URANIUMX DISCOVERY CORP. PROVIDES UPDATE ON TRANSACTION

WITH POND TECHNOLOGIES HOLDINGS INC.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / August 19, 2026 / UraniumX Discovery Corp. (CSE:

STMN) (OTCQB: STMXF) (FSE: Q7S) (“UraniumX ” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce

that it has entered into a share exchange agreement (the “ Agreement”) dated August 18, 2026

with Pond Technologies Holdings Inc. (TSXV: POND) (“ Pond”) pursuant to which Pond will

acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary

1477571 B.C. Ltd. (“SubCo”), which holds a 100% interest in the Zoo Bay Uranium Property (the

“Property”), located in Saskatchewan’s Athabasca Basin, subject to a 2.0% net smelter returns

royalty in favour of UraniumX (the “Transaction”). The Agreement supersedes the letter of intent

announced on April 27, 2026 and is to be completed in connection with Pond’s planned delisting

from the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”) and listing on the Canadian Securities Exchange

(the “CSE”).

Highlights

• 17,000,000 post -consolidation Pond shares, $350,000 in cash and $4,500,000 in

exploration spending on Zoo Bay, with 7,000,000 post-Consolidation Pond shares and

$50,000 on closing and the balance over 36 months (all such shares, the “Pond Shares”).

• 2.0% NSR royalty retained on Zoo Bay, of which Pond may buy back 1.0% for

$1,500,000.

• UraniumX stays on as operator until the deferred consideration is satisfied in full,

keeping exploration in the hands of the team that generated the targets.

• No UraniumX shares issued and no treasury spent , keeping the Company’s capital

focused on the Murphy Lake drill program, where assays from the expanded 4,092 metre

campaign are pending.

Under the terms of the Agreement, UraniumX will receive 7,000,000 post -Consolidation Pond

Shares and a cash payment of $50,000 on closing of the Transaction (the “ Closing”), with the

remaining 10,000,000 post-Consolidation Pond shares, $300,000 in cash and $4,500,000 in

exploration expenditures to follow over a 36 month period. All Pond Share figures reflect the

consolidation of the Pond Shares on the basis of one (1) share for each eighty ( 80) shares

outstanding, which is a condition to Closing (the “ Consolidation”). If Pond does not satisfy all

deferred payments, Pond Share issuances and exploration expenditures, UraniumX may, in its

sole discretion, require the return of SubCo or the Property to UraniumX for $1.00 (the

“Repurchase Right”).

“This transaction is a continuation of our project generator model, designed to advance and unlock

value across our Athabasca Basin portfolio while concentrating capital and technical resources

on our flagship Murphy Lake Uranium Property,” said Esen Boldk huu, Chief Executive Officer of

UraniumX. “Zoo Bay moves forward with $4.5 million of partner funded exploration, and UraniumX

retains a royalty and meaningful equity in Pond.”

Completion of the Transaction is subject to a number of conditions precedent, including (but not

limited to) conditional approval of the TSXV in respect of the delisting of the Pond Shares,

conditional approval of the CSE in respect of the listing of the Pond Shares and the Transaction,

completion of a private placement of SubCo, receipt of Pond shareholder approval, completion of

a debt settlement of certain outstanding Pond liabilities, completion of the consolidation, a

reorganization involving the disposition of Pond's existing subsidiaries and the reconstitution of

Pond's board of directors and management. There can be no assurance that the transaction will

be completed on the terms described or at all.

The Zoo Bay Uranium Property covers 19,850 hectares along the northeastern edge of the

Athabasca Basin, and benefits from a shallow unconformity at depths between 0 and 200 metres.

No mineral resource has been defined on the Property.

The parties are arm’s length and no finder’s fees are payable in connection with the transaction.
