Ground Radiometrics Refine Multiple Drill Targets at Muntanga North
Atomic Eagle Limited ('Atomic Eagle' or 'the Company') (ASX: AEU | OTCQX: AEUXF) is pleased to report results from ongoing close-spaced ground radiometric surveys conducted during Q2-2026 at the Muntanga North exploration area within its 100%-owned Muntanga Uranium Project in Zambia.
A total of 53-line kilometres of a planned 80 kilometre survey has been completed across five of eight priority target areas. The program has successfully refined and confirmed previously identified radiometric anomalies across the five target areas surveyed and provided improved resolution for drill targeting. The remainder of the survey over target areas 6 to 8 will be completed across Q2 and Q3-2026.
Highlights
- Large-scale radiometric anomalies (up to ~4km strike length) defined across eight target areas located between 15-25km from the Muntanga and Dibbwi East deposits.
- 53km of ground radiometrics completed to date across five of the eight target areas, with surveys ongoing.
- Close-spaced surveying (100m lines, 50m stations) has enabled identification of peak radiometric zones within broader anomalies to assist with drill targeting the surveyed areas.
- Strong radiometric responses include:
- 424 of 854 readings above background (>300 counts per second or CPS).
- 87 readings exceeding 500 CPS.
- Ground radiometric results confirm and refine airborne anomalies, and align with:
- Soil geochemical anomalies.
- Favourable structural corridors.
- Escarpment Grit Formation host rocks.
- Results have enhanced confidence in prioritisation of near-term drill targets within the surveyed areas, with drilling expected to commence shortly.
- In addition to Muntanga North drilling commencing, the Company's exploration approach is multi-faceted:
- Chisebuka – Drilling is continuing targeting extensions to recently defined higher-grade mineralization.
- Namakande 1 and 2 – Ground radiometrics surveys will commence in June 2026 to refine drill targeting.
Cautionary Statement: Handheld scintillometers measure radioactivity in counts per second ("CPS") and does not accurately determine elemental uranium concentrations and can also be influenced by the presence of thorium and potassium. Scintillometer readings are preliminary in nature and should not be considered a substitute for quantitative laboratory assays.

Atomic Eagle CEO Phil Hoskins said:
"We are encouraged by the initial results from ground radiometric surveys over the first five targets at Muntanga North. These anomalies occur along strike from the Company's existing resource areas and are hosted within the same favourable Escarpment Grit Formation.
The detailed ground surveys have not only confirmed the historical airborne anomalies in target areas 1 to 5 but, importantly, have helped identify the higher intensity zones within these systems. This provides greater confidence in prioritising drill targets as we prepare to commence drilling in the coming weeks."
A map showing the results from the ground radiometrics survey is shown in Figure 1 below. The results are overlain on a geology map which also shows the historical airborne radiometric anomalies. In 2024, five holes were drilled at the Nabbanda prospect situated at the northern end of target area 5, with one hole intersecting $1.8\mathrm{m}$ at $294\mathrm{ppm}$ $\mathrm{U}_3\mathrm{O}_8$ from $29.3\mathrm{m}$ depth and $2.0\mathrm{m}$ at $187\mathrm{ppm}$ $\mathrm{U}_3\mathrm{O}_8$ from $36.0\mathrm{m}$ depth $^{1}$ . This intercept is also shown in Figure 1.

Ground radiometrics and CPS explanation
Ground radiometric surveys measure natural gamma radiation emitted from rocks at surface. Readings are recorded in counts per second ("CPS"), which represent the intensity of radioactivity measured in the field.
Higher CPS readings indicate relatively elevated levels of radioactivity and can be associated with uranium-bearing mineralisation. These measurements are commonly used in early-stage exploration to:
- Identify anomalous zones.
- Map the extent of mineralised systems.
- Prioritise areas for follow-up drilling.
Soil cover has the potential to mask radiometric anomalies from underlying uranium mineralisation and so the Company's field crews are carefully recording types of regolith and/or rocks outcropping at each survey station.
Cautionary Statement: Handheld scintillometers measure radioactivity in CPS and does not accurately determine elemental uranium concentrations and can also be influenced by the presence of thorium and potassium. Scintillometer readings are preliminary in nature and should not be considered a substitute for quantitative laboratory assays.
Survey summary to date
- Planned coverage: 80-line km across 8 targets.
- Completed: 53-line km across 5 targets.
- Station spacing: 50m along lines.
- Line spacing: 100m.
- Total readings completed: 854.
The close-spaced survey grid has allowed for improved resolution of radiometric patterns and identification of discrete higher-intensity zones within broader anomalies, which are considered priority drill targets in target areas 1 to 5.
Geology and prospectivity
Uranium mineralisation across the Muntanga Project is hosted within the Escarpment Grit Formation of the Upper Karoo Basin. This same unit extends into the Muntanga North target areas and hosts the Company's existing resources at Muntanga, Dibbwi East and Dibbwi.
The Muntanga North anomalies lie along strike within this fertile geological corridor and exhibit similar geophysical and geochemical signatures, supporting their prospectivity.
Previous exploration, including airborne geophysics (NRG, 2006)² and soil/radon surveys (Denison Mines, 2013-2015)³, provided the foundation for target definition, which has now been further refined through this ground program.
² See Table 1 for more information.
³ See Appendix 4 and Table 1 for more information.

Integrated targeting approach
The Muntanga North targets are the outcome of multiple overlapping datasets, including:
- Airborne radiometric anomalies.
- Ground radiometric responses (this program).
- Soil geochemical anomalies and radon surveys.
- Favourable geology within the Escarpment Grit Formation.
- Structural controls consistent with known mineralisation at Muntanga and Dibbwi East.
The convergence of these independent datasets increases confidence that the identified targets represent prospective zones for uranium mineralisation and provides a strong technical basis for drill testing.
Next steps
The surveys have successfully confirmed the broader historical anomalies and helped define areas to target with drilling. Drilling of targets 1 to 5 will commence in the coming weeks whilst the ground radiometrics surveys over targets 6 to 8 will be undertaken across Q2 and Q3-2026.

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)
| Criteria | ASRC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Sampling techniques | • Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling. | |
| • 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. | • Scintillometer readings were collected using an RS-125 scintillometer at 50 metre intervals along lines spaced 100 to 200 metres apart. | |
| • Other selective readings were also taken where outcrops were found along the survey lines. | ||
| • The RS-125 scintillometer was calibrated by the manufacturer prior to delivery to Goviex in May 2023 and is considered adequate for ensuring accuracy. |
Nabbanda Drilling
• Drilling at the Nabbanda Prospect was conducted by Hydrotech Drilling and Exploration in August 2024. Drilling was done using an open hole hammer rig (DTH) and no samples were collected.
• At Nabbanda 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.
• Readings are recorded continuously downhole by the gamma tool and results reported at 5cm intervals.
• 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.
• No samples were collected for assay due to the early stage of exploration.
Soil Sampling
• Between 2013 and 2015, Dension Mines conducted soil geochemical and radon surveys over the Muntanga project area. Coincident soil and radon sampling stations were 100 m apart on 800 m spaced northwest-southeast survey lines. Orientation surveys were conducted over areas of known mineralisation to establish optimal methodologies and the magnitude of anomalies to be expected. |

| • At each sample site, a 300-gram unscreened sample was collected from the A-horizon. Sample site information and coordinates were recorded in field notebooks. Samples were sent to ACME Laboratories in Vancouver, Canada for analysis using Group 1F, aqua regia digestion ultra trace ICP-MS method. Quality control was monitored with field duplicate samples that were collected at a frequency of one duplicate in every 20 samples. | ||
| • In 2013 the AlphaTrack method was used. AlphaTrack cups are 1-litre plastic cups with a small piece of special plastic film taped to the inside. The cups are buried in an inverted position so that any radon gas percolating upward will be trapped in the cup. The cups are typically left in place for about 4 weeks. Radon gives off alpha particles which leave microscopic trackways on the film. The trackways can be counted in the lab to give a quantitative measurement of the amount of radon trapped in the cup. This, in turn, indicates the location and grade of subsurface uranium mineralisation. | ||
| • In 2014 and 2015 the RadonXTM sampling method was utilised. RadonX is based on the radon-on-activated-charcoal technique initially developed by the SA Atomic Energy Board but refined and enhanced by RES. Unlike other radon emanometry methods that rely on alpha-particle detection, RadonX measures the gamma emission from radon’s daughter products, bismuth (214Bi) and lead (214Pb), following adsorption of the radon onto activated charcoal. This method of detection excludes the detection of thoron (220Rn) arising from thorium that may be contained in the bedrock, representing a significant advantage of the RadonX method. Radon gas is adsorbed onto activated charcoal contained within a cartridge fitted into the base of an inverted cup that is buried in the ground. Gamma radiation from the daughter products of the adsorbed radon is then measured using a field scintillometer. Background effects are reduced and corrected by using a lead castle. During the ten-day cup burial period, weather is to be monitored. Rainfall and temperature are known to affect the ability of charcoal to adsorb radon. RadonX cartridges are subjected to stringent quality control measures from the time of initial loading of activated carbon through field deployment up to the time of taking scintillometer readings. |

Nabbanda Drilling
• During drilling 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 conversion of down-hole radiometric probe data into equivalent uranium eU3O8. To enable conversion 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.
• A project wide Radiometric – Grade conversion factor was developed by GoviEx during their 2021 to 2023 drilling campaigns. The conversion factor was made by comparing geochemical assays with gamma logs over the same drill sample interval.
Soil sampling
• A combination of A horizon soil samples and radon gas detection using AlphaTrack cups and the RadonXTM method are all considered suitable methods for detecting buried uranium mineralisation.
• The A-horizon soil samples were sent to ACME Laboratories in Vancouver, Canada for analysis using Group 1F, aqua regia digestion ultra trace ICP-MS method. Quality control was monitored with field duplicate samples that were collected at a frequency of one duplicate in every 20 samples. |

| Data spacing and distribution | • Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. | |
| • Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied. | ||
| • Whether sample compositing has been applied. | • Nabbanda drill collar positions were located using a handheld GPS. | |
| • The projection used is UTM WGS84 Zone36 South. | ||

| • No sample compositing has been applied. | ||
| • Dension Mines conducted soil geochemical and radon surveys over the Muntanga project area. Coincident soil and radon sampling stations were 100 m apart on 800 m spaced northwest-southeast survey lines. | ||
| Orientation of data in relation to geological structure | • Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type. | |
| • If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material. | • Uranium mineralisation at the Muntanga project is typically tabular and stratabound. Survey lines are oriented perpendicular to the strike of the strata to give the best chance of detecting zones of uranium mineralisation that have been localised along bedding planes. | |
| • Scintillometer readings were collected at 50 metre intervals along the survey lines. Soils derived from the weathering of the sandstone and mudstone units tend to have lower levels of radiation than outcrop. | ||

Calibration of the tool was done by Mt Sopris prior to delivery to site. |
| • No audits or reviews have been done on the soil sampling programs. |
Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results
(Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section.)
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Mineral tenement and land tenure status | • Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including agreements or material issues with third parties such as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or national park and environmental settings. | |
| • The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area. | • The Muntanga mining licence (13880-HQ-LML) was granted in 2010 for a period of 25 years and is valid until 25th March 2035, after which it can be renewed. The Nabbanda exploration license (22803-HQ-LEL) was granted on 5th February 2019 for 7 years and is currently under renewal. The licenses are 100% owned by GoviEx Uranium Zambia Limited, a subsidiary company of Atomic Eagle Limited. | |
| Exploration done by other parties | • Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. | • The earliest phase of exploration for uranium in the area covering the Muntanga North area was conducted by AGIP in the late 1970s to the mid-1980s. AGIP carried out systematic exploration, comprising outcrop mapping, ground radiometric surveys, air-borne photographic and geophysical surveys, trenching and pitting. |
| • In 2006, a detailed heliborne magnetic and radiometric survey was carried out by New Resolution Geophysics (NRG) for OmegaCorp which highlighted the known uranium projects and identified additional targets, based on radiometric signatures. | ||
| • The survey was flown at 100m line spacing with 20-30m flight height. NRG used a GR320 Exploranium Spectrometer system with a 1024 cubic inch crystal Sodium Iodide crystal. | ||
| • In 2013, Geotech Ltd. carried out a helicopter-borne geophysical survey of the Project area. Principal geophysical sensors included a versatile time domain electromagnetic (“VTEMplus”) system, and horizontal magnetic gradiometer. A total of 1,903-line kilometres of geophysical data were acquired during the survey. | ||
| • Geological mapping of the Muntanga property was undertaken in 2014 by Remote Exploration Services of Cape Town, South Africa. A total of 324-line kilometres of mapping traverses were completed. Field mapping data were integrated with airborne geophysical data, satellite imagery, previous geological maps and interpretations to produce a revised geological map for the Muntanga property. | ||
| • Between 2013 and 2015, Denison Mines covered the Project area with soil geochemical and radon alpha track surveys. The objective of the surveys was to delineate any significant exploration targets outside of the drill-defined uranium deposits. Previous drilling had largely focused on testing airborne radiometric anomalies and the soil |

| geochemical and radon approach allowed for possible detection of blind or buried mineralisation, particularly in areas of thick or transported regolith. Surveys were carried out in the dry months between May and November. Soil sample and radon cup stations were collected at 100m intervals along lines spaced 800m apart. | ||
| 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 controlling movement of mineralised fluids. | ||
| • 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 has caused dissolution, mobilisation and redeposition of uranium in reducing, often clay- rich zones and along fractures. |

| 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: | |
| ○ easting and northing of the drill hole collar | ||
| ○ elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar | ||
| ○ dip and azimuth of the hole | ||
| ○ down hole length and interception depth | ||
| ○ 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. | • Drill collar information is provided in Appendix 1. | |
| 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. | • During the ground radiometric surveys, CPS readings were averaged at each survey station. | |
| • Results for the Nabbanda drilling were reported as eU3O8 | ||
| intercepts calculated from down hole gamma survey data using 100ppm cut-off, minimum width 1m with max 0.5m internal dilution. | ||
| Relationship between mineralisation and width 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’). | • For the Nabbanda drilling, hole orientations were vertical as the dip angle of mineralisation is generally shallow dipping, between 15 to 20° | |
| • It’s 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 maps 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. | • Handheld scintillometers measure radioactivity (counts per second) and do not represent absolute concentrations of uranium or thorium; instead, they are a qualitative measure of radioactivity that can be used to identify anomalous zones, prioritise mapping, sampling and |

| drilling. CPS can indicate areas of elevated radiometric response however it is not a direct substitute for laboratory assays. | ||
| • All intercepts for the Nabbanda drilling were calculated based on minimum width of 1m, internal dilution up to 0.5m waste with a minimum grade of final composite of 100ppm U3O8. | ||
| Other substantive exploration data | • Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances. | • Caution should be taken when interpreting surface hand-held scintillometer readings as soil cover can often mask radioactive rock units below. |
| • Handheld scintillometers measure radioactivity in counts per second (cps) and do not accurately determine elemental uranium concentrations. Instruments can also be influenced by the presence of thorium and potassium. Scintillometer readings are preliminary in nature and should not be considered a substitute for quantitative laboratory assays. | ||
| Further work | • The nature and scale of planned further work (eg tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling). | |
| • Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive. | • 61-line kilometres of scintillometer surveys over 5 targets have been completed at Muntanga North to date. The ground surveys were designed to cover airborne radiometric anomalies that coincide with anomalous soil samples with favourable structures and host rock. The surveys have successfully confirmed the broader historical anomalies and helped define areas to target with drilling. Drilling of the targets is expected to commence in the coming months. |
