Mustang Energy Corp. Expands Land Por�olio Across the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan

Vancouver, Bri�sh Columbia, October 10, 2024 – Mustang Energy Corp. (CSE: MEC)(the “Company” or “Mustang”) is pleased to announce the acquisi�on of 45,585 hectares of prospec�ve land across the Southern and Western Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan. This expansion was achieved through a combina�on of low-cost staking and a strategic purchase agreements, as previously announced in the Company’s news release dated September 9, 2024 and September 26, 2024.

The newly acquired proper�es include the Yellowstone Project (21,820 hectares – see Figure 2), the Du�on Project (9,666 hectares – see Figure 3), and three addi�onal claims (14,098 hectares) which are currently unnamed. With these acquisi�ons, Mustang’s total land holdings in the Athabasca Basin have increased from 10,644 hectares—comprising the Ford Lake, Cigar Lake East, and Roughrider South projects—to an impressive 56,229 hectares (see Figure 1).

“This is another significant land acquisi�on that marks a major milestone for Mustang Energy Corp as we con�nue to strengthen our asset base in the world's premier uranium-producing region,” stated Nick Luksha, CEO of Mustang Energy. “We successfully secured these adjoining claims to our exis�ng land package. Since going public in early June, we've expanded our por�olio and intend to further strengthen our team. These claims are located in uranium-rich areas, offering excellent explora�on poten�al, and we believe they will enhance long-term value for our shareholders.”

Acquisi�on of the Yellowstone Project

Mustang completed the previously announced acquisi�on of a land package in the Cluff Lake region of the Athabasca Basin from Proton Uranium Ltd. and Electron Uranium Ltd. (together, the “Vendors”), in exchange for the issuance of 12,000,000 common shares (each, a “Share”) in the capital of Mustang to three nominees (the “Nominees”) of the Vendors at a deemed price per Share of $0.255. All Shares issued as considera�on to the Nominees are subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance. Moreover, the Nominees have entered into a voluntary pooling agreement whereby the Shares cannot be sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of un�l February 10, 2026.

Further to the acquisi�ons discussed above, Mustang is also pleased to announce that it has completed the acquisi�on of a 90% interest in the Brown Lake project (the “Project”) pursuant to the terms of a mineral property acquisi�on agreement (the “Agreement”) with Standard Uranium (Saskatchewan) Ltd. (“Standard Uranium SK”) dated September 25, 2024, as previously announced in Mustang’s news release dated September 27, 2024. Mustang issued 60,000 Shares at a deemed price per Share of $0.33 to Standard Uranium Ltd. (“Standard Uranium”), Standard Uranium SK’s parent company, as considera�on for the acquisi�on.

Acquisi�on Highlights:

Yellowstone Project

  • 100% owned by Mustang Energy, the Yellowstone Project consists of seven adjoining claims totaling 21,820 hectares.
  • The property is located approximately 16 kilometers from the Cluff Lake Mine, which has produced over 62 million pounds of uranium¹, and is adjacent to Fission Uranium’s West Cluff Project.
  • Surrounds the Carswell Impact Structure, an 18-kilometer-wide feature believed to have been created by a meteorite impact, exposing basement rock with significant high-grade uranium poten�al.
  • The property is transected by known conductors, sugges�ng poten�al explora�on targets.
  • One historic drill hole (SYL-1) encountered strong altera�on but missed the intended conduc�ve target.²

Du�on Project

  • The Du�on Project spans 9,667 hectares over three adjoining claims in the Southern Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan.
  • Situated near the Cable Bay Shear Zone within the Mudja�k Domain, which is known to host uranium anomalies in the basement rock.
  • The project is located approximately 20 kilometers east of the Virgin River Shear Zone, which hosts the Dufferin Lake Zone and Centennial deposit. These deposits have demonstrated high-grade uranium mineraliza�on, including intersec�ons of 1.73% U₃O₈ over 6.5 meters and 8.78% U₃O₈ over 33.9 meters.³,⁴
  • The area remains underexplored, offering what Mustang believes to be poten�al for uranium discoveries.

Taken together, Mustang believes these acquisi�ons highlight Mustang’s commitment to expanding its por�olio of highquality uranium assets within the Athabasca Basin, renowned for its uranium produc�on. As global energy markets transi�on toward low-carbon solu�ons, the Company believes that nuclear energy—and the uranium that fuels it— will con�nue to play an important role in the sustainable energy landscape.

Mustang remains commi�ed to responsible explora�on, ensuring that its opera�ons are conducted in an environmentally and socially sustainable manner, while contribu�ng posi�vely to the communi�es in which it operates.
