Kelowna, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 18, 2023) - F3 Uranium Corp.

("Denison") (TSX: DML) (NYSE American: DNN) for a $15 million strategic investment by Denison of unsecured convertible debentures into the Company (the "Debentures").

Terms of the Debentures

F3, at its sole discretion, may pay up to one-third of the Interest in common shares of F3 issued at a price per common share equal to the volume-weighted average trading price of F3's common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") for the 20 trading days ending on the day prior to the date on which such payment of Interest is due.

F3 will be entitled, on or after the third anniversary of the date of issuance of the Debentures, at any time the F3 20-day volume-weighted average price on the TSXV exceeds 130% of the Conversion Price, to redeem the Debentures at par plus accrued and unpaid Interest. Further, in the event of an F3 change of control transaction, F3 may redeem the Debentures at par plus accrued and unpaid interest plus an amount equal to the greater of (i) 15% of the principal amount and (ii) the amount of remaining unpaid Interest that would be payable during the initial three-year term of the Debentures.

The gross proceeds of the Debentures will be used primarily for exploration and development of the PLN property, and for general working capital purposes.

All securities issued pursuant to the Debentures are subject to a statutory hold period in Canada expiring four months and one day from the date of issuance.
