Foremost Clean Energy Ltd. has received a three-year exploration permit from the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment for its Turkey Lake uranium project, authorizing up to 75 drill holes and related fieldwork through December 31, 2028. This permit marks a significant step forward for the company's exploration activities in the uranium-rich Athabasca Basin region, where it holds an option to earn up to a 70% interest in 10 prospective uranium properties spanning over 330,000 acres. The company's mission is to make significant discoveries alongside and in collaboration with Denison through systematic and disciplined exploration programs, as detailed in the full press release available at https://ibn.fm/qoIVC.
The permit approval comes at a time when global interest in domestic uranium production is increasing as countries seek to secure supply chains for nuclear energy. The Athabasca Basin is recognized as one of the world's most productive uranium regions, hosting high-grade deposits that have made Canada a leading uranium producer. Foremost's exploration activities at Turkey Lake represent the next phase of discovery potential in this geologically favorable area, following historic uranium intercepts by industry leaders Cameco and Denison along the underexplored 10-kilometer conductive corridor where the project is located.
A ground-based gravity survey by MWH Geo Survey will begin in December to refine targets ahead of a planned 2026 drill program. As the demand for carbon-free energy continues to accelerate, domestically mined uranium is poised for dynamic growth, playing an important role in the future of clean energy. This development positions Foremost to contribute to the critical minerals supply chain essential for the clean energy transition, with the company also maintaining a portfolio of lithium projects across 55,000+ acres in Manitoba and Quebec.

The exploration permit enables the company to advance its Turkey Lake project methodically, aligning with broader efforts to enhance North American uranium security and support nuclear power's role in achieving climate goals. This strategic move underscores the growing importance of domestic critical mineral exploration in meeting clean energy demands while reducing reliance on foreign sources.
