The Dawn Lake project is a large, development stage project located in northern Saskatchewan in Canada, approximately 700 km north of Saskatoon. The majority of the project grounds cover an area approximately between the McClean Lake mill and Cigar Lake mine. The Dawn Lake project is a Joint Venture operated by Cameco Corporation and partnered with Orano Canada Inc.

Cameco disclosed in its MD&A for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, current resources for one deposit on the Dawn Lake Project. The Tamarack deposit is estimated to include, as of December 31, 2023, 17.9 Mlbs U3O8 in 183,800 tonnes grading 4.42% U3O8 in the Indicated category and 1.0 Mlbs U3O8 in 45,600 tonnes grading 1.02% U3O8 in the Inferred category. The deposit is unconformity-related at approximately 175 to 200 m depth, located 10 km to the southwest of the McClean Lake mill.

Cameco disclosed in its MD&A for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, that it had spent CAD$4.5 million in Saskatchewan in 2023, primarily on advancing exploration on the Dawn Lake Project. Cameco further states that the exploration drilling at Dawn Lake expanded the footprint of known uranium mineralization in the La Rocque Lake area with mineralized intercepts in excess of 60% U3O8 over several metres. Cameco continues that, although the deposit remains at a very early stage of exploration, the high-grade results and geological conditions observed to date are comparable to those of other mines and known deposits in the Athabasca Basin, generating interest and a focused effort to better understand its potential. Cameco stated that in 2024, they planned to spend about CAD$7 million on brownfields and advanced exploration, primarily to expand the footprint of the mineralization identified on in the La Rocque Lake corridor. The La Rocque Lake area on the Dawn Lake Project is along trend to the west of IsoEnergy’s Hurricane deposit on the La Rocque East Project, which has a stated resource of 48.6 Mlbs of Indicated resources in 63.8 kt of ore grading 34.5% U308 and a further 2.7 Mlbs of Inferred resources in 54.3 kt of ore grading 2.2% U308.

No uranium has been produced from the project to date and Cameco has stated no production plans for the currently defined Tamarack deposit.

Note on Technical Disclosure

Unless otherwise indicated, the scientific and technical information herein for the Dawn Lake Project has been derived from the 2022 Cameco AIF, its MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2023, and Cameco's other public disclosures. Other sources include the IsoEnergy News Release titled “IsoEnergy to Acquire Dawn Lake North Block to Expand Geiger Property in the Athabasca Basin”, announced on March 26, 2018, and historical uranium deposit information outlined in the Saskatchewan Mineral Deposit Index (SMDI).”

The Dawn Lake Royalty is a sliding scale 10% to 20% NPI on a 7.5% share of overall uranium production from the Dawn Lake Project lands.

The sliding scale royalty percentage for the Dawn Lake Royalty is based upon historical production and recoverable reserves on the combined Dawn Lake and Waterbury Lake / Cigar Lake Project lands, with the royalty rate having already achieved the maximum of 20% as the Cigar Lake mine has achieved the production and reserve threshold. The sliding royalty percentage will decrease to 10% upon production of 200 Mlbs U3O8 from the combined Dawn Lake and Waterbury Lake / Cigar Lake Project lands (Cameco has reported 123 Mlbs production to date). For further clarity, production from Cigar Lake will be considered to adjust the royalty percentage on Dawn Lake. As a profit based NPI interest, the Dawn Lake Royalty is calculated based upon generated revenue, with deductions for certain expenses and costs, which include cumulative expense accounts, including development costs. The royalty will only generate revenue to the holder after cumulative expenses are exhausted.

The Dawn Lake Royalty does not apply to the entirety of the project lands. However, the Company believes that the Dawn Lake Royalty applies to substantially all areas of the project underlying the existing deposits and areas underlying estimates of mineral reserve and mineral resource.

The La Rocque Lake corridor on the Dawn Lake Project is along trend to the west of IsoEnergy’s Hurricane deposit on the La Rocque East Project, which has a stated resource of 48.61 million lbs. of U3O8 based on 63,800 tonnes grading 34.5% U3O8 and Inferred Mineral Resources of 2.66 million lbs. of U3O8 based on 54,300 tonnes grading 2.2% U3O8. For further clarity, the royalty does not cover the Hurricane resources as outlined above, only the potential western extension of the mineralized zone on the adjacent Dawn Lake project claims.

The original joint venture established over the Dawn Lake area in 1976 was the Keefe-Henday joint venture between Canadian Kelvin Resources Ltd. and Asamera Oil Corporation Ltd. The Keefe Lake Joint Venture was later divided into three separate project areas, the Dawn Lake, McArthur River, and Waterbury Lake project areas.

The Dawn Lake project has been active since 1977, with the first significant uranium deposit discovered in 1978 when unconformity-associated uranium mineralization was intersected on what later became known as the 11, 11A, 11B and 14 Zones of the Dawn Lake deposit. The Dawn Lake deposits continued to be delineated and advanced up until development of a series of historical resource estimates between 1997 and 2000. Cameco does not currently attribute resources to the Dawn Lake deposits. The Tamarack deposit was subsequently discovered in 1999 and delineated over the following eight years.

On March 26, 2018, IsoEnergy announced that they had purchased a portion of the Dawn Lake project grounds, deemed the North Dawn Lake Block, which comprised 33 claims from the original Dawn Lake Joint Venture project. The Dawn Lake royalty acquired by Uranium Royalty Corp. does not cover the portion of the historical project sold to IsoEnergy.

Historical resource estimates for the Dawn Lake deposits are not currently stated by Cameco. Several smaller zones of mineralization have been discovered on the project, most notable being the La Rocque Lake (29.87% U3O8 over 7.0 m in hole Q22-040), Natona Bay (5.56% U3O8 over 5.25 m in hole Q27B-030) and Thorburn Lake (3.2% U3O8 over 8.8 m in hole Q14A-026). These historical deposits do not have resources assigned to them under the framework of NI-43-101.
