PANTHER MINERALS UPDATES PROGRESS ON THE BOULDER CREEK PROJECT, ALASKA

VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 18, 2024 /CNW/ - Panther Minerals Inc. ("Panther Minerals" or the "Company") (CSE: PURR) (OTC: GLIOF) (FWB: 2BC) is pleased to offer an update on corporate progress, including project advancement of its flagship Boulder Creek project. Panther Minerals has recently been informed (September 12^th, 2024) by the Alaska Department of Natural Resources that the final MLUP permit (Miscellaneous Land Use Permit - required to explore for and mine locatable minerals and to conduct reclamation) is in the editing phase, with a positive decision expected in the near term. As outlined previously (August 8^th, 2024) the Company has conducted a thorough and detailed permitting protocol, led by Jack DiMarchi of Core Geoscience LLC, to secure permits for the next 5 years.

Since the acquisition of the Boulder Creek project in April 2024 the Company has made significant progress advancing the project:

• PROPERTY - April 25, 2024 – Expansion of the Boulder Creek property to 22,400 acres or 9,065 hectares (90.65 square kilometres), covering approximately 30 km in a north-northwest-south-southeast direction, and varying in width from three to seven km.
  
  
• TEAM - May 2024 – Strengthening of the technical team with the additions of David Hedderly-Smith and Lindsay Bottomer to the advisory board. Mr. Bottomer also serves as the Company's qualified person within the meaning of National Instrument 43-101 -- Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, Alaska Earth Sciences was also engaged as the in-State lead geological and logistic consultants, and Jack DiMarchi of Core Geoscience LLC, was retained to head up the Company's permitting activities.
  
  
• FIREWEED PROSPECT - June - July 2024 – Investigations into the property database highlighted the significance of the second uranium showing on the property, the Fireweed Prospect. Located approximately 28 km northwest of the Boulder Creek Uranium deposit, initial sampling in 2006 by Triex Mineral Inc. (sample #95812) returned up to 0.82% U3O8 (6,950 ppm U) from "granitic, stained brick red by pervasive hematite, with specks of black mineral, likely pitchblende, forming about 2% of the sample" (Triex Internal Company Report - 2006 Report on Boulder Creek Property). Further sampling in 2007 by Triex reported: ""Twenty-one (21) rock samples collected from three main areas along the contact contain from 0.14% to 0.81% U308. These data confirm the 0.82% U308 value obtained from the single sample collected during a brief site visit in 2006. More than 300 sub-angular radioactive pebbles of silica-hematite rock have been identified from 130 mapped sites which cover an area of approximately 1,800 metres long east-west by 700 metres wide north-south". Based on the data reviewed to date, and as indicated in the Triex reports, the Fireweed mineralization differs substantially from that at the Boulder Creek deposit, and the size and strength of the anomalies at Fireweed (airborne radiometric, ground radiometric, rock sampling, and soil geochemistry) are larger and stronger. The Fireweed Prospect represents a high priority target for future exploration.
  
  
• SATELLITE IMAGERY - July 2024 - Dirt Exploration of Cape Town, South Africa, was engaged to conduct a long-wave infrared survey (LWIR) and interpretation of high-resolution hyperspectral satellite imagery over the northern portion of the property. Results reported later in July indicate He (helium) anomalies coincident with radiometric and rock samples anomalous at the Fireweed prospect which are likely produced by radioactive decay of uranium. Additional targets were indicated that will need to be checked in the field.
  
  
• SITE VISIT – July 2024 - Company consultants visited the property in July to appraise the condition of the nearby air strip and the condition of the core from the Triex 2006-2007 drill program and to complete a review of requirements to re-establish a field camp for exploration purposes.
  
  
• 43-101 REPORT – August 2024 – Significant progress has been made on the compilation and interpretation of the extensive historic database (Houston Oil and Minerals, 1979 1981, and Triex Metals Inc., 2006-2008), into a comprehensive initial draft 43-101 Geological Report. This activity is ongoing.
  
  
• TEAM – September 2024 – Mr. Jeffrey Kupfer joined the Company's team as a strategic adviser, with specific expertise and knowledge of the energy sector in the United States. Mr. Kupfer is a principal at DAA consulting, the president of the non-profit organization ConservAmerica, and an adjunct professor of policy and management at Carnegie Mellon University's Heinz College.
  
  
• PERMITTING – As previously mentioned, Panther Minerals is nearing final permits on the Boulder Creek property, with additional permits pending for the project. Refer to press release dated August 8^th, 2024, for details on permits received to date. This activity is ongoing.

"Panther Minerals has shown much progress this summer in increasing our knowledge in preparation for devising a strategy for next steps on our Boulder Creek project," stated Rob Birmingham, Chief Executive Officer of Panther Minerals. "Upon receipt of our final permit, we expect to coordinate details relating to timing and work expectations with our technical team, specifically relating to groundwork and drilling on our Boulder Creek and Fireweed targets."
