Vancouver, Canada – April 7, 2026 – TheNewswire - URZ3 Energy Corp. (“URZ” or the “Company”)(TSX-V: URZ; OTCQB: URZEF), a leading exploration and development company focused on uranium, is pleased to announce that staking of claims and acquisition of state leases in the highly prospective Powder River Basin of Wyoming is ongoing. This strategic expansion is based on extensive reviews of newly acquired historical drill logs and reports from American Nuclear Drilling in the 1970s, as well as positive results from a recent radiometric survey conducted on the Company’s Dry Fork Uranium property. This combined data was critical in expanding the land position.

The Powder River Basin is renowned for its rich uranium deposits and has a storied history of uranium production. Members of the URZ3 team have firsthand experience in the area, having successfully put an In-Situ Recovery (ISR) mine into production in the past. This knowledge, combined with the newly acquired historical data and recent geophysical results, positions URZ3 to capitalize on the untapped potential of the region.

A radiometric survey was carried out over parts of the Dry Fork Uranium property in late 2025. The survey identified several areas with elevated radioactive counts. One area in particular in the north central part of the property delineated a broad zone across multiple lines.

“Our recent acquisitions in the Powder River Basin signify a pivotal step in our growth strategy,” said Darcy Higgs, Interim CEO of URZ3 Energy Corp. “The combination of our team’s in-depth experience and the wealth of historical information we have reviewed allows us to target areas with the highest potential for uranium resources. We are excited about the opportunity to advance these claims and leases into the next phase of exploration.”

The Company’s technical team has meticulously analyzed historical drilling data and geological reports, identifying key zones that demonstrate promising uranium mineralization. This data, coupled with findings from American Nuclear Drilling and the recent radiometric survey, has reinforced URZ’s belief in the viability of the region for future uranium production.

URZ3 Energy Corp. remains committed to sustainable and responsible mining practices while contributing to the growing demand for nuclear energy. The Powder River Basin’s strategic significance in the uranium market positions URZ to play a crucial role in the energy sector as global interest in clean energy sources continues to rise.

“We are dedicated to our mission of providing clean, reliable energy and are excited to explore the potential this region holds,” added Mr. Higgs. “This is just the beginning of our efforts in the Powder River Basin, and we look forward to updating our stakeholders on our progress.”
