Global Atomic Corp. Positive Initial Report for Dasa Project 2021/2022 Drill Program

The program at Dasa was designed to follow up on previously discovered uranium mineralization proximal to Zone 3 of the current Feasibility Study Phase I Mine Plan and has succeeded in extending Zone 3 with additional high-grade mineralization (see Figure 1). Approximately 6,000 meters have been drilled to date on 25-meter spacings between drill holes to support the addition of mineral reserves and an updated mine plan.

This extension to Zone 3 is not included in Dasa's Reserve calculations as it was an Inferred mineral resource (see Figure 2), based on wider-spaced drilling completed during previous drill campaigns.

Infill and step-out drilling completed since September has exceeded expectations and outlined continuous mineralization over a strike length of 300 meters and a width of 80 meters. This Zone 3 extension will be applied to update the current Phase I Mine Plan and is expected to substantially reduce the amount of underground development, lower capital and operating expenses and extend the life of the Phase 1 Mine Plan.

Drilling is currently continuing in the northeast direction from Zone 3 to determine the potential for up-dip extentions. The next target of the 2021/2022 Dasa drilling program will be in-fill drilling between Zones 2A, 2B and 3 with the goal of converting this significant Inferred resource to the Measured and Indicated resource categories.

The equivalent U3O8 indicated below were derived using a Gamma Probe. Core samples are being prepared and will be shipped to ALS Geochemistry - North Vancouver, Canada for chemical assaying as per usual protocols.

George Flach, VP Exploration stated, "We are very encouraged with the results of our drill program. Gamma probes show the same high grade eU₃0₈ values that define the Dasa Deposit. We are approximately 40% through this 15,000-meter drill program and look forward to incorporating assay results into an updated mineral reserve and mine plan later this year."
