KIRKSTONE METALS HIGHLIGHTS STRATEGIC ROLE AMID POSSIBLE IRAN CEASEFIRE AND PROJECT VAULT DEFENSE INITIATIVES

Kirkstone Metals Corp. has acknowledged the recent Iran ceasefire, a development that contributes to stability in global defence and energy supply chains.

"Project Vault, supported by the U.S. government, underscores the urgent need for secure domestic uranium to support military, defence and strategic energy infrastructure," said a spokesperson for Kirkstone Metals. "Uranium is critical for advanced nuclear technologies, national defence readiness and the energy systems that underpin military operations. The recent U.S. Department of Energy announcement of $2.7-billion in contracts to restore domestic uranium enrichment capabilities highlights the country's commitment to securing these strategic resources. Kirkstone Metals' North American uranium assets are ideally positioned to support these defence priorities.

"Amid ongoing global tensions, uranium demand remains on a strong long-term trajectory. Total global uranium usage is projected to rise as nations prioritize energy security, low-carbon power and strategic stockpiles," added the spokesperson. "Project Vault reinforces the importance of resilient domestic supply chains, and Kirkstone Metals is advancing its high-grade uranium portfolio to help meet these critical defence and energy needs."

Kirkstone Metals continues to develop its uranium projects to deliver reliable, long-term value for defence, industrial and clean energy markets, supporting secure, strategic access to uranium for national and allied security initiatives.
