## Resource

Foremost Clean Energy CEO Jason Barnard joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company’s uranium exploration strategy, recent drilling success, and plans to advance its expanding portfolio of Athabasca Basin assets. Barnard said Foremost is focused on high-grade uranium exploration and currently holds 10 properties in Saskatchewan’s Athabasca Basin, one of the world’s premier uranium districts. A key part of the company’s strategy is its partnership with Denison Mines, which provides technical, strategic, and financial support as Foremost advances exploration across its project portfolio. The company’s flagship Hatchet Lake project remains the primary focus after recent drilling successfully intersected uranium mineralization. Barnard highlighted results of 0.34% uranium over 4.6 metres, including 1.0% uranium over 1.5 metres, describing the intercept as an important step toward defining a larger discovery at the project. “We have a flagship property now, and that’s Hatchet Lake,” Barnard said. The interview also covered growing investor and industry interest in uranium, driven by the increasing role of nuclear energy in global power generation and the rising electricity demands of artificial intelligence data centres. Barnard said these long-term demand drivers continue to support the uranium market and reinforce the strategic value of Athabasca Basin exploration projects. Beyond uranium, Foremost also holds lithium and gold assets in Manitoba. Barnard explained that the company continues to evaluate ways to unlock value from those non-core assets through corporate development opportunities and potential transactions, with the aim of supporting additional uranium-focused growth. Looking ahead, Foremost plans to continue advancing work programs at Hatchet L…
