Laramide's La Jara Mesa Uranium Project Designated for U.S. Federal Permitting Priority Under U.S. Critical Minerals Initiative
The inclusion of La Jara Mesa on the Federal Permitting Dashboard is part of a second wave of critical mineral production projects submitted under President Trump's Executive Order for increasing American mineral production. This designation enhances transparency and accountability by making environmental review timelines publicly accessible through the Dashboard. The public tracking system enables government, industry, and community stakeholders to monitor progress and ensures a more efficient and coordinated permitting process.
"We are very pleased that La Jara Mesa has been recognized as a priority critical minerals project and included on the U.S. federal Permitting Dashboard," said Marc Henderson, President and CEO of Laramide Resources. "This designation is a meaningful milestone that reflects both the strategic value of uranium to U.S. energy security and the importance of developing domestic sources of supply. The enhanced transparency and coordination process will facilitate an efficient path forward to advancing La Jara Mesa to production."
About La Jara Mesa
The La Jara Mesa Uranium Project is a significant development-stage asset owned by Laramide Resources Ltd., situated in the prolific Grants Mineral Belt of Cibola County, New Mexico. This sandstone-hosted uranium deposit lies approximately 10 miles northeast of the town of Grants, within the Mount Taylor Ranger District of the Cibola National Forest.
The project has a National Instrument 43-101 compliant mineral resource estimate of approximately 7.26 million pounds of U₃O₈ in the Measured and Indicated categories, contained within 1.56 million tons at an average grade of 0.23% U₃O₈. Additionally, there are 3.17 million pounds of U₃O₈ in the Inferred category, within 793,161 tons at an average grade of 0.20% U₃O₈.
Laramide has been actively progressing through the permitting process. The U.S. Forest Service is preparing an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to assess the development of an underground uranium mine and associated surface facilities.

About Laramide Resources Ltd.
Laramide is focused on exploring and developing high-quality uranium assets in Tier-1 uranium jurisdictions. The company's portfolio comprises predominantly advanced uranium projects in districts with historical production or superior geological prospectivity. The assets have been carefully chosen for their size and production potential, and the two large development projects are considered to be late-stage, low-technical risk projects. As well, Laramide has expanded its pipeline with strategic exploration in Kazakhstan where the company is exploring over 5,500 km 2 of the prolific Chu-Sarysu Basin for world class roll-front deposits which are amenable to in-situ recovery.

While there have been no material changes since the last update, steady progress has continued on the review and refinement of key technical sections. The Company remains actively engaged with its team of qualified professionals to finalize the report's technical inputs, ensuring accuracy and alignment with industry standards. The review team continues to validate and update core assumptions, including price forecasts and market entry strategies, to reflect current market conditions and strategic business objectives. The report remains on track for completion in 2025, positioning Karnalyte for future corporate development opportunities. The Company remains committed to advancing its potash project, underpinned by strong global demand and a robust offtake agreement. Potash's role as a vital agricultural input continues to reinforce the Company's long-term value proposition. Karnalyte's review of its development strategy, initiated in 2024, remains on schedule and is expected to conclude in 2025. This strategic review focuses on assessing the economic potential of expanding magnesium chloride production at the Wynyard Project by developing magnesium resources alongside the Potash Project. The Company is continuing its evaluation of the co-production of magnesium chloride and potassium chloride through advanced solution mining technologies. The underlying resource, carnallite (hydrated potassium magnesium chloride), is abundant within Karnalyte's mineral deposit. This ongoing analysis is aimed at unlocking additional value through the potential integration of magnesium chloride production into the existing project framework. Magnesium is recognized as one of Canada's 34 critical minerals and is an essential mineral in the clean technologies and advanced manufacturing value chains. ASSET SALES In April 2025, the Company closed on the sale of three parcels of farmland that are not core to the focus on advancing the Potash Project. These three parcels sold for net proceeds totaling $1,408,000.
