The discovery was made in the first drill hole ever completed at Fox, a previously untested greenfield target located directly on the structural trend that hosts Orano&#8217;s Kiggavik uranium deposits.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>The Discovery<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Drill hole FOX26-001 intersected 2 main mineralized intervals; a 20 m zone from 173 to 193 m and a 30 m zone from 200 to 230 m where radiometric counts largely exceed 100 cps and include 10-20 cm intervals exceeding 300 cps and locally greater than 500 cps (<a href=\"https:\/\/api.newsfilecorp.com\/redirect\/24bxgF5x1A\">Figure 3<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/api.newsfilecorp.com\/redirect\/Mq3W1HMwqm\">Figure 4<\/a>). Sporadic elevated radioactivity occurs throughout the hole, from near surface to the current end of hole at 350 metres, indicating a shallow mineralized system of the style that has proven most amenable to discovery and delineation elsewhere in the district.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The mineralization is associated with a strongly altered quartz breccia stockwork and reactivation of that stockwork along the Andrew Lake Fault. Alteration throughout the hole is extensive and locally intense: strong clay alteration, limonite, sooty pyrite and hematite, including intervals of near-massive specular hematite (<a href=\"https:\/\/api.newsfilecorp.com\/redirect\/bgy3niaD1G\">Figure 5<\/a>). This combination of uranium mineralization, pervasive alteration and significant structural disruption in a single first hole, is the signature of a fertile basement-hosted uranium system and warrants immediate follow-up drilling.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;Fox is exactly the proof of concept we set out to deliver,&#8221; stated Rebecca Hunter, President and CEO of Geiger Energy. &#8220;We drilled one hole into a target that had never been tested and hit uranium mineralization, intense alteration and major structural disruption, the same ingredients that define the Kiggavik deposits along trend from us. Fox tells us two things: our targeting model works, and the fertility of the Andrew Lake corridor extends onto our ground. With 17 kilometres of that corridor on Geiger&#8217;s property and a series of untested gravity anomalies of the same character, Fox is not just one encouraging drill hole \u2014 it potentially opens a new exploration front across Aberdeen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Why Fox Matters: Directly on the Kiggavik Trend<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Fox lies on the Andrew Lake Fault, the key mineralized structural corridor associated with Orano&#8217;s Kiggavik-area deposits, which collectively host approximately 133 million pounds of uranium resources (<a href=\"https:\/\/api.newsfilecorp.com\/redirect\/3KbwphE7ew\">Figure 1<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/api.newsfilecorp.com\/redirect\/N3W51iNDPb\">Figure 2<\/a>). That corridor does not stop at Orano&#8217;s boundary: it extends approximately 17 kilometres across Geiger&#8217;s Aberdeen Project, where it hosts numerous untested gravity anomalies, of which Fox is only one. Fox itself comprises two conjoined gravity-low anomalies spanning approximately 1.3 kilometres, of which the first drill hole has tested only a fraction.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The geological and geophysical parallels to the Kiggavik system are direct. The deposits of the Kiggavik district are shallow, basement-hosted uranium systems controlled by fault reactivation and marked by intense clay alteration and hematite, which is the same structural setting, the same alteration assemblage and the same geophysical expression (a gravity low reflecting the altered, structurally disrupted rock mass) now confirmed at Fox. <a href=\"https:\/\/api.newsfilecorp.com\/redirect\/XEyR1CPGMQ\">Figure 2<\/a> shows the trend, defined by magnetics and structural interpretation, extending from the Kiggavik area onto Geiger&#8217;s ground and through the Fox target.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Proof of Concept and What It Unlocks<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Fox is the first of Geiger&#8217;s untested &#8220;blue-sky&#8221; targets to be drilled, and the first hole delivered a discovery. That result is a proof of concept: it demonstrates that Geiger&#8217;s target-generation model, gravity lows on reactivated structures along the Andrew Lake corridor, identifies real, mineralized uranium systems. It also demonstrates that the corridor is fertile well beyond the known Kiggavik deposits, materially upgrading the prospectivity of every analogous untested anomaly along the 17-kilometre trend on Geiger&#8217;s ground.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Geiger will prioritize follow-up drilling at Fox to evaluate the mineralized system within the broader 1.3-kilometre gravity anomaly, and will apply the validated targeting model systematically along the corridor to the remaining targets in 2026 and beyond.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/api.newsfilecorp.com\/redirect\/DOLMaUnBP3\">Figure 1<\/a>: Aberdeen Project map showing the Fox discovery, the Andrew Lake Fault Trend, and Orano&#8217;s Kiggavik-area deposits along strike.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/api.newsfilecorp.com\/redirect\/rpaKxFq2w3\">Figure 2<\/a>: The Andrew Lake Fault Trend over total-field magnetics, showing the structural corridor extending from the Kiggavik area across Geiger&#8217;s ground, the Fox target and additional untested anomalies along trend.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/api.newsfilecorp.com\/redirect\/VvyR1FYDMr\">Figure 3<\/a>: Core photograph of the strongest mineralized interval in drill hole FOX26-001, starting at approximately 173 metres depth.
