Pursuant to applicable securities laws, the Shares are subject to a hold period of four months and a day expiring February 26, 2025.

Grant of Incentive Securities

The Company also announces that it has granted an aggregate of 2,075,000 incentive stock options (the "Options") to certain of its directors, officers and consultants. Each Option vests immediately and is exercisable to acquire one common share of the Company at $0.50 for a period of five years from the date of grant. In addition, the Company has granted an aggregate of 2,475,000 Restricted Share Units ("RSUs") to certain of its directors, officers and consultants. One-third of the RSUs vest on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant, subject to accelerated vesting in the event of: a change of control of the Company; the sale by the Company of a material asset of the Company (as determined by the Company's board of directors); or the closing price of the common shares of the Company on the Canadian Securities Exchange is $1.00 or greater at any time.

The Options and RSUs were granted under a new omnibus long-term security-based incentive plan (the "Plan") adopted by the board of directors of the Company.

About Myriad Uranium Corp.

Myriad Uranium Corp. is a uranium exploration company with an earnable 75% interest in the Copper Mountain Uranium Project in Wyoming, USA. Copper Mountain hosts several known uranium deposits and historic uranium mines, including the Arrowhead Mine which produced 500,000 lbs of eU3O8. Copper Mountain saw extensive drilling and development by Union Pacific during the late 1970s including the development of a mine plan to fuel a planned fleet of California Edison reactors. Operations ceased in 1980 before mining could commence due to falling uranium prices. Approximately 2,000 boreholes have been drilled at Copper Mountain and the project area has significant exploration upside. Union Pacific is estimated to have spent C$117 million (2024 dollars) exploring and developing Copper Mountain, generating significant historical resource estimates which are detailed here.
