Under revised terms negotiated with Skyharbour, Valor will issue SkyHarbour 30,000,000 shares and make a C$50,000 cash payment to complete the second earn-in milestone, with C$5,000 to be paid immediately and the balance within 60 days of this announcement.

Valor has also completed its expenditure commitments under the earn-in, being C$3.5 million over a 3-year period. Following the drill campaign completed in 2022, together with the airborne gravity survey completed last year, the Company has met its exploration expenditure commitments under the agreement.

The final payment of C$175,000, due in February 2024, is the last hurdle before the Company earns its 80% interest in the Hook Lake Project.

Valor Executive Chairman, George Bauk, said: “This part of the Athabasca Basin continues to be a focus of significant uranium exploration activity, particularly since the recent discoveries by 92 Energy (ASX:92E) and Baselode Energy (TSXV: FIND) at Gemini and ACKIO, located just 30km to the north of Hook Lake.

“The Hook Lake Project has a large number of prospective targets identified by last year’s airborne gravity survey (see announcement on 21 September 2022 titled “Eleven new targets in the Athabasca Basin uncovered through modern exploration surveys”). Work has been completed in 2022 to review all of the newly-acquired exploration data resulting in confirmation of a number of priority targets that will continue to be worked up to drill target status.

"The most significant of the 11 targets include V-Grid, West Way (-1, -2, -3) and Thompson Lake, where gravity lows have been identified and are near coincident with uranium radiometric anomalies or north-south Tabbernor fault structures, as shown in Figure 2 below.”

From Nuclear to Blockchain: How xU3O8 is Reimagining Uranium Ownership

xU3O8 has reached a key milestone with the listing of its uranium-backed token across major crypto exchanges, opening the door for investors to gain direct exposure to uranium at a time when demand is accelerating, said Arthur Breitman, co-founder of Tezos, which provides the blockchain platform for xU3O8.

“xU3O8 is a tokenized asset. It represents tokenized beneficial ownership in uranium oxide,” Breitman explained. “And the platform uranium.io allows people to come in and then buy this tokenized ownership in uranium, which can be interesting for people interested in owning the commodity.”

Breitman also explained the advantages of buying tokenized uranium versus investing in uranium stocks or uranium funds.

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.
