2. Ownership and Share Structure Information

The information listed above was updated on the date this article was published and was compiled from information from the company and various other data providers.

Vanguard Mining Corp. (UUU:CSE; UUUFF:OTC; SL51:FWB) announced that it has entered into a share exchange agreement with Quark Uranium Ltd. and its shareholders, pursuant to which the company will acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Quark. The transaction is described as an arm's length transaction.

Under the terms of the definitive agreement, Vanguard will issue an aggregate of 8,000,000 common shares at a deemed price of CA$0.15 per share and make aggregate cash payments of CA$200,000, payable as directed by the shareholders. The proposed transaction implies an aggregate value of approximately CA$1.4 million. The consideration shares will be issued pro rata to the shareholders and will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance. No finders' fees are payable in connection with the transaction.

The proposed transaction remains subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of required regulatory approvals such as approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange, completion of satisfactory due diligence by each party, the accuracy of representations and warranties, and the fulfillment of all covenants and obligations under the definitive agreement. There can be no assurance that the proposed transaction will be completed as described or at all.

The Quark Uranium property consists of eight mineral claims totaling approximately 28,746 hectares located in Saskatchewan, Canada, within the Athabasca Basin region. The property is situated within a uranium-producing district in northern Saskatchewan that has historically accounted for a significant portion of global uranium production. The company stated that the property comprises a contiguous land position in this region and is in proximity to projects operated by Orano Canada and Fission Uranium Corp (TSX:FCU).

The properties are at an early stage of exploration and do not contain any known mineral resources or mineral reserves. The company stated that mineralization on adjacent or nearby properties is not necessarily indicative of mineralization on the Quark Uranium property.

David C. Greenway, President and CEO of Vanguard Mining Corp., commented in the news release, "Quark's land position in the heart of the western Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, represents a strategic addition to Vanguard's uranium portfolio."

Uranium Sector Trends and Supply Dynamics

According to an April 2 article from Mining.com, uranium had returned to focus as governments evaluated long-term energy security solutions amid supply disruptions. Guy Keller of Tribeca Investment Partners stated that "uranium will be back in focus," adding that electricity demand in Europe and the United States had been "trending upwards for the first time in decades," driven in part by artificial intelligence and data center expansion. He also noted that "there's now 38 countries that have pledged to triple nuclear capacity," reflecting a broader shift toward nuclear energy. Keller further stated that "the real bottleneck is coming from uranium," highlighting supply constraints within the sector.

An April 6 research spotlight from HoldCo Markets noted U.S. uranium production reached 2.16 million pounds in 2025, representing "the highest yearly amount of domestic US production since 2017," based on EIA data. The report also highlighted supply agreements and production dynamics, noting that a uranium supply deal announced in early March totaled 22 million pounds over nine years at market-related terms. It further stated that production levels remained subject to operational inputs, with management indicating that output "will be contingent to securing the needed level of sulfuric acid for production," while cost estimates had increased to US$35.75 per pound.

An April 11 update from Excelsior Prosperity with Shad Marquitz focused on technical price action across the metals complex, noting that recent movements reflected volatility and momentum-driven trading rather than fundamental shifts. The report stated that “pricing thus far in 2026 has been far more volatile, vexing bulls and bears alike,” highlighting fluctuations across multiple metals, including uranium-linked equities within the broader sector.

The analysis emphasized that recent market behavior had been influenced by technical trends, stating that “we’ll strictly look dispassionately at the technical price action on the charts, which strips away all that noise and narrative.” It added that momentum-driven participation had played a role across commodities, noting that “outsized moves bring in momentum investors that are agnostic to the sectors they invest in,” with capital flows following price direction rather than underlying fundamentals.

The report further stated that “short-term moves in pricing can ignore all of those fundamental physical supply/demand factors,” indicating that trading activity in the metals sector had at times been driven by sentiment and technical positioning. It concluded that “pricing momentum cuts both ways, and accelerates either bull or bear moves,” underscoring the role of market dynamics in shaping sector-wide price action.

Analyst Notes Uranium Growth and Confirmed Technical Breakout

¹In a February 25 technical analyst opinion, John Newell of John Newell & Associates stated that he rated Vanguard Mining Corp. as a "Speculative Buy." He wrote that "When a junior begins to align operational progress with technical momentum, it deserves a fresh look. That appears to be unfolding now."

Newell stated that "Since our last report, the company has strengthened its South American uranium position and secured environmental permits on its Paraguayan projects, marking tangible progress beyond early-stage concept." He added that "Recent news confirms that Vanguard has expanded its uranium footprint in South America while also receiving environmental permits for its Paraguayan projects. This is important."

In his technical analysis, Newell wrote that "The updated chart confirms that Vanguard Mining Corp. has completed a significant technical transition." He stated that "Both the CA$0.32 first target and the CA$0.50 second target have now been met." He added that "The breakout through former resistance occurred on expanding volume, a critical confirmation signal that accumulation was underway rather than a short-lived spike."

He further wrote that "Momentum indicators remain constructive, and volume expansion during the breakout phase was decisive." Newell outlined additional price levels, stating "Interim Target: ~CA$0.60 cents," "Third Target: CA$0.90 in play," and "Big Picture Target: CA$1.50." He concluded that "the combination of strategic uranium exposure, copper leverage, and a confirmed technical breakout supports maintaining a Speculative Buy rating at current levels of ~ CA$0.17 cents."

Exploration Programs and Corporate Developments

The NI 43-101 technical report recommends a two-phase exploration program at the Redonda project. Phase 1 includes an induced polarization geophysical survey, detailed mapping, and geochemical sampling to refine drill targets. Phase 2 outlines approximately 2,800 meters of diamond drilling across seven holes to test priority targets and expand mineralization.

The company also detailed the timeline of its warrant acceleration process. Vanguard exercised its right to accelerate the expiry of certain outstanding warrants previously issued in connection with financings completed in February and August 2025. Notice was provided to warrant holders that the expiry date would be accelerated to March 5, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. PDT. The company reported that the exercise of these warrants resulted in the issuance of 16,875,116 shares and total gross proceeds of US$2,540,366, with a portion of warrants expiring unexercised and a remaining balance of warrants outstanding with a February 2027 expiry.

According to the investor presentation, the company outlined additional planned exploration programs across its portfolio. At the Yuty Prometeo project in Paraguay, a confirmatory drill program was scheduled for Fall 2025 to validate historical results. At the Brussels Creek project in British Columbia, trenching and drilling programs were planned for the fourth quarter of 2025 to test priority targets identified through historical work. At the Redonda copper-molybdenum project, a first-pass drilling program was scheduled for 2025, with assay results expected in early 2026 to guide follow-up drilling and resource work.

The company also reported that it completed an oversubscribed financing in August 2025 with gross proceeds of CA$2.32 million. The stated use of proceeds included uranium exploration programs in Paraguay, gold-copper exploration at Brussels Creek, and general working capital.
