Exhibit 99.1
Eagle Nuclear Energy Selects CBIZ CPAs P.C. as Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The engagement aligns with Eagle's continued progress on the Aurora Uranium Project and broader nuclear energy initiative
RENO, NV, August 5, 2026 – Eagle Nuclear Energy Corp. (“Eagle” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: NUCL), a next-generation nuclear energy company that owns one of the largest conventional, measured and indicated uranium deposits in the United States, today announced that following a thorough evaluation process, it’s Audit Committee, with the approval of the Board of Directors has engaged CBIZ CPAs P.C. (“CBIZ CPAs”) to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
“Eagle continues to work towards development of an integrated nuclear energy platform combining domestic uranium resources with advanced SMR technology,” said Eagle CEO Mark Mukhija. “Working with CBIZ CPAs provides us with an independent auditor who will bring specialized expertise across the energy and mining sectors. We are pleased to welcome the CBIZ CPAs team and look forward to all that is ahead.”
Eagle has continued to build momentum since its public debut in February 2026, advancing initiatives that support the future of domestic nuclear energy. Anchored by the development of the Company’s flagship Aurora Uranium Project (“Aurora”), one of the largest undeveloped uranium deposits in the US, Eagle is advancing toward a Pre-Feasibility Study (“PFS”) scheduled for completion in late-2027. Eagle’s Aurora site alongside the Company’s advanced SMR technology gives the Company the ability to help restore a secure domestic nuclear supply chain that addresses the rapid growth in energy demand.
