Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 3, 2026) - Homeland Uranium Corp. (TSXV: HLU) (OTCQB: HLUCF) (FSE: D3U) ("Homeland" or the "Company") reports that it has made the decision to allow non-core mining claims that comprise its Coyote Basin Uranium Project in Colorado to lapse.

Prior to September 1, 2026, the Coyote Basin Uranium Project was comprised of 839 mining claims situated on US Bureau of Land Management ("BLM") administered lands and three Colorado state exploration leases totaling 18,656 acres (7,549.8 hectares). All BLM mining claims are subject to an annual renewal fee of US$200 per claim that was to be paid prior to September 1, 2026.

Homeland has decided to retain 49 BLM mining claims and the three Colorado state leases which combined comprise 2,827.8 acres (1,127.8 hectares). The retained mineral rights overlie both the area of the 2025-26 drilling campaign and cover the majority of the area reported by previous operators that indicated that uranium mineralization may be present (see Figures 1 and 2).

The Company has received the analytical results of ten check samples that were sent to the Saskatchewan Research Council's Geoanalytical Laboratory ("SRC") in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan to confirm the results from the original analysis (see the news release dated July 30, 2026 available on the Company's website at https://homeland-uranium.com/news-releases/2026/homeland-reports-up-to-1820-ppm-u-from-surface-sampling-at-2026-07-30-040502). The results of these ten check samples did not differ materially from the initial results received from SGS Laboratories.

The Company has retained the core portion of the mining claims at Coyote Basin and will continue to review the results of the drilling program to determine whether the drillhole spacing was optimal to confirm the presence of uranium or whether the reverse circulation drilling technique utilized impacted the collection of representative samples from each rock unit.

About Homeland Uranium Corp.

Homeland Uranium is a mineral exploration company focused on becoming a premier US-focused and resource-bearing uranium explorer and developer. The Company is 100% owner of the Cross Bones and Coyote Basin uranium projects in northwestern Colorado.

Sampling and QA/QC

Ten samples that were initially prepared and tested by SGS Laboratories were forwarded to the SRC in for external quality control and quality assurance verification. These samples were selected to represent at least one drillhole per drill fence with three samples representing three drillholes nearest to the highest uranium concentrations reported in historical drillholes by previous explorers. Samples were analyzed using a multi-element analysis by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry using HNO3:HCl solution for partial digestion and Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry using HF:HNO3:HClO4 solution for total digestion.

Such factors include, without limitation: the timing and content of work programs; results of exploration activities and development of mineral properties; the interpretation and uncertainties of drilling results and other geological data; receipt, maintenance and security of permits and mineral property titles; environmental and other regulatory risks; project costs overruns or unanticipated costs and expenses; availability of funds; and general market and industry conditions.

Forward-looking statements are based on the expectations and opinions of the Company's management on the date the statements are made.
