[{"type":"text","content":"May 4, 2026 – TheNewswire —Bedford Metals Corp. (TSX-V: BFM, FWB: 08D, ISIN: CA0762301012) (the “Company” or “Bedford”) is pleased to announce the results of the third phase of its 2025 field program, completed in December 2025, at its wholly owned Sheppard Lake Uranium Project, located on the southern edge of Saskatchewan’s prolific Athabasca Basin. Highlights include: TZ-1: Up to 4,114 CPS, 0.032% U and 11ppm Boron TZ-2: Up to 2,350 CPS, 0.016% U and 18ppm Boron Warr Lake: Up to 10,609 CPS and 16ppm Boron in the Silica Cap Zone SHP-25-02: 50.6ppm Boron over 25.27m, including 972ppm Boron from 207-207.77m The phase 3 field program consisted of 3 radiometric surveys, prospecting, and 298.5m of diamond drilling. In total, 92 rock samples (grab samples and drill core) were delivered to the SRC Geoanalytical Laboratory in Saskatoon and were analysed for multi-element, U3O8, and boron assay analyses. Radiometric Surveys Radiometric surveys covered 36.4 line-km across three targeted locations: the area west of and adjacent to TZ-2, TZ-1, and an area west of Warr Lake. Data was collected using high-resolution grids, with readings taken every 10 metres along 500-metre lines and a line spacing of 25 metres. The 3,648 total readings resulted in the identification of nine anomalous areas, with the most notable being at the TZ-2 west and TZ-1 zones. At TZ-1, 1,468 readings were collected, revealing four anomalous areas with peak CPS values ranging from 420 to 1,134 CPS. At TZ-2 west, 952 readings were collected, identifying three anomalous areas with peak CPS values between 704 and 1,231 CPS. At Warr Lake, 1,228 readings were collected, delineating two broad anomalous areas with CPS values ranging from 153 to 395 CPS. Prospecting A total of 18 grab samples were collected during prospecting of outcrops at TZ-1, TZ-2 West, and at Warr Lake. Notable results from TZ-1 include CPS readings of up to 4,114 CPS, 0.032% U₃O₈, and 11 ppm Boron, while TZ-2 West highlights include CPS readings of up to 2,350 CPS, 0.016% U₃O₈, and 18 ppm Boron. By early December, sufficient ice coverage allowed the team to access two islands in the centre of Warr Lake. The larger eastern island consists of pink I-type granite exhibiting pronounced banding and metamorphism, with elevated radiometric readings and hotspots of 1,400, 7,145, and...
