Aura Successfully Completes A$10 Million Placement To Support Its Project Readiness And Growth Strategy

Aura Energy Limited (ASX: AEE, AIM: AURA) (“Aura” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that it has received firm commitments to raise A$10 million via the placement of approximately 54.05 million new fully paid ordinary shares (“New Shares”) at an offer price of A$0.185 per New Share (“Placement”).


KEY POINTS:

  • Aura raises A$10 million with support from worldwide investors
  • Placement received support from new and existing shareholders
  • Company to offer eligible existing shareholders the opportunity to participate in a Share Purchase Plan to raise a further A$1 million
  • Proceeds will be used to advance development across Aura’s project portfolio including:
    • Progress the Tiris Project in Mauritania to development – ready to meet forecast uranium market strengthening
    • Target the growth in resources in the Tiris Zemmour province of Mauritania
    • Support the Swedish government’s strategy to create energy independence

The Placement was supported by existing shareholders investors including Lind Partners and a number of new investors. The Company is also particularly pleased to introduce several new international investors to the register.

Aura Chair Philip Mitchell said,

“This capital raising provides the required funding for Aura to continue our development planning works on the Tiris Project ensuring that it is ready for development when the uranium market signals and to enable ongoing efforts to identify additional, higher grade, low-cost resources in the Tiris Zemmour region of Mauritania.

“Naturally, in Sweden, we will continue to support the Government strategy as it systematically reviews the national energy policy and evaluates the requirements to retract the ban on uranium mining.”

The Company continues to look for opportunities to grow its resource base within the Tiris Zemmour region and to enhance the value of the Tiris Project to Mauritania and Aura shareholders. Aura is progressing the development of the Tiris Project, with the imminent submission of a permit application for the export of uranium from Mauritania. A decision by the Mauritanian Government with respect to this submission is expected towards the end of 2023.

Aura also continues to support the Swedish Government’s strategy to create energy independence and the methodical approach it is taking to rescind the current ban on uranium mining. In parallel, Aura is undertaking studies required for the submission of an exploitation permit for the Häggån Project. The funds from the Placement will allow this work to be continued. Aura’s Managing Director Dave Woodall will be in Sweden in late May to hold discussions on the project with key government officials.

Fast-tracking the Tiris Uranium Project to support a clean, decarbonized future

North Shore Uranium (TSXV:NSU)

North Shore Expands Land Position at Rio Puerco

North Shore Uranium Ltd. (TSXV:NSU) ("North Shore" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has staked 27 additional mining claims (the "New Claims") at its Rio Puerco uranium project in northwestern New Mexico ("Rio Puerco" or the "Project"). The Project now includes 64 adjoining Bureau of Land Management ("BLM") claims.

In 2009, a historical uranium resource estimate of 6.0 million tonnes at an average grade of 0.09% eU3O8 for 11.4 million pounds of U3O8 was reported for Rio Puerco (the "Historical Resource"). Initial review of the historical data suggests the potential for in-situ recovery ("ISR") mining, the lowest cost method for producing uranium. The entire Historical Resource is located on the original 37 Rio Puerco claims (the "Original Claims"). Previously completed exploration work suggests that there is potential to expand the reported uranium mineralization on both the Original Claims and the New Claims.

From Nuclear to Blockchain: How xU3O8 is Reimagining Uranium Ownership

xU3O8 has reached a key milestone with the listing of its uranium-backed token across major crypto exchanges, opening the door for investors to gain direct exposure to uranium at a time when demand is accelerating, said Arthur Breitman, co-founder of Tezos, which provides the blockchain platform for xU3O8.

“xU3O8 is a tokenized asset. It represents tokenized beneficial ownership in uranium oxide,” Breitman explained. “And the platform uranium.io allows people to come in and then buy this tokenized ownership in uranium, which can be interesting for people interested in owning the commodity.”

Breitman also explained the advantages of buying tokenized uranium versus investing in uranium stocks or uranium funds.

Sweden Moves to Lift Uranium-Mining Ban Through Legislative Proposal

Sweden has announced plans to lift its seven year ban on uranium mining, with a proposal to amend its Environmental Code and Minerals Act expected in parliament later this year.

If approved, the changes would take effect on January 1, 2026.

The proposal follows the conclusions of a government inquiry completed in December 2024, which recommended that uranium be treated under the same legal framework as other concession minerals. That recommendation was reviewed by the Council on Legislation in June 2025, clearing the way for parliament to consider a repeal.
