Traction Uranium Signs Option Agreement to Earn a 100% Interest in the Jackson Lake Uranium Property located in Northeastern Saskatchewan

CALGARY, April 01, 2026 - Traction Uranium Corp. (CSE: TRAC) (OTC: TRCTF) (FRA: Z1K) (the "Company" or "Traction") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an option agreement (the "Agreement") with GEOMAP Exploration Inc. (the "Optionor"). Under the Agreement, Traction has the right to earn a 100% interest (the "Option") in the Optionor's Jackson Lake Uranium Property (the "Property") located in northeastern Saskatchewan.

The Property covers approximately 2,960 hectares of Crown land in northeastern Saskatchewan, strategically located within the prospective Wollaston Domain along the eastern margin of the Athabasca Basin. This Paleoproterozoic basement terrane, part of the Trans-Hudson Orogen, is prospective for unconformity-related uranium mineralization and hosts some of the world's highest-grade uranium deposits. The Property exhibits favorable exploration characteristics, including graphitic conductor corridors, basement fault structures, and prospective unconformity settings, along with associated hydrothermal alteration signatures. Historical records also identify a documented uranium showing, further supporting its exploration potential.

Traction may exercise the Option by funding $400,000 in exploration work, making an aggregate of $100,000 in cash payments, and issuing an aggregate of 1,350,000 common shares of Traction ("Common Shares") over the next two calendar years, as shown in the table below. Traction may accelerate the exercise of the Option at any time by funding such exploration work and completing such cash payments and Common Shares issuances at such earlier times as it determines. If the Agreement is terminated prior to the exercise of the Option, all consideration paid will be forfeited and the Optionor will retain its 100% interest in the Property. During the term of the Agreement, Traction will act as operator and will have sole and exclusive right to enter on and conduct exploration operations on the Property.

Any Common Shares issued as part of the exercise of the Option will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance, pursuant to Canadian securities laws and to any additional hold period applicable pursuant to stock exchange policies. The transactions contemplated by the Agreement are expected to close on or about April 8, 2026 (the "Closing Date"), and remain subject to receipt of approval from the Canadian Securities Exchange.
