Executive Summary

  • Foremost Clean Energy reported significant 2025 exploration successes, including a high‑grade uranium intercept (0.87% U₃O₈ over 0.45 m) at Hatchet Lake and multiple gold hits at Jean Lake (10.7 g/t Au over 5.6 m; 82 g/t Au over 0.7 m).
  • The company raised approximately $5.65 M from warrant and option exercises, completed a spin‑out of non‑core assets to Rio Grande Resources (share‑exchange 2:1) while retaining a 19.95% stake, and saw Denison Mines increase its ownership by purchasing 485,000 shares for $1.067 M.
  • Balance sheet strength improved markedly – debt reduced ~40%, assets more than doubled, and shareholders’ equity increased substantially – positioning Foremost for an aggressive 2026 drilling program across its uranium and gold projects.
