F3 - Extends Mineralization with 67.0m of Radioactivity at Tetra Zone
Largest Radioactive Intervals to Date on Project
Kelowna, August 5, 2025 - F3 Uranium Corp. (TSXV: FUU) (OTCQB: FUUFF) ("F3" or "the Company") is pleased to announce hand-held scintillometer results at Tetra Zone, where the widest intervals of radioactivity to date on the Patterson Lake North Project have been intersected with PLN25-217, which intersected a total of 67.0m composite radioactivity between 299.5m and 414.5m, including 49.0m of continuous radioactivity between 347.5m and 396.5m. Additionally, PLN25-212, approximately 23m up-dip of PLN25-217 and 31m along strike from the discovery hole PLN25-205, intersected the second widest interval to date with 39.5m composite radioactivity between 330.0m and 409.5m, including 27.5m of continuous radioactivity between 360.5m and 396.5m.

Sam Hartmann, Vice President Exploration, commented:
"The substantial radioactive widths intersected in these drill holes were truly unexpected and highlight the significant potential we see at the Tetra Zone. Despite challenging drilling conditions and the non-traditional style of mineralization, each hole provides valuable insights into deposit model generation and drill plan adaptations. Notably, PLN25-217 confirms a theorized strike direction deviating from the current conductor model, and we will continue to explore this trend. To improve our conductor modeling around the Tetra Zone area, we are planning a ground geophysical program based on a tighter grid to support larger step-outs along the Tetra Zone, which stands to reduce the number of drill holes required for targeting. Additionally, we cored two drill holes at the JR Zone using casings set last winter with PLN25-215 and -216, which tested for crosscutting structures; those assays will be included in our maiden resource estimate, expected in Q4. We are very excited and look forward to further uncovering this unique system hosting the Tetra Zone."

Handheld spectrometer composite parameters:
1: Minimum Thickness of 0.5m
2: CPS Cut-Off of 300 counts per second
3: Maximum Internal Dilution of 2.0m
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 parlance; this colloquial usage 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.
All depth measurements reported are down-hole and true thicknesses are yet to be determined.
