Traction Uranium begins airborne survey at Aurora, Saskatchewan

Survey to generate a project-wide dataset aimed at prioritizing targets and refining drill planning across roughly 17 kilometres of prospective strike CALGARY, Alberta, June 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Traction Uranium Corp. (CSE: TRAC) (OTC: TRCTF) (FRA: Z1K) (the “ Company ” or “ Traction ”) is pleased to announce that the planned airborne radiometric survey at the Aurora Uranium Project (“Aurora” or the “Project”), located in Saskatchewan’s Athabasca Basin region, is scheduled to commence on June 20, 2026, subject to weather, aviation scheduling, and final operational readiness. Traction holds an option to acquire an 80% interest in Aurora from Cosa Resources Corp. (“Cosa”), subject to satisfying certain earn-in requirements (please see news release dated February 11, 2026). The Aurora Project covers approximately 17 kilometers of prospective strike along the southeastern margin of the Athabasca Basin.

The planned airborne radiometric survey is designed to evaluate the Project for radiometric responses at a property-wide scale and to support the prioritization of target areas for future follow-up exploration. The radiometric data is expected to assist in refining exploration planning at Aurora, including the evaluation of areas with potential for near-surface mineralization, ground follow-up, target validation, and future drill-target refinement. "With the survey specifications set and the contractor engaged, confirming a start date keeps Aurora advancing on schedule," said Jared Suchan, CEO of Traction.

"The survey is expected to deliver a property-wide dataset that helps us rank targets and focus our follow-up on the areas with the strongest near-surface mineralization potential." The Company expects to provide further updates as the survey progresses and as results are received, processed, and interpreted.
