Aura Energy (ASX:AEE, AIM:AURA) is advancing its fast-tracked Tiris Uranium project in Mauritania, as it continues to transition from explorer to producer. The company's mission is to produce sustainable, low-cost uranium for the world’s future energy needs.
Aura Energy’s flagship Tiris Uranium Project in Mauritania is well-positioned to achieve near-term production from its Phase 1 project in 2024, supported by a stable jurisdiction and a mining-friendly government. The company has completed a definitive feasibility study which was recently updated with a 2021 capital estimate and has since submitted its draft Key Management Plans for Tiris to the National Authority for Radioprotection, Safety and Nuclear Security in Mauritania, part of the next steps to obtain authorisation for production and export of uranium oxide concentrate from Mauritania.
Company Highlights

- The Tiris Uranium Project in Mauritania is poised for near-term production, with low capital and operating costs, supported by a stable and mining-friendly jurisdiction.
