Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 13, 2026) - Skeleton Coast Uranium Corp. (TSXV: SKEL) (OTC Pink: GLIIF) (FSE: KDM0) (the "Company" or "Skeleton Coast Uranium") is pleased to announce that, further to its news release of February 23, 2026, the Company has closed its non-brokered private placement through the issuance of 37,037,037 units (each, a "Unit") at a price of $0.135 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $5,000,000 (the "Offering"). Each Unit consists of one common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each whole warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one additional common share at a price of $0.20 per share until April 10, 2028.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to fund exploration, environmental, technical and administrative expenditures on the Company's Namibian uranium properties and for general working capital purposes.

In connection with completion of the Offering, the Company paid finder's fees of $138,301.89 and issued 1,024,458 non-transferable finder's warrants (the "Finder Warrants") to certain arms-length parties who introduced subscribers to the Offering. The Finder Warrants are exercisable on the same terms as the Warrants. All securities issued in connection with the Offering are subject to restrictions on resale until August 11, 2026, in accordance with applicable securities laws.

The Offering included subscriptions from four insiders of the Company in the aggregate amount of 1,100,000 Units. Participation in the Offering by an insider of the Company constitutes a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The issuance of securities to insiders of the Company is exempt from the valuation requirement and the minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 by virtue of the exemptions contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, in that the fair market value of the consideration of the securities issued to the insiders of the Company does not exceed twenty-five percent of the Company's market capitalization.

Acquisition

The Company also announces the closing of its previously announced acquisition of interests in five Exclusive Prospecting Licences located in Namibia (the "Acquisition").

The Company advises that, as of the closing of the Acquisition, regarding the issuance of the endorsed Exclusive Prospecting Licence 9727 ("EPL 9727"), the Company can confirm that Namibian counsel attended meetings at the Ministry of Industrialisation and Mines and Energy and engaged directly with the Chief Geologist for Controlled Minerals, Ms. Frieda Flavianu, who indicated that the process relating to EPL 9727 had progressed to the stage of delivery. In light of this, the Company is confident that the ministerial endorsement has now been completed and that the licence has effectively transitioned from "pending ECC" to active status.

We further confirm that the licence activation fee in the amount of N$10,000.00 has already been paid and the Ministry's records should accordingly be updated to reflect EPL 9727 as active and in good standing.
