Star Metro - Future Fuels Completes Gravity Survey At Hornby; Multiple Priority Anomalies Identified; Marketing Update

The Survey was completed by EarthEx Geophysical Solutions Inc. (EarthEx) and represents the most detailed gravity dataset ever acquired across the Hornby Basin uranium district. The program successfully delineated several high-priority gravity anomalies spatially associated with major structural corridors, stratigraphic boundaries, and known uranium mineralization, significantly advancing Future Fuels' understanding of subsurface density architecture across the Mountain Lake area.

Future Fuels President & CEO Rob Leckie commented: "The data we were able to collect meets the expectations we had for this initiative at Hornby. The gravity response over Mountain Lake has generated clear targets, and the new anomalies we've uncovered have the features of a much larger uranium system. We are optimistic and excited to advance these targets into drilling and unlock what we believe is a district-scale opportunity and use this geophysical technique elsewhere on this massive land tenure."

The 2025 program forms part of Future Fuels' broader district-scale exploration strategy at the Hornby Project, supporting the Company's objective of expanding on the historical Mountain Lake uranium system and identifying additional mineralized zones along the Helmut-Imperial structural corridor. Field operations were conducted between mid-September and early October. The Company more than doubled the size of the historical IsoEnergy gravity data set, and EarthEx merged the new data together with the datasets from 2022 and 2024.

The field program deployed multiple Scintrex CG-5 gravimeters and a dual-frequency Emlid Reach RS2/RS2+ RTK GNSS system. The 2025 campaign included establishing and verifying control stations, drift testing all instruments through extended 24-hour warm-up cycles, and performing daily tie-ins to the Gravity Control Station (GCS) established during the 2024 program. Raw GNSS and gravity data were quality-controlled daily, uploaded from camp, and processed off-site using the Oasis Montaj Gravity and Terrain Correction Module. All newly acquired gravity data were corrected for instrument drift, levelled to the GCS, and merged with the 2022 and 2024 data. Elevation corrections were calculated using high-resolution ArcticDEM models reprojected for NAD83 (CSRS) UTM Zone 11N, and Complete Bouguer Anomaly ("CBA") values were generated at a density of 2.67 g/cm³. The merged dataset was gridded at 12.5-metre resolution, and tilt-derivative filtering was applied to enhance subtle density contrasts (see figure 2).

The resulting product is a unified, district-scale gravity dataset that correlates strongly with mapped stratigraphy, topographic breaks, and major structural features across the Helmut-Imperial corridor. A pronounced northeast-southwest trending gravity fabric dominates the survey area, consistent with the regional structural grain of the Hornby Basin. EarthEx interprets the dataset across three principal structural domains. North of the Helmut Fault, the gravity field is relatively smooth and subdued, likely reflecting significant overburden thickness rather than bedrock density variations. No features in this northern domain are interpreted to be directly related to uranium mineralization. Between the Helmut and Imperial Faults, the survey reveals several discrete gravity highs and lows that correspond with mapped Unit 11-Unit 12 contacts and subordinate faults. Within this central structural block, four priority anomalies (Grav_Anom_1 through Grav_Anom_4) were highlighted, two of which occur immediately adjacent to stratigraphic boundaries known to influence uranium emplacement. In the southwestern portion of this domain, two of the anomalies remain open beyond the 2025 survey limits, suggesting potential extension into areas requiring additional infill and edge closure work (see figure 3).

The most significant results arise from the structurally complex zone south of the Imperial Fault, which hosts the historical Mountain Lake uranium system. Here, the CBA data show a pronounced, localized gravity high (Grav_Anom_5) that spatially coincides with the known systems footprint. This response is particularly notable because the system occurs at surface within low-density Unit 12 sediments and areas of presumed thick overburden. The persistence of a strong, positive gravity anomaly in this environment suggests that the system likely has a measurable density signature at depth-an important validation of gravity as a direct exploration tool for roll-front or structurally hosted uranium systems in the Hornby Basin. Immediately adjacent to this target, in a separate fault block, EarthEx identified an additional gravity high (Grav_Anom_6), representing a newly defined exploration target with similar structural context to Mountain Lake but without historical drilling. This southern domain is interpreted to host the most prospective anomalies for future drilling.

EarthEx recommended several next steps to further refine and advance these targets. These include a high-resolution unconstrained 3D inversion of the complete gravity dataset to model subsurface density distributions; 2D forward modelling along profiles constrained by geological mapping and drilling data; advanced 2D frequency-domain filtering to distinguish between structural, stratigraphic, and mineralization-related density contrasts; and completion of the remaining planned gravity grid, potentially expanding to a regional component to fully close the open anomalies identified along the southern and southwestern boundaries of the 2025 survey coverage. Future Fuels is currently evaluating these recommendations in the context of its 2026 exploration planning, which also includes the proposed 10,000-metre drill program, additional geophysical work, and construction of a seasonal exploration camp.

Future Fuels is extremely encouraged by the 2025 results, which further confirm gravity is an effective tool for mapping structural controls and identifying density anomalies associated with uranium mineralization at Mountain Lake. The positive response directly over the known system and the presence of multiple newly defined anomalies along the same structural trend support the Company's view that the Mountain Lake area may host additional mineralized bodies beyond the historically defined zone. The data also serve as a critical input into the Company's broader exploration framework, allowing for more precise drill targeting and improved understanding of lithological and structural controls on uranium emplacement across the Hornby Basin.
