Lease agreement with an option to purchase

On May 15, 2025, Valencia entered into a 10-year lease agreement with an option to purchase Portion-1 of Farm Namibplaas No. 93 ("Farm"), which covers approximately 6,700-hectares, including 1,179 hectares that is covered by EPL 3638.

Under the terms of the lease agreement, Valencia will have the right of occupation of the Farm and will make loan advances of N$24,000,000 ("Loan"), with an initial payment of N$7,000,000 and the remaining N$17,000,000 will be advanced in 17 monthly installments of N$1,000,000. The Company and the Lessor have agreed to amend the Loan to provide that the further advances of N$17,000,000 will be advanced in 120 monthly advances. Since the commencement date of the lease, the Company has made, and the Lessor has accepted, monthly advances in accordance with the amendment.

On July 25, 2025, Valencia received final approval from the Namibian authorities that all regulatory and statutory requirements had been met to access the Farm and the lease commenced. On August 5, 2025, Valencia commenced a drill program comprising 64 drill holes for approximately 12,500 metres ("m") on the Farm.

Changes to the Company's board of directors

On January 22, 2025, Richard Parkhouse resigned as a director and Stefano Roma was appointed as a director.

Norasa

The Company has undertaken a comprehensive review and update of all of the parameters for a Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") for the Norasa project using recent drill results together with the 2005-2011 previous MRE data. Confirmatory and geotechnical drilling, in conjunction with new survey information, including topographic surveys, down-the-hole optical televiewer surveys, trajectory surveys, and downhole gamma probe surveys, were used as inputs for mineral resource modelling. Re-interpretation of the previous database utilising all available data and modern estimation approaches has improved the definition of the MRE to more confidently support mine planning. This study, enhanced by an integrated and expanded drill program targeting existing and new land areas together with a robust work plan of optimisation process testing and modelling, will help reinforce the upside potential of the Norasa project. A summary of the MRE can be found in the "Description of Valencia and Namibplaas" section below and in the Company's news release dated May 14, 2024, available under the Company's filings on SEDAR+ and on its website (www.forsysmetals.com). A copy of the National Instrument technical report detailing the MRE (the "MRE Report") titled "NI 43-101 Technical Report 14 May 2024 Mineral Resources" was prepared by The MSA Group (Pty) Ltd. for the Company with an effective date of May 14, 2024 and was authored by Guy Freemantle, Ph.D., Pr. Sci. Nat., FGSSA MSEG and Aveshan Naidoo, MBA, BSc., Pr. Eng., MSAIMM. The MRE Report was filed on June 27, 2024 on SEDAR+ and is available under the Company's filings on SEDAR+.

The Company is undertaking a drilling program, together with optimisation work, with the aim of expanding and upgrading the Mineral Resource. To accomplish this, the Company's ongoing workplan includes the following:

Resource Drilling

A total of 196 percussion drill holes for approximately 13,700 metres ("m") has been laid out for resource drilling. The objective of this program is to increase the quantity of the Measured Mineral Resource at Valencia Main deposit. The holes target the 1,660 m elevation with drill depths up to 100 m from surface on a spacing that is comparable to the previous Measured Resource grid. Furthermore, 10,800 m of drilling have been laid out to date to explore for potential resource extension in a phased approach within ML 149. Areas adjacent to the Valencia Main deposit, and also along strike to the west, on the hinge zone to the south, and north of the Main deposit at the Jolie and Bundu zones and at Valenica North are undergoing exploration drilling.

Pit Design Modeling

The updated resource block model is being used to assess open pit economic models. Pit slope design parameters are being reviewed to include lithological logging and geo-mechanical test work from additional drilling.

Column Leaching Process Optimization Work

Column Leach tests are presently underway at SGS in South Africa where the columns have been emptied and final analyses and data is pending. The next phase of testing will assess systematic processes to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of extracting the uranium mineralisation from the ore using sulphuric acid solutions.

Process Design

DRA Global were appointed as the study contractor to deliver engineering to support preliminary cost estimates for a heap leach process. Engineering and optimization testwork is ongoing.

Bulk Sampling

After site assessment and selection, a detailed plan is being drawn up to develop a box cut with the objective of retrieving approximately 20,000 tonnes of typical run-of-mine, fresh and representative sample material from the deposit.

Description of Valencia and Namibplaas

Location and Ownership

Valencia is situated on the farm "Valencia 122", which is located approximately 75km north-east of Swakopmund in central-west Namibia, covering an area of 735.6 hectares ("ha") and is registered in the name of Valencia Uranium (Pty) Ltd ("Valencia Uranium"). ML 149 is valid for 25 years from date of issue by the Namibian Ministry of Mines and Energy ("MME") on June 23, 2008 and is renewable.

The entire Valencia mineral licence area is located on privately held farmland. As required by law, an agreement has been entered into between a mineral licence holder and the landowner prior to mine development.

In April 2009, Valencia Uranium entered into a compensation agreement with the owner of the farm Valencia 122, pursuant to Section 52 of the Minerals Act of 1992, granting Valencia Uranium unrestricted use of the land on and around ML 149 covering an area of 3,327 hectares. A similar agreement was concluded in May 2009 with the owners of the neighboring 594-hectare farm "Bloemhof 109", located to the south, for the construction of additional infrastructure and for primary access to the Valencia site.

These agreements facilitated planning for the necessary infrastructure required to support mining operations. This infrastructure has been approved by the MME as the operation's accessory works and includes inter alia the main pit, waste dumps, tailings dump, pipeline, power lines, roads, process plant, explosive magazines, etc. The construction camp / operations village have also been approved. The Company obtained the renewal of its Environmental Clearance Certificate ("ECC") from the Ministry of Environment, Forestry and Tourism on June 21, 2023. This renewal of the ECC lasts three years and is required for compliance with all environmental requirements allowing the Company to further advance the development plan for Norasa. The ECC renewal process included an approved Environmental Impact Assessment ("EIA") and Environmental Management Plan ("EMP") covering an examination of the Company's environmental management practices, incorporating waste management, emissions controls, biodiversity protection, and community engagement, among other factors.

Namibplaas is located 7.5km northeast of the Valencia deposit on the farm "Namibplaas 93" with a total surface area of 1,269 ha. The Exclusive Prospecting Licence ("EPL 3638") for the Namibplaas uranium deposit was renewed for a further two years until February 1, 2026. On November 3, 2025, the Company submitted a renewal application for EPL 3638. The Minerals (Prospecting and Mining) Act 33 of 1992 provides that if an EPL holder applies for a renewal before the expiry date, the EPL continues in force until the renewal application is approved or refused.


Environmental studies for Namibplaas are underway, with baseline monitoring of groundwater, air quality, noise studies, archeology, flora & fauna and soils underway. This work is being done as part of Norasa and is taking the form of an amendment to the original Valencia EIA/EMP, a process that has been approved by the Ministry of Environment and Tourism.

There are no historical environmental liabilities for either the Valencia or Namibplaas properties.

Mineral Resources

On May 14, 2024, the Company announced the results from an updated MRE for Norasa and filed the MRE Report on June 27, 2024 on SEDAR+. Results have been reported from remodelling of previous (2005-2011) drilling and 2023 drilling results. The Mineral Resources are reported within US$120/lb U₃O₈ pit shells, with a cut-off grade of 40 ppm U₃O₈ for each of the deposits at Valencia Main and East, ("Valencia"), under Mining Licence (ML-149) and US$120/lb U₃O₈ at 40 ppm U₃O₈ cutoff at Namibplaas under EPL 3638. The MRE is summarized as follows:

For the overall Norasa project, a conceptual open-pit shell constrained MRE for total deposits assessed from previous (2005-2011) and 2023 drilling results is estimated to be Measured and Indicated of 151.9 Mt at 136 ppm eU₃O₈, with contained metal oxide of 45.4 Mlbs U₃O₈ at Valencia Main. Inferred Resources for the Norasa project are estimated to be 224.5 Mt at 86 ppm eU₃O₈, with contained metal oxide of 42.6 Mlbs U₃O₈ (refer to Table 1):

  • Measured and Indicated: 151.9 Mt at 136ppm eU₃O₈, with contained metal oxide of 45.4 Mlbs for Valencia Main.
  • Inferred Resource for Valencia Main is estimated to be 4.7 Mt at 121 ppm eU₃O₈ and 1.3 Mlbs eU₃O₈ contained metal oxide.
  • Inferred Resource for Valencia East is estimated to be 1.0 Mt at 114 ppm eU₃O₈ and 0.3 Mlbs U₃O₈ contained metal oxide; and
  • Inferred Resource for Namibplaas is estimated to be 218.7 Mt at 85 ppm eU₃O₈ and 41.1 Mlbs U₃O₈ contained metal oxide.

Notes:
1. All tabulated data have been rounded and as a result minor computational errors may occur.
2. Mineral Resources, which are not Mineral Reserves, have no demonstrated economic viability. There is no guarantee that all or any part of the mineral resource will be converted into a mineral reserve. The estimate of mineral resources may be materially affected by geology, environment, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues.


  1. The Mineral Resource Statement for Norasa as at 30th April 2024 is reported at a cut-off grade of 40ppm $U_{3}O_{8}$ from within a conceptual pit-shell using the following assumed parameters:

  2. Base Uranium Price –USD/lb $U_{3}O_{8}$: US$120

  3. Average Mining Cost at reference elevation (AISC) USD/tonne: Valencia Main $2.38; Valencia East $2.13; Namibplaas $2.29
  4. Average Processing Cost USD/tonne processed: $7.55
  5. Average G&A Overheads USD/tonne processed: $1.04
  6. Process Overall Recovery % $U_{3}O_{8}$ Recovery: 85.0 %
  7. Selling Cost Transport USD/lb $U_{3}O_{8}$: $1.29

  8. From the assumed parameters, a 40 ppm $U_{3}O_{8}$ cut-off grade was calculated, which together with the conceptual pit shell demonstrates reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction (RPEEE) for the Mineral Resource. The assessment to satisfy the criteria of RPEEE is a high-level estimate and is not an attempt to estimate Mineral Reserves.

A summary of the mineral resource estimation methodology is detailed in the Company's May 14, 2024 news release and the MRE Report is available under the Company's filings on SEDAR+.

Current Development Status

On March 17, 2023, the Company announced a program of technical trade-off studies to evaluate the options for practical and economical benefit. In this regard, the Company's subsidiary Valencia Uranium (Pty) Ltd. has appointed DRA Mineral Projects Pty Ltd. as the engineering consulting company to conduct the trade-off studies.

The scope of work includes a review of testwork information to confirm optimal grind size considering uranium recovery, costs, materials handling and tailings handling. Balance of trade-off studies included the comminution circuitry design, leach circuitry design and layout; and dewatering circuit configuration and design. A tailings deposition option study and techno-financial evaluations were to be carried out, in addition to qualitative risk assessments to select the best design basis.

As noted in the Overall Performance section, a key component of the trade-off studies involves evaluating the trade-off opportunity between tank and heap leaching given how advances in HPGR crushing and heap leach technology. Lower sulphuric acid costs suggest that heap leaching could potentially provide a superior economic flowsheet than the existing tank leach process. These tests are still ongoing.

On June 21, 2023, the Environmental Clearance Certificate ("ECC") from the Ministry of Environment, Forestry and Tourism (MEFT) was renewed for a further three years. The ECC renewal process is based on bi-annual audits and reporting to MEFT.

On April 19, 2023, the Company announced that it had started a 4,100 m exploration and geotechnical drilling program, which commenced on March 31, 2023. This program retrieved fresh samples at depths of up to 420 m from the slope areas for both the planned mining pits at Valencia and Namibplaas. The focus of the drilling program included:

  • geotechnical drilling, and logging and sampling for geo-mechanical testing for pit slope stability assessment and optimizing pit designs;
  • testing the continuity of mineralization for resource modelling;
  • confirming mineral resource estimate parameters; and
  • sampling for metallurgical test work and processing design optimization;

On March 26, 2024, the Company reported on the Valencia 2023 drilling program with assay results from ML149. Fifteen boreholes had been drilled for a combined total of 2,684.44 m.

Drilling, geological and geotechnical logging, down-hole optical televiewer and radiometric scans were completed on the 15 holes drilled. 819 samples from ten of the boreholes underwent assay with quality control protocol and procedures in place and the chemical results have been verified by an accredited lab. Highlights include:

  • Multiple zones of massive alaskite intrusions were intersected. Chemical assays confirm uranium mineralisation in all six of the confirmation boreholes.
  • Best mineralised borehole PQ-5 intersected 77.34 m of continuous mineralisation, averaging 439 ppm $U_{3}O_{8}$ including 41.9 m of 683ppm $U_{3}O_{8}$.
  • 2023 intersections of mineralisation correlate with the neighbouring historic drilling intersections and down-hole gamma survey results.

  • No major zones of rock weakness, i.e. no geological structures, have been intersected at Valencia. This is a positive result for the ongoing geotechnical specialist work, as it indicates conducive conditions for pit slope optimization and overall mine design.
  • Downhole scintillometer surveys were also completed on nine historic exploration boreholes to validate historic results.

Geological context:

  • Boreholes GT-01 to GT-07 were drilled from within the planned Valencia Main mine pit, angled and directed away from the centre of the 2015 pit shell to investigate the ground conditions for the pit slope design.
  • Two boreholes, RE-01 and RE-02, were strategically positioned to confirm mineralisation at Valencia in a geologically unique zone.
  • Holes PQ-01 to PQ-05 were drilled at Valencia for a total of 285.31 m, providing approximately 3 tons of sample for metallurgical testing.

Borehole samples were selected for geochemical assay from the routine downhole radiometric scanning results and sent to Trace Elements Analysis Laboratories (Pty) Ltd ("TEA Labs") at Swakopmund for sample preparation and analyses by XRF. For internal quality control purposes TEA Labs has weekly round robins with independent laboratories at Rosh Pinah Swakop Uranium and Langer Heinrich mines.

The Company also announced on March 26, 2024 that it had commenced a further program of exploration drilling at Valencia (ML-149). Four zones of potential uranium mineralization situated outside of the existing resource block model were investigated. The drilling program focussed on the following four target areas:

  • A favourable horizon identified at the Jolie Zone (~ 1km north of Valencia pit)
  • Valencia West Extension
  • Valencia North
  • Bundu Zone

The four areas of mineralization potential were delineated from exploration work, including aerial photo interpretation, geological mapping, aeromagnetic surveys, airborne and ground scintillometer surveys, and exploration drilling. Investigation by drilling is required to define the mine's surface infrastructure development and also explore for resource upside potential in these areas.

On June 18, 2024 the Company reported results from preliminary leaching test work as follows:

  • Completed metallurgical test work supports utilizing heap leaching to recover uranium at Norasa.
  • A total of 16 metallurgical column leach tests have been completed. Various test conditions were assessed, covering initial scouting tests aimed at evaluating the impact of binder addition, higher irrigation rates and grind size on recoveries, leach kinetics and acid consumption.
  • Uranium extraction rates of up to 87 % (crushed with a conventional cone crusher, average of solids and solution based recovery) were achieved within a leach cycle time of 30 days or less. Sulphuric acid consumption ranged from 17 kg/t to 38 kg/t, depending on operational parameters. This recovery rate is on par with that achieved by other similar type operations with comparable ore type. Follow-up test work is planned with the primary areas of focus to include additional column tests aimed at assessing a high-pressure grinding rolls ("HPGR") crushed product, acid consumption, irrigation rate and leach duration, with the objective of achieving an optimal uranium dissolution rate. Studies indicate between 4 % to 6 % increased metal extractions in heap leach operations with HPGR crushing.

On August 14, 2024, the Company announced further interim drilling results from its 2024 resource extension and exploration drilling program at Valencia (ML 149). Positive results, included an intersection at Valencia South which returned 210 ppm U₃O₈ over a 253 m interval, including 16 m at 655 ppm U₃O₈ (VA24-022), indicating potential to further increase the resources and grades around the Valencia deposit. Highlights include:

  • At Valencia South, in addition to drillhole VA24-022, resource drilling intersected 213 ppm U₃O₈ over 53 m from 179 m depth to the end of the pre-collar at 232 m (VA24-023). Drillhole VA24-022 also intersected 363 ppm eU₃O₈ over 43 m from 366 m to 409 m,
  • At Valencia East, the best intersection was drillhole VA24-043 of 313 ppm U₃O₈ over 20 m.
  • Exploration drilling at Valencia West intersected 222 ppm eU₃O₈ over 34 m from 76 m to 110 m depth in drillhole VA24-052.
  • Exploration drillhole VA24-019 intersected 185 ppm U₃O₈ over 41 m from 1 m to 42 m depth at the Jolie Zone.

  • At the Bundu Zone, the best intersection was in drillhole VA24-056 of 198 ppm eU3O8 over 28 m from 1 m to 29 m depth.

On February 26, 2025, the Company announced a further set of interim drilling results from its Resource Extension and Exploration drilling program at Valencia (ML 149). Assay results in are denoted U₃O₈, while grades calculated from downhole gamma are represented by eU₃O₈. Highlights include:

  • An intercept of 308 ppm eU₃O₈ over 23 m from 18 m to 41 m depth in drillhole VA24-061 at the Jolie Zone.
  • At Valencia West, all 37 drillholes intersected uranium mineralisation. The best results include an intercept of 240 ppm eU₃O₈ over 58 m from 157 m to 215 m depth in drillhole VA24-083A.
  • Drilling at the Valencia main deposit intersected 481 ppm eU₃O₈ over a 63 m interval in drillhole VA24-127 and 306 ppm eU₃O₈ over a 91 m interval in drillhole VA24-175.

By February 26, 2025, a total of 20,597.08 m of drilling had been completed in 211 boreholes since the drilling program commenced in February 2024, with assays from 70 drillholes received and 19,092 down-hole m surveyed with a gamma ray spectrometer ("downhole gamma").

Twelve drillholes at the Jolie Zone target completed in 2024 identified two zones of sub-parallel mineralised alaskite intrusions (Zones 1 and 2), which are approximately 50 m apart. These zones strike NE-SW and are both open-ended to the SW along strike and at depth, whereas Zone 2 is also open-ended to the NE. Results from Jolie include 308 ppm eU₃O₈ over 23 m from 18 m to 41 m depth (Zone 1 in drillhole VA24-061) and 166 ppm eU₃O₈ over 74 m from 57 m to 131 m depth (Zone 2 in drillhole VA24-099). The SW and depth extensions of mineralisation are currently being tested by a further six drillholes, aiming to increase the known strike extent to 300 m.

Exploration drilling at Valencia West has defined additional mineralised ground to the west of the Valencia main orebody. All of the 37 drillholes completed in the area during 2024 intersected uranium mineralization. Results include 240 ppm eU₃O₈ over 58 m from 157 m to 215 m depth in drillhole VA24-083A. This drill program linked Valencia West to the Valencia Main resource, including drillhole VA24-189 with 200 ppm eU₃O₈ over 22 m from 89 m to 111 m depth. Further drilling was undertaken to establish intersections and grade for detailed resource modelling at Valencia West. Intersections include 481 ppm eU₃O₈ over a 63 m interval in drillhole VA24-127 and 306 ppm eU₃O₈ over a 91 m interval in drillhole VA24-175.

On April 8, 2025 the Company announced that exploratory ore sorting evaluations demonstrate that ore sorting is possible for Valencia ore to increase uranium grade and reduce acid consumption during processing. Results from ore sorting trials indicate:

  • Gamma sorting amenability work showed that uranium concentration is well correlated with sorting sensor detection peaks;
  • XRF amenability testing demonstrated a strong calibration accuracy with uranium grades, suggesting that uranium upgrading is achievable with a decrease in mass pull.

Key benefits include delivering an upgraded material stream to the processing plant by rejecting waste and problematic lithologies, thereby enhancing processing efficiency and reducing operating costs. Improvements in metal recovery may also be achieved. Given the positive outcome, a decision was made to conduct further confirmatory testwork. This work includes:

  • Detailed XRF testing with machine learning and fine calibration and scanning of variability samples over approximately 440 m of drill core from the Valencia deposit.
  • Scouting XRT ore sorting amenability testing on variability samples from Valencia deposit.

On May 15, 2025, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Valencia Uranium (Pty) Ltd entered into a lease agreement with an option to purchase Portion-1 of Farm Namibplaas No. 93 ("Farm"), which covers approximately 6,700 hectares, including 1,179 hectares that is covered by EPL 3638. See page 2, Lease agreement with an option to purchase.

On August 5, 2025, the Company also announced the commencement of a drill program comprising 64 drill holes at Namibplaas for approximately 12,500 m. The principal objective of this program is to upgrade the existing Namibplaas mineral resource to the Measured and Indicated category and test down dip mineralization potential and to conduct reconnaissance drilling on new sites on EPL-3638 to evaluate the potential to expand Norasa's mineral resource base.

On September 2, 2025 the Company announced further drilling results from its ongoing extension and exploration drilling program at the Valencia deposit (under ML 149), where a further 115 boreholes totalling 11,739 m have been drilled since results were previously reported on February 26, 2025. The Company has received 10,832 m of processed downhole gamma survey results.

Uranium intercepts have been logged within the Valencia Main pit shell volume, reporting new uranium mineralization and encouraging grades with the potential to add ore tonnage and reduce the stripping ratio within the modelled pit. The eastern portion of drilling at the Valencia West target has intersected uranium mineralization within the current Valencia pit shell. Results indicate approximately 250 horizontal metres extent of south easterly-dipping uranium mineralization which is open ended at depth, at the present drilling stage. Highlights are as follows:

  • Valencia Main Pit: Drilling focused on Valencia Main, to potentially expand the Valencia Main resource and upgrade the resource. Between February and September 2025, 5,787 m of drilling was completed in 74 drill holes. Highlights include 407 ppm eU308 over a 53 m interval in drillhole VA25-229 and 364 ppm eU308 over a 55 m interval in drillhole VA25-264. These results continue to highlight the strong potential to enhance both tonnage and grade at Valencia.
  • Valencia South: Follow-up drilling on previously reported high-grade intercepts tested the down-plunge extension to the south of the Valencia Main deposit. The additional drilling was conducted with the aim of increasing and upgrading the indicated resource in this area. Two boreholes totalling 180 m returned interesections including 338 ppm eU₃O₈ over a 13 m interval and 282 ppm eU₃O₈ over a 54 m interval in drillhole VA25-289.
  • Valencia West: At Valencia West 992 m was drilled in 7 boreholes between February and September 2025. Highlights include 271 ppm eU₃O₈ over a 9 m interval in drillhole VA25-288. All holes intersected new uranium mineralization down dip, along strike and near surface, establishing a link with the Main resource. The drill spacing is believed to be sufficient for this zone to be classified within the Indicated Resource category, which can potentially extend the Valencia Main pit by approximately 150 m to the west.

In addition, drilling tested mineralization extension and identified potential additional resource targets outside of the pit shell at both the Jolie Zone and at Valencia East, respectively.

  • At Valencia East 11 boreholes totalling 1,574 m were completed between February and September 2025. Highlights include 184 ppm eU₃O₈ over a 25 m interval in drillhole VA25-295. Extension drilling is still in progress towards the south of the historic Valencia East resource, where additional mineralization has been established along strike and down dip.
  • At the Jolie Zone 12 boreholes totalling 2,009 m were completed between February and September 2025. Located about 600 m north of the Valencia Main deposit, drilling identified two sub-parallel mineralised intrusions, approximately 50 m from each other. Results include 623 ppm eU₃O₈ over a 11 m interval in drillhole VA25-273. Interpretation of these results indicate continuity of mineralization, which is significant since it enhances the potential to estimate additional mineral resources. Mineralization is indicated over a strike length of approximately 350 metres.

On January 15, 2026, the Company reported further drilling results from its extension and exploration drilling program at the Valencia deposit and highlights are as follows:

  • Valencia Main Pit: Infill drilling focused on the Valencia Main deposit, aiming to expand the Valencia Main resource and upgrade the resource classification. Infill drilling had the objective to move the resource into the Indicated and Measured categories. Since 2024, 17,532 m has been completed in 209 drill holes at Valencia Main. Results received since September 2, 2025 include drillhole VA24-127 with 64 m from surface to 64 m depth averaging 333 ppm U₃O₈. These new results continue to highlight the strong potential to enhance both tonnage and grade at Valencia.
  • Valencia South: Drilling tested the down-plunge extension to the south of the Valencia Main deposit with the objective of increasing and upgrading the Indicated resource in this portion of the Valencia main deposit. Encouraging results have been obtained so far. Recent drilling includes borehole VA25-289 intersecting 32 m averaging 168 ppm eU₃O₈ from 90 m to 122 m followed by three more intersects of 7 m averaging 156 ppm eU₃O₈, 13 m grading 419 ppm U₃O₈ and 53.9 m grading 385 ppm U₃O₈, between 212 m and 304 m depth, the latter two intercepts being laboratory assays (ICP-MS).
  • Valencia West: Results have been obtained at Valencia West where seven boreholes have been completed since February 2025 for a total of 1,067 m. ICP assay results received since September 2025 include the following highlights: 315 ppm U₃O₈ over a 9.01 m interval in drillhole VA25-288 and 5 m grading 682 ppm U₃O₈ in borehole VA25-292. The drilling intersected additional uranium mineralization down dip, along strike and near surface, establishing a link with the Valencia Main resource. The drill spacing is believed to be sufficient for this zone to be classified within the existing Indicated Resource, potentially extending the Valencia Main pit by approximately 150 m to the west.

  • The Jolie Zone satellite mineralization is located about 600 m north of the Valencia Main resource. 24 boreholes totalling 3,505 m have been completed since February 2025. Drilling identified two sub-parallel mineralised intrusions, approximately 50 m from each other. Assay results received since September 2025 include 263 ppm U₃O₈ over a 5 m interval and a further 736 ppm U₃O₈ over 11 m in drillhole VA25-273. Interpretation of these results indicates a continuity of mineralization, which is significant since it enhances the potential for additional mineral resources. Mineralization is inferred over a strike length of approximately 350 metres at the Jolie Zone.

  • The Valencia East satellite deposit generated encouraging results from the recent drill campaign. 35 boreholes, totalling 3,838 m, have been drilled since 2024, including both infill and extension drilling of the historical resource. Assay results received since September 2025 include two intersections in drillhole VA25-302 which returned 207 ppm U₃O₈ over a 9 m interval, followed by 30.6 m grading 186 ppm U₃O₈. Borehole VA25-284 intersected 241 ppm U₃O₈ over a 22 m width from 75 m, and VA25-298 intersected 612 ppm U₃O₈ over a 7 m width from 120 m. The aim of the infill drilling is to upgrade the Valencia East resource to the Indicated category. Extension drilling has identified additional mineralization along strike and down dip.

Infrastructure

The Company is undertaking a complete review of all power, plant, water, road and rail infrastructure.

Various options for ground water are being evaluated in close proximity to the project for water supply. In addition, water supply for the mine and mineral processing operations will be sourced from one or a combination of the three potential sources listed below:

  • Water sourced from the Namwater pipeline (B2 highway): The source of this water is the Orano Resources Namibia desalination plant located at Wlotzkasbaken, approximately 30 km north of Swakopmund. The closest bulk water supply point is the Rössing mine reservoirs, located 24 km to the WSW. It requires Installation of a 31 km long pipeline to run through the Khan River to the site. Upgrading of the pipeline and pumping system will be necessary.

  • Ground Water: A paleochannel aquifer is present, in approximately 5 km distance southeast of the Valencia site, between the Chuos Mountains and mountains south of the Khan River. Further investigation on this aquifer as part of the geohydrological assessment is scheduled to evaluate this aquifer's potential.

  • Khan River: Water can be abstracted water from the Khan River Alluvium Aquifer. Furthermore, potential exists for the development of a long-standing plan to build a dam on the Khan River system. The hydrological and geohydrological assessment in the EIA will determine the viability of this option.

The nearest power off-take point that can supply Norasa is the Khan substation, located on farm Ebony, 26 km north of the mine. The direct route is very rugged through the Khan Valley and tributaries and an alternate indirect transmission route of nearly 30 km has been laid out by NamPower. The Khan substation has recently been upgraded and expanded. NamPower met the cost of the new substation although a new transformer bay for Norasa will be at the mine's expense, as will be the cost of the transmission line to the mine.

Construction of a 27 km private industrial grade gravel access road was completed in mid-2010 linking Valencia to the Trans Kalahari (B2) highway, which is the main artery from the international port of Walvis Bay and the town of Swakopmund to Namibia's capital Windhoek.

Capital Work-in-Progress

In order to achieve production at Norasa, the Company identified certain critical long-lead items required to develop the mine into operation. At December 31, 2025, capital work-in-progress includes the temporary access road to the Valencia mine site which is now complete and a crusher (currently in storage in Namibia). The value of capital work-in-progress was reduced to $nil during the year ended December 31, 2017 to reflect the depressed uranium market. Further investment in capital works at Norasa has been put on hold pending completion of suitable financing arrangements and a formal decision by the Company's board to proceed with the development of Norasa.

Outlook

Valencia is one of the very few uranium projects in the world that is permitted with a mining licence. Ongoing efforts to upgrade its MRE combined with further studies on Norasa which are evaluating processes and technologies that can enhance pit design, recovery and slope angle to improve mining and process costs, is considered by the Company to be a key milestone in attracting strategic partners and investors and provide the Company with alternatives for the next phase of Norasa's development.

Key Economic Trends in the Uranium Industry

As countries commit to reducing emissions, the requirement for reliable low carbon electricity has become paramount and policy makers, environmentalists and the public increasingly identify nuclear power as the critical pillar to achieving this. At COP 30 in November 2025 in Brazil, over 30 countries signed the declaration to triple global nuclear capacity by 2050.

Consequently, global demand for uranium continued to grow in 2025. The World Nuclear Association (WNA) estimate uranium requirements in 2025 at 77,000 tonnes (up 3% from 2024) and expectations are that this will rise sharply. Under the WNA reference scenario, global uranium demand reaches 107,000 tonnes by 2040, and under a high-growth scenario, demand reaches 204,000 tonnes. This growth aligns with increasing nuclear capacity, which is projected to climb to 438 gigawatts by 2030, and nearly 746 gigawatts by 2040. The trend points to a long-term, multi-decade increase in uranium demand.

The uranium market has long been waiting for a return to sustained contracting and more stable demand where uranium utilities procure supplies with long-term contracts agreements into the early 2030s and beyond. While the second half of 2025 began to show early signs of this happening, activity still remained below replacement rate of 150 million lbs per year (Q4 2025 saw 72 million lbs contracting, which was near half the total for the whole of 2025 at 116 million lbs) hence it is expected that utilities will be forced back into the market at a later date with larger volumes to secure, with fewer choices and higher prices.

However, most recently, the world's largest uranium miner, Kazatomprom, announced on February 20, 2026, that it had signed a transformative long-term uranium supply contract with India's Department of Atomic Energy. The deal size is so large that it exceeds 50% of Kazatomprom's total book value. Also In February, China entered into a financing transaction with Australian-listed Bannerman Energy, Ltd for development of their Etango Project in return for a CNNC-linked partner to receive a life-of-mine offtake entitlement covering 60% of production. On March 2, 2026, Cameco also announced it had signed a long-term contract with India for the delivery of 22 million lbs over the period 2027-2035 at an estimated value of C$2.6bn. With India now having entered into two large long-term contract agreements with two of the largest uranium producers, it becomes clear and urgent that Western utilities focus on their uranium supply strategy particularly given primary supply is being spoken for at an accelerating rate and secondary inventories continue to draw down.

This is further underpinned by the impact of geopolitical factors Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 after which Western Governments woke up to their reliance on Russia's energy supply and concluded their only long-term solution was to develop their own domestic capacity. This was further underpinned by the U.S.-Israel war on Iran which again re-focused Western Government attention on their nuclear power strategy and energy supply.

The WNA forecast that intense development of new infrastructure projects will be needed to avoid potential supply disruptions. Governments are reacting to this and 514 new reactors are planned around the world plus a new generation of Small Modular Reactors ("SMRs") which offer a lower initial capital investment, greater scalability, and siting flexibility for locations unable to accommodate more traditional larger reactors. SMRs also have the potential for enhanced safety and security compared to earlier design. Currently, there are 437 nuclear power plants operating worldwide in 33 countries with a further 70 nuclear reactors under construction. Over the last two years a total of 12 reactors have been connected to the grid in mature nuclear power nations including Belarus, China, Finland, Pakistan, Slovakia, South Korea, UAE and the USA. Additionally, construction of new reactors has been started in China, Egypt, India, Russia and Turkey and Iran and many other countries are considering either to expand their existing nuclear programmes (Bulgaria Czech Republic, France, Hungary, Netherlands, Romania and the UK), or to build their first reactors (Ghana, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Poland, Saudi Arabia and Uganda). The U.S. also plans to have 10 new large reactors under construction by 2030.

Major tech companies such as Google, Amazon, Meta and Microsoft have been working to develop their own power supply requirements and in doing so, reduce the political backlash over their considerable electricity requirement. Consequently, they are advancing agreements to develop their own SMRs to power their artificial intelligence ("AI") driven data centres. Microsoft has taken up 100% of the capacity of a revived Three Mile Island nuclear plant to power its AI data centres in the US. These major tech firms, together with 14 major global banks and other financial institutions and 140 nuclear industry companies in 31 countries, including Canada, France, Japan, the Netherlands, UK and the US, have signed a pledge supporting the goal of at least tripling global nuclear capacity by 2050.

Despite these positive demand trends, the uranium market still has inadequate enrichment infrastructure and restricted mining capacity. The supply chain has been under invested for decades during times of low prices making it poorly equipped to react quickly to this growing demand. For higher cost producers, the discrepancy between market prices and the true cost of mine operations persists even in the anticipation of expected price recovery. Consequently, the market will find it difficult and take time to fulfil anticipated demand growth unless large investments are made in extraction conversion and enrichment facilities.

Uranium Price

Most of the countries that use nuclear-generated electricity do not have sufficient domestic uranium supply to fuel their reactors and secure the majority of their required uranium supply by entering into medium-term and long-term contracts with foreign uranium producers and other suppliers. Remaining supplies are secured through spot purchases of uranium.

On December 31, 2025, the spot price was US$81.55/lb, though entered 2026 with strengthening momentum increasing to US$100.54 on January 30, 2026, its highest level since February 2024, when prices peaked at US$107.00 and subsequently declining to US$86.50/lb by March 17, 2026.

Despite the spot price volatility, the majority of uranium sales occur under long-term contracts. Cameco's Long-Term Uranium Price Indicator was US$86.50 per pound U₃O₈ on December 31, 2025, compared to US$82.00 at the beginning of 2025.

Uranium prices have also been impacted by the increased activity by investment firms acquiring physical inventory for storage. Existing market participants such as Yellowcake Plc have acquired significant physical inventory and as at December 31, 2025 Yellowcake Plc's inventory continued to hold at 21.68 million lbs of U₃O₈. Sprott Physical Uranium Trust has been actively acquiring further inventory and as of December 31, 2025 had increased its holding of uranium to 74.79 million lbs of U₃O₈ overall.

Risks and Uncertainties

The exploration and development of natural resources is a speculative activity involving a high degree of risk. Investment in securities of the Company should only be undertaken by investors whose financial resources are sufficient to enable them to assume such risk and who have no need for immediate liquidity in their investment. Prospective investors should carefully consider the risk factors which may affect the Company and its financial position. A comprehensive summary of these risk factors is included in the section titled "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2025 available under the Company's filings on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

Liquidity and capital resources

As the Company has not commenced production from any of its mineral properties and the Company does not generate cash from operations, the Company has financed its operations with the proceeds of the exercise of stock options and equity financings. The Company is dependent on its Company's ability to secure equity financings to meet its existing obligations and to fund its working capital requirements and the exploration and development of mineral resource properties.

At December 31, 2025, the Company had working capital of $18,798,710 which includes cash and cash equivalents of $18,706,711 to fund its estimated working capital requirement of $2,926,000 for 2026.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company incurred corporate and general expenses of $1,986,000.

At December 31, 2025, the Company had working capital of $18,798,710 which included cash and cash equivalents of $18,706,711. In addition to the cash and cash equivalents currently on hand, in the future, the development of Norasa will require further funding, most likely a combination of equity and debt. The Company is continuing to explore opportunities for off-take and/or the possible participation of a strategic partner. Satisfactory financing arrangements will be required before the Company's Board can make a formal decision to commence the development of Norasa. The success and nature of any financing in the future will be dependent on the prevailing market conditions at that time.

Capital management

The Company's objective when managing capital resources is to ensure it has sufficient capital to support its ongoing operations including a sufficient level of funds to support continued exploration and development in Namibia and to provide adequate returns for shareholders and suitable benefits for other stakeholders.

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the Company's assets. The Board has not yet made a formal decision to commence the development of Norasa, which decision remains subject to, amongst other factors, suitable financing arrangements and prevailing market and economic conditions. Management will consider the issue of senior debt, convertible investments, other financial instruments and the introduction of strategic partners as a means to finance development of Norasa while minimizing equity dilution.

At December 31, 2025, the Company was not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements and there had been no change during the period with respect to the overall capital risk management strategy.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts which give rise to commitments for future minimum payments. At December 31, 2025, the Company has no contractual obligations which have not been recorded in the accounts.

If the Company decides to relinquish certain leases and/or does not meet these obligations or obtain appropriate waivers, asset values recognized in the balance sheet may require review to determine the appropriateness of those carrying values. The sale, transfer or farm-out of exploration rights to third parties will reduce or extinguish any tenement obligations.

Regulatory Disclosures

Critical accounting estimates and judgments

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards requires management to make judgments and/or estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company's accounting policies. These judgments and estimates are continuously evaluated and are based on management's experience and knowledge of the relevant facts and circumstances having regard to prior experience and expectations about future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the year in which the estimate is revised and in any future year affected. Further details of the nature of these estimates and assumptions may be found in the relevant notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Accounting estimates

Impairment of exploration and evaluation

Expenditures on exploration and evaluation are initially capitalized with the intent of establishing commercially viable reserves. The Company is required to make significant judgments in assessing whether there are any indicators of impairment relating to exploration and evaluation property. If any such indicator exists, then an impairment test is performed by management. Indicators of impairment may include (i) the period for which the entity has the right to explore in the specific area has expired during the year or will expire; (ii) substantive expenditure on further exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area is neither budgeted nor planned; (iii) sufficient data exists to support that extracting the resources will not be technically feasible or commercially viable; and (iv) development or sale of a specific area is unlikely to recover existing exploration and evaluation property costs. If any of these indicators are present, management would need to assess whether the exploration and evaluation property should be impaired.


Stock-based compensation and fair value of warrants

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model in determining stock-based compensation and the fair value of warrants, which requires a number of assumptions to be made, including the risk-free interest rate, expected life, forfeiture rate and expected share price volatility. Consequently, the actual stock-based compensation may vary from the amount estimated.

With respect to performance share units, the Company applied judgment to recognize no stock-based compensation as of December 31, 2025 for PSU 3, as the Company has assessed the probability of achieving the vesting condition as not probable of being achieved within the required timeframe and no stock-based compensation has been recognized for this tranche.

Deferred taxes

Deferred income tax assets are recorded to the extent that it is probable that the deductible temporary differences will be recoverable in future periods. The recoverability assessment involves a significant amount of estimation including an evaluation of when the temporary differences will reverse, an analysis of the amount of future taxable earnings, the availability of taxable profits to offset the tax assets when the reversal occurs and the application of tax laws. There are some transactions for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. To the extent that assumptions used in the recoverability assessment change, there may be a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements of future periods.

Accounting judgments

Areas of significant judgment that have the most significant impact on the financial statements are as follows:

Control over lessor

Management exercised judgment in determining that Valencia has no current ability to direct the relevant activities of the Lessor (see page 2, Lease with an option to purchase), and accordingly, that Valencia does not have power over the Lessor. In coming to its conclusion, management reviewed guidance to IFRS 10, the lease and loan agreements and the Agricultural (Commercial) Land Reform Act, 1995.

Accounting for Lease

Management has applied judgment in determining that the Lease (see page 2, Lease with an option to purchase) is out of scope for IFRS16, Leases, but gives rise to financial liability under IFRS 9, Financial Instruments, as the fixed payments are unavoidable to maintain the Company's rights to the mineral property. The Company also exercised judgment in selecting the discount rate used to measure exploration and evaluation and corresponding deferred payment obligation.

Financial instruments

Classification

The Company's financial instruments are classified in accordance with IFRS 9, Financial Instruments and are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, as applicable. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates fair value due to their short-term nature. The carrying value of deferred payment obligation approximates fair value as the obligation bears interest at market rate.

Financial risk management

A number of the Company's accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair values for both financial assets and non-financial assets and liabilities. The fair value has been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the methods described below. Where applicable, additional information on the assumptions used to determine fair value is included in the notes related to the specific asset or liability.

The Company's activities expose it to a variety of risks arising from financial instruments. These risks, and management's objectives, policies and procedures for managing these risks, are discussed below.

i) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counter party's inability to fulfil its payment objectives. The Company's credit risk primarily relates to cash and cash equivalents.

15


The Company manages its credit risk over cash and cash equivalents by purchasing short-term investment grade securities, such as banker's acceptances and bank deposit notes issued by Canadian banks. Under the Company's risk management policy, allowable counterparty exposure limits are determined by the level of the rating unless exceptional circumstances apply. A rating of "A"- grade or equivalent is the minimum allowable rating required as assessed by international credit rating agencies.

ii) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not have sufficient cash resources to meet its financial liabilities as they come due. The Company's approach to managing its liquidity risk is to prepare company-wide rolling cash forecasts to determine the funding required to support the Company's normal operating activities on an ongoing basis.

At December 31, 2025, the Company had working capital of $18,798,710 (2024 - $3,326,696), calculated as follows:

iii) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market price, foreign exchange rates and interest rates will affect the Company's future cash flows and earnings. The impact of each of these components is discussed below.

Price risk - The Company is not exposed to equity securities price risk.

Interest rate risk - Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. At December 31, 2025, the Company's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company's cash and cash equivalents held in bank accounts that earn variable interest rates. Because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments, fluctuations in market rates do not have a significant impact on estimated fair values at December 31, 2025. Future cash flows from interest income on cash will be affected by interest rate fluctuations. Future fluctuations in interest rates will impact the Company's cost of capital which it will require in order to develop its mineral properties. The Company's deferred payment obligation incurs interest at a rate linked to the Namibian prime lending rate.

Foreign currency risk - The Company's foreign currency exposures currently related to the currency in which expenses for exploration and development occur. Future profitability may be materially impacted by fluctuations between the Namibian dollar in which production costs will be incurred and the US dollar in which most sales of uranium occur. Expenses are incurred in Canadian dollars, United States dollars, Namibian dollars, Australian dollars, Euros and British Pounds. The Company is subject to gains and losses due to fluctuations in these currencies.

US dollars

At December 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $18,706,711 which included cash of US$8,562.

Namibian dollars

At December 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $18,706,711 which included cash of N$4,008,686 (Canadian dollar equivalent - $331,518), receivables of N$1,848,046 (Canadian dollar equivalent - $152,833), and accounts payable and accrued liabilities of N$653,231 (Canadian dollar equivalent - $54,022) and current and non-current deferred payment obligation of N$16,558,700 (Canadian dollar equivalent - $1,283,877). If the foreign exchange rate related to the Company's Namibian dollar balances increased or decreased by 10%, with all other variables held constant, the currency translation adjustment would have increased or decreased by $180,000.

Management including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedure as of December 31, 2025. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as defined under the rules of Canadian Securities Administrators were effective to ensure information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted by the Company under Canadian securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in those rules.

Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

Internal controls over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the Company's financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in compliance with IFRS Accounting Standards. The Company's internal controls over financial reporting include policies and procedures that:

  • pertain to the maintenance of records which accurately and fairly reflect the transactions of the Company;
  • provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards;
  • ensure the Company's receipts and expenditures are made only in accordance with authorization of management and the Company's directors; and
  • provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized transactions which could have a material effect on the annual or interim financial statements.

As of December 31, 2025, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting was conducted by the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer. Management has used the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) framework (2013) to assess the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting ("ICFR"). Based on this assessment, management has concluded that the Company's internal controls over financial reporting were effective.

There were no changes in the Company's internal controls which occurred during the period ended December 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations of Controls and Procedures

Internal controls over financial reporting are procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that transactions are properly authorized, assets are safeguarded against unauthorized or improper use, and transactions are properly recorded and reported. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed with securities regulatory agencies is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis and is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance with respect to the reliability of reporting, including financial reporting and financial statement disclosure.
