Mustang Energy Corp. Commences Field Program at 914W Uranium Project

/EIN News/ -- VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mustang Energy Corp. (CSE: MEC, OTC:MECPF, FRA:92T) (the “Company” or “Mustang”) is pleased to announce the commencement of its 2025 field exploration program at the 914W Project (the “Project”), located in a prospective region known for its mineral potential south of the world-renowned Athabasca Basin. The Company purchased an interest in the Project pursuant to an option agreement (the “Option Agreement”) with Skyharbour Resources Ltd. whereby the Company may acquire a 75% interest in the Project by satisfying certain conditions. Please refer to the Company’s news release dated November 13, 2024, as filed under the Company’s SEDAR+ profile, for further details regarding the Option Agreement.

The field program at the Project will involve surface prospecting activities, including detailed rock and soil sampling, aimed at identifying zones of mineralization and alteration across target areas. The sampling program will be carried out over nine days. Results from this phase of exploration are expected to inform further exploration efforts, including geophysical surveys or drilling in future phases. The program marks a step forward in Mustang’s strategy to advance projects through systematic exploration.

“We’re excited to launch our first field program of the summer at 914W,” said Nick Luksha CEO of Mustang Energy Corp. “The project area has shown encouraging geological features, and our upcoming work is designed to generate meaningful results that will guide the next phases of exploration.”

About the 914W Uranium Project

The Project is situated approximately 48 km southwest of Cameco’s Key Lake Operation, offering favourable logistics and access via Highway 914. The Project is strategically positioned within the Western Wollaston Domain, known for unconformity-related and pegmatite-hosted uranium mineralization.

The Project hosts favorable geology with local graphite bearing assemblages. Immediately to the north of the Project is the Scurry Rainbow Zone E¹ and the Don Lake Trenches², where up to 1,288 ppm U was encountered in drill hole ML-11, and surface prospecting revealed up to 0.64% U₃O₈ in a trench at Don Lake Zone E².

The Company advises that, notwithstanding the proximity of location, discoveries of minerals on or near the Scurry Rainbow Zone E, Don Lake Trenches, and Cameco’s Key Lake Operation, and any promising results thereof are not necessarily indicative of the mineralization of, or located on the Project, or the Company’s ability to commercially exploit the Project, or to locate any commercially exploitable deposits therefrom. The Company cautions investors on relying on this information as the Company has not confirmed the accuracy or reliability of the information.

While historical exploration conducted several geophysical and geological surveys over portions of the property, most of the Project remains underexplored. Mustang sees potential for advancing uranium and rare earth element (REE) exploration on this property.
