BEDFORD METALS ANNOUNCES MULTIPHASE EXPLORATION PROGRAM AT SHEPPARD LAKE URANIUM PROJECT

Vancouver, British Columbia – April 3, 2025 – Bedford Metals Corp. (TSX-V: BFM, FWB: O8D, ISIN: CA0762301012) (the “Company” or  “Bedford”) is pleased to unveil details of its comprehensive 2025 exploration program at the Sheppard  Lake Uranium Project, situated in northern Saskatchewan within the southern Athabasca Basin. The  project integrates the former Ubiquity Lake, Cable Lake, and Sheppard Lake properties.  

The multiphase program, fully funded by Bedford, will encompass airborne geophysics, extensive  groundwork, and diamond drilling.  

Phase 1 involves a 747-line kilometer MobileMT survey, employing cutting-edge airborne electromagnetic  technology and the latest AFMAG advancements. This heliborne survey captures geoelectrical data up to  1 kilometer deep with exceptional spatial and resistivity resolution, effectively delineating magnetic  breaks and subsurface conductors.  

Phase 2 comprises a comprehensive field initiative covering the entire 13,092-hectare project area,  including newly acquired Cable Lake and existing Ubiquity Lake claims. The primary objective is to refine  existing diamond drill targets and identify new areas of interest across the expansive Sheppard Lake  property. Focus areas include TZ1, TZ2, VTEM conductors, and historic radiometric anomalies identified  in previous airborne surveys. Geophysical data from Phase 1 will guide target identification and  prioritization.  

The field team, consisting of a five-person exploration crew, will conduct systematic prospecting,  radiometric surveys, and ground magnetometer studies. Radon gas cups will be strategically deployed to  assess subsurface uranium potential, leveraging radon gas as a primary indicator of mineralization. The  field program will operate in two phases, utilizing helicopter support for remote or logistically challenging  zones.  

Phase 3 will target high-priority areas with diamond drilling, aiming to validate exploration targets.  

Peter Born, President of Bedford, stated, “We are excited to launch this extensive groundwork program  at Sheppard Lake. This initiative underscores our confidence in the property’s potential and our  commitment to advancing it aggressively. Backed by robust geophysical data, satellite analysis, and  promising preliminary field results, we anticipate significant strides in our understanding of the project  and refinement of our drilling strategy.”

Bedford maintains a strong commitment to responsible mineral exploration. All activities will adhere  strictly to environmental best practices and will be conducted in collaboration with local indigenous  communities and regional stakeholders. The Company prioritizes sustainable development and fosters  transparent, respectful relationships with affected parties.  

Further updates will follow as the program progresses and preliminary findings emerge.  Qualified Person
