GTI Secures Significant New Uranium Project In Wyoming, 10 Miles From Cameco’s Smith Ranch-Highland ISR Uranium Facility

GTI Energy Ltd (GTI or Company) is pleased to advise that it has secured unpatented mineral lode claims covering circa 8,000 acres (~3,500 hectares), known as the Lo Herma Project, in Wyoming’s prolific Powder River Basin uranium district (Figures 1 & 2) (Lo Herma Project).


Highlights

  • Significant mineral claims secured via staking of ~8,000 acres in Wyoming’s prolific Powder River Basin, ISR uranium district
  • Claims located within 10 miles of Cameco’s Smith Ranch-Highland ISR uranium production plant – the largest production site in Wyoming
  • Located in proximity to 5 permitted ISR uranium production facilities & several satellite uranium deposits, all within ~50 miles
  • Cameco’s president and CEO said demand for nuclear power is driving the “best fundamentals ever seen” for the nuclear fuel market1

LO HERMA PROJECT – LOCATION & BACKGROUND

The Lo Herma Project (Lo Herma or Project) is located in Converse County, Powder River Basin (PRB), Wyoming. The project lies approximately 15 miles north of the town of Glenrock (WY) and within ~50 miles of five (5) permitted ISR production facilities. These facilities include UEC’s Willow Creek (Irigaray & Christensen Ranch) & Reno creek ISR plants, Cameco’s Smith Ranch-Highland ISR facilities and Energy Fuels Nichols Ranch ISR plant (Figure 1). The Powder River Basin has an extensive ISR uranium production history and has been the backbone of Wyoming uranium production since the 1970s. Cameco’s Smith Ranch-Hyland operation has been the largest uranium production contributor, by a significant margin, in recent times (Figure 2).

GTI is expanding and diversifying its Wyoming uranium asset portfolio at a time when demand for nuclear power is driving the “best fundamentals ever seen” for the nuclear fuel market, according to Tim Gitzel, Cameco’s president and CEO1.

GTI Executive Director Bruce Lane commented“We are extremely excited about the potential of the newly staked Lo Herma property in Wyoming’s Powder River Basin. The project is located in Wyoming’s most prolific production district within 10 miles of Wyoming’s largest ISR uranium production site at Cameco’s Smith Ranch-Highland. We believe that Lo Herma has the potential to become a significant asset for GTI as we continue to build and diversify our Wyoming uranium portfolio.”

NEW CLAIMS SECURED AT THOR

GTI has successfully staked additional Lode Claims covering ~250 acres at the Thor project in the Great Divide Basin. The new claims abut the eastern section of the existing Thor claims & south of Thor’s state sections (Figure 3). The new claims are positioned on well mineralised trends identified during GTI’s drilling campaigns and are expected to allow GTI to extend the existing interpreted trend lengths into the new claim area.

Rigs Secured For Wyoming Uranium Drilling & Utah Fieldwork Completed

GTI Resources Ltd (GTI or Company) is pleased to advise that 2 mud rotary drill rigs have been secured for its planned drilling campaign at the Thor ISR uranium project in Wyoming’s Great Divide basin (Figure 1). As previously advised, GTI is on track to commence drilling during December. This maiden drill program is designed to confirm the grade and tenor of uranium mineralisation that was previously identified by Kerr McGee in the 1970’s & 80’s and to ultimately support definition of an economic uranium resource.

US to Spend US$2.7 Billion on Low-enriched Uranium from Domestic Sources

The US Department of Energy (DOE) said it plans to invest up to US$2.7 billion to strengthen the domestic nuclear fuel supply chain as part of President Joe Biden's Investing in America agenda.

In a request for proposals issued on June 27, the DOE said it is looking to buy low-enriched uranium (LEU) from domestic sources in order to enhance national energy security and create new jobs in the nuclear industry.

The DOE also wants to stimulate the development of uranium enrichment capacity in the US, and believes that this initiative will promote the safe and responsible buildout of facilities designed for this purpose.

About Laramide Resources Ltd.:

Laramide is focused on exploring and developing high-quality uranium assets in Australia and the western United States . The company's portfolio comprises predominantly advanced uranium projects in districts with historical production or superior geological prospectivity. The assets have been carefully chosen for their size, production potential, and the two large projects are considered to be late-stage, low-technical risk projects.

The Westmoreland project in Queensland, Australia , is one of the largest uranium development assets held by a junior mining company. This project has a PEA that describes an economically robust, open-pit mining project with a mine life of 13 years. Additionally, the adjacent Murphy Project in the Northern Territory of Australia is a greenfield asset that Laramide strategically acquired to control the majority of the mineralized system along the Westmoreland trend.

In the United States , Laramide's assets include the NRC licensed Crownpoint-Churchrock Uranium Project. An NI 43-101 PEA study completed in 2023 has described an in-situ recovery ("ISR") production methodology. The Company also owns the La Jara Mesa project in the historic Grants mining district of New Mexico and an underground project, called La Sal , in Lisbon Valley, Utah .
