deposits —

including Cameco Corp’s Centennial and Dufferin Lake deposits in the southern Athabasca Basin. Located

about 15 km north along trend from Uranium Energy Corp.’s Black Lake Uranium Project, the Lariat Project

not only holds potential for uranium but is also considered prospective for magmatic Cu -Co-Ni

mineralization associated with mafic-ultramafic intrusions within the hybrid gneiss complex.4

The Company advises that, notwithstanding the proximity of location, discoveries of minerals on Cameco

Corp’s Centennial and Dufferin Lake deposits , as well as on Uranium Energy Corp.’s Black Lake Uranium

Project and any promising results thereof are not necessarily indicative of the mineralization of, or located

on the Lariat Project, or the Company’s ability to commercially exploit the Lariat Project, or to locate any

commercially exploitable deposits therefrom. The Company cautions investors on relying o n this

information as the Company has not confirmed the accuracy or reliability of the information.

Strategic Importance

This strategic land expansion reinforces Mustang’s long-term vision of building a high-impact portfolio of

uranium and critical mineral assets in tier -one jurisdictions with robust infrastructure. As global demand

for clean energy intensifies and nuclear power regains prominence, Mustang is well -positioned to

capitalize on emerging opportunities in the uranium sector.

“These acquisitions strengthen our exploration footprint in some of the most promising uranium corridors

in the world,” said Nicholas Luksha, CEO and Director of Mustang Energy. “Our focus remains on

responsible exploration, community engagement, and environmental stewardship as we continue expand

our project portfolio.”
