Raymond Ashley's Background and Role at F3 Uranium

Raymond Ashley, P.Geo, has been with F3 Uranium since the company's inception, originally leading its technical team as VP Exploration before being elevated to President and COO in April 2023. He holds a B.Sc. in Geophysics from McGill University and is a registered Geoscientist with the Association of Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta and Saskatchewan.

In his new combined role, the release states he will oversee drill-testing of high-priority targets with the company's technical team, advancing efforts to discover new uranium zones and expand the resource base.

Ashley's Track Record at the Triple R Discovery

Before joining F3, Ashley held a senior technical role at Fission Uranium, where the release states he headed the team responsible for the Triple R uranium discovery in 2012. Over the subsequent decade, he guided that project from initial discovery through to feasibility study. This experience is considered directly relevant to F3's current exploration focus, as the company's Patterson Lake North Project sits in proximity to Paladin's Triple R and NexGen Energy's Arrow high-grade uranium deposits in the western Athabasca Basin of Saskatchewan.
