Positive Outcome of in Situ Recovery (ISR) Analysis for Likuyu North Deposit

Gladiator Resources Ltd (ASX: GLA)(Gladiator or the Company) is pleased to provide an update on an assessment of the mining by In Situ Recovery (ISR) for the Likuyu North Deposit at its Mkuju Uranium Project, located in southern Tanzania.

ISR is the preferred method for mining uranium deposits and accounts for over half of global uranium production¹
Lower capital, lower operating costs and less environmental impact are some of the typical advantages of ISR, versus conventional mining methods.
ERM Australia Consultants Pty Ltd (ERM) have completed an assessment of Likuyu North and conclude that the deposit is favorable for ISR.
Likuyu North can benefit from the development of Uranium One’s Nyota deposit which is less than 30 km to the north.
Further discoveries on the Project would further benefit the expected financial strength of an ISR operation.

Commenting on the drill results, Gladiator’s Chairman Greg Johnson said:

“The ISR assessment by ERM highlights the opportunity to develop Likuyu North. The geological and hydrogeological characteristics of the deposit appear to be ideally suited to ISR which can support significantly stronger project economics than is possible with conventional mining methods. That the deposit is close to the advanced stage Mkuju River Project operated by Uranium One provides optionality. We are optimistic that Likuyu North can deliver robust economics in today’s uranium market which is expected to strengthen further. We look forward to planning the next stage of work”.

The In Situ Recovery (ISR) Mining method

ISR (also known as ISL) accounts for over 50% of the world’s uranium production¹, all from sandstone hosted deposits such as Likuyu North. It involves the drilling of injection wells and production wells (or recovery wells) within the uranium deposit. The leaching solution (or lixiviant) is injected to react with the ore, dissolving the uranium. The uranium-bearing solution, known as the pregnant solution, is then brought to the surface for treatment and recovery of uranium.

Major 50% Upgrade Boosts Lo Herma Uranium Resource to 8.57Mlbs, Scoping Study Initiated

GTI Energy Ltd (GTI or Company) is pleased to update the uranium Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) at its Lo Herma Project (Lo Herma or the Project) located in Wyoming’s Powder River Basin (Figure 1). The MRE for the Project is focused on mining by In-Situ Recovery (ISR) methods and is reported at an appropriate cut-off grade of 200 ppm U₃O₈ and a minimum grade thickness (GT) of 0.2 per mineralised horizon as:

6.21 million tonnes of total mineralisation at average grade of 630 ppm eU₃O₈ for 8.57 million pounds (Mlbs) of eU₃O₈ contained metal classified as 2.78Mlbs of Indicated (32%) and 5.79Mlbs of Inferred.

Nick Hodge: Uranium and Gold Outlook for 2025, Plus Battery Passport Profits

In an interview at the New Orleans Investment Conference, Nick Hodge, publisher at Digest Publishing, discussed the growing prevalence of "battery passports" and the investment angle he sees there.

He also shared his thoughts on how to invest in uranium at this point in the cycle, saying that power-intensive artificial intelligence (AI) data centers are boosting demand for the commodity, which was already strong.

"I've been a uranium bull for a long time — our moment is here. You can't have AI without uranium," said Hodge.

Nuclear Fuels Aims to Boost US Domestic Uranium Supply Chain, CEO Greg Huffman says

Issues facing the global uranium supply chain have created a significant opportunity for emerging explorers and producers to leverage the growing demand for nuclear energy and build more secure and stable domestic supply chains.

In an interview with the Investing News Network, Nuclear Fuels (CSE:NF) CEO and President Greg Huffman said his company is strategically positioned to supply growing US uranium demand by advancing its uranium projects in Wyoming.

“We have massive, massive increases in terms of expected demand for uranium,” he said. “What we at Nuclear Fuels are focused on is being able to come up with new sources of domestic US uranium to help supply that increase in demand for nuclear power.”
