- ATHA Energy CorpATHA Energy Successfully Completes Diamond Drilling at RIB North Discovery, Expanding Strike Length To 3.4 Km, And Identifies a Higher-Grade Sub Zone: Results Include Ribn-Dd-023 Intersecting 19.5 M Of Composite Uranium Mineralization With 2.0 M Of High-GradeHIGHLIGHTS Preliminary results from the final seven diamond drillholes (See July 9th and September 8th, 2026 news releases for other preliminary results) completed along the Mineralized RIB Corridor ("MRC") at the RIB North Discovery (Figure 1 & 2) - as part of the now concluded 2026 Angilak Exploration Program; 2026 drilling has now connected the RIB North and RIB East Discoveries, expanding the mineralized strike length from 1.45 km to 3.4 km, along the Eastern Limb of the MRC; Identification of a higher-grade, a thicker sub-zone of uranium mineralization proximal to RIBN-DD-001 was identified with drillholes found in Table 1. The sub-zone currently has an approximate 300 m strike length and 300 m down-dip extent intersecting similar thicknesses, apparent grades, and multiple stacked mineralized structures. The sub-zone area - along with the entire Eastern Limb of the MRC - remains open and unconstrained; Seven of seven drillholes (RIBN-DD-017 to RIBN-DD-023) intersected uranium mineralization, results are highlighted by: Drillhole RIBN-DD-023: Successfully targeted uranium mineralization ~100 m down-dip from RIBN-DD-011 (which intersected 20.0 m of composite mineralization) and 150 m along strike from RIBN-DD-003 (which intersected 37.5 m of composite mineralization) identifying a thicker, and higher-grade sub-zone along the Eastern Limb of the MRC. RIBN-DD-023 intersected 19.5 m of total composite uranium mineralization2 over fourteen zones from 180.0 m to 777.5 m, including 2.0 m of high-grade mineralization2 (Figure 4). The highest-grade interval resulted in 2.5 m of composite mineralization2 from 582.0 m to 584.5 m with an average reading of 6,865 CPS1 and a maximum of 26,327 CPS1 over 0.1m, including 0.7 m of high-grade mineralization2; Drillhole RIBN-DD-019: Successfully targeted uranium mineralization ~850 m along strike to the northeast of RIBN-DD-001, intersecting some of the highest-grade mineralization to date at RIB North. The hole intersected 2.5 m of total composite uranium mineralization2 over three zones from 319.5 m to 740.5 m, including 0.6 m of high-grade mineralization2 (Figure 5). The highest-grade interval resulted in 1.5 m of composite mineralization2 from 739.0 m to 740.5 m with an average reading of 17,593 CPS1 and a maximum of 78,785 CPS1 over 0.1 m, included within 0.6 m of high-grade mineralization2; Drillhole RIBN-DD-022A: Successfully targeted uranium mineralization ~1.2 km along strike to the northeast of RIBN-DD-001. The hole intersected 5.5 m of total composite uranium mineralization2 over six zones from 490.5 m to 687.5 m (Figure 10). The highest-grade interval resulted in 1.0 m of composite mineralization2 from 490.5 m to 491.5 m with an average reading of 3,385 CPS1 and a maximum of 9,846 CPS1 over 0.1 m. Importantly, RIBN-DD-022 is located at the northeast extent of the currently tested Eastern Limb of the MRC, demonstrating that the mineralized corridor remains open and unconstrained for potential future northeast step-outs; Detailed strip logs, including results tables, are displayed below in Figures 4 through 10; Assay samples have been submitted to SRC laboratories for analyses; The Company anticipates releasing additional preliminary results from drillholes completed along the Lac 50 Deposit Corridor (including the Lac 50 NW Discovery area See July 8th, 2026 news release) in the coming weeks. Troy Boisjoli, CEO commented: "With the completion of the Company's 2026 diamond drilling campaign, I can confirm the preliminary results from the MRC are truly exceptional. In two decades as an exploration geologist exploring for uranium in the world's top jurisdictions, I am not aware of another project globally that's advanced from a single discovery hole at the end of one season, to having continuity of uranium mineralization along 3.4 km. After the maiden discovery hole at RIB North in 2025, our 2026 program at MRC was designed to test an area of mineralization that has the potential to host a Tier I deposit(s), through aggressively wide steps. The success in executing on this feat demonstrates two points: first, the Company has significantly derisked the MRC through advancing its understanding on the controls of mineralization, leading to high-confidence expansion; and, second, the metal endowment of the Angilak Uranium Project is widespread and has the potential to be Canada's next uranium district. The Company is working with subject matter experts on the interpretation that uranium deposits located within the Angilak Uranium Project area are the result of an Orogenic Uranium-Rich Deposit Model - the first of its kind to be identified globally. The plumbing systems and discovery potential along Orogenic Belts are well documented within the gold sector, and a uranium rich system would be something completely unprecedented. The Company plans to document the foundation for this interpretation in the coming weeks, while also releasing additional diamond drilling results from one of our other mineralized corridors at Angilak, the Lac 50 Deposit Corridor. We have a corporate motto at ATHA, "Only do real things", and with the success of the 2026 Angilak Exploration Program, I can say for certain, Angilak is very real, and we are just getting started". Cliff Revering, VP Exploration added: "The 2026 Exploration Program at Angilak has transformed our understanding of the Angikuni Basin and highlighted the scale potential of the Mineralized RIB Corridor. Widely spaced step-out drilling has now linked RIB North and RIB East, tracking mineralization over a strike length of 3.4 kilometers, with the system remaining open in all directions. This connection marks an important milestone, supporting our interpretation that the two zones form part of a continuous, laterally extensive mineralized structural system with considerable potential for further expansion. Beyond expanding the mineralized footprint, this year's program has provided valuable geological insights into the mineralizing system and the key lithological and structural controls on uranium mineralization across the Angikuni Basin. These insights continue to guide our drilling and broader exploration strategy, enabling us to prioritize target areas and pursue further expansion with increasing confidence." Vancouver, BC, Oct 7, 2026 - ATHA Energy Corp. (TSX.V:SASK)(FRA:X5U)(OTCQX:SASKF) ("ATHA" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce additional preliminary diamond drilling results from the Mineralized RIB Corridor, completed as part of the 2026 Angilak Exploration Program at its 100%-owned Angilak Uranium Project in Nunavut, Canada. Additional preliminary results from drillholes completed along the Lac 50 Deposit Corridor (including the Lac 50 NW Discovery area See July 8th, 2026 news release) will be released in the coming weeks. Today's release details results from an additional seven diamond drillholes, RIBN-DD-017 to RIBN-DD-023, (See July 9th and September 8th, 2026 for previous results) completed at the RIB North Discovery (Figure 1) - as part of the 2026 program. All seven drillholes successfully intersected uranium mineralization and expanded the continuity of mineralization from 1.45 km to 3.4 km along the Eastern Limb of the MRC by connecting the RIB North and East Discoveries (Figures 2 & 3). Additionally, drillhole RIBN-DD-023, located approximately 250 m along strike a to the northeast of the RIB North Discovery hole, RIBN-DD-001, successfully intersected 19.5 m of total composite uranium mineralization2 over fourteen zones from 180.0 m to 777.5 m, including 2.0 m of high-grade mineralization2 uranium. Results from RIBN-DD-023 form part of a higher-grade, thicker sub-zone (Table 1) of uranium mineralization proximal to RIBN-DD-001. The sub-zone currently has an approximate 300 m strike length and 300 m down-dip extent intersecting similar thicknesses, apparent grades, and multiple stacked mineralized structures. Table 1: Total composite mineralization for holes located with the MRC Eastern Limb Sub-zone MRC Eastern Limb Sub-Zone DDH Total Comp U Min RIBN-DD-001 *34.7 m RIBN-DD-003 37.5 m RIBN-DD-009 17.5 m RIBN-DD-011 20.0 m RIBN-DD-023 19.5 m *Total composite mineralization2 displayed for RIBN-DD-001 is based on assay results, all other holes display total composite uranium based on preliminary radioactivity results During the 2026 drilling campaign along the Mineralized RIB Corridor, the Company achieved numerous successful advancements: The Company successfully completed 23 diamond drillholes, 21 of which intersected uranium mineralization; Mineralization was discovered along two separate horizons, relating to the Eastern and the Western Limbs of the MRC: MRC Eastern Limb: Where the bulk of drilling was completed, followed up on the maiden discovery hole RIBN-DD-001, expanded the continuity of uranium mineralization over 3.4 km strike length, connecting the RIB North and East Discoveries along the same mineralized shear zone complex (Figures 2 & 3); Additionally, a higher-grade, thicker sub-zone of uranium mineralization proximal to RIBN-DD-001 was identified with drillholes found in Table 1. The sub-zone currently has an approximate 300 m strike length and 300 m down-dip extent intersecting similar thicknesses, apparent grades, and multiple stacked mineralized structures. The sub-zone area - along with the entire Eastern Limb - remains open and unconstrained; MRC Western Limb: Hosting the secondary horizon, was first discovered by RIBN-DD-008, and successfully followed up with drillhole RIBN-DD-010. Mineralization has been traced over a ~220 m strike length, with early indications the secondary mineralized shear zone may connect with RIB West Discovery, with a possible strike length of ~3.0 km.

Down Hole Gamma Probe 1 A Mount Sopris 40TGU-1000 Triple Gamma Geiger down hole probe was utilized for radiometric surveying. 2 The Company considers high-grade mineralization to be any interval with radioactivity derived from downhole gamma probe >10,000 CPS. The total gamma results provided were selected using an average cutoff of >300 CPS over intervals of 0.1 metre width. Mineralization was previously described as >500 CPS, however, based on assay results from 2024 & 2025, the Company has now lowered that threshold to >300 CPS, as typical results above 300 CPS return grades above 0.01% U3O8. All drill intercepts are core width and true thickness is yet to be determined. Core samples are submitted to the Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC) Geoanalytical Laboratories in Saskatoon. The SRC facility is ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accredited by the Standards Council of Canada (scope of accreditation #537). The samples are analyzed for a multi-element suite using partial and total digestion inductively coupled plasma methods, for boron by Na2O2 fusion, and for uranium by fluorimetry.

- Indonesia Pushes for Greater Transparency in Cross-Border Copyright RoyaltiesBALI, INDONESIA, Oct 7, 2026 - The development of the digital economy has changed the way creative works are used and generate revenue. However, royalty management systems have not yet fully kept pace with the increasingly cross-border use of creative works. "Through the Global Dialogue on Cross-Border Copyright Royalty Governance in the Digital Era, we seek to encourage the establishment of common rules and systems so that copyright royalties, which are increasingly flowing across national borders, can be recorded, calculated, and distributed in a more transparent, accountable, and fair manner," said Indonesian Minister of Law Supratman Andi Agtas after opening the Global Dialogue on Cross-Border Copyright Royalty Governance in the Digital Era at The Patra Hotel Bali on Wednesday, October 7, 2026. Minister of Law of Republic of Indonesia, Supratman Andi Agtas The dialogue, initiated by the Government of Indonesia through the Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DGIP), is being held from October 7 to 9, 2026. More than 28 countries are actively involved in the forum, which brings together member states of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), two intergovernmental organizations, five collective management organizations, industry experts, creators, and other stakeholders. "When creative works can be enjoyed in different countries through digital platforms, royalty governance must also be able to keep pace with these developments. Transparency, accountability, and interconnected systems are needed to ensure that the economic rights of creators are protected," he said. According to Supratman, cross-border royalty issues are not solely related to copyright rules, but also to coordination among institutions and the connectivity of information systems. Indonesia is therefore encouraging international dialogue to bring together the experiences and practices of different countries without disregarding their respective national legal frameworks. "This forum provides a space to build a common understanding and explore practical cooperation. The goal is to ensure that creators and rights holders receive economic benefits more fairly from the use of their works in the digital environment," he explained. Director General of Intellectual Property at the Ministry of Law Hermansyah Siregar said that cross-border royalty issues are more closely related to informationexchange than to copyright law. Incomplete ownership data and metadata, as well as differences between systems, can make it difficult to match the use of works with their rights holders. Director General of Intellectual Property at the Ministry of Law Hermansyah Siregar "Friction in cross-border royalties is rarely a dispute over copyright law. The main challenge is the exchange of information," Hermansyah said. According to Hermansyah, these issues can arise from the registration of works and reporting of usage to the metadata-matching process that connects usage reportswith rights holders. When identifiers for works are unavailable, the calculation, distribution, and reconciliation of royalties become increasingly complex. Data from the International Confederation of Societies of Authors and Composers (CISAC) show that royalty collections by creators' rights management organizations worldwide reached EUR13.97 billion, or approximately Rp278 trillion, in 2024. Of this amount, EUR5.14 billion, or approximately Rp103.16 trillion, representing around 37 percent, came from digital use. However, these collections remain concentrated in Europe and North America. The dialogue discusses three main issues: transparency, accountability, and system interoperability. Transparency relates to the information received by rights holders, accountability concerns responsibility at every stage of royalty management, while interoperability relates to the ability of different systems to exchange information reliably. At the international level, WIPO has also been promoting good governance in collective management through publications and technical assistance, including good-practice guidance for collective management organizations and the TAG of Excellence initiative on transparency, accountability, and governance. These efforts are expected to be developed together with stakeholders by applying professional rules and governance standards for member organizations. In Indonesia, the copyright framework is governed by Law No. 28 of 2014 on Copyright. The law also provides a national framework for collective management. In addition, Government Regulation No. 56 of 2021 on the Management of Copyright Royalties for Songs and/or Music regulates the framework for the collection and distribution of royalties. The regulation provides for a song and music database managed by the Directorate General of Intellectual Property, as well as the Sistem Informasi Lagu dan/atau Musik (SILM), to support the registration of works, usage data, and royalty distribution. According to Hermansyah, system connectivity is key to ensuring that royalties can flow from the use of works to rights holders. Indonesia is also developing the Pusat Data Lagu dan Musik (PDLM) and information systems to establish connectivity with global royalty systems. "Interoperability only requires systems that can communicate reliably. At present, many emerging markets lack the IT infrastructure needed to process large volumes of digital data," he said. Indonesia has previously presented an initiative on royalty governance, known as the Indonesian Proposal, at WIPO's Standing Committee on Copyright and Related Rights (SCCR). Discussions on the proposal will continue at the SCCR, while the Global Dialogue in Bali serves as a platform for exchanging experiences and identifying practical solutions that can be developed on a voluntary basis. "Technology has democratized the distribution of musical works. Our task now is to ensure that our governance structures democratize remuneration for those works," Hermansyah concluded. --Antara

- Indonesia Pushes for Greater Transparency in Cross-Border Copyright RoyaltiesBALI, INDONESIA, Oct 7, 2026 - The development of the digital economy has changed the way creative works are used and generate revenue. However, royalty management systems have not yet fully kept pace with the increasingly cross-border use of creative works. "Through the Global Dialogue on Cross-Border Copyright Royalty Governance in the Digital Era, we seek to encourage the establishment of common rules and systems so that copyright royalties, which are increasingly flowing across national borders, can be recorded, calculated, and distributed in a more transparent, accountable, and fair manner," said Indonesian Minister of Law Supratman Andi Agtas after opening the Global Dialogue on Cross-Border Copyright Royalty Governance in the Digital Era at The Patra Hotel Bali on Wednesday, October 7, 2026. Minister of Law of Republic of Indonesia, Supratman Andi Agtas The dialogue, initiated by the Government of Indonesia through the Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DGIP), is being held from October 7 to 9, 2026. More than 28 countries are actively involved in the forum, which brings together member states of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), two intergovernmental organizations, five collective management organizations, industry experts, creators, and other stakeholders. "When creative works can be enjoyed in different countries through digital platforms, royalty governance must also be able to keep pace with these developments. Transparency, accountability, and interconnected systems are needed to ensure that the economic rights of creators are protected," he said. According to Supratman, cross-border royalty issues are not solely related to copyright rules, but also to coordination among institutions and the connectivity of information systems. Indonesia is therefore encouraging international dialogue to bring together the experiences and practices of different countries without disregarding their respective national legal frameworks. "This forum provides a space to build a common understanding and explore practical cooperation. The goal is to ensure that creators and rights holders receive economic benefits more fairly from the use of their works in the digital environment," he explained. Director General of Intellectual Property at the Ministry of Law Hermansyah Siregar said that cross-border royalty issues are more closely related to informationexchange than to copyright law. Incomplete ownership data and metadata, as well as differences between systems, can make it difficult to match the use of works with their rights holders. Director General of Intellectual Property at the Ministry of Law Hermansyah Siregar "Friction in cross-border royalties is rarely a dispute over copyright law. The main challenge is the exchange of information," Hermansyah said. According to Hermansyah, these issues can arise from the registration of works and reporting of usage to the metadata-matching process that connects usage reportswith rights holders. When identifiers for works are unavailable, the calculation, distribution, and reconciliation of royalties become increasingly complex. Data from the International Confederation of Societies of Authors and Composers (CISAC) show that royalty collections by creators' rights management organizations worldwide reached EUR13.97 billion, or approximately Rp278 trillion, in 2024. Of this amount, EUR5.14 billion, or approximately Rp103.16 trillion, representing around 37 percent, came from digital use. However, these collections remain concentrated in Europe and North America. The dialogue discusses three main issues: transparency, accountability, and system interoperability. Transparency relates to the information received by rights holders, accountability concerns responsibility at every stage of royalty management, while interoperability relates to the ability of different systems to exchange information reliably. At the international level, WIPO has also been promoting good governance in collective management through publications and technical assistance, including good-practice guidance for collective management organizations and the TAG of Excellence initiative on transparency, accountability, and governance. These efforts are expected to be developed together with stakeholders by applying professional rules and governance standards for member organizations. In Indonesia, the copyright framework is governed by Law No. 28 of 2014 on Copyright. The law also provides a national framework for collective management. In addition, Government Regulation No. 56 of 2021 on the Management of Copyright Royalties for Songs and/or Music regulates the framework for the collection and distribution of royalties. The regulation provides for a song and music database managed by the Directorate General of Intellectual Property, as well as the Sistem Informasi Lagu dan/atau Musik (SILM), to support the registration of works, usage data, and royalty distribution. According to Hermansyah, system connectivity is key to ensuring that royalties can flow from the use of works to rights holders. Indonesia is also developing the Pusat Data Lagu dan Musik (PDLM) and information systems to establish connectivity with global royalty systems. "Interoperability only requires systems that can communicate reliably. At present, many emerging markets lack the IT infrastructure needed to process large volumes of digital data," he said. Indonesia has previously presented an initiative on royalty governance, known as the Indonesian Proposal, at WIPO's Standing Committee on Copyright and Related Rights (SCCR). Discussions on the proposal will continue at the SCCR, while the Global Dialogue in Bali serves as a platform for exchanging experiences and identifying practical solutions that can be developed on a voluntary basis. "Technology has democratized the distribution of musical works. Our task now is to ensure that our governance structures democratize remuneration for those works," Hermansyah concluded. --Antara
