ASX Announcement

14 January 2026

AEU drilling continues to deliver shallow, thick uranium mineralisation

Atomic Eagle Limited ( ASX:AEU ) (‘ Atomic Eagle ’ or ‘ the Company ’) is pleased to announce further results from its maiden drill program at the high-priority Chisebuka target within the broader Muntanga Uranium Project (‘ Muntanga ’ or the ‘ Project ’) in Zambia.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Drilling at the Company’s Chisebuka target has now concluded with a total of 69 holes completed by the end of 2025 (43 holes previously reported[1] ). There is no current resource at Chisebuka.

  • Results from the final 23 holes returned continued shallow, broad-spaced mineralisation including:

  • 20.2m @ 454ppm eUO ₈ from 7.0m (CHDTH2182).

  • 40.1m @ 371ppm eUO ₈ from 29.8m (CHDTH2185).

  • 13.5m @ 305ppm eUO ₈ from 21.3m (CHDTH2179).

  • 32.1m @ 343ppm eUO ₈ from 34.6m (CHDTH2187).

  • A thick, near-surface zone of mineralisation measuring 800m x 600m has been drilled to a 100m x 100m spacing, which incorporates the following previously reported results[1] :

  • 16.4m @ 1036ppm eUOfrom 13.5m (CHDTH2153).

  • 29.4m @ 439ppm eUOfrom 32.2m (CHDTH2163).

  • 43.6m @ 215ppm eUOfrom 30.7m (CHDTH2161).

  • Chisebuka is the first of six priority target areas to be drilling across the broader Muntanga Project licence area.

  • Atomic Eagle is well funded for exploration across Muntanga in 2026, with ~$20M in cash.

Atomic Eagle CEO Phil Hoskins said:

“This is the first drill program at Chisebuka in 15 years and results continue to deliver thick uranium intersections all less than 85m from surface, aligning with the Company’s strategy of targeting bulk open-pittable mineralisation.

Importantly, Chisebuka is only the first of six exploration targets recently outlined within the broader Muntanga Uranium Project area, giving the Company confidence it can materially increase the project’s resources with further drilling and other exploration activities. We are well funded to do this throughout 2026, with a strong cash balance of ~$20 million to execute our strategy for growth and delivering shareholder value.”

Chisebuka Target

The Chisebuka target is a high priority exploration target for the Company. Until the commencement of the current program, drilling last occurred in 2010. The prospect has an exploration target (8.3 - 13.2 Mlb U3O8)[2] and no current defined mineral resource.

Chisebuka is located in the southernmost tenement of the Company’s large licence package (Kariba Valley) (see Figure 1 below). Chisebuka is defined by a large radiometric anomaly that can be traced for approximately 4km along strike and is up to 1km wide. Chisebuka was drilled previously between 2007 and 2010, on a 400m x 100m spaced grid and indicated continuity of mineralised lenses between drill lines, from surface to approximately 110m depth.

Chisebuka Drill Program

Atomic Eagle completed its 69-hole (7,235m) drill program in late 2025, designed as an infill drill program to a nominal 200m x 100m drill pattern, with some areas closed up to 100m x 100m. Additional drilling is planned during 2026, which would allow a Mineral Resource Estimate to be completed over the entire target area.

The uranium mineralisation at Chisebuka dips between 10º and 20º to the southeast. All holes were drilled vertically to intersect the true thickness of mineralization. Figure 2 below shows the location of recently completed drill holes relative to previous drilling. A list of further significant intercepts from recent drilling are listed in Table 1 and shown in Figures 2 - 5. A full set of results are included in Appendix 2.

Figure 2: Chisebuka Target: Map showing significant intercepts from recent drilling plotted over ‘Grade x Thickness’ contours

Infill drilling to 100m x 100m spacing was focused on the higher grade and thicker mineralised zone in the north of the Chisebuka target. This area measures 800m x 600m and remains open to the north-west and south-east. The mineralisation consists of a series of stacked lenses that extends from surface to depths of 150m in places and follows the sandstone bedding planes. The area shows several extensional fractures that seem to have controlled mineralisation in the area. Figure 3 below shows this area in greater detail.

Next Steps

Following completion of the initial Chisebuka drill program, AEU is planning another round of drilling to close up the hole spacing to 100m x 100m centres.

AEU is planning a comprehensive exploration drill program at the broader Muntanga Project area in 2026, aimed at growing the current resource. It is anticipated that the drill program will be the largest undertaken at the Muntanga Project in 17 years. The program continues to be refined with the Company expected to provide an update during this quarter.

Technical Note – Grade Determination

Uranium grade can be measured indirectly by measuring the radioactivity emitted by the daughter products of uranium during decay, using a gamma tool containing a sodium iodide (NaI) crystal, which records counts per second when hit by gamma rays. These counts are converted to uranium grade (ppm eU3O8) by applying a K factor, a dead time correction and other correction factors as required such as casing, hole size, mud density. The K factor and the dead time is unique to each tool and is determined during calibration.

The gamma tool used by Atomic Eagle has been calibrated at the Grand Junction calibration pits by Mt Sopris prior to arrival on site and the tool was run weekly in a lined test hole to test repeatability. Furthermore, the results from the Atomic Eagle logging tool were compared with results from logging contractors Terratec, who logged most of the holes during the last 4 years, and a further calibration factor was applied to the company’s gamma results to be consistent with older data. Diamond drill holes will be drilled in future drill programs and the gamma tool will be verified against the assay data to confirm the result.

About Atomic Eagle

Atomic Eagle Limited (ASX: AEU) is an ASX-listed mineral resource company focused on exploration and development of uranium assets in Africa, with the 100%-owned district-scale Muntanga Uranium Project in Zambia as its core asset. The Muntanga Project area spans four mining licences and two exploration licences over a 146km strike length covering 1,136km[2] , adjacent to Lake Kariba. The Muntanga Uranium Project contains a JORC Mineral Resource Estimate (see Table 2 below) in addition to an Exploration Target of 82 – 150 Mt at a grade range of 150 - 350 ppm for 40.0 – 100.5 Mlbs U3O8.

Muntanga benefits from excellent infrastructure, being located near the town of Chirundu close to the Zimbabwe border, with sealed road access to Chirundu, Siavonga Lusaka (the capital). This network gives the project easy access to Lusaka’s international airport and to Namibia’s port of Walvis Bay via Livingstone (about 560km west) providing export routes to both western and eastern markets.

Notes :

  1. Mineral resources are constrained within an optimised pit shell using a uranium price of US$100/lb, mining costs of US$3.30/t, processing costs of US$9.00/t, additional mining costs of US$0.55/t, G&A costs of US$1.50/t, Transport costs of US$1.50 and a royalty of 5 %.

  2. Mineral Resources are reported at a U3O8 ppm cut-off grade within the optimised pit shell and are inclusive of Mineral Reserves.

  3. Mineral Resources are inclusive of mineralisation in the low-grade U3O8 80 ppm halo but reported above the relevant cut-off and classed as Inferred Resources. This mineralisation represents approximately 5 % of the total Mineral Resources metal (Mlb).

  4. Mineral Resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. There is no certainty that all or any part of the mineral resources will be converted into mineral reserves in the future.

  5. All figures have been rounded to reflect the relative accuracy of the estimate.

Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity
and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems
used.
Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the
Public Report.
In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be
relatively simple (eg ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1
m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge
for fire assay’). In other cases more explanation may be required,
such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling
problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (eg
submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information.
•At Chisebuka, the primary method of grade determination was
through gamma logging for equivalent uranium (eU3O8) using a Mt
Sopris natural gamma sonde equipped with a Sodium Iodide crystal.
The sonde is brand new and was only used for the data collection this
year and was calibrated at the Grand Junction calibration facility
(Colorado) in 2024 by the supplier prior to delivery.
•Readings were obtained at 1cm intervals downhole.
•Gamma readings provide an estimate of uranium grade in a volume
extending approximately 40 cm from the hole and thus provide much
greater representivity than laboratory assays using core or chip
samples.
•Chemical assays will be used to check for correlation with gamma
probe grades; disequilibrium is not considered an issue for the
project.
Drilling
techniques
Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air
blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple
or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other
type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc).
•Open hole hammer (DTH) (diameter of 150mm) was the main drilling
technique used, no samples were collected for assay as the quality of
the samples is not considered representative. All holes were logged
using a gamma sonde.
•All holes were surveyed using a Mt Sopris QL40-DEV tool to define
the inclination and drift of holes.
Drill sample
recovery
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries
and results assessed.
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure
representative nature of the samples.
Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade
and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential
loss/gain of fine/coarse material.
•No core or drill chips were collected for sampling as the uranium
grades are determined from down hole gamma log data.
•The lenses of uranium mineralisation at Chisebuka dip approximately
15o, it is assumed that intercepts are close to true width.
•No bias applies
Logging Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and
geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate
•Drill chip samples from RC and DTH drilling were laid out in piles next
to the rigs for geological logging. They were logged for lithology, grain

Muntanga Camp core yard.
•Down-hole geophysical logging was conducted to measure the
electrical properties of the rock from which lithologic information can
be derived and natural gamma radiation, from which an indirect
estimate of uranium content can be made. The down-hole
geophysical probes measure the following parameters: conductivity,
resistivity, self-potential, single point resistance, deviation and natural
gamma.

into eU3O8 using the ALT Wellcad software. The final data were
converted to a .csv format files for input into the master drill hole
database.

•The gamma probe is run weekly in a test hole to check for
consistency, and re-logging of holes is also done on a routine basis.
•The gamma tool used is run to facilitate a reliable conversion of
down-hole radiometric probe data into equivalent uranium eU3O8, a
deposit/probe-specific Radiometric-Grade correlation must be
established. However, prior to developing a Ra-Grade correlation raw
probe data must be adjusted to account for gamma signature
attenuation associated with the logging environment, such as the size
of the drill hole, fluid presence within the drill hole, casing/steel
parameters and probe correction factors.

Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. •The main period of exploration at Chisebuka took place between the
late 1970s and mid 1980s initially by the Geological Survey of Zambia
(“GSZ”), followed by AGIP SpA (“AGIP”), an Italian petroleum
company. The AGIP exploration campaign included a regional ground
radiometric surveying program which highlighted numerous
radiometric anomalies along the northern shores of Lake Kariba
including Dibbwi and Chisebuka. Several of the anomalies were
investigated via more detailed ground radiometric surveying and
subsequent drilling. Their campaign predominantly focused on the
Muntanga and Dibbwi deposits.
•African Energy Resources carried out radiometric surveys, mapping
and drilling in 2006 to 2012, based on the previous work carried out
by AGIP in the 1980’s.

Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. •The Project area is situated within the Karoo Supergroup, which
comprises thick, carboniferous to late Triassic age, terrestrial
sedimentary strata and is widespread across much of what is now
southern Africa.
•The Karoo Supergroup in the Project area consists of three
formations within the Lower Karoo; the Siankondobo Sandstone
Formation, overlain by the Gwembe Coal Formation, which itself is
overlain by the Madumabisa Mudstone Formation. The Madumabisa
Formation is unconformably overlain by the Upper Karoo which
consists of four formations; the Escarpment Grit is overlain by the
Interbedded Sandstone and Mudstone Formation, followed by Red
Sandstone which is finally capped by the Jurassic Bakota Basalt
Formation.
•The Project is situated in the mid-Zambezi Rift Valley. In the region,
known uranium mineralisation typically occurs within the Upper
Karoo. At the Project, all the known uranium mineralisation occurs
within the Escarpment Grit. The underlying Madumabisa Mudstone
appears to have acted as an impermeable barrier, focussing uranium
mineralization to the overlying Escarpment Grit.
•At Muntanga, Dibbwi and Dibbwi East, uranium mineralisation
appears to be later than at least some of the normal faults which cut
the Escarpment Grit Formation. This is evident from the good
correlation of the radiometric logging data between adjacent holes
within the Muntanga deposit separated by interpreted faulting.
•The source of the uranium is believed to be the surrounding
Proterozoic gneisses and plutonic basement rocks. Having been
weathered from these rocks, the uranium was dissolved, transported
in solution and precipitated under reducing conditions in siltstones
and sandstones. Post-lithification fluctuations in the groundwater
table caused dissolution, mobilisation and redeposition of uranium in
reducing, often clay- rich zones and along fractures.
•The Chisebuka deposit is hosted within the Braided Facies unit of the
Escarpment Grit Formation of the Upper Karoo supergroup, within the
mid Zambezi valley. These are Cretaceous aged sandstones, that dip
shallowly to the southeast. Normal faulting appears to have had a
significant effect on the location of mineralisation.
Drill hole
Information
A summary of all information material to the understanding of the
exploration results including a tabulation of the following information
for all Material drill holes:

o easting and northing of the drill hole collar
o elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in
metres) of the drill hole collar
o dip and azimuth of the hole
o down hole length and interception depth
o hole length.
If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the
information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from
the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly
explain why this is the case.
Data
aggregation
methods
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques,
maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high
grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated.
Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade
results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used
for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of
such aggregations should be shown in detail.
The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values
should be clearly stated.
•See Appendix 2 for a list of significant intercepts. Intercepts were
calculated using the following parameters: U3O8 at minimum width of
2m, internal dilution up to 1m with a minimum grade of final
composite of 100ppm U3O8.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept
lengths
These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of
Exploration Results.
If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole
angle is known, its nature should be reported.
If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there
should be a clear statement to this effect (eg ‘down hole length, true
width not known’).
•Drill hole orientations were mostly vertical as the dip angle of
mineralisation is generally shallow dipping, between 15 to 20o
•Its assumed that all downhole intercepts reported are close to true
width.
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of
intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being
reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of
drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views.
•Appropriate diagrams and sections have been provided in the
attached press release.
Balanced
reporting
Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not
practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades
and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of
Exploration Results.
•All intercepts are calculated based on minimum width of 2m, internal
dilution up to 01m waste with a minimum grade of final composite of
100ppm U3O8.
