NORDX METALS MOVES TO EXPAND GROUND AROUND NORR DOTTERN AS NEW RADON CUP ANOMALIES HIGHLIGHT GREATER PROSPECTIVITY

Nordx Metals Corp. has applied for a new 34,459-hectare exploration licence to extend its Norr Dottern uranium project in northern Sweden to the north and south, after radon-cup surveys at Norr Dottern and its Flistjarn project confirmed historical targets and outlined new anomalies. The company has also received assay results for 140 samples of resampled historical core from the Langtrask prospect at Norr Dottern.

Highlights:

• Ground expansion: application filed for Norr Dottern 102 (34,459 ha), contiguous to the existing Norr Dottern 101 licence to the north and south, covering similar lithology along the known fertile structures of the Arvidsjaur-Arjeplog uranium province;
• High-grade core confirmed: 4.4 metres at 1,305 parts per million U3O8 (triuranium octoxide) from 77.3 m in hole LAT84004 (including one m at 2,034 ppm U3O8) and 6.2 m at 471 ppm U3O8 from 82.3 m in hole LAT84006 (including 1.6 m at 1,027 ppm U3O8);
• Broad mineralized interval: 53 m at 131 ppm U3O8 from 29 m in hole LAT84011 (individual samples 25 to 301 ppm U3O8); Langtrask remains open in all directions;
• New radon targets: radon-cup surveys at both projects confirmed the historical targets and identified new anomalies, consistent with Nordx's July/August, 2026, rock-chip results (see Nordx's news release dated Sept. 22, 2026) and indicating structurally controlled mineralization.

Jon Franklin, president and director of Nordx commented: "Rock chips, core relogging, boulder sampling and now radon are all pointing the same way: Norr Dottern has district-scale potential and historical work tested only part of a larger system. The radon results back up what we found at surface this summer and bring us a step closer to drill testing new targets at both Flistjarn and Norr Dottern. That's why we have moved to extend our ground along the main structures running from known mineralization within the Arvidsjaur-Arjeplog uranium province."

Norr Dottern 102 licence application

Norr Dottern 102 covers 34,459 hectares contiguous to Norr Dottern 101 to the north and south, with similar lithology along the same north-northeast-striking structural trend within the Arvidsjaur-Arjeplog uranium province. It borders the Langtrask mineralization and is adjacent to the historically documented Ravaberget uranium mineralization on the property immediately to the south, held 100 per cent by Australian Securities Exchange-listed Basin Energy Ltd. Mineralization on adjacent or nearby properties is not necessarily indicative of mineralization on the company's property.

Langtrask historical core: mineralization confirmed and open

ALS Global assayed 140 samples from three historical Langtrask drill holes (LAT84004, LAT84006 and LAT84011) using the multielement ME-MS61 method (Table 1). The samples retested historically assayed intervals but also covered intervals never previously assayed. Sixty-seven samples returned more than 100 ppm U3O8 and up to 2,034 ppm U3O8. Mineralization remains open in all directions. The new assays confirm the historical mineralized intervals but average 24 per cent lower than the historical values (see "Sampling, analytical method and quality control" below).

Best intercepts:

• LAT84004: 4.4 m at 1,305 ppm U3O8 (from 77.3 m), including one m at 2,034 ppm U3O8 (from 79.3 m);
• LAT84006: 6.2 m at 471 ppm U3O8 (from 82.3 m), including 1.6 m at 1,027 ppm U3O8 (from 82.3 m);
• LAT84004: three m at 394 ppm U3O8 (from 63 m);
• LAT84011: 53 m at 131 ppm U3O8 (from 29 m).

Flistjarn radon-cup survey

A total of 175 radon cups were deployed on an approximate 100-by-50-metre grid. Anomalous values follow a northwest-striking overthrust and younger northeast-striking faults, indicating structurally controlled mineralization consistent with mineralization documented in outcrop during Nordx's July/August, 2026, rock-chip program (see Nordx news release dated Sept. 22, 2026). Soil at all 175 stations was damp (148) or wet (27), which the radon service provider advises can reduce soil permeability to radon gas, suggesting values should be considered minimums relative to dry conditions.

Norr Dottern radon-cup survey

A total of 192 radon cups were deployed across four prospects on lines spaced 100 m or 200 m apart, with 50-metre station spacing (100 m on the southeastern line at Norr Dottern 2):

• Langtrask (LG, two lines): historically drilled mineralization confirmed; anomalous radon suggests extensions to the north and southeast; the southeastern anomaly may also be caused and/or amplified by a uranium-rich boulder train in the same area;
• Vastra Liessetjakke (V.LS, three lines): multiple anomalous zones follow parallel northeast-striking, most likely structurally controlled trends, consistent with July/August, 2026, field results (see Nordx's news release dated Sept. 22, 2026);
• Norr Dottern 2 (ND2, three lines): a significant anomaly west of the known ND2 mineralized trench -- suggesting a source for the mineralized episyenite boulders found down-ice to the southeast -- and a second approximately 600 m southwest of the trench on the same line;
• Kikkejaure Vastra (KK, two lines): two significant anomalies, one southwest of the historically drilled area and one overlapping the historical boulder train, further suggesting the drilled area is not the boulder source; follow-up should focus up-ice, to the northwest and southwest of the drilled area.

Soil at all 192 stations was damp (186) or wet (six); as at Flistjarn, values should be considered minimums relative to dry conditions.

About the Norr Dottern project

The Norr Dottern licence in Norrbotten county covers an eight-kilometre north-northeast-south-southwest structural corridor explored by the Geological Survey of Sweden (SGU) and Sveriges Geologiska AB (SGAB) between 1971 and 1985, when 35 diamond holes were drilled across three historically identified prospect areas. Historical drilling intercepted up to 11.9 m grading 0.1 per cent U3O8 from 18.6 m downhole at Langtrask, open in all directions, and four m at 0.19 per cent U3O8 from 66 m downhole at Norr Dottern 1. The central prospects include the Norr Dottern 2 historical trench, where Nordx grab samples returned up to 6.95 per cent U3O8, and a nearby higher-grade boulder train of unidentified source; neither has been drilled. Grab samples are selective by nature and are not necessarily representative of mineralization on the property. Mineralization is considered to be albitite type, related to sodium-metasomatism along structures. A qualified person has not independently verified these historical results; the company is unaware of the analytical facility that produced them or of any quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) measures implemented by the companies that completed this work, and these results should not be relied upon.

About the Flistjarn project

Flistjarn is an approved exploration licence in Jamtland county, Sweden, along a 20-kilometre uranium-anomalous corridor in the Olden tectonic window. Mineralization is considered to be granite-related and structurally controlled. SGU (1976 to 1985) and Mawson Resources (2005 to 2011) mapped the corridor, but its documented uranium occurrences and anomalies have never been drilled.

Sampling, analytical method and quality control

Remote Exploration Services Pty. Ltd. (RES) carried out a RadonX survey to Nordx's design. The method relies on radon (222Rn), a gaseous uranium-decay product, migrating to surface through permeable cover through porosity and/or structures (faults and fractures). Measuring gamma emission from radon's daughter products bismuth (214Bi) and lead (214Pb) excludes thoron (220Rn) derived from thorium in the bedrock. Plastic cups containing active charcoal were buried at 30 to 40 centimetres depth for 10 days, and the charcoal cartridges were measured with a portable RadonX unit (a gamma scintillometer in a custom lead shield to reduce background radiation) using a two-minute counting period. RES quality control included a humidity-free and radon-free cartridge-loading environment at all times, consistent charcoal weights, weighing of loaded cartridges and regular in-sequence analysis of unexposed control cartridges to establish average background counts, which were subtracted from field measurements. Counts per second were converted to radon value (RnV) and transformed to its natural logarithm (LnRnV) for visualization. Anomalous values were defined as 0.5 standard deviation above the mean: LnRnV greater than or equal to 4.645 at Flistjarn and greater than or equal to 7.975 at Norr Dottern. On retrieval, moisture was recorded in 116 of the 367 cups deployed (four at Norr Dottern and 112 at Flistjarn), which may have impeded radon adsorption by the charcoal; this is separate from the station soil moisture reported above.

Historical Langtrask core was marked for cutting by Nordx personnel at the SGU core archive in Mala, Sweden, and transported under chain-of-custody protocols to ALS Global in Pitea, Sweden, an internationally recognized ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratory. Samples were dried, crushed and pulverized to industry-standard specifications before multielement analysis by ME-MS61.

Twelve Nordx sample intervals correspond directly to intervals assayed by SGAB in 1984. The two data sets correlate strongly (Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.94), confirming the presence and relative tenor of uranium mineralization at the same depths, including the highest-grade interval in LAT84004 (79.3 m to 80.3 m), which returned 2,034 ppm U3O8 against a historical equivalent of 2,699 ppm U3O8. The new assays are, however, systematically lower, averaging 24 per cent below historical values, with mean and median absolute differences of 27 per cent and 26 per cent across the 12 pairs. Eleven of 12 pairs fall within 40 per cent of the historical value and seven within 30 per cent. The exception, LAT84006 from 85.5 m to 88.5 m, returned 24 per cent of the historical value; excluding it, the mean absolute difference across the remaining 11 pairs is 23 per cent. The company attributes these differences to the different analytical methods (whole-rock analysis by SGAB in 1984 versus four-acid digestion with an ICP-MS finish at ALS in 2026), to the 2026 samples being cut from core remaining after the original 1984 sampling rather than the same material, and to the heterogeneous, fracture-controlled nature of the mineralization. The historical assays have not been verified by a qualified person and should not be relied upon; where the data sets differ, the 2026 ALS results are considered valid. The remaining Nordx samples cover intervals not assayed in 1984, including the entire 29-metre-to-82-metre interval in LAT84011.

Control samples made up 12.5 per cent of assays, in line with industry QA/QC protocols: six quarter-core duplicates, one reject duplicate (where only quarter core was available), six blanks, six medium-grade pulp certified reference material (CRM) and one high-grade pulp CRM, the CRMs being sourced from sandstone-hosted uranium mineralization interbedded with greywackes, siltstones or mudstones. All duplicates agreed well, within 0.4 per cent to 13.2 per cent; all blanks showed no significant contamination (0.1 to 0.6 ppm U); six CRMs fell within two standard deviations and one fell slightly below two standard deviations but well within three standard deviations.

U3O8 values are converted from laboratory-reported elemental uranium (U) using U3O8 equals U multiplied by 1.17924. All intervals are downhole lengths; true widths are not yet known as no structural measurements of the historical core were available.
