Executive Summary

• Verdera Energy Corp. announced the acquisition of Kerr‑McGee’s historic New Mexico uranium database, adding over 150,000 drill‑hole logs and 1,000+ maps to its existing data set.
• Combined with the previously acquired URI database, the new asset creates the largest proprietary uranium exploration and development database for New Mexico, enhancing Verdera’s ability to discover, develop, and monetize its mineral‑rights portfolio.
• The company also secured exclusive use rights to additional legacy data collections held by Executive Chair William M. Sheriff through a storage‑and‑maintenance fee agreement.

Key Details
