Expands Footprint in the Powder River Basin with New Claims and State Lease Acquisitions\n(TheNewswire)\n\n\n\n \n\n \n\n\nVancouver, Canada – April 7,\n2026 – TheNewswire\n- URZ3 Energy Corp. (“URZ” or the\n“Company”)(TSX-V: URZ; OTCQB: URZEF), a leading exploration and\ndevelopment company focused on uranium, is pleased to announce that\nstaking of claims and acquisition of state leases in the highly\nprospective Powder River Basin of Wyoming is ongoing. This strategic\nexpansion is based on extensive reviews of newly acquired historical\ndrill logs and reports from American Nuclear Drilling in the 1970s, as\nwell as positive results from a recent radiometric survey conducted on\nthe Company’s Dry Fork Uranium property. This combined data was\ncritical in expanding the land position.\n\n\n \n\n\nThe Powder River Basin is renowned for its rich uranium\ndeposits and has a storied history of uranium production. Members of\nthe URZ3 team have firsthand experience in the area, having\nsuccessfully put an In-Situ Recovery (ISR) mine into production in the\npast. This knowledge, combined with the newly acquired historical data\nand recent geophysical results, positions URZ3 to capitalize on the\nuntapped potential of the region.\n\n\n \n\n\nA radiometric survey was carried out over parts of the\nDry Fork Uranium property in late 2025. The survey identified several\nareas with elevated radioactive counts. One area in particular in the\nnorth central part of the property delineated a broad zone across\nmultiple lines.\n\n\n \n\n\n“Our recent acquisitions in the Powder River Basin\nsignify a pivotal step in our growth strategy,” said Darcy Higgs,\nInterim CEO of URZ3 Energy Corp. “The combination of our team’s\nin-depth experience and the wealth of historical information we have\nreviewed allows us to target areas with the highest potential for\nuranium resources. We are excited about the opportunity to advance\nthese claims and leases into the next phase of exploration.”\n\n\n \n\n\nThe Company’s technical team has meticulously\nanalyzed historical drilling data and geological reports, identifying\nkey zones that demonstrate promising uranium mineralization.
