TORONTO, ON – February 7, 2024 – Madison Metals Inc. (“Madison” or the “Company”) (CSE: GREN) (OTCQB: MMTLF) (FSE: 4EF0) is pleased to announce a momentous breakthrough with the discovery of high-grade uranium mineralization at Anomaly 5, located within the Company’s Khan Project at Madison West in Namibia’s highly prospective Erongo uranium province. These remarkable findings, which include a surface sample of 8.47% U3O8, represent a significant expansion of new uranium mineralization, extending Madison’s footprint and project pipeline.
"Madison’s uranium discovery at Khan showcases a grade on par with renowned deposits in Niger and the Athabasca Basin, with distinct advantages: The Khan discovery is surface sampled, within trucking distance to an existing processing facility, on a licensed mining site, and requires minimal capital to expedite production,” said Duane Parnham, Executive Chairman & CEO, Madison Metals. “This strategic combination accelerates our path to generating immediate cash flow, reinforcing our commitment to shareholder value. The robust internal economic analysis, grounded in local expertise, positions Madison on a direct trajectory to becoming the next key player in the uranium market."
Madison’s current exploration work follows the initial fieldwork to ground-truth airborne radiometric anomalies (see Company news release on December 12, 2023). The follow-up exploration activities consisted of seven (7) surface rock-saw trenches accompanied by leucogranite mapping, sampling, and handheld scintillometer and spectrometer readings at Anomaly 5. The initial batch of assay results of 10 samples (Table 1) returned encouraging high uranium grades.
Discovery Highlights:
- Highest reported individual chemical assay of 8.47% U3O8
- The average of the first 10 chemical assays is 1.33% U3O8
- Seven (7) trenches (KM5STR001-KM5STR007) cut into D type SLG alaskite (same rock type of all Namibia economic uranium deposits) (Refer to Figure 1)
- Highest hand-held scintillometer reading of 15,000 counts per second (cps) and average of 9,600 cps
- More details will be provided as the remaining 45 chemical assay results are received and interpreted.

Quality Assurance and Quality Control
Natural gamma radiation in outcrop locations reported in this news release was measured in counts per second using a handheld Ludlum 19-10 Scintillometer. Readers are cautioned that scintillometer readings are not directly or uniformly related to uranium grades of the rock sample measured and should be used only as a preliminary indication of the presence of radioactive materials.
Sampling was completed following industry best practices, conducted under the supervision of the Company’s project geologists. Samples were collected and forwarded to Activation Laboratories (ACTLABS), Ancaster, Ontario for analysis. ACTLABS is an independent commercial, accredited ISO Certified Laboratory.
Qualified Person
