Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 17, 2025) - Myriad Uranium Corp. (CSE: M) (OTCQB: MYRUF) (FSE: C3Q) ("Myriad" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the results of chemical assay (U3O8) grades from 20 boreholes at the Copper Mountain Uranium Project in Wyoming, USA (Figure 1). Chemical assay (U3O8) has been compared against the previously reportedequivalent spectral gamma probe results (eU3O8) and confirms high-grade uranium mineralisation at the Canning Deposit. Furthermore, certain U3O8intervals are higher, and lower, than their previously reportedeU3O8grades, indicating secular disequilibrium is present in the system. The U3O8grades reported here are on average 20% higher than the eU3O8grades over the same intervals. Results from the remaining 14 boreholes are pending and will be reported in due course.
Highlights
-
Although there is both positive and negative variance (disequilibrium), the uranium grades we have confirmed by chemical assay are on average 20% higher than previously reportedspectral gamma probe results.
-
Many intervals thought to contain low uranium concentrations based on gamma probe results have significantly higher concentrations than expected. This could have important implications for the project. The drill sampling will be expanded to include samples previously excluded as "low-grade" according to the gamma probe results.
-
Overall, results re-confirm the strong occurrence of high-grade intervals previously reported from the Canning Deposit, with numerous intervals exceeding 1,000 ppm U3O8over more than 3 feet and often exceeding the previously reported eU3O8values. See Table 1 and Appendix 1 below.

Thomas Lamb, Myriad's CEO, commented: "_Assays are 20% higher on average than our previously reported gamma probe results. Furthermore, assays have revealed extensive higher-grade uranium mineralisation where the probe detected low values. The potential implications of this are still being considered by management and its advisors. At a minimum, this is preliminary confirmation that, as some experts suspected, Union Pacific may have taken a conservative approach to accounting for disequilibrium at Copper Mountain.
Overall, the results are a material improvement on the already excellent gamma probe results announced on November 27, 2024_._I must caveat that these results only relate to one part of the project area, and historic grade discounting to account for potential disequilibrium may not apply across the entire project area. Although of course we hope it does. It may be that there are large volumes of uranium at Copper Mountain that have never been picked up by the gamma probes. We now need to analyse additional core and RC chips that may contain significant uranium mineralisation. We are waiting for assays relating to the remaining 14 boreholes which includes the deeper mineralisation at over 1,500 feet we picked up in CAN0034._"

Jim Davis, General Manager of Union Pacific's exploration at Copper Mountain during the late 1970s and current Technical Advisor to Myriad, commented: "This not only bodes well for Canning but works into our latest thinking about additional resource potential in the District."
-
George van der Walt, Myriad's consulting geologist and technical advisor, commented: "I am pleased to see that some of the high grades previously reported have held up to chemical assay and that some are even better than expected. The presence of disequilibrium in favour of chemical assay is also encouraging and requires further investigation."
-
Peak grade assayed so far is 8,325 ppm U3O8in CAN0006, up from 8,060 ppm eU3O8reported previously over the same interval.

Notes:
1. The interval lengths are "down the hole" and may not represent true width intervals as the exact nature of the mineralization distribution has not been determined yet. However, most of the holes were drilled at an inclination of 50 degrees to test a model that indicates steeply dipping mineralisation. 2. eU3O8is the radiometric equivalent U3O8derived from a calibrated total gamma downhole probe. 3. U3O8is the chemical assay of mineralized split core samples or RC cuttings. 4. Core sampling was conducted at 3 feet intervals, adjusted to minimum of 1 foot, where appropriate. 5. Reverse Circulation sampling was conducted at 5 feet intervals, according to the drilling procedure. 6. Assay interval depths have been adjusted to spectral gamma probe depths, where appropriate. 7. Intervals were composited above a cut-off grade of 1000 ppm U3O8over a minimum of 3 feet, with grade below cut-off less than 1 foot being included in the total interval. 8. Abbreviations: DD = Diamond Drill, RC = Reverse Circulation. 9. "High-grade uranium" is defined by the Company as composite results with >1000 ppm U3O8and no greater than 1-foot continuous internal dilution.

The boreholes represent a combination of diamond core and reverse circulation drilling that was planned to verify mineralization identified in drilling by Union Pacific in the late 1970s and test a grade shell model (above 0.05% eU3O8) created from cross-sections, as reported hereand here. Assay results reported in this release are represented by the borehole locations indicated on the map below. Details of the drilled positions are provided in Appendix 2.
Drilling
Drilling was undertaken by Harris Exploration using two diamond core (DD) rigs producing HQ (63.5 mm / 2.5 in) core diameter and 96 mm (3.78 in) in hole diameter, and one reverse circulation (RC) rig using a 140 mm (5.5 in) hammer bit. Core samples were packed into core trays and transported to Riverton for further processing. RC hole runs were drilled at 5 ft intervals and split on site by a rig-mounted cyclone splitter to produce two representative samples that were then transported to Riverton for further processing.
Downhole Logging
Downhole logging was performed by DGI Geoscience (DGI) using a combination of Spectral Gamma Ray (SGR) probe for gamma data, and Optical Televiewer and/or Acoustic Televiewer for structural data. The probes are manufactured by Mount Sopris Instruments with details as follows:
QL40 SGR BGO (Sx): Measures the energy of gamma emissions from natural sources within formations crossed by a borehole. It counts the number of gamma emissions at each energy level aiding in lithological determination and correlation. The Probe use a Bismuth Germanium Oxide scintillation crystal. QL40 SGR 2G CeBr3 (Sx): Measures the energy of gamma emissions from natural sources within formations crossed by a borehole. It counts the number of gamma emissions at each energy level aiding in lithological determination and correlation. The probe uses a CeBr3 (Cerium Bromide) scintillation crystal. QL 40 ABI 2G (At, Gr): Captures high-resolution, oriented images of the borehole wall, allowing the orientation of acoustically visible features to be determined. This includes fractures, bedding/rock fabric, breakouts, bedding planes and other structural features. Contains a built in Natural Gamma sensor that measures the gamma emissions from natural sources in the formation. QL OBI 2G (Ot, Gr): Captures a high-resolution, oriented image of the borehole wall using a CMOS digital image sensor, allowing the orientation of features to be determined. This includes fractures, bedding/rock fabric, veins, lithological contacts, etc. Contains a built in Natural Gamma sensor that measures the gamma emissions from natural sources in the formation.
The spectral gamma probes measure the full energy spectrum of the gamma radiation emitted naturally from within the formations crossed by a borehole. A Full Spectrum Analysis (FSA) was performed on the recorded energy spectra. The FSA derived, in real time, the concentration of the three main radioisotopes 40K, 238U, 212Th, and thus also provided insight into the mineral composition of the formations. DGI also ran optical and acoustic televiewer, when hole conditions allow, to obtain downhole structural information. Borehole paths are being measured using a gyroscopic deviation tool.
Initial manufacturer calibration certificates were provided to Myriad by DGI. Downhole gamma measurements were checked for a repeatability by comparing down and up runs in the borehole. DGI provided conversion of API units measured by the spectral gamma probes to eU3O8concentrations using a standard conversion theory and formula.
Geological Logging, Sampling and Analysis
Description of geological features (lithology, structure and alteration) was undertaken prior to sampling according to standardized logging templates. Core sampling intervals were selected primarily on the basis of lithological changes and in conjunction with radiometric intervals identified from the downhole spectral gamma probe measurements (using a 100-ppm cut-off). Core sample lengths are limited to a maximum of 3 feet and adjusted to a minimum of 1 foot, where appropriate, to capture significant features in the core. Reverse Circulation samples were collected and split at the rig in 5-foot intervals, with samples being selected based on downhole spectral gamma probe measurements (using a 100-ppm cut-off).
