VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mustang Energy Corp. (CSE: MEC, OTC:MECPF, FRA:92T) (the "Company" or "Mustang") is pleased to announce that it has received results from a helicopter-borne Mobile MagnetoTellurics ("MobileMT") survey conducted at its wholly owned Yellowstone Project, located in the western Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan.
The survey was completed by Expert Geophysics of Aurora, Ontario, covering 373 line-kilometres at a 400-metre line spacing. Magnetic and Very Low Frequency ("VLF") data were collected over the northeastern portion of the claim block, targeting areas not previously investigated using deep-penetrating electromagnetic ("EM") methods. The MobileMT system is designed to detect conductors at depths greater than 1,000 metres, offering a high-resolution view of potential basement-hosted structures favorable for uranium mineralization.
Survey Results
Analysis of the MobileMT data has outlined multiple exploration targets, characterized by strong, deep conductive anomalies coinciding with interpreted structural features, suggesting the potential for uranium hosting hydrothermal or structural zones related to unconformity type uranium deposits. These conductive zones are interpreted as being independent from the ring structures of the Carswell impact crater, suggesting a basement origin. Several of the anomalies are coincident with structurally complex corridors, possibly linked to NW-SE trending faults, and are associated with magnetic low trends-features often considered important for unconformity-type uranium systems. The VLF data reveals near-surface linear features interpreted as fault structures. These lineaments frequently align with breaks or offsets in the conductivity and magnetic datasets, as well as subtle radiometric U and Th radiometric anomalies suggesting fluid circulation from depth, adding a valuable structural layer for prioritizing targets. Geophysical surveys are not definitive, and the results are still at an early stage of interpretation, with no guarantee of a mineral discovery.

The recent MobileMT survey has successfully infilled a portion of the Yellowstone Project which had not previously seen deep penetrating electromagnetics testing, giving complete geophysical coverage across the property. The Company now has a robust dataset of airborne EM surveys, as well as magnetic and radiometric datasets, providing a comprehensive understanding of both shallow and deep-seated structures. This multi-layered geophysical framework enhances the ability to vector toward high-priority uranium targets with increased confidence. The Company is actively integrating these results with historical data to refine and prioritize future drill targets.
About the MobileMT System
Mobile Magnetic Tellurics (MobileMT) is the latest innovation in airborne electromagnetics and one of the most advanced generation of airborne AFMAG technologies. The MobileMT technology utilizes naturally occurring electromagnetic (EM) fields in the frequency range of 25 - 20,000 Hz. Thunderstorms release energy, some of which is converted into EM fields that propagate through the ionosphere-Earth interspace. The EM fields and currents induced by these EM fields in the subsurface are used in MobileMT to identify variations in subsurface electrical resistivity.
The MobileMT technology is the product of extensive experience in developing equipment and signal/data processing algorithms for natural EM fields measurement. MobileMT combines the latest advances in electronics, airborne system design, and sophisticated signal processing techniques. The advanced noise processing technique of both electronic and signal processing levels ensures high data quality even for low natural EM fields.
The MobileMT survey system can effectively identify deep seated structures that may be associated with feeder fault systems to uranium mineralization, and is capable of detecting both the basement-hosted electromagnetic conductors and sandstone-hosted zones of anomalous resistivity commonly associated with Athabasca Basin uranium deposits.
MobileMT is capable of resolving resistivity contrasts to depths exceeding 1000 metres, and notably, previous MobileMT surveys have successfully identified basement conductors and alteration zones in the sandstone formations of prominent uranium deposits across the Athabasca Basin.
About the Yellowstone Project
The 100% owned Yellowstone Project is situated approximately 16 kilometres from the past producing Cluff Lake Mine in the Western Athabasca Basin. The project consists of seven adjoining claims totaling 21,820 hectares. The property surrounds the exterior of the Carswell Impact Structure and is adjacent to Fission Uranium's West Cluff Project. The Carswell Impact Structure is thought to be related to a meteorite impact measuring ~18 km in diameter, which exposed basement rock that underlies the Athabasca Basin sandstone formations and hosts high grade uranium mineralization including the Cluff Lake Uranium Mine. The Yellowstone Project is transected by multiple conductors which are yet untested.
