Xcite defines uranium trends at Black Bay, Lorado, Gulch

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 11, 2026) - Xcite Uranium Inc. (CSE: XRI) ("XRI", "Xcite" or the "Company") is pleased to announce initial geophysical results from a 2025 VTEM Plus airborne geophysical survey carried out by Geotech Airborne Geophysical Surveys that covered the Black Bay (1114ha), Lorado (643ha) and Gulch (1996ha) uranium projects. Advanced geophysical interpretation and modeling by Condor Consulting Inc. is nearing completion and will aid in prioritizing areas for summer fieldwork and targeting drill holes in Q3/Q4 2026. At the Gulch Project, the regional Black Bay Fault, one of the main controlling structures for uranium mineralization in the Beaverlodge camp, is clearly defined along a break between anomalous high conductivity to the east and low conductivity to the west (Figure 1).

The Calculated Vertical Gradient (CVG) of the magnetic data defines the Black Fault as an area with a high magnetic trend with offsets and splays possibly indicative of a favorable structural environment (Figure 2). A similar correlation is shown at the Lorado Project, with the Lorado Mine - Pitchie trend occurring along a coincident conductivity and magnetic high. Uranium mineralization at the Black Bay project occurs along the flanks of a pronounced magnetic high.

The 2025 VTEM Plus airborne geophysical survey covered the six uranium projects and the survey data was merged with publicly available geophysical data collected by previous operators. XRI Compilation Geophysics map - Figure 1. Conductivity XRI Compilation Geophysics map - Figure 2.

Rock grab samples are selective samples by nature and as such are not necessarily representative of the mineralization hosted across the property. The above results were taken directly from the SMDI descriptions and assessment reports) filed with the Saskatchewan government.

Management cautions that historical results were collected and reported by past operators and have not been verified nor confirmed by a Qualified Person, but form a basis for ongoing work on the subject properties. Management cautions that past results or discoveries on proximate land are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved on the subject properties. About the Beaverlodge Uranium District The Beaver River , Black Bay , Don Lake , Gulch , Lorado , and Smitty projects are located in the Beaverlodge District near Uranium City in the Lake Athabasca region of Saskatchewan.

Occurrences of uranium mineralization are abundant in the Uranium City area and have been explored and documented since the 1940s. The Beaverlodge camp was the first uranium producer in Canada, with historic production of approximately 70.25 million pounds of U3O8 between 1950-1982, from ore grades averaging 0.23% U3O8. The two largest producers were the Eldorado Beaverlodge (Ace-Fay-Verna) mine and the Gunnar uranium mine.

The Beaverlodge area has seen limited uranium focused exploration since the early 1990's. The Uranium City area projects have potential for both Beaverlodge-style and basement-hosted uranium mineralization. Key features about the projects include: Outcropping, largely northeast-southwest-trending tectonic fabric; Electromagnetic conductors that have been confirmed as graphite-rich pelites within or near major faults; Anomalous uranium geochemistry and radioactivity associated with graphitic faults; Compelling property-wide evidence for hydrothermal alteration; Uranium mineralization with corresponding elevations in pathfinder elements.

These factors, along with the presence of a substantial uranium endowment in both basement rocks and Athabasca basin cover rocks, indicate excellent potential for economic uranium mineralization within the project. The mineralization, structures and alteration identified on the claims to date are strong indicators of the possibility of a nearby source for the uranium mineralization. Xcite's management cautions that past results or discoveries on proximate land are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved on the subject properties.
