Quarterly Activities and Cashflow Report December 2023

Toro Energy Limited (ASX: TOE) (‘the Company’ or ‘Toro’) is pleased to provide the following review of activities for the three month period ended 31 December 2023.

Highlights

Wiluna Uranium Project

• Significant progress made on Lake Maitland Uranium Project Extension Study, which involves evaluating the potential incorporation of material from Toro’s 100% owned Lake Way and Centipede-Millipede uranium deposits into a proposed processing operation at Lake Maitland.
• Strong potential exists to increase production at Lake Maitland with additional uranium resources from Lake Way and Centipede-Millipede. The study will evaluate whether this extends the potential processing of high-grade uranium resource well beyond the 7th year - a stand-alone Lake Maitland operation is expected to process 7 years of high grade material.
• The Extension Study includes a pit optimisation of Lake Way and Centipede-Millipede to determine economic cut-off grades based on latest long-term prices, exchange rates, operating costs & processing recoveries. Lake Maitland pit optimisation successfully increased potential production by 8Mlbs U₃O₈ and 11.9Mlbs V₂O₅ based on the price assumptions set out in the Lake Maitland stand-alone scoping study.
• Refresh and update of Lake Maitland Scoping Study, completed in 2022, commenced to evaluate financial outcomes using the latest more favourable commodity pricing and exchange rate guidance. The pit optimisation will also be assessed again.
• Cash and liquid financial assets valued at approximately $15 million as at 31 January 2024.

Corporate

• Fifty for one capital consolidation completed in December 2023 following shareholder approval at the Company’s 2023 Annual General Meeting.
• Two successful capital raisings completed:
  • In September 2023, prior to completion of the above capital consolidation, an A$4,224,100 placement (before costs) by the issue of 422,410,000 fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.01 per Share to institutional, sophisticated and professional investors together with one (1) free attaching listed option exercisable at $0.015 on or before 23 October 2023 for every two (2) shares subscribed for and issued.
