Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – March 2, 2026) – Jaguar Uranium Corp. (NYSE American: JAGU) (“Jaguar” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has received the Environmental Impact Assessment (“EIA”) permit from the Ministry of Environment for the Province of Chubut at Laguna Salada, the Company’s flagship exploration asset in Argentina.
Laguna Salada is one of the largest and most prospective near-surface uranium projects in Argentina. Specifically, the permit covers the “Guanaco” portion of the Laguna Salada asset.
The EIA approval was received ahead of schedule, providing a significant acceleration to Jaguar Uranium’s exploration timeline.
Jaguar believes Laguna Salada represents a near surface, bulk exploration and development target and will now accelerate its fully funded “Phase 1” exploration campaign to test this thesis, following its recent $25 million IPO earlier this year.
“The early arrival of the EIA permit is a major milestone for Jaguar Uranium,” said Steven Gold, CEO of Jaguar Uranium Corp. “This approval forms the foundation of our accelerating exploration strategy at Laguna Salada and positions Jaguar to rapidly advance toward our next phase of work. We thank the Government of Chubut and its Ministry of Environment for their thorough consideration into our application and ongoing support for our growing investment. Our strong cash position provides Jaguar the ability to ramp up exploration activity for the benefit of all stakeholders and community members.”
With this permit in hand, the Company is now fully authorized, upon submission of the corresponding work plan, to conduct all major exploration activities in the area including geophysical surveys, surface sampling, trenching, access road construction, drilling operations, and the establishment of exploration camps.
