New Earth Resources Announces Approval Of Application For Additional State Lease Lands Adjacent To Past-Producing Lucky Boy Uranium Project

(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) Vancouver, British Columbia, May 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NEW EARTH RESOURCES CORP. (CSE: EATH) (“ New Earth” or the“ Company” ) is pleased to announce that, as per its February 12, 2026 news release, the application to the Arizona State Land Department for approximately 268 acres of additional state mineral lease land contiguous to the Company's Lucky Boy Uranium Project has been approved. The additional acreage nearly doubles the Company's land position within the Lucky Boy area.

The approved acreage is located directly adjacent to the Company's existing project area and represents a strategic expansion of New Earth's land position within the broader Lucky Boy area. The Company believes that securing additional state lease ground strengthens its overall property position and supports long-term planning for the project.

The additional 268 acres complement the Company's current land package and provide greater strategic flexibility for future exploration activities. Consolidating adjacent ground can assist in potential development planning as the Company continues to evaluate and advance the project area.

“We are very pleased to receive approval for the additional state mineral lease land,” said Lawrence Hay, CEO of New Earth Resources Corp.“The additional land significantly increases our footprint in the area, providing an opportunity to expand upon our existing exploration efforts and continue evaluating the broader project area.”
