ATHA ENERGY CORP. ANNOUNCES CLOSING OF OVERSUBSCRIBED $33 MILLION PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Vancouver, British Columbia , October 28, 2022 – Atha Energy Corp. (the “ Company”) is pleased to

announce that it has closed an oversubscribed non-brokered private placement of 33,625,000

subscription receipts (the “ Subscription Receipts ”) at a price of $1.00 per Subscription Receipt for

aggregate gross proceeds of $33,625,000.

As previously announced on September 23, 2022, the completion of equity financings for aggregate gross

proceeds of at least $30 million is one of the conditions to the completion of the Company’s proposed

acquisition of a diversified portfolio of mineral exploration assets and carried interests in the Athabasca

Basin (the “Assets”) from The New Saskatchewan Syndicate. Situated primarily in northern Saskatchewan,

the Assets include approximately 3.2 million highly p rospective acres within the Athabasca Basin as well

as a ten percent (10%) carried interest on 250,540 acres of land owned and operated by NexGen Energy

(TSX: NXE) and IsoEnergy (TSX.V: ISO).

The acquisition of the Assets is subject to the satisfaction of various conditions, including but not limited

to, a recognized Canadian stock exchange having approved the listing of the Common Shares and the

receipt of all requisite authorizations and consents. There can be no assurance that the acquisition of the

Assets will be completed on the terms proposed above or at all.

The Subscription Receipts are governed by the terms of a subscription receipt agreement between the

Company and Odyssey Trust Company, as subscription receipt agent . Each Subscription Receipt will be

automatically converted, without any further action by the holder, and for no additional consideration,

into one (1) common share in the capital of the Company (the “ Common Shares”) upon the satisfaction

of certain escrow release conditions, including the listing of the Common Shares on a recognized Canadian

stock exchange.

The Subscription Receipts will be subject to a statutory hold period ending February 25, 2023 in

accordance with applicable securities laws. The Company intends to seek the qualification of the Common

Shares underlying the Subscription Receipts pursuant to a non-offering long form prospectus.

The Company may pay finders or other fees upon completion of the acquisition of the Assets, the offering

of Subscription Receipts and the transactions ancillary thereto.
