Myriad Uranium Appoints Eduards Smirnovs as Industry Advisor

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 1, 2025) - Myriad Uranium Corp. (CSE: M) (OTCQB: MYRUF) (FSE: C3Q) ("Myriad" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that Eduards Smirnovs has been appointed external Industry Advisor to the Company.

Mr. Smirnovs is a highly regarded uranium sector specialist with extensive experience in mine-to-port uranium operations and uranium exploration. He has held senior management positions with leading uranium companies, including Uranium One Inc. and Lotus Resources, where he ultimately served as Chief Executive Officer of both organizations. Mr. Smirnovs' career includes a five-year tenure at Uranium One Inc., a major uranium producer operating six producing mines, three construction-ready projects, and a global exploration portfolio. He also led Lotus Resources, an emerging uranium producer focused on refurbishing and restarting a past-producing mine. Most recently, Mr. Smirnovs has provided advisory services as subject matter specialist to executive teams operating mining, private equity and commodity trading businesses.

Myriad CEO Thomas Lamb commented: "We are delighted to welcome Mr. Smirnovs to Myriad as an external Industry Advisor. His deep operational and commercial expertise aligns well with our strategic growth plans and represents a strong endorsement of our Company's potential. This appointment reinforces our commitment to advancing Myriad's U.S. uranium projects in light of the anticipated resurgence in the uranium sector, following President Trump's March 20, 2025, Executive Order designating uranium as a critical mineral and various federal and state initiatives. Mr. Smirnovs' prior experience overseeing Uranium One Americas Inc. operations, including the Shootaring Canyon Uranium Mill in Utah and the Irigaray Central Processing Plant in Wyoming with associated portfolios of uranium projects, provides invaluable insight as we position Myriad for future growth. Both of these past-producing operations with significant historical resources, which were subsequently acquired by Anfield Resources and Uranium Energy, have in recent years advanced their development and reached commercial production decisions."

Mr. Smirnovs commented: "Myriad's uranium projects in the U.S. are well-positioned for continued development, with large historical resources and significant upside potential in key uranium jurisdictions such as Wyoming and New Mexico. The U.S. government's increasing emphasis on securing domestic uranium supply has created strong incentives for the restart of past-producing mines and the advancement of exploration projects. This support provides a solid foundation for Myriad to advance its projects and potentially contribute to the growth of domestic uranium resources. I look forward to working with Myriad's management team and assisting in shaping the Company's commercial strategy as it advances its U.S. uranium projects."

About Myriad Uranium Corp.
Myriad Uranium Corp. is a uranium exploration company with an earnable 75% interest in the Copper Mountain Uranium Project in Wyoming, USA. Copper Mountain hosts several known uranium deposits and historic uranium mines, including the Arrowhead Mine which produced 500,000 lbs of U₃O₈. Copper Mountain saw extensive drilling and development by Union Pacific during the late 1970s including the development of a mine plan to fuel a planned fleet of California Edison reactors. Operations ceased in 1980 before mining could commence due to falling uranium prices. Approximately 2,000 boreholes have been drilled at Copper Mountain and the Project Area has significant exploration upside. Union Pacific is estimated to have spent C$117 million (2024 dollars) exploring and developing Copper Mountain, generating significant historical resource estimates which are detailed here. The results of Myriad's 2024 drill campaign at Copper Mountain are detailed here and here. The Company also recently acquired, subject to completing a geophysical survey this year, a 100% interest in the Red Basin Uranium Project in New Mexico, which has a near-surface historical resource (non-43-101) of 0.5 Mlbs indicated and 1.5 to 6.5 Mlbs inferred at grades from 1,700 to 3,100 ppm with significant upside potential.
