# District Comments on Uranium Mining Announcement from the Swedish Government - Legislative Proposal to Be Brought to Parliament *2025-09-02T02:00:00-04:00* District Comments on Uranium Mining Announcement from the Swedish Government - Legislative Proposal to Be Brought to Parliament Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 2, 2025) - **District Metals Corp. (TSXV: DMX) (Nasdaq First North: DMXSE SDB) (OTCQB: DMXCF) (FSE: DFPP)**; ("**District**" or the "**Company**") is pleased to announce that at a media briefing held by the Swedish Minister for Environment and Climate, Romina Pourmokhtari (L) on August 28, 2025 it was announced that the Swedish Government intends to submit a Legislative Proposal to Parliament to remove the current ban on uranium mining in Q4 of 2025. If approved, the new legislation permitting uranium mining and exploration will come into effect on January 1, 2026. The proposed changes will allow the extraction and exploration of uranium under the Swedish Minerals Act. As proposed, the amendments would also allow applications for exploration permits and processing concessions for uranium under specific conditions. This announcement follows a government inquiry into abolishing the existing ban on uranium mining which concluded in December 2024 that the ban should be removed and a subsequent submission to the Council on Legislation in June 2025 requested that uranium be permitted to be exploited like other natural resources regulated under the Minerals Act (please refer to our earlier news releases dated [December 23, 2024](https://api.newsfilecorp.com/redirect/xE2rkf8bbB), and [June 16, 2025](https://api.newsfilecorp.com/redirect/7nPN7ukjjg)). This significant policy shift marks a crucial step toward exploring new energy solutions and securing Sweden's energy future. Garrett Ainsworth, CEO of District, commented: "We are pleased to see that the Swedish government is moving forward with the removal of the uranium ban. It is obvious that the Swedish government's ambition is to create a regulatory framework where uranium is treated in the same fashion as other metals and minerals and with the same permitting requirements. If approved, the lifting of the uranium ban will create long-term clarity for us and increase our ability to attract investors, a necessity to continue to develop our uranium polymetallic projects going forward." **Technical Information** All scientific and technical information in this news release has been prepared by, or approved by Garrett Ainsworth, P.Geo., President and CEO of the Company.
