Kraken Energy Commences Drilling Program at Garfield Hills Uranium Property

By: Newsfile

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 8, 2022) - Kraken Energy Corp. (CSE: UUSA) (OTCQB: UUSAF) (the "Company" or "Kraken Energy") is pleased to report that it has commenced an inaugural drill program at its Garfield Hills Uranium Property ("Garfield Hills" or the "Property") in Nevada.

A Phase I diamond drilling program designed to test the extent of uranium mineralization is now underway at the 1,238-hectare (3,060 acre) Garfield Hills Property. This program is planned for 2,000 metres ("m") of NQ diameter core drilling across 25-holes where recent surface samples of 0.32% U308 and historical intercepts from the late-1960s of 14 m (46 feet) at 0.26% U308 and 14 m (46 feet) at 0.18% U3081 were reported. The project is permitted for a total of 5,000 metres of drilling and the initial program may be expanded based on promising initial results. Garfield Hills is located within the jurisdiction of Nevada's Bureau of Land Management ("BLM"), 19 kilometres ("km") (12 miles) east of Hawthorne in Mineral County, Nevada.

*The Company does not treat these historical results as current and has not completed sufficient work to verify such historical results.

"With our inaugural drilling program now underway at Garfield Hills, we are very excited to begin confirming and stepping out from the historically reported intercepts of significant uranium mineralization on the property," commented CEO Matthew Schwab. "Drilling Garfield Hills is a critical next step towards establishing new uranium resources in the US as part of a broader hub and spoke mining model while demand for domestically sourced energy continues to increase."

The Company has also commenced an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) airborne radiometric and magnetic survey, which will continue concurrently with drilling. The survey will cover the entire expanded 1,238-hectare (3,060-acre) land package.

The UAV survey is being conducted by MWH Geo-Surveys using a Geometrics MagArrow Cesium Magnetometer and a D230A UAV Gamma-Ray Spectrometer flown under a Watts Innovation Prism X8 axial quadcopter.
