GTI Energy Ltd (ASX: GTR) (GTI or Company) is pleased to provide an update on its planned airborne geophysics program and progress towards reporting an Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE), in accordance with the JORC code 2012, at its 100% owned ~12,000-acre Lo Herma ISR Uranium Project in Wyoming’s Powder River Basin uranium district (Lo Herma) (Figure 2).
Highlights:
- Airborne geophysics survey has commenced at Lo Herma with aircraft expected to move to Green Mountain & Loki West in due course
- The geophysical survey is designed to advance & prioritise exploration targets
- Additional historical data secured for Lo Herma to enhance exploration potential
- All 1,445 historical drill logs now digitised & compiled in the Lo Herma resource model
- Lo Herma maiden mineral resource estimate report due 1st week of July
- Lo Herma initial drill targeting completed with permitting ongoing for verification & exploration drilling campaign during late 2023 or 1st half 2024
AIRBORNE SURVEY
The airborne geophysical survey has now commenced after delays caused by weather, aircraft repairs and FAA approval. The survey has commenced at the Company’s Lo Herma project area and will, in due course, move to the Loki West and Green Mountain project areas (Figure 2). Terraquest Ltd are conducting the survey using a Piper-Navajo twin engine aircraft (Figure 1) loaded with a suite of sensors that provide detailed radiometric, magnetic and electromagnetic data, allowing for correlation between the three products to further refine the Company’s high- priority targets and potentially locate new targets for upcoming drill programs. The survey sensing package includes a Resolution Magnetometer, Horizontal Gradiometer, Max Gamma Radiometer and Matrix VLF-EM sensors.
Uranium mineralisation at Lo Herma, Green Mountain and Loki West is sandstone hosted. The airborne geophysics is expected to help define major sandstone channel systems which, coupled with historical drilling data and radiometric anomalies, will aid in refining drill target definition.
Executive Director Bruce Lane commented “this airborne geophysical survey is an important component of our program to advance our 100% owned Lo Herma, Loki West & Green Mountain Uranium Projects. The airborne survey follows the results of our recent historical drilling analysis and ground reconnaissance programs that have highlighted high-quality exploration targets at all three project areas. This survey is also expected to help further refine & confirm drill targets ahead of planned drilling at Lo Herma during late 2023 or the first half of 2024.”

LO HERMA PROJECT – ADDITIONAL HISTORICAL DATA
The Company has secured additional historical data, relating to Lo Herma, containing scanned original drill hole maps, internal memos, drill hole logs with assay data, and interpretive geological cross sections and trend maps produced by Pioneer Nuclear Inc. (Pioneer) and partners, responsible for exploration work at the Lo Herma project site during the 1970’s & 80’s.
Of particular interest is an interpretive geological roll-front trend map collection, which represents redox trend projections and roll front mapping. These maps are of the same series that were included with the original Lo Herma data package and fill a gap in the original data package. This data will allow for a more comprehensive understanding of the geological interpretations of almost a decade of exploration activity. This is expected to aid in the development of additional exploration targets in the lesser explored sand units across the project.
A preliminary breakdown of the data package contents follows:
- 22 Geologic interpretive trend maps
- 29 Detailed drill hole collar maps including mineral intercept summaries
- 38 Geologic cross sections with gamma logs in section
- 12 Claims maps with limited accompanying information
- 9 reports and memos
- 7 Core hole drill logs with assay data, physical properties, & petrological descriptions
The data has been scanned and combined into the Lo Herma database for interpretation and inclusion in the impending JORC 2012 resource report for the project.
Work is continuing on permitting for the planned drill program. Interpreted results of the airborne geophysical survey will also be integrated into the geological & resource model for the deposit when the results come to hand in the coming weeks.

American Uranium
Investor Insight
American Uranium presents an intriguing opportunity for investors seeking exposure to the uranium sector, given its focus on ISR projects in the US aligning well with macro trends in the nuclear energy industry and geopolitical shifts favouring domestic uranium production.
Overview
American Uranium Limited (ASX:AMU) is an Australia-based uranium exploration and development company focused on uranium projects in Wyoming, USA, that are amenable for in-situ recovery (ISR). In uranium mining, ISR is the lowest cost and least environmentally damaging form of uranium recovery, especially when alkaline leach and ion exchange processes are utilised.
The company’s flagship Lo Herma project in the Powder River Basin is a sandstone-hosted roll front uranium deposit, which contains a recently updated mineral resource of 8.57 million pounds (Mlbs) of U₃O₈ at an average grade of 630 parts per million (JORC 2012 compliant), with a substantial additional exploration target in the range of 6 to 11 Mlbs –American Uranium recently completed an interim Scoping Study on this project.American Uranium also holds projects in the Great Divide Basin (inferred resource of 1.66 Mlbs) and Green Mountain areas of Wyoming, as well as earlier-stage conventional uranium/vanadium assets in Utah. As of the latest update, American Uranium has delineated total combined uranium resources of 10.23 Mlbs (indicated and inferred) and combined exploration targets ranging from 12.14 to 15.21 million tonnes across its Wyoming projects.
Wyoming’s ISR uranium processing assets and American Uranium project locations
American Uranium is positioning itself to take advantage of the worsening uranium supply deficit and rapidly growing demand for uranium, particularly from the United States. The US remains the world’s largest consumer of uranium but imports over 95 percent of its supply. American Uranium’s strategy centres on developing low-cost ISR uranium projects in Wyoming – historically one of the most productive uranium regions in the US – with established infrastructure, regulatory support, and proximity to existing ISR processing facilities.
The uranium market is experiencing a serious supply deficit and a significant resurgence in demand driven by several factors:
- Supply constraints following decades of underinvestment and an overreliance on Russian and Kazakh supply chains;
- Rapid growth in global electricity demand and recognition of nuclear energy as a clean baseload source aligned with decarbonization targets;
- Geopolitical realignment leading to a bifurcated uranium market, with the US banning imports of Russian nuclear fuel as of August 2024, intensifying the urgency for domestic supply security;
- Accelerating momentum for SMRs (Small Modular Reactors), nuclear restarts, and new gigawatt-scale builds in the US and abroad.
In the United States specifically, there is bipartisan policy support for revitalising the domestic uranium industry. Key initiatives include the formation of a strategic uranium reserve, over US$6 billion in grants for existing nuclear facilities, and tax incentives for new builds under the Inflation Reduction Act. Additionally, the US Department of Energy has called for tripling US nuclear capacity to 300 gigawatts by 2050. Demand signals are also coming from private sector growth, particularly AI-driven data centre development and long-term net-zero pledges by institutional investors and banks.
American Uranium's project strategy
In the longer term, American Uranium recognises the value potential of consolidation within the fragmented US uranium sector. The company remains open to strategic partnerships, joint ventures or merger and acquisition opportunities that could accelerate its development timeline, enhance scale, and unlock synergies. Such initiatives could ultimately strengthen American Uranium’s path to production and improve its overall value proposition to shareholders.
Company Highlights
- American Uranium is focused on ISR-amenable uranium projects in Wyoming, USA.
- American Uranium has completed an interim Scoping Study on its flagship Lo Herma project in the Powder River Basin which contains a recently updated mineral resource of 8.57 Mlbs of U₃O₈ at average grade of 630 ppm.
- American Uranium also holds drill permitted projects with defined resources and exploration targets in the Great Divide Basin and Green Mountain areas in Wyoming, and uranium-vanadium assets with significant recent exploration data in Utah.
- To date, American Uranium has delineated total combined uranium resources of 10.23 Mlbs (indicated and inferred) and substantial combined exploration targets in the range 12 to 20 Mlbs across its Wyoming projects.
- Wyoming is a historically significant uranium producing region with existing infrastructure and a supportive regulatory environment.
- American Uranium is well-placed to take advantage of the worsening uranium supply deficit and rapidly growing demand for uranium, particularly from the United States, the world’s largest consumer of uranium.
Key Projects
Wyoming Uranium Projects
American Uranium's focus on Wyoming ISR projects positions it well to capitalize on trends in the uranium sector. ISR mining is generally faster to build, lower cost, and more environmentally friendly than conventional mining methods. Wyoming has a long history of uranium production and hosts current producers and several additional permitted processing facilities, potentially allowing for rapid development of new projects.
The Wyoming projects – comprising the Lo Herma, Great Divide Basin, and Green Mountain projects – are located in the Powder River and Great Divide Basins.
JORC Resources and Exploration Targets
Lo Herma
The company’s exploration work is currently centered on advancing its 100 percent owned flagship Lo Herma project, where drilling in 2023 and 2024 successfully verified and expanded the historical drill hole database. As of December 2024, the project hosts a JORC-compliant mineral resource estimate of 8.57 Mlbs of U₃O₈ at an average grade of 630 ppm, comprising 2.78 Mlbs indicated and 5.79 Mlbs inferred.
The Lo Herma project is located just 10 miles from Cameco's Smith Ranch-Highland facility – the largest ISR uranium plant in the United States – and is ideally situated for potential future production synergies. In addition to the current resource, the company has defined an exploration target of 6 to 11 Mlbs, with over 950 drill holes completed across the project area.
American Uranium completed hydrogeologic field testing and metallurgical leach studies during the March 2025 quarter. Results demonstrated that Lo Herma mineralisation is amenable to alkaline ISR recovery with uranium recoveries averaging 75 percent, consistent with other ISR operations in the district.
Following the successful completion of these studies, American Uranium delivered an interim scoping study in Q2 2025, managed by BRS Engineering. The study confirmed the project’s potential viability and outlined attractive baseline economics for both central processing and satellite mining development options. The company is now finalising plans for a follow-up drilling campaign in H2 2025. This next phase will include infill and step-out drilling to increase overall mineral resources and upgrade resource classification, while collecting further hydrogeological and metallurgical data.
Great Divide Basin and Green Mountain
The company continues to progress its additional Wyoming projects, including the Great Divide Basin and Green Mountain areas. Drilling is permitted for 2025, positioning American Uranium to unlock further value across these strategic tenements.
The Great Divide Basin project includes the Thor, Logray, Loki, Odin, Teebo and Wicket claims. It holds a JORC inferred mineral resource of 1.66 Mlbs of U₃O₈ at 570 ppm, and a defined exploration target of 6.55 to 8.11 million tonnes grading 420 to 530 ppm. The area benefits from significant historical exploration data and proximity to major uranium infrastructure, including Ur-Energy’s Lost Creek plant and Rio Tinto’s Sweetwater Mill.
American Uranium ’s footprint in this region was expanded by acquiring the Green Mountain project, which includes 5,585 hectares of contiguous claims directly adjoining Rio Tinto’s tenements. Historical drilling and geophysical surveys confirm the presence of uranium mineralisation in sandstone-hosted roll fronts within the Battle Springs formation.
Green Mountain lies adjacent to notable regional projects including Energy Fuels’ Sheep Mountain (30 Mlbs), Ur-Energy’s Lost Soldier, and UEC’s Antelope deposits, positioning American Uranium near major development and production infrastructure in the basin.
Utah
Henry Mountains Uranium Project
American Uranium’s Henry Mountains project in Utah is a brownfields uranium-vanadium opportunity located within the prolific Colorado Plateau uranium province. Exploration has focused on a 5 km mineralised trend between the Rat Nest and Jeffrey claim groups, including the Section 36 state lease.
Uranium and vanadium mineralisation in this area is shallow – typically 20 to 30 metres deep – and has historically supported significant production. Since 1904, the district has yielded more than 92 Mlbs of U₃O₈ and 482 Mlbs of V₂O₅ from sandstone-hosted ores. The project remains a strategic asset with future development or transactional optionality as American Uranium advances its Wyoming portfolio.

Disrupting the uranium supply chain through highly prospective ISR projects in Wyoming
Term Sheet to Treat Colorado Project Uranium Waste Dumps and Gross Revenue Sharing Agreement with DISA Technologies
Highlights:
- Standard to be paid a Gross Revenue Share of any saleable uranium and other critical mineral concentrates recovered from waste at its Colorado Projects via deployment of DISA's modular mobile plants utilising the patented High-Pressure Slurry Ablation ("HPSA") system.
- No capital expenditure or operating expenditure is payable by Standard or Thor.
- Thirteen separate prospective waste dumps have been ground surveyed at Standard's Colorado Projects; others may be added to this inventory over time.
- Standard to receive a percentage of gross product sale revenue stream, minus certain post-treatment allowable costs. A sliding scale with a base rate of 2.5%, through to 4.0% in certain metals pricing environments.
- DISA will be the operator of the Colorado Projects and to pay all associated costs of economic evaluation, permitting, treatment and ongoing remediation.
Advantages of HPSA:
- The High-Pressure Slurry Ablation ("HPSA") process treats surface dumps of previously partially mined and aggregated material.
- DISA has been working with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) since 2021 on a robust licensing process, which is expected to conclude soon. This would make DISA the first company to receive a Service Providers License (SPL) to remediate abandoned uranium mine waste.
- Aside from extracting valuable uranium and critical minerals, the process delivers significant improvements to the local environment and watersheds by removing, on average, 90% of the uranium and radium-226 content from the waste, as evidenced by a treatability study DISA completed with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency1.· Strong US Government support for domestic recovery of uranium and critical minerals from legacy mine waste. This activity is directly in line with the recent Secretarial Order from the Department of the Interior (Order No. 3436: Unlocking Critical and Strategic Minerals from Mine Waste, Cutting Red Tape, and Restoring American Dominance in Strategic Mineral Production).
Next Steps:
- Characterisation program with a combination of assay and gamma probe to determine likely quantities of uranium and other recoverable minerals present in the waste dumps and economic evaluation.
- Application and completion of all requisite permits needed to commence treatment of waste and recovery of payable concentrates using HPSA technology.
- Future potential sale of metals concentrates and payment of gross revenue to Thor via Standard.
- Parties will immediately move to finalise and execute a more detailed binding agreement and complete any outstanding conditions precedent to the transaction.
Alastair Clayton, Chairman, commented:
"We are pleased to announce the Term Sheet executed with DISA today to help facilitate Thor potentially becoming revenue-generating from US uranium and critical metals production. Moving our US uranium projects forward in a non-dilutionary manner has been a priority for some time. DISA is a world leader in its materials upgrading technology, and its patented HSPA process is considered a revolutionary, non-chemical technology.
"Importantly, DISA's NRC licensing process is expected to conclude soon. This would make DISA the first company to receive a Service Providers License to remediate abandoned uranium mine waste, a hugely appealing regulatory framework. A major benefit is that the process does more than just extract value, it also leaves behind a substantially improved local environment by remediating these historic legacy sites. Thor looks forward to working with DISA going forward as we move towards generating revenue from these recycled materials."

Saga Metals
Investor Insight
A diversified critical minerals exploration company driving value from a world-class titanium-vanadium-iron discovery at its Radar project in Labrador, while developing high-potential uranium and lithium assets in Canada’s top jurisdictions. A partnership with Rio Tinto (ASX:RIO,NYSE:RIO,LSE:RIO) further strengthens Saga’s position in the global green energy transition.
Overview
Saga Metals (TSXV:SAGA,OTCQB:SAGMF,FSE:20H) is a Canadian mineral exploration company with a diversified portfolio of critical minerals assets in top-tier mining jurisdictions. The company’s flagship Radar titanium-vanadium-iron project in Labrador recently delivered significant drill results setting the stage for what could become a globally significant vanadiferous titanomagnetite (VTM) opportunity.
Early drilling has confirmed thick, high-grade layers of mineralization containing titanium, vanadium and iron — three metals essential to steelmaking, aerospace, defense and new energy storage technologies. The project covers the entire Dykes River intrusion, a large mineral system on par with some of the world’s best-known titanium-vanadium operations, such as Panzhihua in China and Tellnes in Norway. Geophysical surveys and drilling suggest that only a fraction of the 20-kilometre mineralized trend has been tested so far, leaving huge upside for further growth.
While Radar is currently the primary focus, Saga also maintains exposure to uranium and lithium through the Double Mer uranium property in Labrador and the Legacy lithium JV with Rio Tinto in Quebec. This balanced portfolio positions Saga to benefit from multiple high-demand supply chains supporting the global energy transition.
Company Highlights
- Globally Significant Titanium-Vanadium-Iron Project: Newly confirmed high-grade titanomagnetite discovery at Radar project with an inferred 20 km oxide layering strike within the Dykes River intrusion.
- Drill intercepts at Radar include up to 43 percent iron, 9.4 percent titanium dioxide (TiO₂) and 0.66 percent vanadium oxide (V₂O₅).Claims have been expanded to secure the entire titanomagnetite-bearing intrusion.
- Rio Tinto JV: A C$44 million option agreement with Rio Tinto Exploration Canada to advance the Legacy lithium project in James Bay, Quebec, part of North America’s newest lithium district.
- Double Mer Uranium Project: Drill-ready 25,600-hectare project covering an 18 km uranium-rich trend, with U₃O₈ grades up to 0.43 percent and scintillometer readings up to 27,000 cps.
- Diversified pipeline: Additional North Wind iron ore property in the Labrador Trough with historical grades up to 75 percent iron oxide (Fe₂O₃) in surface samples.
- Strong leadership with a track record across mining, exploration and capital markets.
Key Projects

The Radar project is Saga’s current flagship asset located ~10 km from Cartwright, Labrador. With the potential to become a globally significant VTM discovery, the project covers 24,175 hectares over the Dykes River intrusion, a billion-year-old layered mafic complex comparable in scale to Greenland’s Skaergaard intrusion and analogous to globally recognized VTM systems at Panzhihua (China) and Tellnes (Norway).
Project Highlights:
- 2025 maiden drill program confirmed continuous titanomagnetite layers with intercepts grading up to 43 percent iron, 9.4 percent TiO₂ and 0.66 percent V₂O₅. Titanomagnetite-rich intercepts averaged 20 to 40 percent, with massive layers exceeding 60 percent.
- Expanded claims now secure the entire 160 sq km titanomagnetite-bearing intrusion.
- Geophysical work linked the oxide-rich layering over >20-km strike with magnetic high anomalies, ground-truthed by drilling and mapping.
- Winter 2025 drilling in the Hawkeye Zone, guided by 3D magnetic inversion and VLF-EM, intersected a 300- to 400-m thick titanomagnetite-rich sequence. The highest V₂O₅ assays correlate with these thicker bands, pointing to a major magmatic pulse.
- At the Trapper Zone, summer geophysics revealed a 3-km continuous anomaly with magnetic readings up to 115,500 nT, among the highest recorded, highlighting exceptional mineralization potential.
- Mineralogical studies confirm ilmenite inclusions within magnetite, suggesting metallurgical simplicity and potential for a combined vanadium-titanium-iron concentrate, echoing vertically integrated operations like Panzhihua.
- Supported by excellent infrastructure, including road access, deep-water port, hydroelectric power and an airstrip near Cartwright, Labrador.
- Strong community collaboration, with the Mayor of Cartwright issuing a formal letter of support, and local workers engaged in field programs.
