VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mustang Energy Corp. (CSE: MEC, OTC:MECPF, FRA:92T) (the "Company” or "Mustang”) is pleased to announce it has engaged Resource Potentials Ltd. ("Resource Potentials”), an arm's length geophysical consulting firm based out of Perth, Australia, to conduct detailed reprocessing, analysis, interpretation, and targeting on the Company's uranium projects located in the Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan.
The Company recently completed a comprehensive historical compilation of previous exploration work conducted on and around its properties, including several magnetic and electromagnetic ("EM”) geophysical datasets and models.
The compiled datasets will be merged, processed, re-imaged, and reviewed before being integrated with additional exploration data to identify anomalies of interest. Magnetic anomalies and models will play a crucial role in determining the depths to the basin unconformity, a key structural feature associated with uranium deposits. EM conductors will also be analyzed in detail to target conductive anomalies near the unconformity, which could indicate graphitic shears which are a key reducing fluid pathway for high-grade uranium deposits.
The results from Resource Potentials' reprocessing and analysis will provide critical insights for refining exploration targets and identifying areas for further investigation on these newly acquired properties. Mustang's team will work closely with Resource Potentials to prioritize and develop drill targets aimed at discovering potentially high-grade uranium mineralization.
Mustang's CEO, Nicholas Luksha, stated: "Our portfolio includes an extensive collection of recent and historical geophysical survey data, which serves as a critical resource for advancing our projects. By strategically utilizing publicly available data, we can refine existing exploration targets, uncover new opportunities, and identify areas where further work is needed. This approach allows us to enhance our understanding of the mineral potential within our properties while maintaining a cost-effective and efficient exploration strategy."

About the Projects
Figure 1: Mustang's Uranium Projects in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan
Yellowstone Project
The 100% owned Yellowstone Project consists of 7 adjoining claims with a total area of 21,820 hectares situated approximately 16 kilometres from the past producing Cluff Lake Mine in the Western Athabasca Basin. 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 kilometre in diameter, which exposed basement rock that underlies the Athabasca Basin sandstone formations and hosts high grade uranium mineralization including the Cluff Lake Mine. Multiple known conductors transect the property that have never been drill tested.
Dutton Project
The 100% owned Dutton Project spans 9,667 hectares over three adjoining claims in the Southern Athabasca Basin. The property is west of the Cable Bay Shear Zone within the Mudjatik Domain, which is known to host uranium anomalies in the basement rock. Approximately 20 kilometers to the east is the Virgin River Shear Zone, which hosts the Dufferin Lake zone and Centennial Deposit. The project remains underexplored for its uranium potential, with no targets drill-tested to date. Notably, numerous diabase dykes exhibiting elevated radioactivity are spatially associated with EM conductors. These features are analogous to uranium-bearing dykes identified in the Abraham Bay and Cable Bay areas, highlighting the project's promising exploration potential.
*The Company considers greater than 1.0% U3O8 as high-grade.

Adjacent Property Disclaimer:
This news release includes references with respect to the uranium-bearing dykes identified in Abraham Bay and Cable Bay areas and the high grade uranium mineralization at the Cluff Lake Mine (collectively, the "Adjacent Properties”), which are located near the Dutton Project and the Yellowstone Project, respectively. The Company advises that, notwithstanding their proximity of location, discoveries of minerals on the Adjacent Properties and any promising results thereof are not necessarily indicative of the mineralization of, or located on the Dutton Lake Project or the Yellowstone Project, or the Company's ability to commercially exploit the Dutton Lake Project or Yellowstone Project, or to locate any commercially exploitable deposits therefrom. The Company cautions investors on relying on this information as the Company has not confirmed the accuracy or reliability of the information.
