ATHA Energy Initiates Ongoing Site Mobilization in Advance of 2026 Angilak Exploration Program – Exploration Activities Commencing in April
ATHA ENERGY INITIATES ONGOING SITE MOBILIZATION IN
ADVANCE OF 2026 ANGILAK EXPLORATION PROGRAM –
EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES COMMENCING IN APRIL
HIGHLIGHTS
• Ongoing site mobilization commenced in mid-March – including fuel, supplies, & equipment
inclusive of delivery of a third diamond drill, supplied by Base Diamond Drilling Ltd. – in
support of the 2026 Exploration Program at the Angilak Uranium Project;
• Mobilization is being completed via ATR planes (Photo 1 & 2) departing from Yellowknife,
Northwest Territories, and Baker Lake and Rankin Inlet, Nunavut , and landing on Angilak’s
Winter landing strip;
• The 2026 Angilak Exploration Program, and beyond, is fully funded with the February closing
of CAD $63 Million financing, making ATHA one of the best capitalized uranium exploration
Companies globally;
• 2026 Angilak Exploration Program will be the largest to date on the project, following up on
the highly successful 2024 & 2025 campaigns:
o 2024 maiden campaign focused on expansion of the mineralizing footprint along the
Lac 50 Deposit Corridor, culminating in the release of 2024 Exploration Target 3;
o 2025 Program focused on testing the regional prospectivity within the Angikuni
Basin along the Mineralized RIB & KU -Nine Iron Corridors, outside of the Lac 50
Deposit area, result ing in the discovery of five new uranium showings – including
RIB North, where the maiden hole intersected 34.7 m of composite uranium
mineralization1 with grades up to 8.16% U3O8 over 0.5 m;
• The Company anticipates exploration activities, including diamond drilling, to commence by
the latter part of April.

Assay Samples
1.Composite mineralization is calculated using a 0.01% U 3O8 cutoff with a maximum internal dilution
of 1.5 m.
2The Company considers high-grade mineralization to be any interval over 1% U3O8.
All drill intercepts are core width and true thickness is yet to be determined.
Core samples are submitted to the Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC) Geoanalytical Laboratories
in Saskatoon. The SRC facility is ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accredited by the Standards Council of Canada
(scope of accreditation #537). The samples are analyzed for a multi-element suite using partial and
total digestion inductively coupled plasma methods, for boron by Na2O2 fusion, and for uranium by
fluorimetry.
