Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 22, 2024) - Myriad Uranium Corp. (CSE: M) (OTCQB: MYRUF) (FSE: C3Q) ("Myriad" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it will be conducting a non-brokered private placement of up to 6,250,000 units (each, a "Unit") at a price of $0.40 per Unit (the "Financing") to raise gross proceeds of up to $2,500,000. Each Unit will consist of one common share of the Company (each, a "Share") and one-half of one Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase an additional Share at a price of $0.55 for a period of twenty-four (24) months from the date of issuance.

Securities issued under the Financing will be subject to a four month hold period in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws. The Company may pay finder's fees in connection with the Financing.

The Financing will be used to fund an expansion of the Copper Mountain Project's footprint over nearby prospects and areas of potential revealed by historical data and other proprietary information. Proceeds will also fund project-scale geophysics and other activities that will be supportive of our next phase of drilling.

Simon Clarke Appointed as Chair

Myriad also announces that Simon Clarke has been appointed as Chair of the Board of Directors of the Company, effective immediately. Mr. Clarke was elected as a director of the Company on September 19, 2024, at the Company's annual general meeting of shareholders.

Myriad's CEO Thomas Lamb commented: "We are building a team to match our ambition. Copper Mountain has the potential to be one of Wyoming's largest uranium projects and Simon Clarke has the experience and strategic vision to help us get there. Just what you want in a Chair. Naming him Chair also offers further benefits, since it strengthens the independence of our Board. On a personal level, I am delighted to be working with Simon again and believe we can repeat our collective and individual past successes with Myriad. I'm very pleased he's accepted our invitation to become Chair. I note that we will both be participating in the upcoming financing, alongside other members of management and several cornerstone investors."

Mr. Clarke commented. "I am proud to be stepping up to Chair of Myriad at a time where we have just finished a highly successful maiden drill program at Copper Mountain, which I believe has validated the historical drilling and other work undertaken on the project by Union Pacific and other major players from the sector, while also highlighting the large-scale potential across the wider project area. The quality of work and its execution is a testament to the team built by Tom Lamb and we are very well-positioned going forward. Recent global events and recent developments in the uranium sector position Myriad to benefit strongly from a renewed focus on the need for quality domestic uranium projects at a time when energy security is more critical than ever.

As Chair, I recognize and appreciate the value of shareholder alignment and am delighted to be an existing shareholder and to have the opportunity to invest further at this time alongside Tom Lamb and others. But most importantly, I am excited about the opportunity sitting before us as the historical exploration work that we are validating points to Copper Mountain's tremendous potential in the heart of Wyoming, just as the US begins what could be a nuclear renaissance that many believe can only be achieved with the help of safe and secure domestic uranium supply."

Mr. Clarke brings over 25 years' experience and relationships from building mining, energy, and energy technology companies. Mr. Clarke is currently CEO, President & Director of American Potash Corp. (a potash and lithium exploration / development company), a company currently re-branding as American Critical Minerals. He is also currently a Director and Chair of Myriad Uranium.

About Myriad Uranium Corp.

Copper Mountain saw extensive drilling and development by Union Pacific during the late 1970s including the development of a mine plan to fuel a planned fleet of California Edison reactors.
