Premier American talks Kaycee initial drill results

PREMIER AMERICAN URANIUM EXPANDS AND FURTHER DEFINES URANIUM MINERALIZATION AT KAYCEE PROJECT, WYOMING WITH INITIAL 2026 DRILL RESULTS

Premier American Uranium Inc. has released preliminary results from the 2026 exploration drilling program at the company's wholly owned Kaycee project, located in the Powder River basin (PRB) of northeastern Wyoming. Drilling commenced at the Outpost target in May, 2026. To date, 19 drill holes have been completed for a total of 17,100 feet of drilling. A total of 100,000 feet of drilling are currently planned for the 2026 season, with specific focus on the Outpost, Rustler and Stampede exploration areas.

Highlights:

  • Infill and stepout drilling in the Outpost area has expanded and further defined the zone of known uranium mineralization. Nineteen conventional mud rotary holes have been completed for a total of 17,100 feet of drilling in 2026.
  • Seven of the 19 drill holes intersected uranium mineralization at grades of 0.02 per cent eU3O8 (equivalent triuranium octoxide) or higher (see Table 1 for significant intercepts).
  • Drilling results to date provide valuable lithologic information to support geologic interpretation and guide future exploration plans. Drilling has identified two target sand units within the lower Wasatch formation, both of which are host to uranium mineralization. The lower Wasatch formation is also the principal host of uranium mineralization in the Pumpkin Buttes district, just east of the Kaycee project area.
  • In conjunction with the drilling program, the company engaged a professional surveying contractor to complete a project-wide drill hole collar and elevation survey. This survey work is complete, and the results will be used to support future mineral resource estimation initiatives and continuing technical evaluation of the project.

Colin Healey, chief executive officer of Premier American Uranium, commented: "These initial results continue to highlight the exploration potential of the Kaycee project and reinforce our view that the district hosts multiple areas capable of generating meaningful uranium resources. The expansion of mineralization at Outpost, together with the geological insights gained from drilling, is improving our understanding of the controls on mineralization and helping refine targeting across the broader district.

"We began the 2026 program at Outpost due to seasonal accessibility and the compelling results generated from its discovery during the 2025 campaign. As a newly identified uranium-bearing system that remains in the early stages of exploration, Outpost has delivered encouraging results that support further follow-up work. With only a small portion of our planned 100,000-foot drill program completed, we are pleased with the progress to date and look forward to advancing drilling at Outpost while continuing to test the significant potential of the Rustler and Stampede target areas throughout the season."

Kaycee project

The Kaycee project in Wyoming's Powder River basin consists of over 42 square miles of mineral rights over a 36-mile mineralized trend hosting more than 110 miles of identified roll fronts. The project is believed to be the only project in the PRB where all three known historically productive sandstone formations (Wasatch, Fort Union and Lance) are mineralized and potentially accessible for ISR (in situ recovery) extraction. The project represents the largest grassroots ISR exploration in the United States, with upward of 400,000 feet of drilling completed since 2023.

Premier American Uranium anchors one of the strongest exploration portfolios in Wyoming, combining its Cyclone project in the Great Divide basin with Kaycee to drive one of the largest continuing drilling programs in the state and significantly expand its presence in both of the state's major ISR-amenable uranium districts.

Qualified person statement

The scientific and technical information contained in this news release was reviewed and approved by J.J. Brown, PG, SME-RM, Premier American Uranium's vice-president, exploration, who is a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. Ms. Brown has verified the data disclosed in this news release, including sampling, analytical and test data underlying the information contained herein.

The drilling results cited in this news release were derived from conventional mud rotary drill holes and continuously recorded geophysical responses (gamma-ray, spontaneous-potential and single-point resistivity) from a borehole geophysical probe. The mineralized zones are flat lying and the individual drill holes are vertical in orientation, and the thicknesses cited in this release are considered to be true thicknesses. Grades of mineralization reported were calculated from the gamma-ray logs following a procedure that was first developed in the early 1960s and is standard practice in the uranium industry. The borehole geophysical logging was carried out by Hawkins CBM Logging of Casper, Wyo., a highly experienced and skilled geophysical contractor with a well-established history of providing reliable and accurate data.

Other information regarding the company's Kaycee project, including with respect to the quality assurance and quality control measures applied during the work program can be referenced from the "Technical Report for NI 43-101 Kaycee Uranium Project, Johnson County, Wyoming, USA," dated Sept. 21, 2025, which is available under the company's profile on SEDAR+.
