[{"type":"text","content":"\n \nU.S. Forest Service Approves Construction of Up to Seven Drill Pads covering the Apex Mine\nVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 21, 2026) - Manhattan Uranium Discovery Corp. (TSXV: MANU) (OTC Pink: MAUUF) (FSE: J5B0) (\"Manhattan\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that the U.S. Forest Service has approved the Apex Plan of Operations, authorizing drilling to advance high-priority uranium exploration at the Company's Apex Uranium Project in Lander County, Nevada. This approval clears the way for the construction of up to seven drill pads, a staging area, new temporary road access and limited cross-country travel.\nKey Highlights\n\nDrill Permit Secured: U.S. Forest Service has approved the Apex Plan of Operations, delivering a critical regulatory milestone at the Apex Uranium Project in Lander County, Nevada.\n\n\nUp to Seven Drill Pads Now Authorized: This approval green-lights construction of up to seven drill pads, a staging area, new temporary road access, and limited cross-country travel, while still limiting surface disturbance to just 0.93 acres.\n\n\nAdvances Nevada's Largest Past-Producing Uranium Mine: Clears the path to test and expand high-grade historical uranium mineralization at the Apex Uranium Project - Nevada's largest past-producing uranium mine - which produced approximately 50% of Nevada's all-time uranium output, including standout historical intercepts of 34.1 metres at 0.37% U₃O₈ and 15.2 metres at 0.51% U₃O₈1,2,3.\n\n\nMinimal Environmental Footprint: The approved program is designed for low-impact exploration within a one-year window from the start of work on National Forest lands, consistent with Manhattan's commitment to responsible development.\n\n\nStrengthens Consolidated U.S. Uranium Platform: Delivers a key regulatory milestone at the Apex Project, enhancing Manhattan's premier North American pure-play uranium platform of 15 past-producing mines on 25 underexplored U.S. properties following the recent acquisitions of Urano Energy Corp. and Pegasus Resources Inc.\n\n\nNational Energy Security Priorities: The approval supports recent U.S. Executive Orders aimed at expanding domestic uranium production, strengthening the nuclear fuel supply chain, and advancing energy independence and national security.\n\nFigure 1: Map of the Apex Uranium Project\n\"Receipt of our Apex P...
