Lancaster Resources Clarifies News Release
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Lancaster Resources Inc. (CSE:LCR | OTCQ:LANRF | FRA:6UF0) (the “Company” or “Lancaster”) is issuing a clarification at the request of the CSE and CIRO concerning the staking of the Lac Iris Polymetallic Project that was previously disclosed as an acquisition. Lancaster is also pleased to provide an update on its properties. The Company’s portfolio of projects includes:
- Lake Cargelligo Gold project, a district-scale gold exploration property in Australia
- Lac Iris Polymetallic Project and the Trans-Taiga Project, both in the James Bay region of Quebec;
- Catley Lake and Centennial East Uranium Projects in the prolific Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan; and
- Piney Lake Gold Project Saskatchewan.
The Company continues to review gold and critical mineral projects for acquisition.
Lac Iris Polymetallic Project
Lac Iris is a ~1,443ha project located along the same geological trend as the NISK polymetallic high-grade nickel-copper sulphide deposit. The Lac Iris properties are prospective for polymetallic exploration.
Acquisition: The Lac Iris Polymetallic Project was acquired through online staking using Quebec’s Mining Title Management system (GESTIM Plus). The titles are currently pending the completion of the provincial mining title review process. Lancaster will provide updates once the review is complete.
Lancaster has started collaboration with KorrAI to review opportunities for hyperspectral imaging and a targeted field geological and geochemical program in early fall 2025. The goal of this exploration project is to identify polymetallic and lithium-rich areas/outcroppings, construct detailed geological maps, and evaluate the high-value metals content through rock and soil sampling.
Lake Cargelligo Gold Project
The Lake Cargelligo Gold project, which encompasses over 28,768 hectares under a single exploration license, features multiple historical high-grade gold and silver occurrences, identified through rock chip and channel sampling, as well as historical drilling.
Historical sampling includes results up to 204 g/t Au and 273 g/t Ag from rock chips, and up to 16m @ 5.83 g/t Au and 7.20 g/t Ag from channel sampling.1
Lancaster has initiated local stakeholder discussions to ensure rapid and fulsome approval with both stakeholders and regulatory bodies. This work is expected to complete by mid August 2025 and will allow for Lancaster to initiate its exploration program in Q3 2025.
The exploration program will target confirmation of the highly anomalous gold and silver concentrations previously reported. Field geologists will gather rock and soil samples for analysis, along with detailed outcropping and surface geological mapping. In addition, Lancaster will conduct a targeted geophysical program to support follow-up drilling opportunities within the project.
The Company has also initiated preparation of a maiden NI 43-101 technical report on the project.
Trans-Taiga James Bay Project
Lancaster holds the rights to acquire a 100% interest in the Trans-Taiga property located within the James Bay lithium district of Quebec, Canada.
Lancaster is reviewing opportunities for a joint field exploration program and HSI data set with the Lac Iris project. This combined effort would save capital and help confirm the significant opportunity at Trans Taiga.
Catley Lake & Centennial East Uranium Projects
Lancaster holds 100% of the Catley Lake and Centennial East properties in Saskatchewan, Canada. The properties are immediately adjacent to the Cameco Centennial deposit claims. The Cameco Centennial deposit is located just 12 km to the west and has notable uranium concentrations of up to 8.78% U3O8 over 33.9m and 25.6% U3O8 over 0.5m.2
Approximately 24km southwest of Lancaster’s claims is the Cameco Dufferin deposit, which has shown assays of up to 1.73% U3O8 over 6.5m. 3
Lancaster’s exploration plans include an initial detailed surface outcrop mapping, using hyperspectral data to identify vegetation stress indicative of subsurface uranium, acquiring high-resolution optical imagery, and purchasing corrected imagery for hyperspectral analysis (HSI).
Piney Lake Gold Project
Lancaster holds 100% of the Piney Lake Gold Property in Saskatchewan, Canada. It is approximately 65 km east of La Ronge Provincial Park and 2.5 km east of North Arrow Minerals’ Pikoo property.
Historical geochemical samplings for Piney Lake mention significant gold showings identified along a north-south trend. These include concentrations of 7.55g/T Au approximately 375 meters north, and an impressive 41.35g/T Au approximately 4.1km north, among others. 4
Management Commentary
“The Lancaster team is extremely excited about closing our the Lake Cargelligo acquisition. We can now accelerate the development of our precious and critical mineral portfolio by launching exploration programs at Lake Cargelligo and in the James Bay area. With these programs underway, we are focused on delivering significant exploration results and unlocking the discovery potential of both projects”, said Lancaster CEO Andrew Watson.
All exploration results are historical in nature and have not been verified by a Qualified Person under NI 43-101. The Company considers these results relevant for exploration purposes but not necessarily indicative of mineralization on the property.
Management cautions that mineralization hosted on adjacent and/or nearby properties is not necessarily indicative of the presence of similar mineralization or geology on Lancaster’s properties.
