Mustang Energy Receives Exploration Permit for the

Roughrider South and Cigar Lake East Project,

Saskatchewan

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, January 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mustang Energy Corp. (CSE: MEC,

OTC:MECPF, FRA:92T) (the “Company” or “Mustang”) is pleased to announce it has received exploration

permits from the Saskatchewan Government, allowing for ground -based exploration activities at the

Roughrider South and Cigar Lake East Project (the “Projects”) in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan.

The permit authorizes Mustang to carry out mineral exploration activities such as trail construction, line-

cutting, ground geophysical surveys, and diamond drilling. The approved permits are valid until September

30, 2027.

As part of the permit conditions, Mustang will continue to engage with local communities, including the

Ya’thi Néné Lands and Resource Office, to address any ongoing concerns and ensure sustainable project

implementation. Consultation and environmental stewardship remains a priority, with specific measures

to minimize disturbance and support reclamation efforts.

About the Roughrider South and Cigar Lake East Project:

Each of the Cigar Lake East and Roughrider South projects are located in the Eastern Athabasca Basin in

northwest Saskatchewan, situated near the highly prospective Wollaston -Mudjatik transition zone. The

Projects consists of four claims covering a total area of 3,443 hectares and are in close proximity to all-

season roads and electrical transmission lines . The uranium endowment of the area is proven by the

surrounding deposits including the world class Cigar Lake Uranium Mine (138.4 million pounds produced)1

and Rabbit Lake Uranium Mine to the Northeast.

An a irborne magnetics/VTEM survey was conducted in 2023 by Stallion Uranium Corp., the previous

holder of the Projects, highlighting structural features on the Projects. Mustang has engaged Resource

Potentials Ltd. to reinterpret these data sets in an effort to develop additional drill targets within the

project boundaries.
