Wiluna Uranium Project, Western Australia

  • Scoping study for the stand-alone Lake Maitland uranium/vanadium operation progressed during the quarter, with the strong results being released subsequent quarter end on 24 October 2022. Refer to Table 1 below and to the Company’s announcement of 24 October 2022 for further information in respect of the below estimates.
  • Key outcomes from the scoping study are very competitive and include:
    • NPV pre-tax of approximately $610M at a discount rate of 8%
    • Mine life of approximately 17.5 years
    • Modest CAPEX of US$189M (or A$270M) including contingency and EPCM
    • Rapid payback period of 2.5 years and IRR of 41%
    • C1* Cash operating cost of US$23.10/lb U3O8 over Life of Mine (LoM)
    • All In Sustaining Cost (AISC)# of US$28.02/lb U3O8 over LoM
    • Total EBITDA of A$1,768.6M
  • Opportunity to improve value by investigating the inclusion of Mineral Resources from three (3) nearby 100% owned Toro uranium deposits in any further studies.

Dusty Nickel Project, Western Australia

  • Third (3rd) massive nickel sulphide discovery, Jumping Jack, intersected on the Dusty Nickel Project in diamond drill hole TED37, as announced by the Company on 6 July 2022, and in TED38, as announced by the Company on 25 July 2022.
  • TED37 discovery intersection is 3.4m thick (downhole) from 240.3m downhole and includes a 1.4m thick lens of massive Ni-sulphide with blebby and semi-massive Ni-sulphides above the massive sulphide lens.
  • More massive nickel sulphides were also intersected at the Jumping Jack Discovery in follow-up diamond drill hole TED38, as announced by the Company on 25 July 2022. Multiple spot analyses using a hand-held portable X-Ray Fluorescence instrument (hh-pXRF) suggest local nickel concentrations within the massive sulphide of between 1.44 and 4.66% Ni in TED37 and 1.28 and 3.5% Ni in TED38.
  • Fourth (4th) massive nickel sulphide discovery, Dimma, intersected in diamond drill hole TED41, located approx. 400m SSE and along strike of the Jumping Jack discovery, as announced by the Company on 8 August 2022. The discovery intersection consists of 3.6m of massive Ni-sulphides from 244.1m downhole in diamond drill hole TED41, with almost all being massive in nature. A further two (2) intersections of semi-massive Ni-sulphides of approx. 20cm thick (downhole) intersected in hanging wall from 231 and 232.9m downhole.

HIGHLIGHTS (CTD)

  • The follow-up diamond drill hole at Dimma TED42 also intersected nickel sulphides which, inclusive of dilution, extend for some 20.5m and include 2.5m of continuous massive Ni-sulphide at its base from 314.7m downhole, 35cm of semi-massive Ni-sulphides from 296.5m downhole and disseminated Ni-sulphides between these zones, as announced by the Company on 6 September 2022. Multiple spot analyses using hh-pXRF suggest local nickel concentrations within the massive sulphide intersections at Dimma of between 1.45 and 3.66% Ni in TED41 and 1.0 and 3.1% Ni in TED42.

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.
