NordX Metals Commences Soil Sampling and Reports Initial Boulder Sample Assays at the Asento Uranium Project, Finland

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 30, 2026) - NordX Metals Corp. (CSE: NRDX) (OTCQB: ULTHF) (FSE: 0UL0) ("NordX" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the commencement of a systematic soil sampling program and the receipt of initial assay results confirming widespread uranium mineralisation in boulder samples collected across the Company's 100%-owned Asento Project in Finland.

Soil Sampling Program Underway

The Phase 1 soil program consists of approximately 350 samples collected on a 400mx400m spaced grid, including specific tighter spaced sampling lines targeting the interpreted up-ice source area of previously discovered radioactive boulders; their generally angular shape infers proximity to their bedrock source. Sampling is focused on the top-of-till horizon, with samples submitted to CRS laboratories for multi-element geochemical analysis, including key pathfinders associated with uranium, base metals, and gold.

The program has been designed to:

• Delineate geochemical anomalies associated with the boulder field;

• Refine "Bottom-of-Till" ("BOT") drill-target definition for a planned drill program (Q4 2026/Q1 2027); and

• Improve understanding of ice-flow direction and dispersion patterns.

First Boulder Assay Results Received

The Company has received assays from 20 boulder samples, with assay results ranging from 0.005%U3O8 to 0.213%U3O8, having an average grade of 0.081%U3O8 and a median grade of 0.0665% U3O8. Assay highlights including:

• 0.213% U3O8

• 0.190% U3O8

• 0.188% U3O8

• 0.162% U3O8
