VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Foremost Clear Vitality Ltd. (NASDAQ: FMST) (CSE: FAT) (“Foremost” or the “Firm”) an rising North American uranium and lithium exploration firm, is happy to announce that the 2025 winter exploration program (the “Drill Program”) on the Hatchet Lake Uranium Venture (“Hatchet“), positioned within the world-renowned Athabasca Basin of northern Saskatchewan, has commenced. The preliminary part of this system is concentrated on web site preparation, together with modest clearing and setup of the areas focused for diamond drill testing, which is predicted to start within the coming days. The Drill Program is designed to follow-up on encouraging outcomes from earlier drill applications accomplished by Denison Mines Corp. (“Denison”) (TSX: DML, NYSE American: DNN), Foremost’s largest shareholder and strategic ally, together with a number of intersections of uranium mineralization.

Foremost’s CEO and President Jason Barnard feedback: “We’re more than happy to launch Foremost’s preliminary exploration program at Hatchet, which is designed to drill-test high-priority targets. This undertaking is effectively located within the coronary heart of the japanese Athabasca Basin, which has allowed Foremost to shortly develop a winter area program by making use of the numerous present infrastructure within the area – most notably the amenities at Factors North Touchdown positioned close to Denison’s 22.5%-owned McClean Lake mill. We anticipate to have a drill turning within the not-too-distant future and are wanting ahead to preserving the market updated with outcomes.
Foremost’s pivot to uranium exploration is effectively timed, because the uranium market is at a essential juncture, with rising demand for nuclear energy, pushed by the worldwide power transition, the rise of AI, and the necessity for dependable baseload electrical energy, met by a shortfall of main uranium manufacturing, requiring new sources of provide to be developed and found. Over 30 international locations and 160 firms have pledged to triple nuclear energy capability by 2050, however because of a number of years of low uranium costs, uranium provide is struggling to maintain tempo. This imbalance has created a historic alternative for uranium producers, builders, and explorers, significantly in secure jurisdictions like Canada. With provide tight, demand rising, and authorities insurance policies shifting, nuclear power and uranium are poised for a promising future.

Hatchet Lake Drill Program
The preliminary program is deliberate to consist of two,000 metres of diamond drilling in 8 drill holes with goal depths of roughly 250 metres every. Drilling is predicted to give attention to two excessive precedence goal areas: Tuning Fork and Richardson.
This system is designed to focus on sandstone-hosted and basement-hosted uranium mineralization alongside conductive traits/corridors with identified and interpreted fault constructions recognized by earlier drilling, airborne and floor electromagnetic (“EM”) and magnetic geophysical surveys. This concentrating on methodology goals to maximise the chance of intersecting high-grade uranium mineralization much like present notable deposits (Cigar Lake, McClean Lake, & McArthur River) within the Jap Athabasca Basin.

Drill Goal Precedence
Drill targets have been prioritized to follow-up in areas the place earlier outcomes with confirmed uranium mineralization are coincident with untested conductive anomalies recognized by means of historic geophysical surveys. The intent is to develop identified mineralization and uncover extra mineralization by testing a number of high-potential areas prioritized for follow-up on completion of the 2024 exploration program (see press launch March 04, 2025). Key areas of focus embrace:
- 2024 drilling recognized mineralization of as much as 0.11% U3O8 (RL-24-29) alongside the Richardson conductor (see Determine 1). 2025 drill holes intend to check the extent of the mineralized zone to the NW alongside the conductive pattern. Basement mineralization potential stays untested SE of this zone and can be a precedence for 2025
- Quite a few untested EM conductors exist (as much as 700 metres of strike size) over the Richardson declare. Uranium mineralization, alteration, and anomalous geochemistry is confirmed alongside examined conductors, which demonstrates the invention potential of Hatchet. The 2025 drilling marketing campaign plans to check potential sources of the geochemical anomaly
- Strongly anomalous geochemistry and graphitic brecciated shear zones intersected in 2024 alongside the Tuning Fork Pattern warrant extra drilling and 2025 drill testing is predicted to give attention to the up-dip projection of the construction intersected in TF-24-12 (see Determine 2)
- Deliberate drillholes goal west of the historic mineralization in HL-10-01 (0.1% U3O8 over 1 metre at 183-184 metres & 0.02% U3O8 over 1metre at 186-187 metres) in a 9 metre fault intersection and not too long ago recognized elevated pathfinder components encountered in TF-24-11

Historic drilling (HT-83-61) comprises a 5 m (100 – 105 m) pattern of base steel mineralization related to sturdy radioactivity in a breccia zone. Structural data is required on this interval and can be anticipated to be collected as a part of the deliberate drill program. HT-83-61 is a notable historic outcome, because of its high-grade nickel and cobalt contents, summarized beneath: 1
- 4.9% Ni
- 6.06% Co
- 47.6% As
- Radiometric peak at 980 cps in downhole probe
By strategically concentrating on interpreted constructions and conductive breaks recognized by means of floor geophysics, the exploration program goals to maximise the potential for discovery in these high-priority areas.

The Hatchet Benefit – Shallow Depth Exploration

Article content material
Hatchet is positioned inside 1.5 km of the Athabasca Basin margin, which ends up in shallow sandstone cowl (lower than 220 metres) and corresponding shallow exploration targets, enabling environment friendly and cost-effective drill testing. The upcoming 2025 drill marketing campaign plans to capitalize on this benefit, together with a number of drill holes to advance the analysis of a number of goal areas – every of that are extremely potential and have potential for discovery or which is able to profit in future drill applications from extra reconnaissance.
