Traction Uranium intercepts multiple radiometric anomalies at Aurora

High-resolution radiometric and magnetic data identify anomalies near prospective basement features and support target refinement for follow-up drilling

CALGARY, Alberta, Aug. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Traction Uranium Corp. (CSE: TRAC) (OTC: TRCTF) (FRA: Z1K) (the “ Company ” or “ Traction ”) is pleased to report results of the property-wide high-resolution airborne radiometric and magnetic survey at the Aurora Uranium Project (“Aurora” or the “Project”), located in Saskatchewan’s Athabasca Basin region. The survey identified multiple radiometric anomalies interpreted as potentially related to uranium-bearing sources, including several positioned adjacent to or down-ice of prospective basement features previously identified by Cosa Resources Corp. (“Cosa”), the underlying owner and operator of Aurora.

The survey was completed by Calgary-based Special Projects Inc. (“SPI”) under Cosa’s direction and was fully funded by Traction. Traction holds an option to acquire up to an 80% interest in Aurora from Cosa, subject to satisfying certain earn-in requirements (please see the Company’s news release dated February 11, 2026).

Flown at 50-metre line spacing, the survey produced high-resolution radiometric and magnetic datasets across the Project. Several identified radiometric anomalies are adjacent to or down-ice of prospective basement features previously identified by Cosa. The new magnetic data support a higher-resolution interpretation of basement geology. When integrated with the VTEM and airborne gravity-gradient surveys completed by Cosa in 2024, the current survey has identified or upgraded several areas for follow-up. Figure 2 presents the radiometric anomalies in three priority categories together with historical drill holes, conductive electromagnetic responses, an electromagnetic conductor, interpreted magnetic lineaments, gravity-low zones and the A1, A2 and A3 target areas. Ground truthing of selected radiometric anomalies is planned to validate the airborne survey results and assist with target prioritization.

“These results move Aurora from survey acquisition into target refinement,” said Jared Suchan, Chief Executive Officer of Traction. “We can now assess the radiometric anomalies against the geophysical features previously defined across the Project. Our immediate focus is to validate the priority anomalies and complete the integrated interpretation needed to refine targets for a follow-up drill program.”

About Cosa Resources Corp.

Cosa Resources is a Canadian uranium exploration company operating in northern Saskatchewan. Its portfolio comprises roughly 237,000 ha across multiple 100% owned and Cosa-operated Joint Venture projects in the Athabasca Basin region, all of which are underexplored, and the majority reside within or adjacent to established uranium corridors.

Cosa’s award-winning management team has a long track record of success in Saskatchewan. In 2022, members of the Cosa team were awarded the AME Colin Spence Award for their previous involvement in discovering IsoEnergy’s Hurricane deposit. In addition to Hurricane, Cosa personnel led teams or had integral roles in the discovery of Denison’s Gryphon deposit and held key roles in the founding of both NexGen and IsoEnergy.
