Toronto, January 14, 2026 — Premier American Uranium Inc. (“PUR”, the “Company” or “Premier American Uranium”) (TSXV: PUR) (OTCQB: PAUIF) is pleased to announce completion of the 2025 exploration drilling program at the Cyclone Rim target area of the Company’s wholly-owned Cyclone ISR Uranium Project (“Cyclone” or the “Project”), located in the Great Divide Basin of south-central Wyoming. The exploration program commenced on July 16, 2025, with the objective of further defining sandstone-hosted uranium mineralization that was partially outlined during the Company’s 2024 exploration program. The Project is situated in the vicinity of Ur-Energy Inc.’s Lost Creek ISR uranium mine and Uranium Energy Corp.’s Sweetwater uranium production facility (Figure 2).

 

Highlights

 

-          Positive drill results include mineralized zones encountered in areas where uranium mineralization was not previously known to occur, and extensions of known mineralization along a previously identified geologic trend. Twenty-five conventional mud rotary holes were completed for a total of 17,160 ft of drilling in 2025 (Figure 1).

-          Thirteen of the 25 drill holes intersected uranium mineralization at grades of 0.01% eU₃O₈ or higher (see Table 1 for complete results). Notably, hole CR25-001 returned 15.5 ft grading 0.09% eU₃O₈. Within this overall mineralized intercept is a three-foot thick zone that averages 0.229% eU3O8.

-          Drilling at the Cyclone Rim target in 2024 identified flat lying uranium mineralization along a ½-mile, east-west trend. The 2025 drilling program has extended that mineralized trend and has identified a second trend of uranium mineralization running north-south over a 1.5-mile distance. Both mineralized zones remain open in multiple directions and are expected to be further investigated in future exploration drill programs.

 

Colin Healey, CEO of PUR commented, “We are encouraged by the strong results returned from drilling at Cyclone Rim this season. With each phase, our understanding of the mineralized system improves, and we remain focused on expanding known zones of mineralization while also uncovering new areas of potential mineralization. The 2025 program not only delivered the best-known uranium-mineralized intercept to-date at the Project, but also succeeded in extending the ½-mile mineralized trend identified during our 2024 campaign, and identified a promising new, large, 1.5-mile mineralized trend, for future follow-up. We look forward to leveraging the data obtained during the 2025 field season to optimize 2026 initiatives. I congratulate our technical team on the strong execution in the field in 2025 as we continue to uncover the potential at the Cyclone project.”

Drill holes reported here encountered uranium mineralization with >1-ft thickness at or above a cut-off grade of 0.01% eU3O8. All grades were calculated from gamma-ray logs measured by Hawkins CBM Logging of Cody, Wyoming, a highly experienced and skilled independent borehole geophysical contractor. Hawkins CBM Logging’s geophysical probe was most recently calibrated at the US Department of Energy’s Casper, Wyoming logging test pits in June 2025. Uranium grades cited were calculated from gamma-ray logs, and the cited grades are “equivalent” (“e”) grades of U3O8. All drill holes are vertical in orientation and the geologic units hosting the uranium mineralization are flat lying, therefore reported thicknesses are true thicknesses. No corrections were made for radiometric disequilibrium.

Cyclone Project

 

The Project is situated in the Wyoming Basin physiographic province, in south-central Wyoming and within the Great Divide Basin (Figure 2). Uranium mineralization occurs in the Tertiary age Battle Spring Formation as sandstone-hosted roll-fronts. PUR’s mineral holdings include 1,161 unpatented mining claims and 9 State leases. In total, the Project comprises approximately 26,180 acres. Portions of the Project area were explored by various companies beginning in the 1950’s.

 

Wyoming has led the US in uranium production since 1995, and since the first uranium mines started operating in 1951, the state has produced more than 238 million pounds of uranium concentrate. Wyoming hosts the largest known economic uranium ore reserves in the US, which are in the Powder River Basin, Great Divide Basin, Shirley Basin, and Gas Hills (Wind River Basin).[i]
