The Company announces the completion and results of its 2025 winter diamond drill program at the Kenora U Property, located approximately 30 kilometers east of Kenora, northwestern Ontario. The program was conducted in partnership with Critical One Energy Inc. (formerly, Madison Metals Inc.). The 2025 winter drill program, carried out from March 6 to March 28, included five NQ-sized diamond drill holes totaling 1,045 metres at the Richard Lake area. The program aimed to test the down-plunge and along-strike extensions of known uranium mineralization. Highlights from the campaign include: Drill Hole GNEM-25-004: Returned a key intercept of 1,440 ppm U over 0.66 m from 47.23 to 47.89 metres, targeting the eastern extent of mineralization. Drill Hole GNEM-25-002: Confirmed down-plunge continuity with 187 ppm U over 0.71 m from 172.66 to 173.37 metres. While the drilling produced a couple of interesting intercepts as per above, the Company's management and board have decided to now focus primarily on its US assets and projects going forward. There will be further disclosure on our plans in the US in an upcoming press release. About Great Northern Energy Metals Inc.

South Sudan's Minister of Mines to Showcase E&P Prospects at African Mining Week (AMW) 2025
Martin Gama Abucha, Minister of Mines of South Sudan, has joined the upcoming African Mining Week (AMW) conference as a speaker. Minister Abucha will take part in the Ministerial Forum, where he will share insight into South Sudan's policy frameworks, investment incentives and infrastructure plans aimed at unlocking the full potential of the country's mining sector. As South Sudan seeks to increase mining investments and drive projects forward, AMW provides an ideal platform for Minister Abucha to outline the country's commitment to enhancing cooperation with global public and private stakeholders to build a robust and competitive mining value chain. As the premier gathering for mining stakeholders in Africa, the event connects global financiers and project developers with African mining opportunities, facilitating collaboration and deal-signing. Insights shared by Minister Abucha will support future deals. African Mining Week serves as a premier platform for exploring the full spectrum of mining opportunities across Africa. The event is held alongside the African Energy Week: Invest in African Energies 2025 conference from October 1-3 in Cape Town. Sponsors, exhibitors and delegates can learn more by contacting sales@ Under Minister Abucha's leadership, South Sudan's Ministry of Mines has been accelerating geological mapping to identify exploration hotspots and reduce investment risk. In April 2025, the Ministry hosted a delegation from Qatar, including government officials and mining investors, to discuss opportunities in seismic studies, gold refining and the extraction of lead and critical minerals. The meeting follows Qatari firms such as United Gold investing across South Sudan to establish gold marketing stations. The stations aim to formalize artisanal mining by integrating informal production into the formal economy. Collaborations are also underway with South Africa to leverage the country's mining expertise, investment portfolio and technology to better understand South Sudan's mineral landscape. Other partnerships include with Russia's ROSGEO, the U.S.-based REE-Magnesium and Canada's CVMR to map the country's mineral resources and better understand the geology. In November 2024, South Sudan's national oil company Nilepet announced the discovery of critical minerals following a geological survey conducted in the first half of 2024 and revealed plans to establish a national mining company to support sector growth. Amid these developments, AMW 2025 offers a timely opportunity for Minister Abucha to engage with global geoscience firms, mining investors and African stakeholders to forge new partnerships and strengthen existing collaborations. AMW 2025 panel discussions and project showcases will position South Sudan as an emerging mining destination on the continent. Distributed by APO Group on behalf of Energy Capital&Power.

Media Chaplaincy NZ Launches Aotearoa Media Wellbeing Survey To Mark 10-Year Anniversary
Press Release – Media Chaplaincy New Zealand The survey, which seeks to better understand the experiences of media professionals across the country, asks participants about work pressures, job satisfaction, their workplace culture & support structures, and how they maintain work-life balance & … Independent not-for-profit Media Chaplaincy NZ is today launching its inaugural Aotearoa Media Wellbeing (AMW) Survey, as it celebrates a decade of offering free and confidential support to New Zealand's media industry. The survey, which seeks to better understand the experiences of media professionals across the country, asks participants about work pressures, job satisfaction, their workplace culture & support structures, and how they maintain work-life balance & cope with career challenges. The AMW Survey is now live and can be accessed here. The results of Media Chaplaincy's AMW Survey will provide a much-needed snapshot of the state of the industry following several years of significant change that has included the closure of media companies, hundreds of lost jobs, and rapid transformation as organisations pivot to meet audiences where they are. Malorie Carey, interim General Manager of Media Chaplaincy, says it's hoped the AMW survey will provide a blueprint to media chaplains and media organisations alike for how to best offer support to all those in the industry. 'We hear a lot anecdotally from those we meet about what they love about working in media, what they find difficult about it, and the types of support they're getting – or not getting – amidst it all,' says Carey. 'The Aotearoa Media Wellbeing Survey is an effort to put some solid data around some of those stories – to get a sense of what's working as intended, where the greatest needs are, and how we can best support our media industry to be vibrant, healthy and flourishing.' Lead Chaplain Rev Frank Ritchie, who founded Media Chaplaincy in 2015, says those working in media have made it clear over the last decade that while they have passion and drive for the work they do, the industry has become an increasingly challenging place to be. 'The Aotearoa Media Wellbeing Survey gives us a chance to peek under the hood at the wellbeing of the entire sector, to get a sense of what is and isn't working, and help shape initiatives that support a healthy and sustainable industry,' says Rev Ritchie. 'Our team of chaplains has provided a listening ear and much-needed support to thousands of people working in New Zealand's media over the last 10 years. Each year, the number of requests for our services has increased – and a couple of years ago, we expanded our team to better deal with the level of need we were experiencing. 'It's heartening that media professionals are reaching out for help – and that Media Chaplaincy has become a place for them to turn to – but ultimately, the increase in demand may indicate that all is not well in the industry.' Rev Ritchie says it's fitting that Media Chaplaincy releases the AMW Survey on its 10-year anniversary, given it was founded on the belief that the wellbeing of the people within New Zealand's media is central to the good of what gets produced and consumed. 'In the fast-paced and changing nature of the modern media environment, achieving balance and a sense of wellbeing can be difficult. For this reason, we've always sought to provide confidential support and encouragement to all media personnel at no cost,' Rev Ritchie says. Media Chaplaincy is run by people with a connection to, and a love for, the media landscape, Rev Ritchie says. 'Our chaplains are trained in chaplaincy and have experience working in the media. We're people who understand the pressures of the industry and have a desire to see those within it thrive.' The Aotearoa Media Wellbeing Survey will run until next month, with the results released publicly thereafter. All those who take part in the AMW Survey go in the draw to win one of five $100 Prezzy gift cards.
