| * All of the holes drilled are vertical and the geological units are essentially flat so that intercept widths are interpreted to be true thickness. The water table in the first 24 holes ranges from a depth of 5 feet to 33 feet and averages 13 feet deep. |
"The second set of results demonstrate the continuity and strength of the roll-front system we are defining in an area we had no drill data before," said Paul Cowley, COO of Noble Plains Uranium. "We are getting very solid numbers; nice thicknesses and good grade in these holes. Thirteen of the sixteen new holes intersected uranium mineralisation with a high of 2.28 Grade-Thickness ("GT") and an average of 0.69 GT, which is over three times the industry standard cut-off of 0.2 GT typically used in Wyoming roll front uranium deposits."
The Company filed a Technical Report, available on SEDAR under the Company's profile, on the Duck Creek Project on August 14, 2025, which outlined an exploration target ranging from 2.37 million tons at 0.03% U3O8 to 5.45 million tons at 0.05% U3O8. These ranges were based on assumed Grade-Thickness ("GT") values of 0.2 for the lower case and 0.598 for the upper case. The exploration target is conceptual in nature, does not meet the standards to be classified as mineral resources or mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the exploration target will be realized.
Figure 1 shows the location of the sixteen new holes in red with first eight holes in blue within the 3-mile-long trend of historic drilling. These first twenty-four holes are part of the 130 planned "expansion" holes referred to under the Ongoing Drill Program Overview section below.

Ongoing Drill Program Overview
The Duck Creek drill program, permitted for up to 37,400 ft across ~150 holes, is structured around three key objectives:
1. Confirmation of Historic Data - 16 Holes
To verify 1,317 historic intercepts in the Wasatch Formation and support a uranium resource prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 standards.
2. Expansion of Shallow Mineralisation ~ 130 Holes
Designed to extend mineralised boundaries and target higher-grade areas along the 3-mile-long Wasatch roll-front corridor.
3. First-Ever Drilling of the Fort Union Formation ~ 10 Holes
For the first time, Noble Plains will drill to ~1,200 ft to test the Fort Union, where neighbouring projects host the majority of their compliant resources.
Details of the Drilling Program
* The geophysical results are based on equivalent uranium (eU3O8) of the gamma-ray probes calibrated at the Department of Energy's Test Facility in Casper, Wyoming. A geophysical tool with gamma-ray, spontaneous potential, resistivity, and drift detectors was utilized. The reader is cautioned that the reported uranium grades may not reflect actual concentrations due to the potential for disequilibrium between uranium and its gamma emitting daughter products. The drill results were determined using thickness and grade % cutoffs of 2-ft and 0.02% eU3O8.
The drilling was completed by Tyler Exploration Inc. utilizing a truck mounted mud-rotary rig and the geophysical logging by Hawkins CBM Logging, both of Wyoming. Bradley Parkes P.Geo, VP Exploration and Paul Cowley P.Geo, Chief Operating Officer for Noble Plains Uranium Corp., supervised the drilling activities.
Next Steps and Outlook
Drilling is ongoing and the Company will continue releasing results in batches to maintain transparency and demonstrate progress as the confirmation and expansion phases advance. The first deep Fort Union tests are planned for later in the program.
With the results of the ongoing drill campaign, along with the historic database, the Company continues to aim for a resource estimate prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 standards in the first half of 2026.
About Noble Plains Uranium
Noble Plains Uranium Corp. is a U.S.-focused uranium exploration and development company advancing a portfolio of high-potential projects amenable to In Situ Recovery (ISR) - the most capital-efficient and environmentally responsible method of uranium extraction. Our strategy targets historically drilled and underexplored assets in proven jurisdictions, with the objective of rapidly delineating NI 43-101 compliant resources and building a scalable inventory of domestic uranium.
