(TSXV: NOBL) (OTCQB: IXIXF) (FSE: INE) (\"Noble Plains\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that it has secured an option to acquire a 100% interest in 30 highly strategic mineral claims collectively called the Shirley Central Property in the prolific Shirley Basin of Wyoming, a historically productive and infrastructure rich uranium district in the United States. Several of the Shirley Central Property claims lie directly within Ur-Energy Inc.'s Shirley Basin permit boundary, while others are surrounded by Uranium Energy Corp's (UEC) land package-placing Noble Plains in the middle of a rapidly developing uranium hub. Ur-Energy Inc.'s Shirley Basin Project currently hosts a National Instrument 43-101 compliant Measured (1,367,000 short tons) and Indicated (549,000 short tons) Resource of 8.816 million pounds U₃O₈ at 0.23%1 and is under active construction2.\"This acquisition is a clear reflection of our strategy-targeting sound geological projects in premier U.S. uranium jurisdictions,\" stated Drew Zimmerman, President of Noble Plains. \"We're focused on acquiring brownfield assets with proven potential and strong ISR amenability, and this new land package in the Shirley Basin is a prime example.\"Figure 1: Shirley Central Property Acquisition MapTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/3717/254324_3f0e6a5c14a00aef_001full.jpgThe Company has obtained, digitized, and interpreted historical aerial photos and records to reveal at least five distinct areas of dense, systematic drilling within the Shirley Central Property as conducted by past operators, such as Kerr-McGee (see Figure 1). These were drilled between former producing open-pit mines, targeting uranium mineralization with denser grid spacing (25m by 25m) designed to delineate higher-grade zones. Historic exploration density strongly suggests high-confidence targets for future ISR resource delineation. Noble Plains plans to fast-track permitting to begin drilling on these \"bullseye\" targets by late summer 2025.\"The Shirley Basin is very well-understood geologically and in a historically productive uranium district in t...
