The summer exploration program represents a significant step forward in the advancement of the Ubiquity Lake Uranium Project. Extensive planning and preparation have gone into designing this program, intending to maximize the potential of this highly prospective property.

The application for the exploration permit represents the culmination of careful planning and diligent work by our team. We believe that the timing of this exploration program aligns perfectly with the increasing demand for uranium and the world's focus on sustainable energy solutions.'

Bedford is committed to conducting environmentally sound exploration practices and to respectfully and collaboratively engaging with local communities and indigenous groups. Environmental stewardship is a core value of the Company, and it will continue to prioritize responsible resource development throughout all stages of its projects.

The Company remains focused on increasing shareholder value through strategic exploration and development initiatives.
