Continued Advancement Of Rio Puerco Towards Drilling

VANCOUVER – North Shore Uranium Ltd. has filed a Minimal Impact Exploration Operation Permit Application for its Rio Puerco uranium project in the Grants Uranium District of northwestern New Mexico. In addition, the Company has staked 19 new mining claims at the Project and is continuing to prepare for its 2026 drill program now scheduled to commence in May 2026.
With the addition of the New Claims, the Company now controls 83 Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) claims. The Company’s planned 2026 drill program aims to validate the data used to estimate the Historical Resource that was based on the Kerr-McGee drill data and confirm uranium mineralization outside of the Historical Resource. The Company has selected 27 sites for drilling and the proposed drill sites were assessed in the field in February. A Permit Application covering the proposed drill program was submitted to the New Mexico Mining and Minerals Division.
Brooke Clements, President and CEO, said, “We look forward to getting the drills turning and advancing our Rio Puerco Project in the past-producing Grants Uranium District in New Mexico, USA. The drill program is designed to validate the known Historical Resource and begin expanding the uranium mineralization footprint. The USA is a prime jurisdiction for uranium exploration given the federal government’s strong support for increasing domestic uranium production and nuclear power capacity.”
