VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mustang Energy Corp. (CSE: MEC, OTC:MECPF, FRA:92T) (the "Company" or "Mustang") is pleased to announce it has received exploration permits from the Saskatchewan Government, allowing for ground-based exploration activities at the Spur Project (the "Project") south of the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan.
The permit includes Crown Land Work Authorization, Aquatic Habitat Protection Permit, Forest Product Permit and Temporary Work Camp Permit. This authorizes Mustang to carry out mineral exploration activities such as trail construction, line-cutting, ground geophysical surveys, and diamond drilling. The approved permits are valid until April 30, 2028.
As part of the permit conditions, the Company will continue to engage with local communities to address any ongoing concerns and ensure sustainable project implementation. Consultation and environmental stewardship remain a priority, with specific measures to minimize disturbance and support reclamation efforts.
About the Spur Project
The Project comprises ten claims covering 23,680 hectares. It is located just south of the Athabasca Basin in northern Saskatchewan, a region globally renowned for its high-grade uranium deposits. The property is approximately 40 kilometers southeast of Cameco's Key Lake Mill Operation and 20 kilometers southwest of Skyharbour Resources/Terra Clean Energy's Fraser Lakes Zone B deposit. The Project's geological setting combines Proterozoic basement rocks of the Wollaston Group and uraniferous pegmatites1, presenting potential for uranium, thorium and rare earth element (REE) exploration. The Project offers lower cost exploration due to the absence of Athabasca Sandstone cover. Adjacent properties host high-grade surface grab samples including the Pipe Lake Showing with up to 8.0% U3O8 (sample # R69-10)2 within a hornblende-rich pegmatite 2.5 km northeast of the Project boundary. The Red October Showing, east of the project boundary, shows grab sample assays of up to 1.93% U (sample # JBELR063)3 within syenite, and an outcrop chip sample through semipelitic gneiss showing 1.34% U (sample # AGELR008)3 over 1 meter.
