Mustang Energy Corp. Recaps Milestones and Strategic Progress in 2025
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Feb. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mustang Energy Corp. (“Mustang” or the “Company”) (CSE: MEC, OTC: MECPF, FRA: 92T) is pleased to provide a comprehensive recap of its key corporate, exploration, and financing achievements throughout 2025, underscoring the Company’s continued advancement as a uranium and critical mineral exploration company in Canada.
Exploration Advancement and Field Programs
Mustang executed an active and disciplined exploration program across several core project areas during 2025:
Surprise Creek Uranium-Copper Project (Saskatchewan)
The Company initiated its maiden diamond drilling campaign targeting priority geophysical and structural targets along the Surprise Creek Fault and the Bob Lake Copper showing. This marked a major operational milestone and represented the first drill testing of high-priority zones identified through earlier geophysical surveys and geological interpretation.
Cluff Lake Area Properties (Saskatchewan)
Following the acquisition of the Cluff Lake area properties, the Company completed a field prospecting and reconnaissance program designed to evaluate priority target areas and refine the geological understanding of the project. The program included mapping, sampling, and target verification work, establishing a foundation for future, more advanced exploration activities.
Regional Fieldwork
Ground-based exploration programs were conducted across Mustang’s broader project portfolio, including geological mapping, prospecting, sampling, and geophysical surveys. These programs refined drill targeting and enhanced the Company’s understanding of structural controls and alteration systems associated with uranium and critical mineral mineralization.
914W Uranium Project (Saskatchewan)
Mustang secured key exploration permits from the Government of Saskatchewan, authorizing expanded ground exploration and drilling activities. This permitting milestone positions the project for more advanced work programs moving forward.
Portfolio Expansion and Strategic Property Acquisitions
During 2025, Mustang strengthened and expanded its project portfolio through strategic acquisitions and staking initiatives:
- The Company acquired the Surprise Creek Uranium-Copper Project in Saskatchewan, securing a prospective asset within a structurally favorable corridor and advancing it to the drill stage during the year.
- Mustang also acquired the Cluff Lake area properties, increasing its presence in the western Athabasca Basin near historically significant uranium-producing districts and enhancing its exposure to underexplored, high-potential ground.
- The Company staked the Onyx Uranium Project and the Bridal Veil Copper-Silver Project in Newfoundland and Labrador, broadening its exposure to prospective uranium and critical mineral terrains.
- The Company completed the acquisitions of the Nucleus Property and the Yellowstone Property, further expanding its pipeline of prospective uranium exploration assets and reinforcing its strategy of consolidating ground in favorable geological settings.
- In collaboration with Skyharbour Resources Ltd., Mustang staked an additional claim at the 914W Uranium Project, increasing the project’s footprint within a highly prospective uranium district.
These additions reflect Mustang’s strategy of consolidating prospective ground in established uranium jurisdictions while building a diversified pipeline of discovery opportunities.
Strategic Financing and Capital Raised
Throughout 2025, Mustang successfully completed multiple financing initiatives to support exploration and corporate development. The Company raised aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $3.58 million through a series of non-brokered private placements completed during the year. Proceeds were directed toward exploration expenditures, project advancement, and general working capital.
Investor Engagement and Market Presence
Mustang continued to build market awareness through proactive investor communications, media features, and participation in industry forums. These initiatives supported increased visibility of the Company’s exploration strategy and long-term growth objectives.
Outlook for 2026
As Mustang enters 2026, the Company plans to advance its high-priority properties and exploration targets through additional field work, including expanded drilling programs. The Company anticipates that work will focus on follow-up drilling at key target areas, further geophysical surveys, geological modeling, and continued target generation across the portfolio.
Consulting Agreements
The Company is also pleased to announce that, on February 4, 2026, it entered into separate consulting agreements (the “Consulting Agreements”) with three arm’s-length parties. Each Consulting Agreement will remain in effect until terminated by either party in accordance with its terms. Under the Consulting Agreements, the consultants will provide corporate advisory services, including market research, strategic advice regarding potential mergers and acquisitions, and assistance with general business development. As consideration for the Consulting Agreements, the Company issued an aggregate of 4,000,000 restricted share units (the “RSUs”) of the Company to the consultants, which vested immediately. Upon vesting, each RSU is redeemable for one common share in the Capital of the Company.
