Indigo Commences Drilling on its Uranium Project in Shirley Basin, Wyoming

January 8, 2025 - Vancouver, British Columbia. Indigo Exploration Inc. (the “Company”) (TSX-V: IXI, OTCQB: IXIXF,

FSE: INEN) is pleased to announce that it has commenced a planned 50-hole drill program on its highly prospective

uranium project located in the past producing Shirley Basin of Wyoming. The Hot Property cover s a 5.75 km2 (2.2

miles2) area of the Basin and has seen over 200 uranium exploration holes completed between 1957 and 1975. The

Project is located adjacent to Uranium Energy Corp.’s (UEC-NYSE) Shirley Basin project, Ur-Energy Inc.’s (URG-NYSE)

Shirley Basin mine, and Nuclear Fuels Inc.’s (NF -CSE) Bobcat Uranium Project. Ur -Energy’s Shirley Basin project

hosts an NI 43-101 Measured and Indicated Resource of 8.8 Mlb U3O8 grading 0.23%1 currently under construction2.

This of Indigo’s first drill campaign on its 100% owned Hot Property will systematically explore the southern part of

the property, where favourable historic intercepts were encountered in the top 53 metres (175 feet) from surface,

as well as areas that have never been drilled before. Holes will be spaced roughly every 160 metres (525 feet) apart

with the aim to characterize the thickness and grade of uranium mineralization through downhole gamma ray

geophysical logging and develop a stratigraphic framework to broadly model the continuity and configuration of

near surface potentially multiple uranium roll fronts. The 50-hole program is anticipated to take 10 days.
