Anson Resources Ltd, through its subsidiary Anson Resources===UV1 Minerals LLC, is commencing a targeted exploration drilling program at the Yellow Cat Uranium-Vanadium Project in southeastern United States===Utah, USA, in early March 2026. The program aims to test a 2,500-metre strike length of uranium and vanadium mineralization, building on previous surface sampling that yielded high-grade results. The objective is to confirm the continuity of mineralization between historical mining locations and lay the groundwork for future resource evaluation. This initiative is strategically important given the United States' reinstatement of Uranium on its Critical Minerals List and the global resurgence of interest in nuclear energy, driven by increasing electricity demand and national energy security concerns. The State of United States===Utah's support for critical minerals development and the presence of the White Mesa Mill further enhance the project's potential.
