Kelowna, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 10, 2025) - F3 Uranium Corp (TSXV: FUU) (OTCQB: FUUFF) ("F3" or "the Company") is pleased to announce initial scintillometer results from its ongoing drill program on the Tetra Zone on the Broach Property, including a highly radioactive intercept in PLN25-219A which tested for mineralization in the down plunge direction of PLN25-217 (see NR August 5, 2025) and intersected mineralization over a total of 29.5m, 27.5m of which is continuous and includes 2.30m of >10,000 cps between 396.70m and 407.30m.
Sam Hartmann, Vice President Exploration, commented:
"This fall drill program is intended to confirm the orientation of the shears hosting the Tetra Zone. These initial drill intercepts validate a plunge direction of the uranium mineralization to the northwest, with PLN25-219A successfully intercepting 15m down-plunge from PLN25-217. In terms of radioactivity, this is the strongest result to date at Tetra — very strong radioactivity up to 30,500 cps was hosted in the same altered and sheared gneissic units, exhibiting the usual Tetra Zone alteration features including strong clay, hematite, sericite and bleaching (Image 3). Graphite and sulphides remain totally absent in this system, correlating with the very weak conductive response from ground EM surveys. We will continue drilling this system in both directions — up-plunge and down-plunge. PLN25-218 experienced excessive dip and azimuth deviation and did not intersect the target zone. We are also providing a long-section along the plunge direction, to help visualize these results, please see (Images 2&3) along with the plan map."

The natural gamma radiation detected in the drill core, as detailed in this news release, was measured in counts per second (cps) using a handheld Radiation Solutions RS-125 spectrometer which has been calibrated by Radiation Solutions Inc. The Company designates readings exceeding 300 cps on the handheld spectrometer (occasionally referred to as a scintillometer in industry terminology; this stems from historical naming conventions and the shared functionality of detecting gamma radiation between a spectrometer and a scintillometer)—as "anomalous", readings above 10,000 cps as "highly radioactive", and readings surpassing 65,535 cps as "off-scale". However, readers are cautioned that spectrometer or scintillometer measurements often do not directly or consistently correlate with the uranium grades of the rock samples and should be regarded solely as a preliminary indicator of the presence of radioactive materials.
Samples from the drill core are split into half sections on site. Where possible, samples are standardized at 0.5m down-hole intervals. One-half of the split sample is sent to SRC Geoanalytical Laboratories (an SCC ISO/IEC 17025: 2005 Accredited Facility) in Saskatoon, SK while the other half remains on site for reference. Analysis includes a 63 element suite including boron by ICP-OES, uranium by ICP-MS and gold analysis by ICP-OES and/or AAS.
The Company considers uranium mineralization with assay results of greater than 1.0 weight % U3O8 as "high grade" and results greater than 20.0 weight % U3O8 as "ultra-high grade".
All depth measurements reported are down-hole and true thicknesses are yet to be determined.
