Star Metro - Pegasus Resources Announces Binding Letter Agreement to be Acquired by Urano Energy Corp

Transaction Highlights
This transaction will see the consolidation of Urano's I-70 project (Urano NR October 27, 2025) and Pegasus' two adjoining properties, the Energy Sands and Jupiter projects. The Jupiter and Energy Sands projects cover approximately 3900 acres of unpatented mining claims with historic underground workings, drilling and known uranium mineralization. Of 41 surface and underground samples taken in 2024 by Pegasus, 13 returned uranium values in excess of 1.0% U₃O₈ with 12 of these samples returning V₂O₅ values ranging from 0.56 to more than 5.0% (Pegasus NR March 25, 2024). Historical drilling by Atlas Corp. on the Jupiter project has returned several intercepts containing greater than 1.0% U₃O₈ over a minimum of 2.5 feet within 20 feet of the surface Pegasus NR June 4, 2024). Downdip extensions of the known historic mineralization remain untested. Drill permits have been authorized for both Jupiter and Energy Sands.
