These targets are supported by the successful completion of a radon-in-water survey at Howland Lake, which has defined multiple strong anomalies along strike of high-grade uranium drill intersections obtained during the summer 2024 program. The Murmac Project is being advanced under an Option Agreement executed on December 15, 2023, between Aero and Fortune Bay Corp. (\"Fortune Bay\"). Aero Energy is fully funding the exploration program, with drilling operated by Fortune Bay.Winter 2025 Exploration Program HighlightsLake Water Radon Anomalies:Three distinct radon-in-water anomalies have been identified along strike of M24-017, which intersected 8.40 m at 0.30% U₃O₈, including individual assays up to 13.80% U₃O₈ over 0.10 m.An additional strong radon anomaly was detected at Howland Lake South, along strike of M22-012, which previously intersected 0.17% U₃O₈ over 0.10 m in structured graphitic rocks.These radon anomalies directly overlie key electromagnetic (\"EM\") conductors, which are known to host basement uranium mineralization in the Athabasca Basin.Drill Target Selection:Drill targets have been refined using multiple criteria, including radon-in-water anomalies, EM conductor breaks, structural complexity, and historically mineralized cross-faults.Drilling Program:Up to six drill holes (~900 metres) are planned for Winter 2025, targeting radon anomalies and unexplored graphitic corridors at Howland Lake North and South.A drilling contract has been finalized, and drilling is scheduled to begin in March 2025, subject to ice conditions.Galen McNamara, CEO of Aero Energy, commented: \"The results from the radon-in-water survey have given us strong, focused drill targets at Murmac, directly overlying key graphitic conductors and high-grade uranium intersections.
