What District Metals does

District Metals Corp. is a uranium polymetallic exploration and development company headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, with operations concentrated exclusively in Sweden. The company holds 100% ownership of the Viken Energy Metals Deposit in Jämtland County, which per S&P Global Market Intelligence contains the world's largest undeveloped uranium mineral resource: 4.3 billion tonnes Inferred at 161 ppm U3O8 (1.5 billion lbs contained U3O8) plus 456 million tonnes Indicated at 175 ppm U3O8 (176 million lbs contained). Beyond Viken, the portfolio includes the Tomtebo and Gruvberget base metals properties in the Bergslagen Mining District and a 151,329-hectare Alum Shale Properties package across multiple Swedish counties, with activities conducted through the wholly-owned Swedish subsidiary Bergslagen Metals AB.

The company's core technology is conventional mineral exploration and resource estimation: helicopter-borne MobileMT (Mobile MagnetoTellurics) airborne geophysical surveys, diamond drilling through contracted Nordic drilling firms (Arctic DS AB), UAV radiometric and magnetic surveys, and NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource estimates prepared by independent consultants P&E Mining Consultants Inc. and METS Engineering Group Pty Ltd. A specialized environmental initiative with Xoma AB applies microalgae-based water purification technology to manage metal leaching from Alum Shale, demonstrating Swedish drinking water quality thresholds for nickel and uranium after one treatment step. The company holds stock exchange listings on the TSX Venture Exchange (DMX), OTCQX (DMXCF), and Nasdaq First North Growth Market (DMXSE SDB).

District Metals is pre-revenue and funds exploration entirely through equity capital markets. The June 2026 Preliminary Economic Assessment for the Viken Deposit models annual production of 3.3 million lbs U3O8 (sufficient to meet Sweden's entire current nuclear reactor fleet demand), 16 million lbs V2O5, 250,000 tonnes of sulphate of potash, plus by-product nickel, molybdenum, copper, and zinc over a 13-year mine life. The PEA indicates an after-tax NPV8% of $2.88 billion, IRR of 45.9%, 2.1-year payback on $876M initial CAPEX, and average annual after-tax free cash flow of $531M. Negative unit operating costs of -US$121/lb U3O8 net of by-product credits create significant insulation from uranium price volatility. The customer base at production stage would span nuclear utilities, vanadium redox battery energy storage operators, steel and alloy manufacturers, and agricultural fertilizer distributors.

Revenue model

1. Uranium Production and Sales: Once developed, the Viken Project is expected to produce 3.3 million pounds of uranium per year, sufficient to meet Sweden's entire nuclear reactor fleet demand. Revenue will be generated through long-term offtake agreements with nuclear utilities and spot market sales of uranium concentrate (U3O8). The company is pre-revenue as an exploration-stage entity.
2. Vanadium Production: Average annual production of 16 million pounds V2O5, further refined into premium downstream products including 37 million litres per year of vanadium electrolyte (for vanadium redox batteries) and 6 million kilograms per year of ferrovanadium (at a 35:65 ratio). Vanadium electrolyte targets the growing energy storage market.
3. Sulphate of Potash (SOP) Production: Average annual production of 250,000 tonnes of sulphate of potash (SOP) over the 13-year mine life. SOP is a premium potassium fertilizer used in agricultural applications.
4. By-product Metals (Ni, Mo, Cu, Zn): By-product credits from nickel, molybdenum, copper, and zinc contained in the Alum Shale deposit. The PEA models these as credits against uranium operating costs, resulting in a negative average unit operating cost of -US$121/lb U3O8, indicating the by-products substantially offset mining costs.
5. Equity Capital Markets: Pre-revenue exploration company that raises equity capital through public offerings on the TSX-V and Nasdaq First North. Completed a $10 million non-brokered private placement in May 2026 under Canada's Listed Issuer Financing Exemption. The company has no operating revenue and depends on capital markets for funding exploration activities.

The company holds 100% ownership of the Viken Energy Metals Deposit — the world's largest undeveloped uranium mineral resource — and a portfolio of additional properties covering more than 195,000 hectares in Sweden. The company is pre-revenue and raises capital via public equity financings to fund drilling, geophysical surveys, and NI 43-101 compliant technical studies.

Product overview

District Metals Corp. is a uranium polymetallic exploration and development company operating exclusively in Sweden. The company's product portfolio consists of eight distinct mineral properties at various stages of exploration and development. The flagship Viken Property hosts the world's largest undeveloped uranium deposit and is the most advanced project, having completed a positive Preliminary Economic Assessment in June 2026. The Tomtebo and Gruvberget Properties represent the core base metals assets in the Bergslagen Mining District. The Alum Shale Properties form an extensive 151,329-hectare portfolio prospective for multiple critical energy metals. The Ardnasvarre, Sågtjärn, and Nianfors Properties are earlier-stage uranium exploration assets. Operations are conducted through the Swedish subsidiary Bergslagen Metals AB. The company operates within Sweden's established mining regulatory framework and is listed on TSX-V (DMX), OTCQX (DMXCF), and Nasdaq First North (DMXSE SDB).

• Arctic DS ABcoreImplementation/ SI/ Consulting Partner · 17 June 2026Arctic DS AB, a Swedish subsidiary of Arctic Drilling AS (a Nordic diamond drilling company with over 25 years of experience), was awarded the contract to conduct core drilling at District's Viken and Alum Shale Properties in central Sweden. Drilling at Österkälen commenced in late June 2026 as part of the company's approved 2026 exploration budget of approximately 5,000 to 7,000 meters. Arctic has assembled an experienced drill crew with a local base in Jämtland County.
• Xoma ABcoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 19 May 2026Swedish water treatment innovator collaborating with District Metals to test a microalgae-based purification process on water impacted by metal leaching from Alum Shale at the Viken Property. Testing demonstrated that drinking water quality thresholds for nickel and uranium were met after one treatment step using a double microalgae dose. The companies plan to advance additional testing including increased sample replication, varied water chemistries, and continuous-flow system simulations as the Viken Deposit is developed.
• Expert Geophysics Surveys Inc.coreTechnology or Integration · 27 February 2026Contracted by District Metals to conduct a helicopter-borne MobileMT (Mobile MagnetoTellurics) survey covering approximately 2,253 line kilometers over the company's Alum Shale Properties in north-central Sweden, scheduled to begin in late June or early July 2026. The 2025 MobileMT survey successfully identified large-scale conductive anomalies correlating with the Viken Energy Metals Deposit.
• Bergslagen Metals ABcoreOthersWholly-owned Swedish subsidiary of District Metals Corp. Established to operate Swedish activities under Swedish law, enhance community engagement and transparency, and manage project-specific information, environmental safeguards, and local updates for Swedish stakeholders. Operates its own website at bergslagenmetals.com.
• BolidenminorChannel Partner/ Reseller/ DistributorBoliden (TSX: BOS) had an option agreement on District's Tomtebo and Stollberg Base Metal Properties, with a Joint Technical Committee approving annual exploration budgets. Boliden provided funding for exploration programs. The option agreement was terminated by Boliden in August 2025.
