Laramide Granted Mineral Development Licence for Westmoreland Uranium Project
TORONTO, July 17, 2025 /CNW/ - Laramide Resources Ltd. ("Laramide" or the "Company") (TSX: LAM) (ASX: LAM) (OTCQX: LMRXF) is pleased to announce that its 100%-owned Australian subsidiary, Tackle Resources Pty Ltd ("Tackle"), has received approval of a Mineral Development Licence ("MDL") for the Westmoreland Uranium Project in Queensland, Australia. The approval of the MDL provides a strong foundation for Laramide to advance project permitting and to undertake mining feasibility studies, metallurgical testing and marketing, as well as environmental, engineering and design studies required to support a future Mining Lease ("ML") application. This approval represents a key regulatory milestone and a formal recognition by the Queensland Government that the Westmoreland Project can be evaluated for its development potential. The MDL was granted following the registration of an Indigenous Land Use Agreement (ILUA) with the Gangalidda & Garawa Native Title Aboriginal Corporation (GGNTAC), announced November 29, 2022 1 under which all parties consented to the MDL's issuance. Marc Henderson, President and CEO of Laramide, commented: "The grant of the MDL is a significant milestone for the Westmoreland Project. It provides regulatory confirmation that the Project hosts a defined and economically significant resource capable of supporting long-term development. Furthermore, it provides the company with a security of tenure that allows us to continue with advanced mining studies which in turn maintains our commitment to significant investment in regional Northwest Queensland. "With the MDL now in hand, Laramide is excited for the opportunity to expedite further evaluation of the asset; we believe this asset can play a material role in providing security of supply for western nuclear utilities as they confront the now widely acknowledged structural supply deficit of uranium that extends well into the 2030's." Permitting and a formal Mining Lease application are the next critical steps in the advancement of Westmoreland. The Queensland Government's current stated policy is that it will not grant a mining lease for the purpose of mining uranium, however an administrative change in policy by the Government could direct the Mines Department of Queensland to allow an ML application to be accepted for a primary uranium mine. The current policy was initiated by the previous Labor government, which held power for almost a decade before the last election in October 2024 when Queensland elected a Liberal National ("LNP") majority government. The approved MDL area includes all of Westmoreland's defined uranium deposits, Redtree, Huarabagoo, Junnagunna and Long Pocket. Three of the deposits (Redtree, Huarabagoo, Junnagunna) were used for a 2016 economic analysis ("Scoping Study") 2, which while now not current under NI 43-101, had provided the foundation for the MDL application. The MDL area incorporates conceptual locations for key project infrastructure. The MDL enables Laramide to initiate a range of advanced work programs, including feasibility-level engineering, environmental baseline assessments, geotechnical and site layout planning.

Laramide's Churchrock Uranium Project and La Jara Mesa Uranium Project Designated for FAST-41 Covered Project Status
TORONTO, June 2, 2025 /CNW/ - Laramide Resources Ltd. ("Laramide" or the "Company") (TSX: LAM) (ASX: LAM) (OTCQX: LMRXF) is pleased to announce that two of its advanced-stage uranium development projects in the United States, Crownpoint-Churchrock (New Mexico) and La Jara Mesa (New Mexico), have been designated FAST-41 Covered Projects by the Federal Permitting Improvement Steering Council (Permitting Council). This designation, part of the federal infrastructure permitting initiative established under Title 41 of the Fixing America's Surface Transportation ("FAST-41") Act, reflects the projects' strategic importance and supports an efficient, transparent federal review process. Notably, the La Jara Mesa Project has been upgraded from a FAST-41 Transparency Project to a fully Covered Project, aligning its permitting status with Crownpoint-Churchrock and streamlining its path forward under U.S. federal oversight. Marc Henderson, President and CEO of Laramide Resources Ltd., said: "We commend the Trump administration for the Executive Order announced on May 23, supporting the acceleration of nuclear energy development in the United States. As momentum builds around a new era for nuclear power, it is important to recognize that uranium is the fundamental starting point of the entire fuel cycle. "Our Crownpoint-Churchrock project is one of the largest undeveloped uranium deposits in the U.S. and has the potential to play a central role in securing a domestic supply of this critical mineral. The inclusion of our projects under FAST-41 is a meaningful step, but continued policy support will be essential to overcome the longstanding regulatory and permitting challenges that have constrained U.S. uranium production. We are encouraged by this progress and proud to be part of a national effort to rebuild the nuclear fuel cycle from the ground up." About Crownpoint-Churchrock The Crownpoint-Churchrock Uranium Project is Laramide Resources' flagship U.S. asset and one of the largest undeveloped uranium resources in the United States. Located in McKinley County, New Mexico, the project comprises two in-situ recovery ("ISR")-amenable uranium deposits, Crownpoint and Churchrock, collectively covered under a U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ("NRC") license, and the renewal application for this is currently in process. About La Jara Mesa The La Jara Mesa Uranium Project is a significant development-stage asset owned by Laramide Resources Ltd., situated in the prolific Grants Mineral Belt of Cibola County, New Mexico. This sandstone-hosted uranium deposit lies approximately 10 miles northeast of the town of Grants, within the Mount Taylor Ranger District of the Cibola National Forest. Laramide has been actively progressing through the permitting process. The U.S. Forest Service is preparing an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to assess the development of an underground uranium mine and associated surface facilities.
