Verdera Energy Collaborates for Nuclear Advancement

Verdera Energy Corp. is making notable strides in the nuclear sector with its recent announcement regarding its sponsorship of the inaugural Nuclear in New Mexico conference, scheduled to take place from April 20 to April 22, 2026. This event is organized by the Clean Energy Association of New Mexico (CLEAN) and is a significant milestone for the company's commitment to fostering strong community ties and actively engaging with local stakeholders in New Mexico.

In the words of Janet Lee-Sheriff, Verdera's Chief Executive Officer and President of CLEAN, the company is dedicated to ensuring that there is substantial community engagement across New Mexico. This approach aims to establish beneficial relationships and facilitate the development of their advanced uranium assets. Lee-Sheriff emphasized, "New Mexico's vast uranium resources, scientific know-how, and nuclear facilities position it as a key player in the U.S. Nuclear Renaissance. We are committed to providing essential information to New Mexico residents to empower informed decision-making, marking this conference as a vital step towards ongoing dialogue in the region."

The focus of the Nuclear in New Mexico conference is multi-faceted. It aims to encourage substantial discussions concerning the future of safe and environmentally sound uranium extraction, nuclear energy development, and the nuclear fuel cycle within New Mexico. By convening experts from the nuclear energy sector, representatives from capital markets, regulators, tribal representatives, and academic scholars, the conference strives to promote understanding of In-Situ Recovery (ISR) technology. This technology addresses the extraction process's environmental impact while presenting opportunities for responsible development.

With a mission to support a safe and clean future for New Mexico through responsible environmental practices, this conference serves as a platform for meaningful exchanges and collaboration among various stakeholders. Participants will have the chance to delve into the latest advancements and best practices within the nuclear industry and discuss strategies to tackle the growing energy demands responsibly.

The significance of the event is further underscored by the recent approval of stock options by Verdera's Board of Directors. They have sanctioned the grant of 1.5 million stock options to some directors, officers, and consultants, which reflects Verdera's strategic growth approach amidst changing industry dynamics.

The options are priced at $1.00 per common share, with a vesting period spanning five years from the date of grant. This initiative illustrates Verdera's commitment to aligning the interests of its leadership team with the company’s long-term objectives, ultimately reinforcing investor confidence.

Verdera Energy Corp. is particularly focused on the advancement of In-Situ Recovery (ISR) uranium assets, leveraging extensive expertise from its team in exacting the growing demand for clean and reliable domestic uranium, which is critical to nuclear energy production within the United States. Encompassing private mineral rights over approximately 400 square miles and possessing 88 million pounds of known resources, the company's substantial proprietary uranium database further demonstrates its commitment to spearheading nuclear energy production in an environmentally responsible manner.

As discussions about energy independence and sustainability gain intensity, the role of nuclear energy cannot be dismissed. With New Mexico's rich uranium deposits, the state is set to become a pivotal area in the domestic nuclear renaissance driven by a need to curtail reliance on foreign supplies. Verdera Energy Corp. is resolute in maintaining strong relations with local communities as it endeavors to contribute positively and economically to their surroundings.
