2024 Infill Drilling on Satellite Uranium Growth Deposits Complete

Resource update underway in preparation for bringing significant satellite deposits into the mine plan

Boss Energy Limited (ASX: BOE; OTCQX: BQSSF) is pleased to announce the conclusion of a successful infill drilling program at the Gould's Dam and Jason's satellite deposits within its Honeymoon Uranium project in South Australia.


Highlights

  • Infill drilling campaign completed at the Gould’s Dam and Jason’s satellite deposits within Honeymoon
  • The results will underpin an updated geological/mineralisation model and resource upgrade
  • Gould’s Dam is located ~80km northwest of the Honeymoon Mine (Figure 1) and currently contains a JORC-compliant resource of 25Mlbs of indicated and inferred U308; The Jason’s deposit is located ~13km north of the Honeymoon mine (Figure 1) and contains a JORC Resource of 6.2Mt at 790ppm U308 for 10.7Mlbs contained U308 (Inferred).
  • A total of 47 mud rotary holes for 6,455m were completed at Beulah (within the Gould’s Dam Inferred Resource envelope) and an additional 25 holes for 3,074m within the Inferred resource envelope at Jason’s.

    • 1.75m @ 802ppm pU3O8GT 1,404 (WRM0213 from 124.75m)
    • 3.00m @ 960ppm pU3O8GT 2,880 (BMR233 from 86.75m)
    • 1.25m @ 1,258ppm pU3O8GT 1,573 (BMR232 from 89.25m)
      • plus 0.50m @ 1,428ppm pU3O8 GT 714 (BMR232 from 91.50m)
    • 0.50m @ 3,897ppm pU3O8GT 1,949 (BMR238 from 96.25)
  • “These satellite deposits have the potential to drive growth as well as enabling us to leverage existing infrastructure and further capitalise on the opportunity presented by growing global demand for uranium from tier-one locations”.Boss MD Duncan Craib

The program has returned strong drilling results as well as high-quality modern downhole geophysical data which will be used to build an updated geological and mineralisation model which will feed into a resource update

The two deposits have combined resources of 36.7Mlbs of contained U308. Honeymoon is producing under its current Mining Licence covering 36Mlbs and therefore the Company will now seek government endorsement for the mining of two satellite deposits, effectively doubling the allowance under the License.

This will pave the way for Boss to assess potential increases in the annual production rate and mine life at Honeymoon.

AMC Consultants have been engaged to produce a block model and mineral resource update for these key satellite deposits, which will enable the company to determine those areas which are most economically viable.

Boss Managing Director Duncan Craib said: “With the production ramp-up at Honeymoon progressing so well, we are eager to press ahead with our plans to grow the annual output, cashflow and minelife.

“These satellite deposits have the potential to drive growth as well as enabling us to leverage existing infrastructure and further capitalise on the opportunity presented by growing global demand for uranium from tier-one locations”.

Argentina’s Strategic Advantage as a New Frontier for Uranium Exploration

Argentina is emerging as one of the most compelling new frontiers for uranium supply, with the country’s National Atomic Energy Commission estimating about 80,000 tonnes of uranium as "exploration targets" across various geological environments. It offers a unique combination of geological potential, government support and existing nuclear infrastructure — all within a jurisdiction that is eager to expand its domestic resource base.

Global demand for uranium has increased in recent years, bolstered by renewed investment in nuclear energy and efforts to secure supply chains. Argentina’s pro-nuclear-energy stance and local technical expertise offer a promising new alternative for uranium exploration, as global demand for this critical mineral continues to soar.

Blue Sky Uranium Forges Ahead with Ivana Project Through Strategic COAM Joint Venture

Blue Sky Uranium (TSXV:BSK,OTCQB:BSURF,FWB:MAL2) is making significant strides in advancing its flagship Ivana uranium-vanadium project in Argentina. In a recent interview, President and CEO Nikolaos Cacos detailed the company's newly formed joint venture with Abatare Spain (COAM), a strategic partnership poised to accelerate the project toward production.

Cacos highlighted the establishment of a new joint venture company, Ivana Minerales, formed with COAM to drive the Ivana deposit forward. This collaboration represents a pivotal moment for Blue Sky, as COAM is committed to funding cumulative expenditures of US$35 million to acquire a 49.9 percent indirect equity interest in the deposit. Furthermore, COAM holds the option to increase its stake to 80 percent by completing a feasibility study and fully funding the project's costs.

“As far as our long-term objectives go, it achieves the first long-term objective of creating a pathway to take it right through to production, and allows us now to begin to look at and focus on our other 100 percent owned projects that we have … coming up with a second uranium discovery,” Cacos explained.

China's Breakthrough in Uranium Seawater Extraction Boosts Efficiency by 40 Times

Chinese researchers have unveiled a method of extracting uranium from seawater at a fraction of the previous cost and energy use, positioning the country to potentially secure long-term domestic supply.

Scientists from Hunan University have developed an advanced electrochemical system that can extract uranium from seawater more efficiently and economically than any method currently in use.

The innovation, led by Professor Shuangyin Wang and his team, features a novel dual-electrode design using copper at both the positive and negative terminals, allowing uranium ions to be collected simultaneously at both ends.
