[{"type":"text","content":" Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 27, 2026) - DARK STAR MINERALS INC. (CSE: BATT) (the \"Company\" or \"Dark Star\") is pleased to announce a renewed strategic focus on advancing uranium exploration assets located in stable, established mining jurisdictions, with an emphasis on Canada's premier uranium-bearing regions. This approach reflects the Company's commitment to operating in jurisdictions with established regulatory frameworks, clear permitting processes, and a long history of responsible uranium exploration and development. As part of this strategy, the Company has outlined a focused, phased exploration work program designed to advance priority uranium targets at the Ghost Lake Uranium Project, with a planned exploration budget of approximately C$300,000, subject to final program design and funding. On April 15, 2026, the Company completed a Condition 2 (C2) extension of the Ghost Lake mineral claims pursuant to the mineral tenure regulations of Newfoundland and Labrador, maintaining the claims in good standing and allowing continued exploration activities while assessment work requirements are satisfied in accordance with provincial guidelines. In addition, the Company confirms that it has extended its Bleasdell Lake uranium claims in Saskatchewan, with tenure now secured through April 17, 2027, providing continued claim validity while the Company evaluates and advances exploration plans on the property. At Ghost Lake, the planned exploration program will emphasize surface-based geological verification of previously identified radiometric anomalies and prospective lithological contacts. Work will include detailed geological mapping and prospecting across multiple priority target areas, with particular attention paid to zones exhibiting elevated radiometric and gamma-ray responses interpreted from historic datasets and more recent surveys. These areas are interpreted to be associated with lithological contacts, structural features, and rhyolitic and volcanoclastic units. Field activities will incorporate hand-held scintillometer surveys to refine the distribution and intensity of radiometric responses on the ground. Where warranted, selective hand trenching may be undertaken to improve bedrock exposure and evaluate subsurface continuity of anomalous zones. Channel sampling will be conducted across tre...
