[{"type":"text","content":"Gravity Survey Underway at High-Grade Manganese Prospects to Delineate Priority Drill TargetsField crews mobilized at Pearana and Pothole-Sharks Fin manganese prospects with high-resolution gravity survey data acquisition well underway.Early gravity data confirms high-density anomalies at Pothole, near previous rock chips up to 43% Mn, interpreted to represent manganese mineralization.Results validate AEF's exploration model and are rapidly advancing drill targets across the Pearana-Pothole-Sharks Fin corridor.Prospects remain on track for drilling following standout surface assays of up to 57% Mn, with gravity program designed to define the mineralization at depth.Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 20, 2026) - AE Fuels Corporation (TSXV: AEF) (OTCQB: NRGFF) (\"AEF\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that gravity survey crews have commenced surveying at the Pearana and Pothole-Sharks Fin target areas at the Company's South Woodie Woodie Manganese Project in the Pilbara Region of Western Australia. Preliminary raw data has been received and is already identifying encouraging subsurface features and anomalies.The gravity survey represents the next phase of rapidly advancing exploration following the Company's recently announced high-grade manganese rock-chip sampling results at Pearana, Pothole and Sharks Fin, which confirmed multiple high-grade manganese occurrences across a district-scale trend (refer announcement April 14, 2026).Figure 1.

The coincidence of gravity-high anomalies with our highest-grade surface samples is precisely what we were targeting, and it gives us confidence in the mineralization continuing at depth.Our surface sampling results already identified the scale and grade po...
