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.

Terra Clean Energy Ramps Up Summer Drilling Plans, Eyes Resource Update
Terra Clean Energy (CSE:TCEC,OTCQB:TCEFF,FWB:C9O0) President and CEO Greg Cameron outlines the company's upcoming summer drill program at the South Falcon East uranium project, building on strong results from a winter campaign at the Fraser Lakes B deposit.
“The plan is to get up to 2,500 meters back into this new area of interest. Hopefully drill into what we're defining as an unconformity basement-hosted uranium deposit with significantly higher grade than we currently have,” he said.
“We would have the ability to update that resource report in some fashion, maybe early 2026 or mid-2026, so those are the two key catalysts. But it's all about drilling and adding pounds to the current resource and, more importantly, significantly enhancing that grade which we think we have," Cameron added.
The 2025 summer drill program will target a priority zone identified in the winter campaign, where key geological features associated with high-grade uranium converge, further presenting a strong opportunity for high-grade discovery and resource expansion.

Top 3 ASX Uranium Stocks of 2025
Uranium broke out in 2024, with the spot price rising to a 17 year high of US$106 per pound early in the year. Despite a pullback to about US$78, uranium is still more than 40 percent higher than it was two years ago.
Although the market is dealing with ample supply and uncertain demand in 2025, experts are predicting a bright future as countries around the world pursue energy security goals.
Against that backdrop, ASX-listed uranium companies have been making moves in 2025.
Below the Investing News Network has listed the top-performing uranium shares on the ASX by year-to-date gains. Data was gathered using TradingView's stock screener on July 3, 2025, and Australian uranium companies with market caps above AU$10 million at the time were considered. Read on to learn more about uranium firms and what they've been up to so far this year.
1. Boss Energy (ASX:BOE)
Year-to-date gain: 72.02 percent
Market cap: AU$1.84 billion
Share price: AU$4.18
Boss Energy is one of Australia’s largest uranium mining companies by market cap. The company has been ramping up production at its Honeymoon uranium mine in South Australia and its Alta Mesa uranium mine joint-venture in South Texas. Boss Energy holds a 30 percent stake in Alta Mesa, with the remaining 70 percent owned by enCore Energy (TSXV:EU,NASDAQ:EU).
So far in 2025, Boss Energy has expanded its holdings in Australia’s uranium sector. The company entered into a binding option and earn-in agreement in early March with Eclipse Metals (ASX:EPM), which will grant Boss Energy the option to earn up to an 80 percent interest in the Liverpool uranium project in the Northern Territory.
A few days later, Boss Energy increased its position in Laramide Resources (ASX:LAM,TSX:LAM,OTCQX:LMRXF) to 18.4 percent. Laramide’s flagship asset is the Westmoreland uranium project in Queensland. While the state currently holds a moratorium on uranium mining, Boss Energy Managing Director Duncan Craib stated the company is confident the Queensland government will “inevitably lift” the ban.
The company announced on June 18 that it had met its first-year production guidance of 850,000 pounds of U3O8 at Honeymoon for the fiscal year 2025.
Shares of Boss Energy reached their 2025 peak on June 30 at AU$4.67.
2. Aura Energy (ASX:AEE)
Year-to-date gain: 24 percent
Market cap: AU$146.04 million
Share price: AU$0.16
Aura Energy is exploring and developing uranium and polymetallic projects in Africa and Europe. The company’s most advanced asset is the Tiris uranium project in Mauritania. The 2024 FEED study on Tiris demonstrates the potential for a near-term, low-cost uranium mine producing 2 million pounds of U3O8 per year over a 25 year mine life.
Aura Energy is hoping to bring the Tiris uranium mine into production in 2027.
Additionally, Aura wholly owns the Häggån vanadium-potash-uranium project in Sweden, which contains one of the world's largest uranium deposits, according to the company. Sweden currently has a ban on uranium mining, but the country's current government is taking steps towards lifting it to support the country's nuclear energy production.
In early June, Aura shared that it is holding discussions with the Swedish government and entered a strategic collaboration agreement with fellow Australia-based, Sweden-focused company Neu Horizon Uranium.
Shares of Aura Energy hit a year-to-date high of AU$0.18 twice so far this year, most recently on June 30. This followed the June 26 release announcing the publishing of the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment on the US International Development Finance Corporation website. Aura applied to the organization for debt financing to cover a portion of development costs for Tiris.
3. Elevate Uranium (ASX:EL8)
Year-to-date gain: 16.98 percent
Market cap: AU$119.54 million
Share price: AU$0.31
Elevate Uranium is exploring and developing uranium projects in the top uranium producing nations of Namibia and Australia. Its project pipeline includes the Koppies and Marenica projects in Namibia, and the Minerva and Angela projects in Australia.
Koppies is its most advanced project and has a near-surface resource of 66 million pounds of U3O8.
Elevate has also developed the proprietary U-pgrade beneficiation process, which reduces ore mass by greater than 95 percent prior to leaching. This results in concentrated uranium with grades of about 10,000 parts per million uranium.
The company’s presentation released in mid-June outlines that its U-pgrade demonstration plant at the Koppies project will be operational by the end of 2025. Additionally, The company plans to begin a project study at Koppies in late 2025.
Shares of Elevate Uranium reached their 2025 peak on June 18 at AU$0.35.

ABOUT NORTH SHORE
The nuclear power industry is in growth mode as more nuclear power will be required to meet the world's ambitious CO2 emission-reduction goals and the needs of new power-intensive technologies like AI. In this environment, new discoveries of economic uranium deposits will be very valuable, especially in established uranium-producing jurisdictions like Saskatchewan and New Mexico (see news release dated June 24, 2025). North Shore is well-positioned to become a major force in exploration for economic uranium deposits. The Company is working to achieve this goal by exploring its Falcon and West Bear properties at the eastern margin of the Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan, expanding its exploration efforts to include the Grants Uranium District in New Mexico and by evaluating other quality opportunities in the United States and Canada to complement its portfolio of uranium properties. North Shore summarized exploration efforts at its Falcon property in a May 27, 2025, news release.
