Terra Clean Energy Corp. Announces Agreement to Earn 100% Interest in The Prospector Freedom Mines Project in Marysvale, Utah, United States

Terra Clean Energy CORP. (‘Terra’ or the ‘Company’) (CSE: TCEC,OTC:TCEFF, OTCQB: TCEFF, FSE: 9O0), is pleased to announce terms to acquire up to a 100% interest in the Freedom & Prospector Mines Project consisting of 6 Bureau of Land Management (‘BLM’) unpatented Lode Mining Claims on 39.5 Ha covering historic uranium mines (Prospector 1 Mine, Prospector 4 Mine, Buddy Mine, Lucky Strike). 

Transaction Highlights

• 4 Past Producing Uranium Mines covered on the Claims and surrounding area having produced over 1.33M lbs U₃O₈ at reported average grades of .22% U₃O₈ *
• Close Proximity to major roads with good year around access, power and a uranium mill located in Blandings, Utah
• Uranium recently added to U.S. List of Critical Minerals fast tracking permitting, regulatory policies as well as making eligibility for federal funding, loans and government grants easier
• Strong Government support for nuclear power and uranium mining projects and a stated objective to reduce reliance on foreign nuclear fuel
• Staged earn-in allows the company to optimize exploration programs
• Provides Terra shareholders exposure to three North American assets both with near surface uranium opportunities in low-risk jurisdictions

Greg Cameron stated ‘The opportunity here is you have an historic uranium district that was never systematically drilled and after decades it will finally get modern mining technology’.  ‘It is clear from the moment you arrive you are in a uranium district with many old workings, adits, shafts and old infrastructure. I am excited to see work begin and believe there to be a clear path to add significant value for our shareholders.’

Rationale Behind the Acquisition

The Freedom and Prospector Mines produced from 1949 through to 1969, historical production from the Marysvale district recorded over 1.33M lbs U₃O₈ with over 75% of that coming from these mines. The mines in the area were initially mined individually as deep as 700-900 feet, however by the mid 1950’s the Prospector 1, Prospector 4, VCA Shaft,  Freedom 1, and Freedom 2 Mines were all joined by underground drifts and worked as one operation.   Drilling in 1970s confirmed the ore continued down at least another 600 feet which we plan to confirm via step out drilling. It is important to note that the encompassing claims have a production history, in ideal locations, situated near main roads, secondary roads and have access to power and water sources. In December The Trump Administration added uranium to the critical minerals list with a view to attract capital to uranium projects.

‘This project offers significant upside as it is clear that these old mines were abandoned in the 1970’s due to a uranium market collapse not because they ran out of uranium to mine,’ stated Greg Cameron, CEO of Terra. ‘We believe strongly that we can expand on the previous work through modern exploration technologies like 3D modelling’  added Trevor Perkins VP Exploration.

Project Overview

The Prospector and Freedom Mines Project consists of 6 contiguous claims covering 39.5 Ha in Piute County, Utah.  The property is located adjacent to the Fishlake National Forest, approximately 5.25 km northeast of the village of Marysvale.   A network of gravel roads allow easy year-round access to the property.

Uranium in the area was discovered in 1948 and mining commenced in 1949 by Vanadium Corporation of America (VCA).  Over the next few years they consolidated various claims and operations in the area.  Production ceased in the Marysvale area in 1969.  Some exploration drilling was undertaken in the area in the late 1970’s.

The Marysvale District hosts nearly vertical, northeast and east striking fissure veins that cut granitic and volcanic rocks of the Belknap volcanic sequence and is a prime example of  an epithermal vein-style uranium system. Ore is located within the north-northwesterly striking, near vertical, Prospector Fault (Figure 3).  The primary ore minerals are uraninite, coffinite, jordisite, and umohoite. 

Terra’s VP Exploration visited the property in late 2025.  Preliminary research indicates that there is still significant ore in the ground and the property has good resource potential.  All available mining and production data for the property should be acquired and digitized.  Air and ground based radiometric surveys and trenching of anomalies will aid in developing an updated structural model for the area to allow efficient drilling and modeling of the remaining mineralization.
