NEW EARTH RESOURCES APPLAUDS U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY NUCLEAR LIFECYCLE INNOVATION CAMPUS INITIATIVE

New Earth Resources Corp. has acknowledged and applauded the recent announcement by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) regarding the issuance of a request for information (RFI) inviting U.S. states to express interest in hosting nuclear life cycle innovation campuses.

According to the DOE, the RFI represents an initial step toward the potential establishment of voluntary federal-state partnerships intended to modernize the full nuclear fuel cycle, support advanced nuclear energy deployment and strengthen United States leadership in nuclear energy. The DOE has stated that the proposed innovation campuses could support activities across the nuclear fuel life cycle, including fuel fabrication, enrichment, reprocessing of used nuclear fuel and waste disposition. Depending on state priorities and regional capabilities, the campuses could also support advanced reactor deployment, power generation, advanced manufacturing and co-located infrastructure.

The DOE has indicated that the RFI is intended to invite states to provide statements of interest and feedback regarding the structure of the innovation campuses, including state priorities such as work force development, infrastructure investment, economic diversification and technology leadership, as well as potential funding structures, risk-sharing approaches, incentives and federal partnerships. Responses to the RFI are requested by April 1, 2026.

"The DOE has described this RFI as an information-gathering step focused on understanding state interest and regional priorities related to the nuclear fuel cycle and advanced nuclear energy," said Lawrence Hay, chief executive officer of New Earth Resources. "We view announcements of this nature as an encouraging part of the broader policy framework shaping long-term discussions around nuclear energy infrastructure and supply chains."

New Earth is not a participant in the DOE RFI process and has not submitted, nor does it currently intend to submit, a response to the RFI. The company is not affiliated with the DOE initiative and makes no representations regarding the potential outcomes of the RFI or any future programs that may result.

The company will continue to monitor public policy and regulatory developments relevant to the nuclear energy and critical materials sectors as part of its continuing corporate review process.
