The company’s project portfolio covers roughly 237,000 hectares across multiple underexplored, 100% owned and Cosa-operated joint venture uranium projects. Many of these properties are located within or adjacent to established uranium corridors in the eastern Athabasca Basin, an area known for high-grade uranium deposits.

Cosa Resources’ shares trade in the United States under the symbol COSAF. The company is also listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol COSA and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under SSKU, reflecting its access to Canadian, U.S., and European capital markets.

Uranium exploration focus in the Athabasca Basin

Cosa describes itself as a uranium exploration company operating in northern Saskatchewan. Its projects are situated in the Athabasca Basin region, including the eastern Athabasca Basin where several high-grade uranium deposits and mines are located. According to company disclosures, Cosa’s portfolio consists of multiple underexplored projects, some of which are 100% owned and others held through joint ventures operated by Cosa.

The company emphasizes that a majority of its projects lie within or near established uranium corridors. These corridors host known deposits and are considered prospective for additional discoveries. Cosa’s work includes identifying conductive trends, graphitic basement structures, sandstone alteration, and pathfinder geochemistry that may indicate proximity to uranium mineralization.

Key projects and joint ventures

Cosa highlights several core projects in its public news releases:

• Murphy Lake North (MLN): A uranium project in the eastern Athabasca Basin held as a 70/30 joint venture between Cosa (70%) and Denison Mines Corp. (30%). Murphy Lake North covers part of the Larocque Lake trend and is located approximately 2.7 to 3 kilometres from the Hurricane uranium deposit. Cosa is the operator of the project.
• Darby: A uranium project located about 10 kilometres west of Cameco’s Cigar Lake Mine in the eastern Athabasca Basin. Darby is also structured as a 70/30 joint venture between Cosa and Denison, with Cosa as operator. The project contains multiple conductive trends and historical intersections of weak uranium mineralization.
• Orbit: A 100% owned uranium project situated roughly 21 kilometres south of Cameco’s Key Lake mill and historical Key Lake mine in the southeastern Athabasca Basin region. Orbit has been expanded by Cosa to cover coincident radon, helium, and hydrogen anomalies and electromagnetic conductors.
• Astro: A uranium project where Cosa has partnered with Global Uranium Corporation under an option agreement. Z-Tipper Electromagnetic (ZTEM) surveying at Astro has identified over 25 kilometres of prospective east-northeast trending conductive strike length within the project area.

In addition to these projects, Cosa notes that it operates multiple joint ventures with Denison Mines, including Murphy Lake North, Darby, and Packrat. Denison is described as Cosa’s largest shareholder and a key strategic partner.

Strategic collaboration with Denison Mines

In January 2025, Cosa entered into what it calls a transformative strategic collaboration with Denison Mines. According to Cosa’s news releases, this collaboration has secured access to several additional highly prospective eastern Athabasca uranium exploration projects for Cosa. As Cosa’s largest shareholder, Denison gains exposure to Cosa’s exploration activities and project pipeline.

Through this relationship, Denison participates in joint venture projects such as Murphy Lake North and Darby, and has indicated its intention in certain periods to fund its share of exploration expenditures to maintain its joint venture interests. Cosa’s disclosures also describe Denison’s role as a joint venture partner and a source of technical data and historical exploration information on some projects.

Exploration approach and technical focus

Cosa’s public technical disclosures describe an exploration approach that includes:

• Drilling programs targeting conductive trends and graphitic basement faults interpreted from electromagnetic surveys.
• Evaluation of sandstone alteration, clay mineralogy (including illite and chlorite), bleaching, desilicification, and structurally controlled zones as indicators of uranium-bearing systems.
• Use of airborne and ground-based geophysical methods, such as ZTEM surveys and DC resistivity, to map basement conductivity and identify prospective trends.
• Remote sensing for pathfinder gases such as radon, helium, and hydrogen at certain projects, particularly where sandstone cover is absent.
• Systematic relogging and verification of historical drill core and geophysical data from the Saskatchewan Mineral Assessment Database (SMAD) and other sources.

At Murphy Lake North, Cosa reports identifying strong sandstone structure and alteration associated with graphitic basement faulting along the Cyclone trend, as well as hydrothermal alteration along the Hurricane trend. At Darby, Cosa has identified priority follow-up drill targets along conductive trends such as Delta and Charlie, based on historical drilling that intersected anomalous uranium and alteration signatures. At Orbit, Cosa has expanded its land position to cover coincident pathfinder gas anomalies and EM conductors, and at Astro, ZTEM surveying has outlined extensive conductive strike length considered prospective for Athabasca-style uranium deposits.

Management experience and exploration track record

Cosa emphasizes that its management and technical team have a track record of uranium exploration success in Saskatchewan. Company disclosures state that, in 2022, members of the Cosa team received the AME Colin Spence Award for their involvement in the discovery of IsoEnergy’s Hurricane deposit. Cosa also notes that its personnel have led or played integral roles in the discovery of Denison’s Gryphon deposit and 92 Energy’s GMZ zone, and have held key roles in the founding of NexGen and IsoEnergy.

The company further notes that its team has experience in identifying and advancing high-potential drill targets in the Athabasca Basin, including work on projects that are now considered significant uranium discoveries or deposits.

Corporate development and capital markets activity

Cosa’s news releases describe several corporate and capital markets activities, including:

• Participation in mining and investor conferences, such as the Red Cloud Fall Mining Showcase and the Metals Investor Forum in Vancouver, where company representatives present updates on exploration progress and plans.
• Engagement of marketing and digital media firms to provide investor relations, branding, and digital marketing services aimed at expanding market awareness of the company and its exploration activities.
• Stock option grants to directors, officers, employees, and advisors under the company’s incentive stock option plan.
• Issuance of common shares to Denison Mines as deferred consideration under an acquisition agreement, with Denison filing early warning reports in connection with changes to its ownership position.

These activities are described by Cosa as supporting its communication with stakeholders and funding of exploration programs across its project portfolio.

Business model and sector classification

Based on available information, Cosa Resources operates as a mineral exploration company in the uranium segment of the basic materials sector. The company’s activities are focused on acquiring, exploring, and advancing early-stage and more advanced uranium exploration projects in the Athabasca Basin region of Saskatchewan. Cosa’s disclosures emphasize that many of its projects are underexplored and that its work is directed toward identifying and testing targets that could host Athabasca-style uranium deposits.

The company’s classification in stock market data as part of the Other Industrial Metals & Mining industry within the Basic Materials sector reflects its focus on mineral exploration rather than production. Cosa’s public releases concentrate on exploration milestones, technical results, and joint venture arrangements rather than on mining or processing operations.

Relationship with partners and option counterparties

In addition to Denison Mines, Cosa has entered into an option agreement with Global Uranium Corporation covering the Astro project. Under this agreement, Global Uranium may earn up to an 80% interest in Astro over multiple exploration stages, with Cosa reporting that Global Uranium funded the ZTEM survey and related work. Cosa’s disclosures describe this arrangement as a way to advance Astro through partner-funded exploration while retaining an interest in the project.

Across its joint ventures and option agreements, Cosa’s role is often described as project operator, responsible for planning and executing exploration programs in collaboration with partners and advisors.
