Vancouver, October 16, 2023 - Basin Uranium Corp.

(CSE: IGLD) ("Golden Independence") for Golden Independence to acquire up to a 90%-interest in the Wray Mesa uranium project in Utah, USA. Under the terms of the Option Agreement, Golden Independence will contribute cash, share and exploration expenditure consideration totaling over $4,700,000 CAD during the Option Agreement period.

"With Basin Uranium's focus firmly shifted towards it's Chord project in South Dakota, this agreement allows the project to advance while still providing the Company exposure to an exciting uranium district in Utah," commented Michael Blady, CEO of Basin Uranium. "We look forward to working with the Golden Independence team as the project operator under the initial earn-in agreement to advance the understanding of the project and better define the areas of historical mineralization. Given the significant appetite for advanced-stage uranium assets in safe jurisdictions combined with support from the US Government in advancing clean energy security, this allows both companies to benefit from this pivotal time in the global energy transition."

Under the terms of the Option Agreement between the Basin Uranium Corp. and Golden Independence Mining Corp. (CSE: IGLD), Golden Independence will have the right to acquire up to a 90%-interest in the project through staged cash, share and work commitments.
