Size and Scope of Project: 32,237 hectares 19 mineral claims

Work Completed to Date: Regional Lake sediment sampling, ground gravity surveys,

airborne radiometric survey, VTEM survey, ZTEM survey

Project Acquisition: Prior to 2012, region was off limits for staking due to oil and

gas reserves Core claims were staked by the property vendor in 2013,

shortly after the first “discovery hole” of the PLS District at the Triple R Zone

Prior to the Triple R discovery hole, it was believed that uranium could only be found in the basin, at unconformity

Claims were first optioned to a struggling junior who could not advance the project

Core claims were acquired by Standard Uranium from property vendor in 2018 through an option agreement

100% of the Eastern extension claims were acquired by Standard Uranium through staking in 2018

Clearwater domain is thought to be a potential source of the uranium or the source of the hydrothermal system related to uranium deposits located in the Southwest Athabasca Basin

Exploration corridors to the east of the Clearwater domain have had several recent major uranium discoveries

The Patterson Lake Corridor hosts the Spitfire zone, Arrow deposit and Triple R deposit, and is interpreted to continue through the Clearwater domain to the Davidson River Property

The corridors on the west of the Clearwater domain have recently been discovered by Standard Uranium but they have never been drill tested

Magnetics Dominant Northwest-southeast trend Cross-cutting structures are evident throughout the

property Electromagnetics (VTEM) Condor Consulting recently completed a thorough

interpretation of the VTEM data Conductive zones generally follow the magnetic trend There are three main trends and several discordant

zones Breaks or jogs in the EM trend suggest structural

breaks or alteration zones Electromagnetics (ZTEM) Condor Consulting currently completing a thorough

interpretation of the ZTEM data – due in September Airborne Radiometrics Anomalous zones are located down-ice of the EM

2019 Exploration Plans – Confirming Drill Targets

Drill Targets have been identified based on: 1) Breaks or jogs in the EM trend suggest structural

breaks or alteration zones 2) Cross-cutting structures identified from the

magnetics 3) Associated radiometric anomalies down-ice of the

VTEM conductors 2019 PLANS Airborne ZTEM Survey Completed in May, 2019 The data will support the existing EM data, by

providing depths of conductive zones and dip interpretations ahead of drilling

Detailed interpretation expected Q3, 2019

Prospecting and Mapping Completed July, 2019 – interpretation Q3 2019 Investigate the source of the radiometric anomalies

Are there uranium-bearing boulders related to a deposit on the conductors?

Are the total count anomalies related to an uplifted basement block?

The two greatest times to be a uranium investor are during a uranium market bull run and when a junior exploration company makes a major discovery

Both Fission and NexGen made their uranium discoveries post -Fukushima in a downward trending uranium bear market

Standard Uranium has the potential to make a uranium discovery in an upward trending bull market

Summary Standard Uranium has an exploration team with proven success in making high grade

discoveries in the Southwest Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, Canada

The Davidson River Project is a land package that has never been drilled and with the

potential for further Patterson Lake Uranium District discoveries

This is an excellent opportunity and time to invest in Standard Uranium

Standard Uranium will complete its direct listing in the fall of 2019 and list on the

TSX-V under the symbol STND
