Blue Sky Uranium Corp. (TSX-V: BSK, FSE: MAL2; OTC: BKUCF), (‘Blue Sky’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce that on May 28, 2025, Ivana Minerales S.A. completed the first participatory groundwater sampling at the Ivana Uranium-Vanadium Project, (the “Project”). This was a precursor to the recently announced infill drilling program that marks a major step toward the prefeasibility/feasibility phase of the Project (see News Release dated May 22, 2025). While the sampling was carried out as a legal requirement for the drill program, the event marks a crucial step toward establishing an open, citizen-inclusive environmental monitoring process that meets high technical standards. This reflects the Company’s commitment to responsible environmental management and the development of trusted relationships within the region.

The participatory sampling event was attended by landowners from the Project area and residents of the town of Valcheta, which is located approximately 25km from the Ivana properties and serves as a major source of labour and operational support for the Project. Representatives from Valcheta included the town’s Mayor, members from the City Council, the local hospital, the museum, and educational institutions. Provincial agencies in attendance included the Secretariat of Mining of Río Negro, the Secretariat of Environment and Climate Change, the Provincial Water Department, the Office of the Ombudsman, and members of the Río Negro Legislature.

Nikolaos Cacos, President & CEO of the Company, stated: “We are committed to building a relationship founded on transparency and mutual trust with the Valcheta community and the authorities of Río Negro, through our professional and dedicated approach to the Ivana Project. Joining community members and regulatory authorities to participate in environmental water sampling helps us to strengthen our relationships as we work together to develop an environmentally and socially sustainable project.”

The event was led by Luis Rivera, General Manager of Ivana Minerales S.A., and Silvia Rodríguez, Head of Community Relations. They welcomed attendees and provided a brief overview of the Project’s objectives and the sampling protocol to be followed.

Technical tasks were carried out by the specialized consulting firm Hidroar S.A., which is currently responsible for the environmental baseline study for the Ivana Project. This study, initiated in 2022, compiles climate data, surface and groundwater sampling, flora and fauna assessments, archaeological and paleontological surveys, and other environmental and social components to create a documented record of the area’s environmental conditions prior to any potential future production.

During the event, the Hidroar team provided detailed field explanations of the methodology used. Sampling was conducted at three strategic points established by regulation: upstream, midstream, and downstream of the area designated for potential future drilling. Simultaneously, the Provincial Water Department (DPA) collected duplicate samples at the same locations, using an independent but technically equivalent procedure, thus ensuring the traceability, reliability, and transparency of the data collected.

Includes 15.6 Metres Averaging 1.47% Cu and 8.5 g/t Ag

E Zone Skarn Returns 29.7 Metres Averaging 1.92% Cu and 15.2 g/t Ag

Infill Drilling Continues to Extend Deposit at Depth Below 2024 MRE

Osisko Metals Incorporated (the “Company or ‘OsiskoMetals’) (TSX-V: OM; OTCQX: OMZNF; FRANKFURT: 0B51) is pleased to announce new drilling results from the 2025 drilling program at the Gaspé Copper Project, located in the Gaspé Peninsula of Eastern Québec. Results for eight new holes are reported below, located at the southern end of the deposit defined in the 2024 Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”, see attached map and November 14, 2024 news release).

Highlights (see Table 1 below):

• Drill hole 30-1075, located in the south-eastern portion of the 2024 MRE model, intersected 258.0 metres averaging 0.33% Cu and 2.95 g/t Ag(including15.6 metres averaging1.47% Cu and 8.5 g/t Ag), and a second intercept at depth, below the base of the 2024 MRE model, of 96 metres averaging0.54% Cu and 3.34 g/t Ag, extending mineralization to a vertical depth of 529 metres.
• Drill hole 30-1076, located along the southern limit of the 2024 MRE model, intersected 208.4 metres averaging 0.40% Cu and 2.61 g/t Ag (including12.0 metres averaging1.91% Cu and 9.6 g/t Ag), followed by a second intercept of 70.8 metres averaging 0.25% Cu and 2.15 g/t Ag, and a third intercept at depth, below the base of the 2024 MRE model, of 48.9 metres averaging0.34% Cu and 2.78 g/t Ag, extending mineralization to a vertical depth of 548 metres.
• Drill hole 30-1068, located in the south-eastern portion of the 2024 MRE model, intersected 189.0 metres averaging 0.30% Cu and 2.62 g/t Ag.
• Drill hole 30-1070, located near the eastern limit of the 2024 MRE model, intersected 160.5 metres averaging 0.16% Cu and 1.92 g/t Ag, followed by a second intercept of 122.8 metres averaging0.62% Cu and 4.86 g/t Ag (including 25.6 metres averaging 2.19% Cu and 16.9 g/t Ag at the level of the C Zone skarn), followed by a third intercept at depth, below the base of the 2024 MRE model, of 29.7 metres averaging1.92% Cu and 15.2 g/t Ag at the level of the E Zone skarn, extending mineralization to a vertical depth of 629 metres.

• Drill hole 30-1074, located in the south-central portion of the 2024 MRE model, intersected 118.5 metres averaging 0.26% Cu and 1.92 g/t Ag, and a second intercept of 167.2 metres averaging 0.22% Cu and 1.60 g/t Ag at depth below the base of the 2024 MRE model, extending mineralization to a vertical depth of 797 metres.

Drill hole 30-1073 was drilled to the east of the 2024 MRE limit and did not intersect significant mineralization. Previously reported drill holes 30-1062 and 30-1066 were also collared to the southeast and to the east, respectively, of the 2024 MRE limit and these holes also failed to intersect significant mineralization, indicating that the deposit does not extend towards the east. The deposit remains open to the south and southwest.

All holes were drilled sub-vertically into the altered calcareous stratigraphy which dips 20 to 25 degrees to the north; true widths are estimated at 90-92% of reported widths. The L1 (C Zone) the L2 (E Zone) skarn/marble horizons were intersected in most holes, as well as intervening porcellanites (pale green to white potassic-altered hornfels) that host the bulk of the disseminated copper mineralization.

The November 2024 MRE was limited at depth to the base of the L1 skarn horizon (C Zone), and all mineralized intersections below this horizon represent potential depth extensions to the deposit, to be included in the next scheduled MRE update in Q1 2026.

Mineralization occurs as disseminations and veinlets of chalcopyrite and is mostly stratigraphically controlled in the area of Needle Mountain, Needle East and Copper Brook. As expected, no significant molybdenum mineralization was encountered in porcellanites in the latter areas, but high grades (up to 0.4% Mo) were locally obtained in both the C Zone and E Zone skarns. The bulk of the molybdenum mineralization occurs in veinlet stockworks further north at Copper Mountain, where true porphyry copper-style mineralization occurs, forming a distinct secondary mineralized zone that is characterized by widespread, continuous copper-molybdenum stockwork mineralization radiating from the central source of hydrothermal fluids, i.e. the Copper Mountain porphyry intrusion. At least five vein/stockwork mineralizing events have been recognized at Copper Mountain, which overprint earlier skarn/porcellanite-hosted mineralization throughout the Gaspé Copper system.

The 2022 to 2024 Osisko Metals drill programs were focused on defining open-pit resources within the Copper Mountain stockwork mineralization, leading to the May 2024 MRE (see May 6, 2024 press release). Extending the resource model south of Copper Mountain into the poorly-drilled primary skarn/porcellanite portion of the system subsequently led to a significantly increased resource, mostly in the Inferred category (see November 14, 2024 press release).

The current drill program is designed to convert the November 2024 MRE to Measured and Indicated categories, as well as test the extension of the system deeper into the stratigraphy and laterally to the south and southwest towards Needle East and Needle Mountain respectively.

Camp opening and logistics have commenced with geophysics and drilling to follow in the coming weeks

Aston Bay Holdings Ltd. (TSXV:BAY)(OTCQB:ATBHF) (‘Aston Bay’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce the commencement of activities at the Storm Copper Project (‘Storm’ or the ‘Project’) on Somerset Island, Nunavut. American West Metals Limited (‘American West’), the Project operator, is conducting the exploration program. Aston Bay and American West have formed a 20/80 unincorporated joint venture with respect to the Storm Project property, with Aston Bay maintaining a free carried interest until a decision to mine is made upon completion of a bankable feasibility study.

Highlights:

• The 2025 drill program is set to begin. A pipeline of large-scale exploration targets prioritized for drilling includes:
  • Cirrus Deeps – high-priority EM target below the Cirrus Deposit with a stratigraphic setting similar to Cyclone will be the first target to be tested with diamond drilling
  • Cyclone Deeps – potential continuation of the large Cyclone Deposit at depth with reconnaissance drill intercepts such as 10 metres (‘m’) @ 1.2% copper (‘Cu’) from 311m (including 0.5m @ 3.7% Cu from 315.5m), ready for follow-up with diamond drilling
  • Resource Expansion – several discoveries near the footprint of the Mineral Resource Estimate (‘MRE’) will be followed up, including the Gap Prospect, which contains a strong EM anomaly confirmed with drilling that returned 20m @ 2.3% Cu from 28m, and the Squall and Hailstorm Prospects
  • Tornado/Blizzard – located 5km east of the Storm copper deposits, the area hosts a 3.2km x 1.5km geochemical copper anomaly and two large electromagnetic (‘EM’) plates yet to be drilled
  • Midway – discovered by a single historical drill hole that intersected a total of 58m of visual copper sulfide, located approximately 5km to the west of the Storm MRE area, to be drilled
• Geophysics to generate new targets. An extensive airborne Mobile Magneto-Telluric (‘MobileMT’) survey is planned early in the season for the Storm MRE area and other areas of interest along the 110km prospective copper horizon, with results expected to inform drill targeting and prioritization this season.

Visual estimates of mineral abundance should never be considered a proxy or substitute for laboratory analyses where concentrations or grades are the factor of principal economic interest. Laboratory assays are required to determine the presence and grade of any contained mineralization within the reported visual intersections of copper sulfides. Portable XRF is used as an aid in the determination of mineral type and abundance during the geological logging process.

Thomas Ullrich, Chief Executive Officer of Aston Bay, commented:

‘We are excited to begin another field season at Storm. The reverse circulation drill rig will work on adding to the resource and target near-surface exploration targets, while the diamond drill rig will focus on the deeper exploratory holes.

‘In addition to the compelling targets generated in previous geophysical programs, we are very excited to be flying a comprehensive MobileMT survey at Storm. This is the same survey that has successfully delineated large conductive targets at our Epworth property. The significant contrast in the conductive properties of the mineralized rock versus the host rock at Storm is ideal for MobileMT, and its utilization of natural-source energy from within the Earth should help define deeper targets that may have eluded previous methods. These new targets will be ready for drilling this season.

‘Investors can also look forward to the completion of a Preliminary Economic Analysis for the near-surface mineralization at Storm, currently underway. We are also working up drill targets for our Epworth copper project, also in Nunavut, for a potential late-season drill program.’

INITIAL DIAMOND DRILL PLAN

The first diamond drill targets to be tested in the Storm MRE area are Cirrus Deeps and Cyclone Deeps (Figure 2). The drilling aims to follow up earlier intersections of high-grade copper mineralization and build evidence for the large-scale copper potential at depth, which could rapidly expand the copper endowment within the Storm MRE area.

Subsequent diamond drilling will continue to test high-priority geophysical anomalies and regional exploration targets. These will include the Tornado, Blizzard, Midway areas and any new targets defined by the upcoming MMT survey.

Cirrus Deeps

Diamond drill hole ST24-03 was designed to target a 1,300m x 500m MLEM anomaly (Figure 3 & 5) which is bounded by a series of large EM plates (approximately 350m to top, conductance ~40-60 siemens, moderate ~40-60° S/SW dip, striking ~WNW-ESE) at its northern edge. The EM anomalies are located below the Cirrus Deposit and the Gap high-grade copper prospect, and are interpreted to be proximal to the Southern Graben Fault.

This location in the Allen Bay Formation immediately below the Cape Storm Formation is the same stratigraphic location as Cyclone. In addition to the potential for flat-lying stratigraphic mineralization like Cyclone, the target is located along a fault zone similar to the well-mineralized Chinook Deposit. These anomalies may indicate a considerable, connected accumulation of copper within the Central Graben area. Similar EM targets drilled elsewhere in the Storm copper belt have been confirmed as high-grade copper mineralization.

ST24-03 has currently been drilled to a downhole depth of 414m (planned depth of 600-700m) and intersected several zones of fracturing and sporadic copper sulfides (Figure 3) in the upper portion of the hole, with increased fracturing at depth. Fracturing and voids in the rock are positive indications since permeability and open spaces are required for efficient mineralization in the sediment hosted copper model.

The drill hole will be the first diamond hole completed in the 2025 drill program.

Cyclone Deeps

High-grade copper mineralization has been discovered at depth, offset to the south of the Cyclone Deposit (Figure 4). The Cyclone Deeps intersection of 10m @ 1.2% Cu (drill hole ST24-01) displays a typical sediment hosted copper mineralogical profile with a high-grade core of native copper and chalcocite (including 3m @ 2.2% Cu) with peripheral chalcopyrite and other less copper-rich sulfide minerals.

The copper mineralization is hosted near the top of a thick sequence of fractured dolomudstone of the Allen Bay Formation. The Allen Bay is the main host of the known copper mineralization within the Storm area, and the stratigraphic position near the top of the formation also hosts Cyclone, the largest deposit discovered to date. This mineralization may represent the offset southern portion of the faulted Cyclone Deposit and presents an exceptional opportunity to add significant volume to the current resources. This prospective horizon extends for over 5km in the immediate Storm area.

INITIAL REVERSE CIRCULATION DRILL PLAN

Reverse Circulation (‘RC’) drilling will be used to test near-surface (<250m depth) resource upgrade, resource expansion, and exploration targets.

The first phase of drilling will commence at the Thunder, Lightning Ridge, and Corona Deposits before moving on to The Gap, Squall and Hailstorm Prospects (Figure 2). All of these opportunities have the potential to add significant mineral resources to the Storm Project, with high-grade mineralization similar to the known deposits already discovered.

Subsequent RC drilling will aim to test other nearby and regional exploration targets, which include the Tornado and Blizzard areas, and numerous untested geochemical, Electromagnetic (EM) and Induced Polarization (IP) anomalies.

The Gap Prospect is a 500m-long zone located between the Corona and Cirrus Copper Deposits (Figure 2), where multiple drill holes have intersected high-grade copper sulfides (including 1.5m @ 4.4% Cu, 9.8g/t Ag from 39m, and 2m @ 2.5% Cu from 74m downhole in AB18-09, and 20m @ 2.3% Cu, 3.3g/t Ag (Including 8m @ 5.3% Cu, 6.4g/t Ag) from 28m in SR24-003.

The Squall and Hailstorm Prospects are located immediately south of the southern graben fault and collectively extend 1.8km northwest along strike of the Corona Deposit (see Figure 2).

Drilling at Squall during the 2024 season intercepted 1.5m @ 2.36% Cu, 5.0g/t Ag from 181.4m (SR24-108) at the end of the hole, whilst surface geochemistry at Hailstorm has identified a 250m x 250m copper anomaly that remains open to the south (Figure 5).

Mobile Magneto-Telluric (MobileMT) Survey

A regional-scale MobileMT survey is planned to cover the Storm and wider exploration areas during the 2025 program (Figure 6). MMT utilizes natural source energy to capture a broader range of EM frequencies than the techniques used at Storm to date. The survey is designed to show a greater contrast between the host rocks and potential accumulations of conductive material (i.e. metalliferous sulfide) with improved spatial and depth resolution. This is potentially very useful in delineating deeper (>200m) occurrences of copper sulfide at Storm, where the resistive host rocks cause a decreased signal-to-noise ratio and decreased confidence in interpretation with depth in the historical geophysics.

The initial MobileMT survey will be completed over the Midway-Storm-Tornado area as an orientation survey to determine the response of the known deposits before extending the survey into more regional areas. The survey will begin in the coming week, allowing results to inform drill targeting and prioritization this season.

FORWARD PROGRAM

• MobileMT geophysical survey to commence imminently, with results expected to inform targeting for exploratory drilling this season.
• RC drilling to commence in the Storm area, testing high-priority geophysical and resource upgrade and definition targets.
• Diamond drilling to commence in the Storm area, following up on deep, high-priority copper targets and EM anomalies.
• Unsampled historical diamond drill holes with visual copper sulfides at the Tornado and Midway Prospects will be sampled immediately to expedite transport to the laboratory for assaying.
• Planning is complete, and preparations are underway for a broad range of environmental monitoring and survey activities during 2025.

CoTec Holdings Corp. (TSXV:CTH)(OTCQB:CTHCF) (‘CoTec’) and Mkango Resources Ltd. (AIM:MKA)(TSXV:MKA) (‘Mkango’) are pleased to announce HyProMag USA, LLC, a Delaware corporation (‘HyProMag USA’ or the ‘Project’) has received a Make More in America (MMIA) domestic finance letter of interest (‘LOI’) from the U.S. Export-Import (‘EXIM’) Bank for its first integrated rare earth recycling and magnet making facility in Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas.

In terms of the letter, EXIM may be able to consider potential financing of up to $92 million of the project’s costs with a repayment tenor of 10 years.

Julian Treger, CoTec CEO commented: ‘We are very pleased with EXIM’s interest in the Project. The Project is strongly aligned with EXIM’s ‘Make More in America’ initiative, which provides beneficial financing terms for U.S. companies facing oversees competition to ensure the United States reshores certain critical export areas, including the domestic manufacturing of permanent NdFeB magnets. We believe that the Project could be a major contributor to the United States’ targeted permanent magnet independence and the speed at which HyProMag USA’s capabilities could be deployed distinguishes the Project from potential competitors.‘

Will Dawes, Mkango CEO commented: ‘The HyProMag USA development will be transformational for rare earth supply chains in the United States, and we are very pleased to see this reflected in the interest from EXIM. With the detailed engineering phase for the project well underway, HyProMag USA is well positioned to create a major new domestic hub for recycling and magnet manufacturing, and a platform for further growth in North America.’

The issuance of this LOI is aligned with Executive Order 2421 of March 20, 2025 ‘Immediate Measures to Increase American Mineral Production’ which includes near-term actions to be determined and implemented by the agencies to fast-track permits, mobilize capital for mineral producers, and create offtake agreements for strategic stockpiling for minerals critical to the United States’ defense, technology, and energy.

HyProMag is commercializing Hydrogen Processing of Magnet Scrap (HPMS) recycling technology in the UK, Germany and the United States. HPMS technology was developed at the Magnetic Materials Group (MMG) at the University of Birmingham, underpinned by approximately US$100 million of research and development funding, and has major competitive advantages versus other rare earth magnet recycling technologies, which are largely focused on chemical processes but do not solve the challenges of liberating magnets from end-of-life scrap streams.

In November 2024, HyProMag announced an independent Feasibility Study which includes a Dallas Fort Worth recycling and magnet Hub, and two pre-processing facilities located in South Carolina and Nevada respectively^[i]. In March 2025, HyProMag USA announced the expansion of the detailed engineering phase to include three HPMS vessels^[ii] and that it was initiating concept studies for further expansion and complementary ‘Long Loop’ recycling^[iii]. The DFW Hub’s annual production is expected to be 750 metric tons per annum of recycled sintered NdFeB magnets and 807 metric tons per annum of associated NdFeB co-products (total payable capacity – 1,557 metric tons NdFeB within five years of commissioning) over a 40-year operating life. It is expected the production facility will provide significant optionality to supply the U.S. market with additional NdFeB alloy powder while assisting in revitalising the U.S. magnet sector with the creation of 90-100 skilled magnet manufacturing jobs.

In March 2025, HyProMag USA announced the results of an independent ISO-Compliant product carbon footprint study which confirmed an exceptionally low CO₂ footprint of 2.35 kg CO₂ eq. per kg of NdFeB cut sintered block product.[iv]

About Empire Metals Limited

Empire Metals is an AIM-listed exploration and resource development company (LON: EEE) with a primary focus on developing Pitfield, an emerging giant titanium project in Western Australia.

The high-grade titanium discovery at Pitfield is of unprecedented scale, with airborne surveys identifying a massive, coincident gravity and magnetics anomaly extending over 40km by 8km by 5km deep. Drill results have indicated excellent continuity in grades and consistency of the mineralised beds and confirm that the sandstone beds hold the higher-grade titanium dioxide (TiO₂) values within the interbedded succession of sandstones, siltstones and conglomerates. The Company is focused on two key prospects (Cosgrove and Thomas), which have been identified as having thick, high-grade, near-surface, bedded TiO₂ mineralisation, each being over 7km in strike length.

An Exploration Target* for Pitfield was declared in 2024, covering the Thomas and Cosgrove mineral prospects, and was estimated to contain between 26.4 to 32.2 billion tonnes with a grade range of 4.5 to 5.5% TiO₂. Included within the total Exploration Target* is a subset that covers the weathered sandstone zone, which extends from surface to an average vertical depth of 30m to 40m and is estimated to contain between 4.0 to 4.9 billion tonnes with a grade range of 4.8 to 5.9% TiO₂.

The Exploration Target* covers an area less than 20% of the overall mineral system at Pitfield which demonstrates the potential for significant further upside.

Empire is now accelerating the economic development of Pitfield, with a vision to produce a high-value titanium metal or pigment quality product at Pitfield, to realise the full value potential of this exceptional deposit.

The Company also has two further exploration projects in Australia; the Eclipse Project and the Walton Project in Western Australia, in addition to three precious metals projects located in a historically high-grade gold producing region of Austria.

*The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Target is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource.
