MANHATTAN APPOINTS FORMER U.S. DEPUTY ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF DEFENSE AND CRITICAL MINERALS POLICY EXPERT DENNIS BARTOW AS STRATEGIC ADVISER

Manhattan Uranium Discovery Corp. has appointed Dennis W. Bartow II as strategic adviser to the company.

Mr. Bartow is a critical minerals and national security specialist who advises mining, refining and advanced manufacturing companies across the United States and allied nations on securing U.S. government financing, and building strategic partnerships. He is the founder, president and chief executive officer of Polemarchoi Inc., a strategic advisory firm operating at the intersection of defence, energy and critical minerals. Mr. Bartow will support Manhattan's engagement with U.S. federal policy-makers, agencies and financing institutions as the company advances its portfolio of past-producing uranium mines across Utah, Colorado and Nevada, assets positioned to help address the domestic supply gap at the centre of the U.S. nuclear energy renaissance.

Uranium's designation as a critical mineral combined with growing federal support rebuilding the domestic nuclear fuel supply places the company's U.S. mine portfolio squarely within the critical minerals policy framework. Mr. Bartow's experience with the federal programs is tied to that framework, including the Defense Production Act, the U.S. Department of Energy Loan Programs Office, U.S. Department of Defense Programs and Export-Import Bank of the United States Financing, is expected to support the company's efforts to engage the policy and funding mechanisms supporting America's nuclear energy agenda.

Galen McNamara, CEO and director of Manhattan, commented: "Dennis served this country for nearly three decades in uniform and went on to hold some of the most senior policy positions in the Pentagon. He has spent his career at the intersection of policy, capital and industrial capability and he understands the federal machinery as well as anyone in this sector. As we advance a portfolio of past-producing American uranium assets at a moment when domestic fuel security has become a national priority, his counsel on how Washington works will be of real value to our shareholders."

Mr. Bartow commented: "America gave away its nuclear fuel supply chain over three decades and is now rebuilding it under time pressure. Manhattan is working the right end of that problem -- brownfield assets in proven districts, with existing permits and historic production behind them. I am glad to help the team navigate the federal landscape as they advance these projects."

The company has granted Mr. Bartow incentive stock options to purchase 100,000 common shares at an exercise price of 22 cents per share for a period of two years. The options vest over a six-month period and are subject to the acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.
