Management and operating team with extensive uranium mine operations
experience, particularly with In-Situ Recovery (ISR), including stakeholder
engagement, approvals, operations, uranium marketing and contracting,
environmental and sustainable production.
Samphire Uranium project: South Australia
• Tier 1 uranium mining jurisdiction
– 5 mines approved
•
Flagship Samphire Project
- Significant ISR resource with
known expansion potential
- Staged long life project
• Coming to market late this decade
- Positioning to be the next uranium mine approved in
Australia
• Experienced USR uranium mining team
• Big Lake - new discovery for potential ISR project pipeline

Samphire Uranium Project: A highly competitive In-Situ Recovery Project
Resource Depth (~80-100m)
•
The right ISR conditions
•
18 Mlbs to support startup mining operation with staged expansion
(14.2Mlbs Indicated, 3.8Mlbs Inferred).
-
•
Second satellite deposit at Plumbush established – requires closer
spaced drilling to become a potential resource
Scoping study (14 Dec 2023) was conducted at US$75/lb which is below
today’s LT U price
-
12yr mine life at 1.2 Mlbs production rate per annum
-
Size and integrity ready for detailed well field and future mine design
•
Field Recovery Trial- Q4 2025-Q2 2026
•
Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) is expected to consider an increase in
production rate upwards from the current 1.2 Mlbs per annum used in the
December 2023 Scoping Study

Blackbush
The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Target is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient
exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a
Mineral Resource. The Exploration Target has been prepared in accordance with the 2012 Edition of the Australasian
Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (‘the JORC Code’)
Refer AGE ASX Release 7 December 2023 - Significant Exploration Target Range established, Samphire Uranium
Project, South Australia. https://wcsecure.weblink.com.au/pdf/AGE/02751150.pdf
•
Exploration Target includes extensions to mineralisation at Blackbush,
the Plumbush Prospect & areas of known mineralisation and potential
extensions.
•
Over 90kms of channel system.
•
72% of the prospective areas of the entire Samphire palaeochannel
system remain completely untested by drilling.
•
Significant potential for new discoveries and resource growth in the
Project area.
