F3 Uranium Corp announced significant assay results from its PLN Property drilling program, with notable findings at the JR Zone. Drillhole PLN24-161 yielded 10.5m of 2.66% U3O8, including a high-grade interval of 2.0m averaging 12.0% U3O8, with an ultra-high grade core of 0.5m at 20.7% U3O8. The company also discovered an A1 Shear Extension approximately 400m south of the Harrison Fault, representing a potential expansion of the mineralized zone. PLN24-184 intersected significant mineralization over 13.5m, including 1.5m of off-scale radioactivity.

Discovers A1 Shear Extension 3.2km South of JR

Kelowna, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 29, 2024) - F3 Uranium Corp (TSXV: FUU) (OTC Pink: FUUFF) ("F3" or "the Company") is pleased to announce assay results for thirteen drillholes of the ongoing 2024 drill program on the PLN Property, including PLN24-161 at the JR Zone (see NR August 13, 2024) which returned 10.5m of 2.66% U3O8, including a high grade 2.0m interval averaging 12.0% U3O8, further including an ultra-high grade core of 0.5m of 20.7% U3O8. Significant mineralization over a 13.5m interval was intersected in PLN24-184 on line 105S at JR, including 1.5m off-scale radioactivity (>65,535 cps) between 235.60 and 240.10m.

Exploration drilling focused mainly on the B1 area close to, and south of the Harrison Fault, with a number of very prospective drill holes, highlighted by PLN24-187 which was drilled on line 3240S, approximately 400m south of the Harrison Fault, and on section with PLN24-183. PLN24-183 was the first hole to intersect what is interpreted to be the southern extension of the A1 shear zone hosting the JR Zone. Due to encouraging alteration and intense shearing a down dip hole was drilled, and PLN24-187 encountered intense alteration and anomalous radioactivity (see Table 1 and Photo 1).

Sam Hartmann, Vice President Exploration, commented:

"Today's update includes scintillometer results of drilling in the JR Zone, where three holes successfully targeted high grade mineralization in areas of lower drill hole density, as well as high-grade assay results of drillholes completed and previously announced earlier in the program. Exploration drilling south of the Harrison Fault discovered the A1 Shear Extension, ~400m beyond the previously interpreted southern extent of the A1 shear, as a discrete continuation, and parallel to the B1 structures. This potential for stacked and parallel structure south of Harrison Fault provides further high priority drill targets for high grade uranium mineralization."

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.

Composited weight % U3O8 mineralized intervals are summarized in Table 1. Samples from the drill core are split in half sections on site. Where possible, samples are standardized at 0.5m down-hole intervals. One-half of the split sample is sent to SRC Geoanalytical Laboratories (an SCC ISO/IEC 17025: 2005 Accredited Facility) in Saskatoon, SK while the other half remains on site for reference. Analysis includes a 63 element suite including boron by ICP-OES, uranium by ICP-MS and gold analysis by ICP-OES and/or AAS.

The Company considers uranium mineralization with assay results of greater than 1.0 weight % U3O8 as "high grade" and results greater than 20.0 weight % U3O8 as "ultra-high grade."

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