VANCOUVER, BC , March 2, 2026 /CNW/ -Urano Energy Corp. ("Urano") (CSE: UE) (OTCQB: UECXF), Aero Energy Limited ("Aero") (TSXV: AERO) (OTC Pink: AAUGF) (FSE: UU3), and Pegasus Resources Inc. ("Pegasus") (TSXV: PEGA) announce that the companies have entered into definitive arrangement agreements pursuant to which Aero has agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of both Urano (the "Urano Transaction") and Pegasus (the "Pegasus Transaction") and, together with the Urano Transaction, the "Transactions"). The combined company (the "Combined Company") is expected to continue under the name "Manhattan Uranium Discovery Corp." and trade under the symbol "MANU".

Immediately prior to entering into the Urano Agreement and the Pegasus Agreement (as defined below), Urano and Pegasus terminated the binding letter agreement in respect of a proposed business combination transaction as previously announced in a news release dated December 2, 2025.

On closing of the Transactions, shareholders of Urano will receive 0.2 common shares (the "Urano Exchange Ratio") of Aero (the "Aero Shares") for each Urano share (the "Urano Shares") held and Pegasus shareholders will receive 0.133 Aero Shares (the "Pegasus Exchange Ratio") for each Pegasus share (the "Pegasus Shares") held.

Upon completion of the Transactions, the former shareholders of Urano (the "Urano Shareholders") will hold approximately 49.3% of the shares of the Combined Company (the "Combined Company Shares"), former shareholders of Pegasus (the "Pegasus Shareholders") will hold approximately 6.5% of the Combined Company Shares and the current shareholders of Aero will hold approximately 44.2% of the Combined Company Shares. The Transactions imply a value of $0.094 per Urano Share based on the 21-day volume weighted average price ("VWAP") of Aero and Urano's common shares on TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") and the Canadian Stock Exchange ("CSE") and a share price of $0.063 per Pegasus Share. The Transactions will be implemented by way of separate plans of arrangement (the "Arrangements") under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the "BCBCA"). The Transactions are not conditional upon each other and if one Transaction does not complete for any reason it will not impact the closing of the other Transaction.

William Sheriff, Executive Chairman and Director of Urano, stated: "By bringing together complementary teams and assets, we believe this joint effort creates a stronger platform with greater scale and visibility in a market where uranium is increasingly strategic to North American energy security. This combination expands our collective impact—allowing us to align technical expertise, prioritize the most compelling catalysts, and advance a consolidated portfolio with greater focus and discipline."

Aero Project Overview

Aero, following its successful merger with Kraken Energy Corp., has established a robust portfolio of uranium assets across North America, strategically positioned to capitalize on surging demand for domestic uranium supply amid the American nuclear renaissance and uranium's designation as a critical mineral.

In Saskatchewan's world-class Athabasca Basin, Aero controls a district-scale land package on the north rim near Uranium City, including the Strike and Murmac projects (under option agreements with Fortune Bay Corp., where Aero can earn up to 70% interest). These assets feature over 50 shallow drill-ready targets across more than 100 km of prospective horizon. Recent drilling at Murmac's Howland Lake North target delivered a notable intercept of 8.4 m at 0.3% U₃O₈ (with peaks up to 13.8% U₃O₈ over 0.1 m) just 64 m below surface, confirming potential for shallow, high-grade, basement-hosted unconformity-style mineralization. Upcoming summer and winter programs at Murmac and Strike will further advance these underexplored targets with strong radon anomalies and historical high-grades.

Complementing the Canadian focus, Aero's U.S. portfolio includes the Apex Uranium Project in Nevada—100%-owned and recognized as the state's largest past-producing uranium mine, located 5 km south of Austin in Lander County, Apex benefits from excellent infrastructure (road access, electricity, water, <15 min from Highway 50). Mineralization targets a trend along contacts between Jurassic quartz monzonite and Paleozoic metasediments, enriched in fractures and breccias. An initial drill program is planned upon securing permits.

Additionally, the Huber Hills Property in Nevada encompasses the historic Race Track open pit mine, further enhancing Aero's domestic exposure.

This dual-jurisdiction platform—high-grade Canadian discovery potential paired with advanced U.S. assets featuring past production and near-term drilling—positions Aero to drive accelerated exploration, resource growth, and value creation in a strengthening uranium market.

Urano Project Overview

Urano is a mineral exploration company focused on advancing conventional uranium projects in the United States, with a strategic emphasis on the Colorado Plateau region—a historic powerhouse for uranium and vanadium mining spanning Utah and Colorado. The company holds a diversified portfolio of 23 properties totaling 25,099 acres comprising 1,117 unpatented mineral claims plus 3 Utah State mineral leases. These assets are situated across key mining districts, including the Uravan Mineral Belt, La Sal District, Lisbon Valley District, and San Rafael District. Fourteen properties feature a history of past production, with over two dozen former mine portals and shafts, and all exhibit known uranium mineralization in sandstone-hosted Colorado Plateau-type deposits within the Upper-Jurassic Salt Wash Member of the Morrison Formation as well as the Triassic Chinle and Permian Cutler formations.

Urano's portfolio consolidates significant historical uranium resources and production legacy, positioning the company to capitalize on surging U.S. domestic demand for uranium as a critical mineral amid the American nuclear renaissance. Key highlights include:

• I-70 Uranium Project (San Rafael District, Emery County, Utah): A core asset with extensive underground workings, active Small Mining Operations permit, and substantial historical data. Recent evaluations identify approximately 1.4 million pounds of historical uranium resources at ~0.13% U₃O₈, plus an additional 295,534 pounds remaining historical resource at 0.23% U₃O₈ from the acquired Snow and Probe Mines. The project has been expanded through strategic acquisitions, including from enCore Energy, boosting land position by ~60% and historical inventory. Urano is compiling data in preparation for a NI 43-101 report and prioritizing resource validation and exploration.
• Uravan Mineral Belt Properties (Colorado, including Uravan Districts): Host to the historic Uravan Mineral Belt, which has produced over 80 million pounds U₃O₈ and 400 million pounds V₂O₅ since 1945. Urano's holdings include advanced assets with drilled-out historical reserves/resources; recent reviews (e.g., Bachelor, Dulaney, and La Sal Creek projects) added ~477,000 historical pounds U₃O₈, contributing to a documented cumulative ~4.5 million pounds U₃O₈ historical reserve inventory across over half the portfolio (with potential for substantial growth via ongoing database analysis).
• Other Districts (La Sal, Lisbon Valley, La Sal Creek): Feature past-producing mines, known deposits, and high-priority targets in geologically favorable sandstone-hosted settings. Examples include historical estimates such as ~179,170 pounds U₃O₈ (Indicated and Inferred) at 0.26% in parts of La Sal Creek.

Urano benefits from jurisdictions with streamlined permitting, access to extensive private historical databases and over 50 years of combined uranium expertise. The company is advancing permitting, resource confirmation, and exploration to unlock production potential from these underexplored yet infrastructure-rich assets, supporting North America's uranium independence.

Pegasus Project Overview

Pegasus is a Canadian uranium exploration company advancing high-potential, drill-ready projects in the United States, with a primary focus on the prolific San Rafael Uranium District in Emery County, Utah. The company's flagship assets are the 100%-owned Energy Sands and Jupiter projects, strategically located within a top-tier mining jurisdiction ranked among the most favorable in the U.S. positioning Pegasus to capitalize on surging domestic uranium demand amid the American nuclear renaissance and uranium's critical mineral status.

• Energy Sands Project : Fully permitted and 100%-owned, this asset spans approximately 1,500 acres in the San Rafael Uranium District, bordering Urano Energy's I-70 Uranium Project. It targets sandstone-hosted uranium and vanadium mineralization typical of Colorado Plateau-style deposits in the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation. Exploration has highlighted significant potential, including high-grade historical intercepts exceeding 2% and 3% U₃O₈. The project benefits from excellent infrastructure access and is poised for resource delineation and expansion through drilling, with strong complementary synergies to nearby assets like I-70.
• Jupiter Uranium Project : Located just 3 km north of Energy Sands and also adjacent to Urano Energy's I-70 Uranium Project, Jupiter is a drill-ready and permitted property where Pegasus has secured 75% ownership (with the path to 100%). Acquired in 2024, the project consists of 34 unpatented claims. It features an extensive historical database from over 100 drill holes enabling rapid advancement toward a current resource estimate. The proximity to Energy Sands and I-70 allows for integrated exploration synergies, leveraging historical data and modern techniques to unlock resource potential in this underexplored yet proven district.

These adjacent Utah projects consolidate a significant land position acres with historic underground workings and drilling, offering immediate exploration upside in a region with a rich uranium production history. Their adjacency to Urano's I-70 Project enhances synergies, enabling consolidated development strategies. Pegasus is advancing permitting, geological modeling, and drilling to define meaningful resources, supported by cost-efficient strategies and a commitment to strengthening North American uranium supply chains.
