Previously Unreported Interval in Historical Hole SC-07-06B returns 15.5 m at 0.049% U₃O₈

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 5, 2026) - Homeland Uranium Corp. (TSXV: HLU) (OTCQB: HLUCF) (FSE: D3U) ("Homeland" or the "Company") is pleased to announce results from a recent resampling program designed to verify selected historical assay intervals and a previously unreported interval from historical hole SC-07-06B from the Company's Cross Bones Uranium Project ("Cross Bones" or the "Project") in northwestern Colorado.

The confirmation program resampled drill core from BlueRock Resources' ("BlueRock") 2006-07 exploration program on the Cross Bones Property. BlueRock's historical hole SC-07-06B does not have any historical assay data in the BlueRock dataset^t acquired by the Company or in any publicly available disclosure identified on SEDARplus.ca. Accordingly, Homeland considers the assay results from SC-07-06B in this news release to represent new assay data, rather than confirmation or check sampling of a historical assay result.

Highlights

• Historical hole SC-07-06B returned 15.5 m (50.9 ft) of near surface uranium-vanadium mineralization averaging 0.049% U₃O₈ and 0.135% V₂O₅from 14.0 to 29.5 m (45.9 to 96.8 ft).

• Check sampling of selected historical drill core intervals confirms the presence and concentrations of uranium and vanadium mineralization encountered by Bluerock in 2006-07.

• Other Homeland resampling comparisons to BlueRock's historical results returned:

  • 0.066% U₃O₈ over 1.1 m in hole SC-06-01B from 160.0 to 161.1 m (524.9 to 528.5 ft) compared to historical results^t of 0.047% U₃O₈ over 1.0 m from 160.1 to 161.1 m (525.1 to 528.5 ft)

  • 0.035% U₃O₈ over 1.7 m in hole SC-06-03 from 74.8 to 76.5 m (245.4 to 251.0 ft) compared to historical results^t of 0.032% U₃O₈ over 1.8 m from 75.0 to 76.8 m (246.0 to 251.9 ft)

  • 0.034% U₃O₈ over 4.7 m in hole SC-06-02 from 18.6 to 23.3 m (61.0 to 76.4 ft) compared to historical results ^t of 0.034% U₃O₈ over 4.8 m from 18.6 to 23.5 m (61.1 to 77.0 ft)

Roger Lemaitre, President and CEO of Homeland Uranium, commented: "The close agreement between the historical BlueRock assay results and our 2026 re-sampling program has bolstered our confidence of the Cross Bones Project. Such agreement is particularly validating as the Company located BlueRock's historical drill core and completed re-logging and selected samples for assaying prior to locating, purchasing, and reviewing the historical BlueRock dataset. I am especially encouraged by emerging potential of Cross Bones exhibited by the 15.5 m - 50.9 ft length of uranium mineralization confirmed by our sampling of historical hole SC-07-06B."

Verification of Historical Results

As part of its ongoing technical review, Homeland selected mineralized intervals for resampling and verification from Bluerock's 2006 drill core that was found on a nearby private property in October, 2025. Samples were selected from historically sampled areas in combination with Homeland's scanning of the drill core for radioactivity using a CT007-M handheld instrument. The 2025-2026 resampling program returned uranium and vanadium results that are broadly consistent with corresponding or adjacent assay intervals obtained by Bluerock ^t (Table 1 and Figure 1). The results provide additional confidence in the historical geological and assay database being incorporated into Homeland's ongoing exploration planning process.

Hole SC-07-06B has no historical assay data in the BlueRock dataset nor was found in BlueRock's news disclosure on SEDARplus.com. Consequently, Homeland considers this result to be new data, not a check of a historical result.

Homeland acquired the historical BlueRock database^t as part of its acquisition and compilation of Cross Bones historical exploration data (see the Company's news release dated February 26, 2026 found on the Homeland website at https://homeland-uranium.com/news-releases/2026/homeland-acquires-historical-data-for-cross-bones-uranium-pr2026-02-26-010502 and on the Company's profile at SEDARplus.ca). The database includes drill hole information, surface sampling, radiometric surveys, and downhole gamma and resistivity data.

The comparison of historical and 2026 Homeland results is summarized below in Table 1:

Table 1: Comparison of 2006 Bluerock drilling/assay sampling and 2025-2026 Homeland resampling results.

The results demonstrate particularly strong agreement in drill holes SC-06-03 and SC-06-03A, where the HLU resampling returned similar uranium and vanadium grades over the similar intervals as the historical Bluerock results, supporting the use of selected historical Bluerock assay data in Homeland's geological interpretation and drill targeting. The Company's check assays from SC-06-02 reproduced the historical uranium and vanadium grades almost exactly as determined by BlueRock, with only a minor difference in the sampled interval length.

Homeland has acquired a previous historical dataset comprised of surface mapping and radiometrics and 94 reverse circulation drill holes ("RCD") with lithology, down-hole radiometrics and resistivity readings completed between 1977 and 1980 by Ashland Minerals and Anschultz on the Cross Bones Project (see the Company's news release dated December 10, 2024 found on the Homeland website at https://homeland-uranium.com/news-releases/2024/valleyview-acquires-key-coyote-basin-red-wash-exploration-dataset and on the Company's profile at SEDARplus.ca). Due to the age of these drill holes, the RCD cuttings have not been found and the Company is unable to directly verify historical assay data from the Ashland Minerals and Anschultz holes. The Company intends to twin some of these holes in its planned and fully permitted 30-hole drill program. Phase I of this program will be comprised of 4-6 drill holes to testing selected historical mineralized intervals and evaluating the continuity of uranium mineralization.

Sampling and QA/QC

During the Cross Bones 2025-2026 resampling program, samples of historical drill core were taken by Homeland at intervals of anomalous radioactivity determined by counts per second ("cps") values and previously reported uranium-bearing intervals reported by BlueRock in these historical drillholes. Resampling of drill core was either halved or quartered based on available core and ranged from 0.5 ft (~0.15 m) to 7.0 ft (~~2.13 m), dependent on core recovery. Note that, due to the unknown transport history of the BlueRock drill core since 2006, core may have shifted relative to drilling markers and preserved sample tags. Care was taken by field personnel to best represent depths based on available data. Samples were sent to SGS Laboratories in Lakefield, Ontario. Samples were shipped in secure containment for preparation, processing and multi-element analysis by Sodium Peroxide Fusion and Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (Na2O2; ICP-OES). Blanks, standard reference materials, and repeats are inserted into the sample stream at regular intervals by Homeland and the SGS in accordance with each's respective quality assurance/quality control procedures. SGS Laboratories in Lakefield, Ontario. SGS Lab is certified ISO 17043: General requirements for proficiency testing. All SGS laboratories are required to participate in SGS's internal Proficiency Testing ("PT") program: Laboratory Quality Systems International ("LQSi") program, the largest PT program in the mining world. The SGS LQSi program currently involves over 100 laboratories on a regular basis, both SGS and non-SGS participants. SGS LQSi holds accreditation to the conformity assessment standard ISO 17043: General requirements for proficiency testing.

The Company has reviewed the BlueRock database for the analytical processes used by the historical operator. Natural gamma data collected is recorded as collected using a Natural Gamma CPS measured using Multi-Parameter E-Log Neutron Logging Tool, collected by Century Geophysical Corp. in 2006. Bluerock samples were reported to have been sent to Acme Analytical Laboratories Ltd. in Vancouver, British Columbia and were analyzed using Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-AES) using a four-acid near-total digestion (HCLO4:HNO3:HCL:HF). The Company has not been able to verify the QA/QC processes used by BlueRock. The historical geochemical data presented in this release were obtained from a database acquired by the previous operator of the Property. The Company has undertaken verification of the historical data through this resampling program and, given the agreement between the historical and recent dataset, considers the data suitable for the purposes for which they are being used. Both datasets are considered valid and can be used by the Company in future disclosures and geological analysis.
