Production Starts at Alta Mesa Uranium Project, Texas

Key milestone comes just eight weeks after production started at Boss’ Honeymoon project in South Australia; Boss on track to become a ~3Mlbs-a-year producer

Boss Energy Limited (ASX: BOE; OTCQX: BQSSF) is pleased to advise that production has started at its 30 per cent- owned Alta Mesa In-Situ Recovery (“ISR”) Central Processing Uranium Plant and Wellfields (“Alta Mesa Project”) in South Texas.


Production is forecast to ramp up to a steady-state rate of 1.5Mlbs a year, with Boss retaining sale and marketing rights over its pro-rata share.

The Alta Mesa Project, consisting of over 200,000 acres plus the central processing plant and wellfields, is managed by experienced uranium producer, and 70% partner, enCore Energy Corp ("enCore") (NASDAQ: EU) (TSXV: EU).

The key milestone comes just eight weeks after the start of production at Boss’ 100 per cent-owned Honeymoon project, where commissioning is proceeding to plan and production is forecast to ramp up to 2.45Mlbs a year.

Boss acquired its 30 per cent interest in the Alta Mesa Project in February 2024 from enCore and its wholly owned subsidiary, enCore Energy U.S. Corp., a highly credentialed United States uranium developer and operator, for US$60 million cash (see ASX release dated February 27, 2024).

Boss Managing Director Duncan Craib said: “The start of production at the Alta Mesa Project is another key milestone in the implementation of our strategy to be a global uranium supplier with a diversified production base in tier-one locations.

“With operations now ramping up at both Honeymoon and Alta Mesa, we are on track to hit our combined nameplate production target of 3Mlbs of uranium per annum.

“Our timing could hardly be better given the increasingly tight supply and demand fundamentals in the uranium market.

“This highly favourable outlook was underpinned by US President Joe Biden’s recent signing of legislation to ban the importation of uranium products from Russia.

“This was a game-changing event for the uranium market and in particular for uranium projects in North America and Australia.

“Given that we are ramping up production in both locations and we have strong growth prospects at each one, Boss is very well positioned to continue capitalising on this huge opportunity”.

Sweden Moves to Lift Uranium Mining Ban Through Legislative Proposal

Sweden has announced plans to lift its seven-year ban on uranium mining, with a proposal to amend the Environmental Code and Minerals Act expected in parliament later this year. If approved, the changes would take effect on January 1, 2026.

The proposal follows the conclusions of a government inquiry completed in December 2024, which recommended that uranium be treated under the same legal framework as other concession minerals.

That recommendation was reviewed by the Council on Legislation in June 2025, clearing the way for parliament to consider a repeal.

Basin Energy Shifts Focus to Uranium Assets with District-scale Potential in Queensland

Basin Energy’s (ASX:BSN) recent acquisition of a significant landholding in the Mount Isa region of Northwest Queensland has propelled the company into Australia's uranium and rare earths exploration landscape, giving investors exposure to a cost-effective, district-scale opportunity, according to the company’s managing director, Pete Moorhouse.

“The Queensland opportunity provides direct exposure for district-scale wins from first-pass drilling with reverse circulation and aircore, so this is relatively cheap drilling on district-scale opportunities. Northwest Queensland, from the jurisdiction (perspective), is a real prime opportunity for critical minerals,” said Moorhouse.

The Basin Energy executive also noted that there are significant government initiatives in place at both the federal and state level to support the region’s growth, as well as recent M&A activity in the uranium space.

Cameco, Kazatomprom Production Cuts Stoke Uranium Market Tightness

Shares of Cameco (TSX:CCO,NYSE:CCJ) were on the rise after the uranium major announced it is reducing its annual production guidance due to expansion delays at the McArthur mine in Saskatchewan, Canada.

Instead of the projected 18 million pounds of U3O8 the company was aiming for from its McArthur River joint venture with Orano, the revised output tally reduces 2025’s production total to between 14 million and 15 million pounds.

In January, Cameco warned that delays at McArthur River — including slower-than-expected ground freezing, development setbacks and labor constraints — could affect its 2025 production outlook.
