Atha Energy Final Assays From 2025 Angilak Exploration Program Confirm High-Grade Discoveries at KU and Mushroom Lake Targets - Grades up to 1.56% U3O8 and 1.10% U3O8, Respectively, and Expansion of Mineralization at the Lac 50 Deposit With Grades up to 1

ATHA Energy Validates District-Scale Uranium Potential at Angilak as $63M War Chest Targets Massive 2026 Expansion

Executive Summary

The most recent news (Feb 26, 2026) confirms final assay results from the 2025 Angilak Exploration Program in Nunavut. Key highlights include: - High-Grade Discoveries: Confirmed grades up to 1.56% $U_3O_8$ at the KU target and 1.10% $U_3O_8$ at Mushroom Lake. - System Expansion: Drilling at the J4/Ray zone (Lac 50 Deposit) extended mineralization with grades up to 1.47% $U_3O_8$, proving the deposit remains open. - Scale Confirmation: Widespread mineralization at the KU Discovery area suggests a much larger mineralizing system than previously modeled. - Corridor Development: The program successfully de-risked three major corridors: Lac 50 (21 km), KU-Nine Iron (14 km), and the Mineralized RIB Corridor (18 km).

Material Impact

The impact is Material - Positive. While the market was aware of radioactivity from preliminary "gamma probe" data in late 2025, these final chemical assays confirm that the radioactivity is indeed high-grade uranium. - De-risking: The 100% success rate in intersecting mineralization across 45 of 46 holes drilled since 2024 is statistically significant for a junior explorer. - Strategic Validation: The results validate the "Athabasca-style" thesis for the Angikuni Basin, which is critical for attracting major mining partners. - Funding Synergy: These results arrived just weeks after the company closed a massive $63 million financing (Feb 5, 2026), ensuring the company is fully funded to exploit these new discoveries immediately.

Company Overview

ATHA Energy is a Canadian uranium explorer with a massive land package across the Athabasca Basin (Saskatchewan), Thelon Basin, and its flagship Angilak Project in Nunavut. Angilak is a district-scale asset hosting the Lac 50 deposit. The project is unique because it shows geological similarities to the high-grade Athabasca Basin but remains significantly less explored.
