Terra Clean Energy Plans Winter 2025 Exploration Program at
South Falcon East Uranium Project, Athabasca Basin,
Saskatchewan
Vancouver B.C., October 15, 2024 – TERRA CLEAN ENERGY CORP. (“Terra” or the “ Company”)
(TSX.V: TCEC, OTCQB: TCEFF, FSE: T1KC), is pleased to announce plans for an upcoming work
program at its South Falcon East Uranium Project which hosts the Fraser Lakes B uranium
Deposit.
The South Falcon East Project lies 18 km outside the edge of the Athabasca Basin, approximately
50 km east of the Key Lake uranium mill and former mine (Figure 1), approximately 7 km north
of the powerline servicing the Key Lake operation. Terra Clean Energy Corp entered into an option
agreement with SkyHarbour Resources Ltd. in October of 2022, whereby the company can earn
up to a 75% interest in the South Falcon East property.
The Company is planning an extensive drill program for the winter of 2025 . The program will
consist of approximately 2,000 meters of drilling. The priority is to expand on the Winter 2024
program by extending the mineralized footprint associated with the Fraser Lakes B Uranium
Deposit (Figure 2) and test nearby targets with prospective alteration and structure identified in
historical drilling . The infill and step out drilling planned at Fraser Lake B will confirm the
presence and continuity of existing m ineralization and expand the footprint of the deposit ;
currently the mineralization is open both down dip and along strike. The results of infill and step-
out drilling will aid in preparation of an updated NI 43 -101 compliant resource estimate and
deposit model for Fraser Lakes B.
The upgraded resource will also integrate other results not included in the historical resource
estimate, including high er-grade mineralization encountered to date at Fraser Lakes B ,
intersected in drillhole FP-15-05. FP -15-05 returned 0.165% U 3O8 and 0.112% ThO 2 over 2.0
metres at 135.0 metres depth within a broader interval containing 0.103% U308 and 0.062% ThO2
over 6.0 metres at a depth of 134.5 m, and a second high grade intercept of 0.172% U 3O8 and
0.113% ThO 2 over 2.5 metres at 146.0 m dept h. The mineralization at Fraser Lakes B is
accompanied by anomalous pathfinder elements , including Bi, Mo, Pb, and Z n, that are also
associated with ultra high -grade basement -hosted unconformity uranium deposits in the
Athabasca Basin.
The Company’s inaugural drill program in early 2024 (News Release dated April 1, 2024) at
Fraser Lakes B confirmed the presence of uranium mineralized pegmatites and graphitic pelitic
paragneiss along the Way Lake Conductor. Graphitic pelitic paragneiss are a key lithology
associated with uranium deposits within the eastern Athabasca Basin, and their presence at
Fraser Lakes B is a good indication of the potential for high-grade basement-hosted
unconformity related uranium mineralization, in addition to the known pegmatite/alaskite-
hosted uranium mineralization at the South Falcon East project.
While the Fraser Lakes B uranium deposit will remain a primary focus of early efforts on the
property, the Company has ample additional drill-ready targets along the Way Lake conductor at
South Falcon East. This includes the T -Bone Lake area, just north of Fraser Lakes B (Figure 2),
where limited drilling encountered highly prospective clay alteration, anomalous radioactivity,
and uranium mineralization (inc luding up to 0.055% U 3O8 over 0.9 m at 39.5 metres depth in
drillhole WYL -10-53) associated with a no rth-northwest trending fault cross -cutting the
northeast-trending Way Lake conductor. The alteration encountered at T-Bone Lake is similar to
that encompassing several high -grade basement -hosted uranium deposits in the eastern
Athabasca Basin, including th e former Eagle Point Mine and the Millenium uranium deposits.
Regional drilling will focus on th is area and other untested areas of structural complexity along
the folded Way Lake conductor that are highly prospective for high -grade basement -hosted
unconformity-related uranium mineralization and additional pegmatite -hosted uranium
mineralization.
The upcoming field program is anticipated to commence in the new year and will be executed by
Terralogic Exploration Inc. under the supervision of Laura Tennent, Project Manager with
TerraLogic Exploration and and C. Trevor Perkins, consulting geologist for Terra Clean Energy. The
drilling program will be operating out of Skyharbour’s McGowan Lake Camp with helicopter
support for the daily drilling operations. The expected budget for this program is anticipated to
be $1.5 million
“This is a unique setup for a Canadian microcap, one that offers multiple paths to significant value
creation,” said Alex Klenman, CEO of Terra Clean Energy. “We have an exceptional exploration
opportunity that includes pursuing high-grade uranium discovery within already established
mineralized zones, as well as testing thousands of hectares of geologically and geochemically
favorable areas for new discovery, and to expand an early-stage uranium deposit. We get both
the blue-sky opportunity where a drill hole can change a company’s trajectory in an instant, and
the safety of pursuing an asset-backed valuation. We’re eager to continue drilling South Falcon
and to unlock the abundance of value we believe the project contains,” continued Mr. Klenman.

About the South Falcon East Project
The South Falcon East Project is a uranium exploration project in the southeast Athabasca Basin
and represents a portion of Skyharbour Resources Ltd.’s existing South Falcon Project. The
project covers approximately 12,464 hectares and lies 18 kilometers outside the Athabasca Basin,
approximately 50 kilometers east of the Key Lake Mine.
The South Falcon East Project contains the Fraser Lakes B Uranium /Thorium Deposit with a
historic mineral resource* of 6.9 Mlbs U3O8 inferred at a grade of 0.03% U3O8 and 5.3 Mlbs
ThO2 inferred at a grade of 0.023 % ThO2. Uranium and thorium mineralization discovered to
date is shallow classic Athabasca-style basement mineralization associated with well-developed
EM conductors.

and development company. The Company is currently developing the South Falcon East uranium
project, which holds a 6.96M pound inferred uranium resource within the Fraser Lakes B
uranium/thorium deposit, located in the Athabasca Basin region, Saskatchewan, Canada.
