Stallion Uranium Upsizes Financing to $6M Amid Surging Uranium Demand

VANCOUVER, BC – December 17, 2025 – In a strong display of investor confidence, Stallion Uranium Corp. announced today it has significantly increased its non-brokered private placement, boosting the targeted gross proceeds to $6,013,250. The move, an increase from an initial $5 million target announced just five days prior, underscores the robust appetite for uranium exploration ventures as the world pivots back toward nuclear energy.

The financing is structured through the issuance of flow-through shares priced at $0.45 each. All proceeds are earmarked for funding exploration activities at the company's promising uranium projects located in Saskatchewan's world-renowned Athabasca Basin, a region often called the “Persian Gulf of uranium.”

This capital injection arrives at a critical juncture for the global energy market. With uranium spot prices hitting multi-year highs and a growing consensus around nuclear power's role in achieving decarbonization goals, the financing provides Stallion with an expanded war chest to accelerate its exploration programs and hunt for the next major discovery.

A Vote of Confidence in a Resurgent Market

The decision to upsize the offering by over $1 million is a clear indicator of heavy demand from investors. This enthusiasm is not isolated to Stallion but reflects a broader market sentiment. The global uranium sector is experiencing a renaissance, driven by a structural supply deficit that has been years in the making. Demand for uranium fuel is steadily climbing as nations extend the lifespans of existing nuclear reactors, restart idled plants, and commit to building new ones to ensure energy security and meet climate targets.

Geopolitical instability in key uranium-producing regions has further tightened supply, amplifying the need for exploration and development in stable, mining-friendly jurisdictions like Canada. As a result, junior exploration companies with well-placed assets are finding themselves in a favorable position to attract capital. Stallion, with its significant land package of approximately 1,700 square kilometers in the Athabasca Basin, is well-positioned to capitalize on this trend.

The company’s focus on uranium aligns perfectly with its designation as a “critical mineral” by the Canadian government. This status acknowledges uranium's vital importance to the country's economic security and its role in the transition to a low-carbon economy, opening the door for policy support and investment incentives.

The Power of Flow-Through Financing

Fueling this exploration push is a uniquely Canadian financial instrument: the flow-through share. This mechanism is a cornerstone of Canada’s mineral exploration industry, providing a powerful incentive for investors to fund high-risk, early-stage exploration activities. For a company like Stallion, which is not yet generating revenue, it provides a crucial pathway to raise capital without incurring debt or diluting shareholder value excessively.

Here's how it works: Stallion will use the proceeds from the sale of these shares to incur eligible “Canadian exploration expenses.” The company then “renounces” or flows these tax-deductible expenses through to the investors who purchased the shares. Investors can then deduct 100% of these expenses against their own income, significantly reducing their tax burden.

Furthermore, because the funds are directed towards a critical mineral, investors are also eligible for the federal Critical Mineral Exploration Tax Credit (CMETC). This provides an additional 30% non-refundable tax credit, making the investment even more attractive. For investors, it’s a tax-advantaged way to gain exposure to the high-reward potential of mineral discovery. For the company, it lowers the cost of capital and ensures that every dollar raised is channeled directly into advancing its projects on the ground.

Targeting the World's Richest Uranium District

The funds from this upsized placement will be deployed in the Athabasca Basin, the undisputed global leader for high-grade uranium. The geological endowment of this region is unparalleled; deposits here can feature uranium grades 10 to 100 times the world average. This extraordinary richness means that a successful discovery can be exceptionally economic to develop, with a smaller environmental footprint per unit of energy produced.

Stallion holds a significant position in the western part of the basin, with its largest project held in a joint venture with Atha Energy, forming the largest contiguous land package in that area. This strategic position places the company adjacent to several zones where high-grade uranium has already been discovered, making its exploration ground highly prospective.

The company has signaled its commitment to using modern, cutting-edge exploration techniques, including its proprietary Haystack TI technology, a type of time-domain electromagnetic survey. This advanced geophysical method helps geologists peer deep beneath the surface to identify geological structures and anomalies that could host uranium deposits, increasing the probability of a successful drilling campaign.

With this new infusion of capital, Stallion is poised to launch more extensive exploration programs. The work, which must be completed by the end of 2026 according to the flow-through share terms, will likely involve a combination of geophysical surveys to refine targets and diamond drilling to test them. The offering remains subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, a standard step for such financings. As the world clamors for clean and reliable baseload power, the work funded by these dollars in the heart of Saskatchewan could play a small but vital role in fueling the future.
