VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Bedford Metals Corp. (TSX-V: BFM) (the “Company” or “Bedford”) announces that following a successful diligence review, it has elected to enter into a definitive option agreement (the “Agreement”), with an arms-length party, to acquire the Ubiquity Lake Uranium Project located in the renowned Athabasca Basin, Canada. This Agreement allows Bedford Metals to expand its existing mineral property portfolio with a highly prospective uranium project.

The Ubiquity Lake Uranium Project, covering 1382 hectares, lies just south of the bottom lip of the Athabasca Basin, adjacent to ALX Uranium’s Carpenter Lake Project to the east. Situated near the Cable Bay Shear Zone, parallel to the Virgin River Shear Zone, which hosts Cameco’s Centennial uranium deposit, the project holds immense potential. Furthermore, it is located 100 km west of Cameco’s past-producing Key Lake uranium mine, underscoring the strategic significance of its location.

Peter Born, President of Bedford, expressed his appreciation for the Company's technical advisors in facilitating the successful completion of due diligence, stating, "The Ubiquity Lake Uranium Project represents a significant step forward in our mission to create shareholder value. The addition of this highly prospective uranium project to our portfolio gives us the potential to play a role in the new green energy economy."

Bedford reaffirms its commitment to environmental stewardship and collaboration with local nations and communities as it moves forward with the Ubiquity Lake Uranium Project. The Company remains dedicated to conducting its operations responsibly and ethically, ensuring minimal environmental impact and fostering positive stakeholder relationships.

For further information regarding the Ubiquity Lake Uranium Project, and the terms by which the Company can acquire the Project, readers are encouraged to review the news release issued by the Company on March 7, 2024. No finders' fees or commissions are payable by the Company in connection with the Agreement, nor does the Agreement contemplate that any securities of the Company would be issued.

Margurete Gold Project. Bedford owns a one-hundred percent interest in the Margurete Gold Project. The primary target of the Margurete Gold Project is the FB Zone.  The project was last explored in 2018 with property-wide prospecting, mapping, and rock chip sampling, in parallel with a targeted pack-sack diamond drilling program. An initial exploration program was completed on the Margurete property in 1986 by Falconbridge.  This program consisted of geochemical surveys, ground-based geophysics, and a diamond drilling program, successfully identifying gold-bearing veins, which are believed to be genetically related to the same mineralizing events responsible for the nearby Doratha Morton and Alexandria Gold mines.
