Linx is the 80% owner of certain Prospecting Licenses comprising the Manyoni Uranium Project and the Octavo Uranium Project, both located in Tanzania (refer ASX announcement dated 12 March 2024).


HIGHLIGHTS
  • Moab has completed the acquisition of 81.85% of the shares of Linx Resources Pty Ltd, which boasts a diverse portfolio of advanced, large-scale uranium projects in Tanzania.
  • Moab has converted its loan to Linx of $521,000 to equity in Linx, bringing Moab’s ownership of Linx to 89.6%.
  • The Asset portfolio includes the Manyoni and Octavo Uranium Projects, covering a total of 216 km2.
  • Strategically located just 5km north of Manyoni town, the Manyoni Uranium Project enjoys convenient access to modern railway and sealed highway infrastructure as well as readily available power and water resources.
  • The Manyoni Uranium Project was previously explored, and extensively drilled, by Uranex Ltd from the early 2000’s until 2013.
  • Drilling to commence at the Manyoni project in August/September.
  • With approximately $1.9 million in cash and equivalents, Moab is well equipped to fund exploration and development initiatives.

Moab Managing Director, Malcolm Day commented “The completion of the acquisition of such high potential uranium projects is transformational for the Company. The fact that Uranex Ltd previously explored, and extensively drilled, the Manyoni Uranium Project from the early 2000’s to 2013 assists the Company greatly. There is a large volume of historic exploration data, including drilling data, that the Company has access to that will effectively save the Company a lot of time and money. The Fukushima disaster in 2011 had a dramatic impact on the uranium price, and thus most pre-production uranium projects worldwide were shelved. Given the current uranium price of circa US$85/lb, Moab is in the right place at the right time to re-evaluate the Manyoni Uranium Project and to commence exploration on the Octavo Uranium Project”.
