Quarterly Activities Report For period ending 30 September 2024

Toro Energy Limited (ASX: TOE) (‘the Company’ or ‘Toro’) is pleased to provide the following review of activities for the three month period ended 30 September 2024.


Highlights

Wiluna Uranium Project

  • Re-estimation of the Lake Maitland uranium (as U3O8) and vanadium (as V2O5) resources completed within a lower grade U3O8 resource envelope (see details below) to allow for the resources of Lake Maitland to be stated at a 100ppm U3O8 and V2O5 cut-off grade.
    • As a result the Lake Maitland Uranium-Vanadium resource can now be stated at a 100ppm U3O8 and V2O5 cut-off grade in alignment with the other deposits of the Wiluna Uranium Project.
    • This expands the Lake Maitland stated U3O8 resource by approximately 12% or 3.2Mlbs to 29.6Mlbs contained U3O8, with a reduction in average grade to 403ppm U3O8 (at a 100ppm U3O8 cut-off).
    • The stated Lake Maitland V2O5 resource expands by approximately 74% or 13.4Mlbs to 31.4Mlbs contained V2O5, with a reduction in average grade to 285ppm V2O5 (at a 100ppm V2O5 cut-off).
    • All of the Wiluna Uranium Project resources can now be stated at a 100ppm cut-off, resulting in an approximate 17% expansion of the U3O8 resources for the Project to 73.6Mlbs from the previous 62.7Mlbs, with a reduction in average grade to 381ppm U3O8.
  • Design phase for pilot plant commissioned by Toro for the Wiluna Uranium project nearing completion, to text the improved beneficiation and hydrometallurgical circuit developed by Toro at closer to production scale.
  • Pilot plant will test potential ore from all three uranium deposits (Lake Maitland, Lake Way and Centipede-Millipede) which could potentially underpin an expanded Lake Maitland operation.
  • Integration of re-estimated Lake Maitland vanadium resource into Lake Maitland uranium resource block model commenced after the end of the quarter, which is the start of preparations for a new scoping study update for a stand-alone uranium-vanadium mining and processing operation at Lake Maitland.

Corporate

  • Cash and liquid financial assets valued at approximately $11.2 million as at the quarter end.

URANIUM PORTFOLIO SUMMARY

Wiluna Uranium Project, Western Australia

Toro’s 100%-owned Wiluna Uranium Project is located near Wiluna on the Goldfields Highway, some 750km NE of Perth in Western Australia.

The Wiluna Project consists of the Lake Maitland, Lake Way, and Centipede- Millipede Deposits (see Figure 1). Together, these deposits of the Wiluna Uranium Project contain some 87.8 Mt grading 381ppm U3O8 for 73.6 Mlbs of contained U3O8 at a 100ppm U3O8 cut-off (JORC 2012 – refer to ASX announcements of 15 October 2015, 1 February 2016, 21 October 2019 and 30 November 2021).

This is in addition to the vanadium resource of 141.8Mt grading 286ppm V2O5 for 89.3Mlbs of contained V2O5 at a 100ppm V2O5 cut-off (inside the U3O8 resource envelope) as referred to above (JORC2012 – Inferred – refer to the Company’s ASX announcement of 21 October 2019).

Trump Admin Pushes for Uranium Stockpile Boost to Secure Nuclear Power Future

The US is stepping up efforts to expand its strategic uranium stockpile as Washington looks to shield nuclear power from supply risks tied to Russia and bolster domestic output.

Secretary of Energy Chris Wright told Bloomberg on Monday (September 15) that the Trump administration is determined to reduce US dependence on Russian-enriched uranium. It still accounts for about a quarter of the fuel used in America’s 94 nuclear reactors, which generate roughly 20 percent of the nation’s electricity.

“We’re moving to a place — and we’re not there yet — to no longer use Russian enriched uranium,” he said. “We hope to see rapid growth in uranium consumption in the US from both large reactors and small modular reactors. The size of that right buffer would grow with time. We need a lot of domestic uranium and enrichment capacity.”

Laramide Identifies Targets for 15,000 Meter Drill Program at Kazakhstan Uranium Project

Laramide Resources (TSX:LAM,ASX:LAM,OTCQX:LMRXF) announced that it has identified multiple target areas for a 15,000 meter drill program at its Chu-Sarysu project in Kazakhstan.

Uranium remains the company's primary focus, but the asset is also prospective for rare earths and copper.

“This inaugural exploration program for Laramide in Kazakhstan is targeting high-grade, large-scale uranium deposits, amenable to cost-efficient and environmentally responsible in-situ recovery mining, and within a district that already hosts infrastructure and producing operations, which provides clear cost advantages,” said President and CEO Marc Henderson in a press release shared on Monday (September 15).

Uranium.io Shakes Up Uranium Market With Launch of Real-Time Price Oracle

Uranium.io Shakes Up Uranium Market With Launch of Real-Time Price Oracle

Uranium-related financial instruments, such as ETFs, have outperformed bitcoin this year.

The crypto industry is not just about ETFs and price surges; it's also about tackling real-world market inefficiencies. The launch of Uranium.io's near-real-time uranium pricing oracle is a prime example of that.

Uranium.io, a platform tokenizing Uranium, unveiled its pricing oracle on Tuesday, aimed at addressing the price opacity issues in the uranium market.

North Shore Uranium (TSXV:NSU)

North Shore Expands Land Position at Rio Puerco

North Shore Uranium Ltd. (TSXV:NSU) ("North Shore" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has staked 27 additional mining claims (the "New Claims") at its Rio Puerco uranium project in northwestern New Mexico ("Rio Puerco" or the "Project"). The Project now includes 64 adjoining Bureau of Land Management ("BLM") claims.

In 2009, a historical uranium resource estimate of 6.0 million tonnes at an average grade of 0.09% eU3O8 for 11.4 million pounds of U3O8 was reported for Rio Puerco (the "Historical Resource"). Initial review of the historical data suggests the potential for in-situ recovery ("ISR") mining, the lowest cost method for producing uranium. The entire Historical Resource is located on the original 37 Rio Puerco claims (the "Original Claims"). Previously completed exploration work suggests that there is potential to expand the reported uranium mineralization on both the Original Claims and the New Claims.
