Original News Release

Standard Uranium completes surveys on Davidson River

Mr. Jon Bey reports STANDARD URANIUM GENERATES NEW HIGH-PRIORITY URANIUM TARGETS AT FLAGSHIP DAVIDSON RIVER PROJECT FOLLOWING EXOSPHERE MULTIPHYSICS SURVEYS Standard Uranium Ltd. has provided an update on its summer exploration programs at the Davidson River project in the southwestern Athabasca basin region, Northern Saskatchewan. The company has completed the first ExoSphere Multiphysics surveys in the southwestern Athabasca uranium district on Davidson River, outlining multiple highly prospective target areas across the Warrior, Bronco and Thunderbird conductor corridors. Highlights: Successful ExoSphere Multiphysics surveys: Combined 3-D ambient noise tomography and horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio velocity models and constrained ground gravity block models have been generated on the Warrior, Bronco and Thunderbird trends, providing critical subsurface information for guiding continuing exploration across the project. Critical vectors for high-grade uranium: Distinct gravity-low anomalies representing potential hydrothermal alteration zones have been identified across all three surveyed structural corridors, overlapping known electromagnetic conductors, extrapolated basement faults from previous drilling and basement velocity lows, marking structural disruption and/or favourable lithological contrasts. Multiple new targets also coincide with defined EM SmartMatch targets provided by ALS GoldSpot based on machine learning anomaly matching to the Arrow and Triple R deposits. Fall 2025 drill program: The company has secured drilling permits and executed exploration agreements with its Clearwater River Dene Nation partners. With vendors in place, the company is planning a four- to six-week drill program scheduled to commence in early September, 2025. Sean Hillacre, president and vice-president, exploration, of Standard Uranium, commented: "We have a clear geoscientific recipe for discovery at Davidson River leveraging exploration techniques and success next door at the Arrow and Triple R uranium deposits. The new data sets from our Multiphysics surveys unlock invaluable targeting information at Davidson River with the addition of gravity and seismic data outlining potential areas of significant hydrothermal alteration, akin to the geophysical signatures of nearby high-grade deposits in the same geological domain. The technical team and I are very excited to get the drills into the ground to test these new targets after several years of integrative targeting efforts." 2025 drill program -- integrative targeting ANT plus HVSR plus gravity grids covering uranium-bearing structural corridors on the project were designed to characterize lithological variations and alteration signatures, in addition to further refining the structural architecture of known basement conductors on Davidson River. The surveys have been completed, providing detailed data on subsurface features and enhancing the understanding of the geological framework in the area. Along each of the Warrior, Bronco and Thunderbird conductive trends, multiple gravity-low anomalies have been identified from constrained density models. These anomalies overlap with known EM conductors, extrapolated oriented core shearing/faulting and abrupt ANT-HVSR velocity anomalies that may represent basement wedges or vertically offset faulting, typical structural traps for uranium mineralization. Additionally, where these potential structures intersect gravity-low anomalies, they may indicate structurally focused hydrothermal alteration, such as clay replacement, which is commonly associated with basement-hosted uranium mineralization. The intersection of these geophysical anomalies with modelled graphitic shear zones results in multiple highly prospective drill target areas. Fall 2025 diamond drill program The company has completed comprehensive analysis and integration of survey data and plans to execute a diamond drilling program to test high-priority targets generated from the Multiphysics survey results. This 2025 diamond drill program marks the project's first drilling campaign since 2022. Drill targets will be prioritized based on integration of positive results from previous drilling, new ANT plus HVSR plus gravity anomalies, as well as ALS machine learning SmartMatch targets. The company has received processed high-confidence data sets from all three survey grids through joint inversion and modelling, resulting in optimized drill targeting for the September, 2025, program. About Davidson River Davidson River is Standard Uranium's flagship property, located in the southwestern Athabasca uranium district of the Athabasca basin, Saskatchewan, and encapsulates the inferred extension of the structural trend that hosts the Triple R and Arrow uranium deposits. The project consists of 10 contiguous mineral dispositions and lies approximately 25 to 30 kilometres west of Arrow and Triple R and 75 km south of the past-producing Cluff Lake uranium mines. The company has completed 16,561 metres of diamond drilling in 39 drill holes on the Davidson River property since 2020, which has further refined the exploration strategy for high-grade basement-hosted uranium mineralization on the property. Davidson River hosts four main conductive corridors: the Warrior, Bronco, Thunderbird and Saint trends. These conductive trends are associated with graphitic-sulphidic structures in basement rocks, which are commonly associated with high-grade uranium systems, providing the conduits for mineralizing fluids. This concept has been proved for all four corridors, with several instances of graphitic-sulphidic fault rocks and reactivated structures intersected along the tested strike length. Favourable basement rock types and alteration phases have been observed across the strike length of the main trends, resembling those which host other uranium deposits in the southwestern Athabasca basin region. Key indicators include clay-dravite alteration and stacked lenses of variably strained graphite and sulphide-bearing garnetiferous gneisses and altered feldspar-rich rocks. Structural zones in the basement are locally associated with elevated uranium and/or boron values (over 1,000 parts per million B), such as in DR-20-009 and 0113. The results from diamond drilling programs to date highlight the potential for the Davidson River project to host significant basement-hosted unconformity-related uranium mineralization, and the property contains several priority targets along all four trends that warrant further exploration. The company considers uranium mineralization with concentrations greater than 1.0 weight per cent triuranium octoxide to be high grade.

About Standard Uranium Ltd. Standard Uranium is a uranium exploration company and emerging project generator poised for discovery in the world's richest uranium district. The company holds interest in over 233,254 acres (94,394 hectares) in the world-class Athabasca basin in Saskatchewan, Canada. Since its establishment, Standard Uranium has focused on the identification, acquisition and exploration of Athabasca-style uranium targets with a view to discovery and future development. Standard Uranium's Davidson River project, in the southwestern part of the Athabasca basin, Saskatchewan, comprises 10 mineral claims over 30,737 hectares. Davidson River is highly prospective for basement-hosted uranium deposits due to its location along trend from recent high-grade uranium discoveries. However, owing to the large project size with multiple targets, it remains broadly undertested by drilling. Recent intersections of wide, structurally deformed and strongly altered shear zones provide significant confidence in the exploration model, and future success is expected. Standard Uranium's eastern Athabasca projects comprise over 42,303 hectares of prospective landholdings. The eastern basin projects are highly prospective for unconformity-related and/or basement-hosted uranium deposits based on historical uranium occurrences, recently identified geophysical anomalies and location along trend from several high-grade uranium discoveries. Standard Uranium's Sun Dog project, in the northwestern part of the Athabasca basin, Saskatchewan, is composed of nine mineral claims over 19,603 hectares. The Sun Dog project is highly prospective for basement- and unconformity-hosted uranium deposits yet remains largely untested by sufficient drilling despite its location proximal to uranium discoveries in the area. We seek Safe Harbor.
