Hits 0.71m of Off-Scale (>65,535cps) within 12.0m of Mineralization at JR

Kelowna, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 13, 2024) - F3 Uranium Corp (TSXV: FUU) (OTCQB: FUUFF) ("F3" or "the Company") is pleased to announce recent JR Zone high grade infill summer drilling highlighted by PLN24-161, which intersected mineralization over 12.0m, including 2.0m of high grade (>10,000cps) also hosting 0.71m of composite off-scale mineralization (>65,535 cps). Drill hole PLN24-163 at JR intersected 0.90m of composite high grade mineralization (>10,000 cps) within 20.5m of mineralization (>300cps). JR Zone infill holes targeted areas of low drill hole density within the high-grade core of the zone. These holes help to improve and define the continuity of grade within the JR Zone.

F3 engaged Computational Geosciences to provide new geologically constrained inversions of ground loop time domain electromagnetic (GTEM) and direct current (DC) resistivity data already collected on the ground. These parametric models of electric conductivity (see Figure 1) defined a clear extension of the B1 trend which was tested and validated with drillhole PLN24-168, a 700m step-out along strike from PLN24-126, which was the most southeasterly hole along the B1 shear zone previously and 1,300m from its northwest end. Drill hole PLN24-168 intersected a 14.2m strongly prospective and wide clay altered graphitic shear zone approximately 110m below the Athabasca Unconformity in the down-dip direction (see Photo 1). Additionally, the inversion indicated the B1 conductor trend to continue to the southeast an additional 700m to the edge of the survey block resulting in an approximate 80% increase in the total implied strike length of the B1 shear zone to 2.7km.

Sam Hartmann, Vice President Exploration, commented:

"PLN24-168 was collared on line 4245S, approximately 1.2 km along strike from the Harrison Fault and PLN24-152 area, opening up an additional 700m of prospective strike from previous drilling. This wildcat hole was collared conservatively, testing the newly defined conductive feature well below the Athabasca Unconformity; an altered and strongly graphitic shear representing the continuation of B1 was intersected as predicted from the conductivity model; it also exhibited elevated radioactivity averaging 200 cps peaking up to 240cps; although that doesn't quite meet our reporting threshold of 300 cps, it adds to the prospectivity and follow-up holes are now being planned for that area. Geochemistry results from this ongoing drill program are being integrated into our models and drill plans as they arrive which is assisting us with targeting with greater confidence."

Handheld spectrometer composite parameters:
1: Minimum Thickness of 0.5m
2: CPS Cut-Off of 300 counts per second
3: Maximum Internal Dilution of 2.
0m

Natural gamma radiation in the drill core that is reported in this news release was measured in counts per second (cps) using a handheld Radiation Solutions RS-125 scintillometer. The Company considers greater than 300 cps on the handheld spectrometer as anomalous, >10,000 cps as high grade and greater than 65,535 cps as off-scale. The reader is cautioned that scintillometer readings are not directly or uniformly related to uranium grades of the rock sample measured and should be used only as a preliminary indication of the presence of radioactive materials.

All depth measurements reported are down-hole and true thickness are yet to be determined.

FAQ

What were the key results from F3 Uranium's summer drilling program at the JR Zone?

F3 Uranium's summer drilling program at the JR Zone yielded significant results, including a 12.0m mineralization interval with 0.71m of off-scale radioactivity in PLN24-161, and a 20.5m mineralization interval with 0.90m of high-grade mineralization in PLN24-163.

How did the 700m step-out hole (PLN24-168) impact F3 Uranium's B1 shear zone?

The 700m step-out hole (PLN24-168) expanded F3 Uranium's B1 shear zone by 80%, increasing its total implied strike length to 2.7km. This significantly enhances the exploration potential of the area.

What new geophysical techniques did F3 Uranium (FUUFF) use to extend the B1 trend?

F3 Uranium used new geologically constrained inversions of ground loop time domain electromagnetic (GTEM) and direct current (DC) resistivity data to define a clear extension of the B1 trend, which was subsequently validated by drilling.

What was the significance of drill hole PLN24-168 for F3 Uranium's exploration efforts?

Drill hole PLN24-168 was a 700m step-out that intersected a 14.2m strongly prospective and wide clay altered graphitic shear zone, validating the geophysical model and opening up an additional 700m of prospective strike from previous drilling.
