Latitude Uranium Provides Update to Shareholders

TORONTO, Aug. 21, 2023 - Latitude Uranium Inc. ("Latitude Uranium", "LUR" or the "Company") (CSE: LUR, OTCQB: LURAF, FRA: EI1) is pleased to provide an update to shareholders in an open letter from President and CEO John Jentz.

Dear Shareholders,

Throughout the past year, Latitude has solidified its position as a Canadian uranium explorer and developer. With the resurgence in the nuclear sector, I am pleased to share an update on the steps we are taking to position Latitude for future success. I would also like to extend a formal welcome to our new shareholders from ValOre Metals Corp. (TSXV: VO).

Transformative Restructuring to Latitude - Diversified and Derisked

I joined Latitude Uranium as CEO as part of the acquisition of the Angilak Project, which saw the Company add an excellent uranium asset in Canada with over $95 million previously spent advancing the project. Through a successful $12.6 million financing round, we fortified our financial position, enabling us to undertake a substantial 2023 exploration program at both Angilak and the CMB Project. Our focus since has revolved around enhancing efficiencies and prioritizing systematic exploration to deliver results.

Advancing Two District-Scale Projects in Proven Uranium Camps in Canada, with Angilak as the Centerpiece

We are strongly encouraged by our Canadian exploration portfolio with two district scale projects in proven uranium camps.

Angilak is a previously explored asset with notable historical results and as such is the centerpiece of our efforts. The project boasts a top-tier grade amongst the highest globally outside of the Athabasca Basin. Our focus is to demonstrate that along with its high-grade, Angilak has the potential to grow in size and become a leading development project globally. We commenced our 2023 work program with a radiometric survey and drilling inside of the Lac 50 trend, which we believe provides the best opportunity for extending known mineralization.

The 2023 drill program consists of 5,500 m and focuses on the Main Zone (Figure 1), confirming continuity in gaps of historical high-grade intersections, extending mineralization downdip from the near-surface mineralized zone, and defining new mineralization potential.

With the program progressing well, our scheduled mandatory break for our drill crew was moved to mid-August, to allow for continued productivity in drilling with over 85% of the program now complete. As a result, we are now expecting the first batch of preliminary drillhole results with CPS data (counts per second, handheld spectrometer) in the coming weeks with lab assays to follow. The first batch of core for assay is currently enroute to the Saskatchewan Research Council in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Drilling is currently paused for the required rest time as per Nunavut Workers' Safety and Compensation Commission regulations and will resume to complete the remaining less than 15% of the program in the last week of August.

Our longer-term plans for Angilak include an updated mineral resource estimate and regional target testing and expansion. We also plan to continue strengthening our social license to operate and build on the support already in place for the project. We remain encouraged by the Territory of Nunavut with its strong mineral endowment, and clear permitting process which is fair and tested. Nunavut continues to establish itself as an attractive jurisdiction for exploration and mining with four operating mines providing the largest private sector contribution to the economy.

Within our Central Mineral Belt Project ("CMB Project"), we are in the process of completing a Falcon Airborne Gravity Gradiometer, Gravity, Magnetic and Radiometrics Survey across the entire belt. This is the first time in 60 years in which data will be compiled across this vast land package providing pertinent data on new drill targets and the geological potential of the region. The survey is designed to identify favourable gravity anomalies and coincident to near-coincident magnetic anomalies typically characteristics of uranium and IOCG-type deposits. The survey has begun and due to its large size should be complete including interpretation before year-end. While the CMB remains a much longer-term opportunity for Latitude, we remain encouraged by its district-scale potential. Newfoundland and Labrador recently ranked as the 4^th most attractive jurisdiction in the world in terms of mining investment by the Fraser Institute, and we are encouraged by the recent activity announced by Paladin Energy to advance exploration at its 128-million-pound JORC-compliant Michelin Deposit¹.

Nuclear Energy Fundamentals Remain Strong, with a Growing Need for Uranium from Stable, Democratic Regions

Canada has a global reputation as a stable, reliable supplier of uranium, ranking as the second-largest global producer². While domestic production is concentrated in Saskatchewan, with continuing exploration, we believe Canada has a significant role to play in meeting future demand.

On a political landscape, Canada has implemented recent policy and regulatory decisions in support of nuclear. This includes significant advancements in Ontario with its first large-scale nuclear build in a generation³, as well as four separate provinces committing to the development of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) technology⁴. Additionally, Hydro-Quebec recently launched an assessment for the potential revival of Gentilly-2, Quebec's only nuclear power plant which was shut down in 2012⁵. All this progress is ample evidence of the country's energy landscape undergoing a transformative shift, for a significant expansion in the future.

As Market Conditions Advance, We Believe We Are Well Positioned to Harness the Ensuing Tailwinds for Our Canadian Advantage

I am optimistic about the trajectory that lies ahead and confident in the strong footing we are putting in place today, which includes:

• Two district-scale projects in proven uranium camps in Canada
• Advancing Angilak, which has a 43.3m lbs U₃O₈ historical inferred resource at 0.69%, one of the highest-grade uranium resources outside of the Athabasca Basin⁶
• Fully funded 2023 exploration program on both assets
• Proven company builders with a leading technical team

Sincerely,

John Jentz
