Commenting on Norfolk Metals, Executive Chairman, Ben Phillips, states:

“Norfolk has secured an exceptional opportunity in Argentina where we expect to see strong increase in positive sentiment from government, uranium explorers and investors throughout 2024. Las Alteras is surrounded by multiple uranium deposits to the east, west and south with historical mines located to the north and south. We are currently reviewing the historical drill information boarding the eastern block of Las Alteras where uranium has been delineated in the same structures as the flagship Cerro Solo deposit. This uranium trend is increasing as the holes approach Las Alteras ground making this area one of several priorities of our focus.”
