Global Atomic Publishes Phase I Dasa Project Feasibility Study

 Global Atomic Corporation ("Global Atomic" or the "Company") (TSX: GLO) (OTCQX: GLATF) (FRANKFURT: G12) reports that it has published and filed the recently announced NI 43-101 compliant, Phase 1 Dasa Project Feasibility Study (the "Study").

The Study confirms that the Project is economically compelling, even at a price of US$35 /lb U 3 O 8 . Based on the Study, the strong uranium market and anticipated uranium supply deficits, the Board of Directors have made a production decision to proceed with the Dasa Project.

The Study is focused solely on Phase 1, primarily comprised of the Flank Zone, and represents the initial 12 years of the Project and less than 20% of the Dasa mineralization, which has been delineated through 160,000 metres of drilling since 2010. The Study is an update from the Preliminary Economic Assessment (the "PEA") filed in May 2020 and can now be found on www.SEDAR.com as well as the Global Atomic website ( www.globalatomiccorp.com ). The Study was completed by METC Engineering of Johannesburg, South Africa with contributions from Bara Consulting, Epoch Resources and Insight R&D.

As stated in the news release of November 15, 2021 , the Study estimates cash costs of $18.91 /lb U 3 O 8 inlcuding royalties, and an all-in sustaining cost of $21.93 /lb U 3 O 8 . Based on a U 3 O 8 price of $35 /lb, the after-tax NPV 8 was estimated at $157 million for an after-tax IRR of 22.7%. All monetary amounts are in U.S. dollars.

Stephen G. Roman , President & CEO commented, "The Phase 1 Dasa Project Feasibility Study is the culmination of a large body of work and thorough study by our consultants and internal team. On behalf of the Company's Board of Directors, I thank them all for their extraordinary work.

"Although uranium prices have improved since the 2020 PEA and are widely expected to continue rising, we purposely kept the base case for this Study at US$35 /lb for comparative purposes and to highlight the superior economics of Dasa compared to most uranium projects currently under development.

"The completion of this Study sets the stage for the Company to move forward with the construction of the mine, finalization of an agreement to ship development ore to Orano Mining during mine development, signing of initial offtake agreements and completion of financing to build the Dasa processing plant by the end of 2024."

Aura Energy Plans Swedish Uranium Collaboration as Country Makes Progress on Lifting Ban

Aura Energy (ASX:AEE) is planning to enter into a strategic collaboration agreement with Neu Horizon Uranium following discussions on overturning the uranium-mining ban in Sweden.

Executives from Aura recently visited Stockholm, where they spoke productively with members of the country's governing coalition about the benefits of lifting the uranium-mining moratorium.

The ban traces back to 2018, when Sweden changed its environmental code to prioritise renewable energy; the government also wanted to reduce reliance on foreign uranium and strengthen domestic and European energy supply.

Argentina’s Strategic Advantage as a New Frontier for Uranium Exploration

Argentina is emerging as one of the most compelling new frontiers for uranium supply, with the country’s National Atomic Energy Commission estimating about 80,000 tonnes of uranium as "exploration targets" across various geological environments. It offers a unique combination of geological potential, government support and existing nuclear infrastructure — all within a jurisdiction that is eager to expand its domestic resource base.

Global demand for uranium has increased in recent years, bolstered by renewed investment in nuclear energy and efforts to secure supply chains. Argentina’s pro-nuclear-energy stance and local technical expertise offer a promising new alternative for uranium exploration, as global demand for this critical mineral continues to soar.
