The company then joined the South Dakota Mineral Industries Association and optioned its Great Divide Basin project while retaining a 10% carried interest. On Dec 2, 2025, Nexus executed the Chord acquisition, securing a 3,640‑acre property hosting 2.75 Mlb U3O8 inferred, followed by an advisory board strengthening on Dec 10, 2025.

Key Terms

u3o8, ni 43-101, in-situ recovery (isr), net smelter returns royalty, +2 more

6 terms

u3o8 medical

"contains total inferred mineral resources of 2.75 Mlb U₃O₈ at an average grade"

U3O8 is the chemical name for a stable form of uranium oxide commonly called “yellowcake,” the concentrated powder produced after uranium ore is processed. Investors track U3O8 because it represents the raw material that is turned into nuclear fuel; its supply, demand and price act like a commodity indicator that can move the value of mining companies, utilities and firms tied to the nuclear fuel chain. Think of it as the crude oil equivalent for nuclear power — a basic feedstock whose availability and cost affect an entire industry.

ni 43-101 regulatory

"(Chord Uranium Project NI 43-101, updated September 2025, prepared by BRS Inc.)"

A Canadian regulatory standard that sets the rules for how mining and exploration companies must report mineral resources and reserves, requiring technical reports prepared or signed off by an independent, certified expert. It matters to investors because it creates a consistent, transparent “inspection report” for mining projects, making it easier to compare prospects, judge the reliability of claims, and assess geological and financial risk before investing.

in-situ recovery (isr) technical

"evaluate the potential for in-situ recovery (ISR) with an upcoming exploration"

In-situ recovery (ISR) is a mining method where a liquid solution is pumped into an underground ore zone to dissolve targeted minerals, which are then pumped back to the surface for processing—think of extracting flavor by running water through a coffee filter left inside the ground. It matters to investors because ISR often lowers upfront costs, speeds up production and reduces surface disruption compared with traditional mining, but it also concentrates environmental and regulatory risks around groundwater management and permitting.

net smelter returns royalty financial

"The vendors will retain a 1.0% net smelter returns royalty (NSR) on future"

A net smelter returns (NSR) royalty is a contractual right to receive a percentage of the revenue generated from mined minerals after the ore has been processed and sold, with common deductions for refining, smelting and transport costs. Think of it like a landlord taking a slice of a tenant’s monthly sales after the tenant pays basic operating bills. Investors care because an NSR affects the future cash flow and valuation of a mining project and shifts some upside and downside risk away from the operator to the royalty holder.

nsr financial

"retail a 1.0% net smelter returns royalty (NSR) on future production"

NSR, or Net Service Revenue, is the total income a company earns from its core services after subtracting any discounts, refunds, or allowances. It reflects the actual money coming in from the main operations, similar to how a store’s sales revenue shows what it gains from selling products, minus returns or discounts. For investors, NSR provides a clearer picture of a company's true earning power from its primary business activities.

statutory hold period regulatory

"Any shares issued pursuant to the Agreement will be subject to a statutory hold period"

A statutory hold period is a legally required time window during which newly issued securities or shares received by insiders cannot be sold. It matters to investors because it affects when those shares can enter the market, influencing supply, short-term liquidity and potential price pressure—think of it like a temporary “no-sell” tag that prevents an immediate flood of items onto a store shelf after a big restock.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - December 2, 2025) - Nexus Uranium Corp. (CSE: NEXU) (OTCQB: GIDMF) (FSE: JA7) ("Nexus" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has executed a mineral property purchase agreement (the "Agreement") to immediately acquire a 100% interest in the Chord uranium project (the "Chord Property"), located in Fall River County, South Dakota. The Agreement replaces a previous option agreement and will provide Nexus with full ownership of the Chord Property, including State Section 36, currently being permitted. In total, the Chord Property now consists of 3,640 wholly owned acres.

Strategic Rationale

The Chord Property consolidates Nexus's land position in Fall River County, which lies within the southern Black Hills uranium district. The district has a history of uranium production and hosts geology favorable for sandstone-hosted uranium mineralization. The Chord Property alone contains total inferred mineral resources of 2.75 Mlb U₃O₈ at an average grade of 810 ppm over an average thickness of 8.5 feet (Chord Uranium Project NI 43-101, updated September 2025, prepared by BRS Inc.), with significant exploration upside potential. The Company aims to demonstrate the extension of mineralization south of the known October-Jinx mineralization onto the State Section 36 and evaluate the potential for in-situ recovery (ISR) with an upcoming exploration and drilling program anticipated to commence in early 2026 pending permitting.

"This acquisition represents an important step in consolidating our South Dakota uranium portfolio," said Jeremy Poirier, CEO of Nexus Uranium. "With uranium recently designated as a critical mineral by the U.S. Government, we believe domestic uranium projects in established mining jurisdictions will play an increasingly important role in meeting America's energy security needs."

The Chord Property acquisition follows the Company's September 2025 completion of its arrangement with Basin Uranium Corp., through which Nexus acquired Basin's existing uranium project portfolio.

Transaction Highlights

Under the terms of the Agreement, Nexus agreed to acquire a 100% interest in the Chord Property by paying aggregate consideration of US$100,000 cash and issuing 250,000 common shares to the vendors upon closing. The vendors will retain a 1.0% net smelter returns royalty (NSR) on future production, of which Nexus holds the right to repurchase 50% (being 0.5% NSR) for US$1,000,000 at any time prior to commencement of commercial production.

The transaction is subject to acceptance by the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "Exchange"). Closing is expected to occur within two business days following Exchange acceptance. Any shares issued pursuant to the Agreement will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months.
