Azincourt acquires options for full ownership of Harrier uranium project in Canada
The Harrier project spans 48,975ha and is situated next to Azincourt's Snegamook uranium project, bringing the total project area to 49,400ha.
To acquire a 100% interest in the Harrier project, Azincourt will make a total cash payment of C$250,000 ($180,376) over four years, along with share issuances and exploration expenditures.
Post-acquisition, the project will be subject to a 2% gross production royalty, with the option to buy back half by paying C$1m to the optionor.
Additionally, the project is subject to a 0.5% gross production royalty, half of which can be bought back for a cash payment of C$250,000 to Koba.
In addition to this, Azincourt has also entered into a property option agreement with Koba and Uranidor to obtain complete ownership of certain mineral claims located adjacent to and in the vicinity of the Harrier project.
The staked option for the adjacent claims will require a cash payment of C$50,000 and issuance of common shares, with a 2% gross production royalty, which can be bought back for a cash payment of C$1m to Koba.
Azincourt CEO Alex Klenman said: "We are very pleased to add Harrier to our project portfolio. It combines established uranium mineralisation with exceptional blue-sky developmental opportunities.
"The markets have changed in the past few years, and there is perhaps less appetite for pure greenfield exploration than in the past. Uranium discovery isn't easy. This is a significant opportunity for Azincourt to dive directly into ground containing high-grade uranium. We are eager to begin systematic exploration there and to realise the value we feel is waiting to be unlocked.'
With 12 zones of known uranium mineralisation, the Harrier project has seen rock samples assay more than 1% triuranium octoxide, with some high-grade results reaching up to 7.48%.
The project has high-grade assay results from various prospects, with the Fish Hawk North Prospect, Brook Prospect and Moran Heights Prospect showing particularly high-grade samples.
In March 2025, Azincourt received the necessary permits to commence exploration drilling at the Snegamook uranium project in the Central Mineral Belt.

Azincourt Energy Provides Update on the Harrier Uranium Project
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 12, 2025) - AZINCOURT ENERGY CORP. (TSXV: AAZ) (OTCQB: AZURF) ("Azincourt" or the "Company"), is pleased to provide an update on compilation work on the recently acquired Harrier Project in the Central Mineral Belt in Labrador, Canada. SUMMARY Azincourt's 49,400 ha Harrier Project, which also contains the Company's existing Snegamook Uranium Deposit, is directly adjacent to and on trend with Atha Energy's Moran Lake C (9.6 Mlbs U₃O₈) and Anna Lake (4.9 Mlbs U₃O₈) deposits, and Paladin Energy's Michelin Project (127.7 million lbs U₃O₈). In addition to the Snegamook Deposit, high-grade uranium has been identified elsewhere at Harrier Lake - with surface samples up to 7.48% U₃O₈ and 14 mineralized zones across the property. Minimal historic drilling (124 holes) leaves significant untapped discovery potential. Azincourt's 2025 field work and 2026 drill program aim to unlock value across this underexplored, uranium-rich corridor. Central Mineral Belt: A Re-Emerging Uranium Frontier Labrador's Central Mineral Belt ("CMB") is one of Canada's most underexplored yet highly prospective uranium regions. Known for its numerous uranium and base metal deposits and showings, the CMB has seen renewed interest due to growing global demand for secure, domestic uranium supply as countries aim to increase nuclear power capacity to meet net-zero emissions goals. The CMB hosts multiple large-scale uranium discoveries, including Paladin Energy's Michelin Uranium Project (127.7 million lbs U₃O₈), the Moran Lake C Deposit (historical resource of 9.6 Mlbs U₃O₈ and 11.8 Mlbs V₂O₅), and the Anna Lake Deposit (historical resource of 4.9 Mlbs U₃O₈). These known resources demonstrate the Belt's exceptional uranium endowment - but vast areas remain underexplored, with modern techniques only recently being applied across the region. With its stable jurisdiction, historical high-grade discoveries, and modern exploration momentum, the CMB is emerging as one of North America's most exciting uranium exploration corridors. Figure 1: Azincourt land position overlain on the geology of the Central Mineral Belt, Labrador, Canada To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: The Harrier Project: A Strategic Position in the CMB Azincourt's Harrier Project - now expanded to include its previously acquired Snegamook Deposit - at 49,400 hectares represents one of the largest land positions in the Central Mineral Belt. The Harrier Project straddles key uranium-bearing structural corridors directly adjacent to and on trend with Atha Energy's Moran Lake and Anna Lake projects, and Paladin Energy's Michelin project - placing Azincourt at the center of a proven and growing uranium camp. The Harrier Project, with over a dozen known uranium mineralization zones and surface rock samples grading up to 7.48% U₃O₈ (and >1.0% U₃O₈ in 10 distinct zones), offers a rare combination of grade, scale, and geological continuity. Notably, only 124 drill holes (19,851 metres total, over half of this on the former Snegamook project area) have ever been completed across the combined property - leaving ample opportunity for new discovery with modern methods. Harrier Project and Snegamook Deposit: Uranium Mineralization and Geology Figure 2: Azincourt's Harrier Project. To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: The Harrier Project includes 14 identified zones containing known uranium mineralization. At this time, we are providing additional information on two areas which cover four of these prospects, the Moran Heights Prospect and the Boiteau Lake area. These areas are along trend to the northeast from the Moran Lake C uranium deposit. Additional prospects and areas will be disclosed further as the compilation progresses and field work to confirm and examine the property is undertaken. The Snegamook Deposit and prospect to its southeast were discussed in a news release dated March 18, 2025. Moran Heights Prospect The Moran Heights Prospect is underlain by a sequence of sandstone, conglomerate and minor intercalated volcanic flows. These rocks are overlain by a thick sequence of subaerial bimodal volcanic rocks ranging from andesite and basaltic andesite to ignimbrites and rhyolite. The prospect is along trend of, and in a similar geologic setting as the Moran Lake C uranium deposit. Several companies have been involved in working the area over the years. Uranium was initially discovered in 1978 with the initial showing consisting of 11 boulders averaging 0.66% U3O8. In 1979 one drill hole returned 0.062% U3O8/ 0.3 m, and a boulder sample collected that same year averaged 2.36% U3O8. Trenching uncovered a slightly mineralized outcrop with a sample returning 44 ppm U. An extensive field program in 2006 consisted of 25 reconnaissance drill holes which retuned varying amounts of uranium up to 0.2% U3O8. In addition, boulder sampling returned grades up to 3.74% and include an outcrop sample that assayed 5.83% U3O8. In 2024, Koba Resources Inc. ("Koba") collected high-grade samples of 7.2% (boulder) and 7.48% U3O8 (outcrop). In addition, historical results include an outcrop sample that assayed 5.83% U3O8. Figure 3: General geology map of the Moran Heights area. To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: The Boiteau Group The Boiteau group consist of 9 licences covering 15,700 ha. This is the northernmost block of the Harrier Project and straddles the Kanariktok Bay Shear Zone (KSZ, Figure 1). The licences are underlain by a sequence of sandstone, conglomerate, and massive volcanic flows. Airborne magnetics, Landsat imagery, air photo interpretation and ground investigation identified a 12 km long, northeast trending structural corridor located in the heart of the Boiteau claims. Although only a portion of this structural feature has been prospected in detail, significant uranium mineralization was found in 2008 in nine separate bedrock showings over a strike length of nearly 4.5 km. The Boiteau Prospect returned very high grades, including 1.48% U3O8 and 1.10% U3O8. The source of these boulders has yet to be determined. During the summer of 2024, Koba investigated a series of airborne radiometric anomalies, identifying additional high-grade uranium at the Goshawk Prospect, located 4.5 km east of the Boiteau Prospect, along a 1.25 km long radiometric anomaly. A boulder sample returned 3.68% U3O8 and 1.21% Pb. During the same program, the Falcon Prospect was identified, located 6 km south-southwest of the Boiteau Prospect, along a 700 m long airborne radiometric anomaly. A boulder sample returned 0.33% U3O8. The Company is continuing to compile additional details of historical drilling and recent groundwork at the Harrier Project and will provide more details as the process advances. Planning is underway for additional prospecting and ground truthing of anomalies during the summer of 2025. An initial summer program is being planned to evaluate additional anomalies, examine existing prospects, and examine historical drill core for the Snegamook Deposit in advance of a significant field program in 2026 which will include diamond drilling. Efforts will also be made to locate historical reconnaissance drill core for the Moran Heights area. "As we dig into the data we are receiving for the Harrier Project, the amount of work to be completed and the opportunities for discovery this presents are phenomenal," commented Trevor Perkins, Vice President of Exploration. "The acquisition of this underexplored land package in the center of the CMB is game-changing for Azincourt," continued Mr. Perkins.
