Quarter Highlights
Alligator Energy Limited (“Alligator”, “AGE” or the “Company”) is pleased to release the 30
September 2024 Quarterly Activities Report.
Significant Highlights for the Quarter include:
Samphire Project
• Drilling around Samphire’s Blackbush resource continued with further additional
medium to high grade intersections within and outside the existing resource envelope.
• Alligator is awaiting advice from the SA Department for Energy and Mining regarding
the Samphire Retention Lease and field recovery trial proposal but understands this
is advancing.
• Expressions of Interest / tenders obtained from suitably experienced companies in the
Whyalla region for planned civil works and installation of pre-fabricated pilot plant.
Big Lake Project
• Inaugural drilling program completed early August comprising 27 holes for total 3,413
m and resulting in a significant new uranium discovery.
• Near economic grades of uranium detected in significant thicknesses (5 to 20m) of
sands by in-field XRF measurements. These have recently been confirmed with
laboratory assaying (refer ASX release dated 23 Oct 2024).
• Planning for second round of drilling well underway. Traditional Owner heritage
clearances organised for late 2024 to support a follow up drilling program targeted for
late 1Q 2025.
Nabarlek North Project
• Drilling program of 22 holes for a total of 3,526 m completed during the Quarter. This
included step-out drilling around northern extensions to the U40 prospect.
• Assays pending for the above program, though field observations suggest that only
minor, sub-economic intercepts of uranium were encountered.
• Reconnaissance mapping and sampling undertaken across the tenement holding,
particularly in northern sections, where limited work has occurred in the past.
• Work program for the remaining part of the field season to focus on ground truthing
previously identified high priority targets at the Tin Camp Creek Project.
Corporate and Uranium Market
• Cash balance at quarter end of $23.5 M.
• A further $228,993 equity capital injection was made in EnviroCopper Limited at a
subscription price of $2.71 per share. Minor amendments to the Shareholders’
Agreement are currently under negotiation.
• 2024 AGM scheduled for Friday 22 November 2024 in Adelaide.
• The spot U3O8 price ended the quarter at $82/lb (June 2024:$85/lb)
• The term U3O8 price traded in the US$79 to $81/lb U3O8 range for the quarter.
• Kazatomprom downgraded production due to difficulties in acid supply.
• Oracle, Microsoft, Amazon and Google all announced significant arrangement with
nuclear utilities for future assured reliable supply – re-affirming this new demand.

Plans for the forthcoming quarter:
•
Samphire
- Continuation of resource extension and step out drill testing, with updated Blackbush
resource targeted for 1st quarter 2025.
- Post RL approval, submission of a Program for Environmental Protection and Rehabilitation
(PEPR – the operating plan) for field recovery trial operations.
- Final selection of preferred Whyalla based construction contractor for pilot plant site
establishment.
- Continued work on certain optimisation studies (water, power, transport, logistics etc.)
required to be concluded prior to commencement of a feasibility study in 2025.
•
Big Lake
-
•
Traditional Owner clearances scheduled for late October for next drilling program.
Submission of an exploration PEPR to cover continued drilling works across EL6367.
Data integration of assays, 2024 drilling results and petroleum drilling data to refine
paleochannel model for 2025 drilling program on EL6367.
Nabarlek North / ARUP
-
Review of multi-elemental assays from drilling data once received.
Review of all new 2024 data to assess remaining prospectivity.
Preliminary planning for 2025 program.
Sampling and reconnaissance mapping at Tin Camp Creek.
MMP submission for possible target testing at the Tin Camp Creek project in future field
programs.
- Demobilisation of people and machinery from ARUP operations for 2024
•
Piedmont
- Continued marketing of the opportunity to acquire the Piedmont Project with the Company
preferring to focus on uranium and applications for the in-situ recovery (ISR) mining
technique.
- Small reconnaissance mapping program planned at Piedmont to (i) demonstrate to the
Provincial Government of our continued interest in the project area, (ii) test the efficacy of
regional stream sediment sampling in the alpine environment and (ii) determine whether the
extraordinary gold values returned from grab samples previously obtained at creek sites
north and south of the Gula Mine are ‘pervasive’. In the case of the latter, this presents an
ideal second-line of marketing for the Project, should anomalous gold values continue along
structural/strike controls at the Gula Mine-site.

Samphire Uranium Project Development
Drilling activities continued during the quarter with key activities comprising:
1) Rehabilitation of 14 sonic holes drilled late 2021/early 20221 required to be rehabilitated by November
2024), and
2) Drilling south of Blackbush West and Area 51 (west of Blackbush West) within the indicated resource
envelope to convert additional resource to the Indicated category in preparation for updated Blackbush
resource targeted for 1st quarter 2025.
The Samphire Retention Lease application continues to progress waiting advice from the SA Department for
Energy and Mining regarding the grant of the Samphire Retention Lease (RL). In parallel, the Program for
Environmental Protection and Rehabilitation (PEPR) is being drafted in readiness for submission post granting
of the RL. Once approved on-site installation and then operation of the field recovery can commence.
Site visits with four shortlisted construction contractors for civil works and on-site assembly of the FRT plant
modules has been undertaken with a view to select a suitable experienced company by end of Q4 2024.
Big Lake Uranium (BLU) Project
Exploration progress for the quarter includes:
•
Inaugural drilling program completed, with 27 holes for a combined total of 3,413 m. Fences of holes
were strategically placed centred on five areas to calibrate seismic/AEM interpretations and provide
confirmation of key elements to demonstrate a fertile basin uranium roll-front mineralisation model.
•
As per ASX release 23 October 20242, drilling at Area 10 on EL6367 returned significant thicknesses of
paleochannel sands and elevated uranium values. Four holes recorded uranium values at over 100
ppm, including two intersections within porous sands of greater than 20 m thickness (refer Figure 1 & 2
and table below).

•
Arrangements made with the Yandruwandha Yawarrawarrka Traditional Land Owners Aboriginal
Corporation to undertake additional site clearances in late October to set up for a 2025 drilling program.
•
The proposed 2025 drilling program will now include the use of a mud-rotary drill rig to allow for
acquisition of downhole geophysics and to test the Eyre Formation that underlies the Namba
Formation up to 400 m below surface. These largely uncemented and semi-consolidated sediments
of the Eyre Formation are a principal host for uranium mineralisation in the nearby Frome Embayment
district.
•
Additional stratigraphic drill-fences using an aircore drill rig to continue regional mineralisation modeltesting across the central tenure of EL 6367.
Alligator Rivers Uranium Province (ARUP)
Exploration progress for the quarter includes:
•
The new high resolution airborne magnetic and radiometric survey acquired earlier in 2024 was
supplemented with a third-party (Southern Geoscience Consultants) interpretation to assist with
planning follow-up drill programs in 2025.
•
The 2024 drilling program was completed in September, having drilled a total of 3,526 m of reverse
circulation in 22 holes in just two weeks. The program included 8 holes averaging 180 m depth to test
for northerly extensions of the U40 prospect, along with step-out drilling from AGE’s uranium intercept
reported last year3. Results from this drilling program will be reported in a forthcoming ASX release
upon receipt and analysis of assay results.
•
As previously reported, Alligator was successful in two co-funding applications with the NTGS to
partially cover geophysical survey and RC drilling costs for 2024. Costs for both programs are being
finalised with reimbursement to be sought from the Northern Territory Department of Mines before the
end of the year (up to $100 k/project, up to 50% of total costs).
•
The remainder of the 2024 field season will focus on mapping and surface sampling at high priority
targets previously identified at the Tin Camp Creek Project.
Piedmont Nickel Cobalt Project - NW Italy (Ni, Cu, Co – AGE: 51% JV)
•
Ongoing approaches made to seek interested parties on the opportunity to acquire 100% of the rights
to the Piedmont Project.
•
Tenement applications Castello di Gavala, Sella Bassa and Valmaggia covering a total area of 5,405
hectares were re-submitted for review/acceptance to the Piedmont Region (Local) Government. This
process was delayed whilst clarification was sought on changes to the responsible agency for issuing
non-mining licences in Italy. Community posting of the three new license applications will commence
shortly.

A small geological reconnaissance mapping program is planned for Piedmont this year to (i) test the
efficacy of regional stream sediment sampling (Figure 3) and (ii) determine whether the extraordinary
gold vales returned from grab samples previously obtained in stream sediment samples north and
south of Gula Mine are ‘pervasive’. In the case of the latter, this may present a value–add opportunity
should anomalous gold values be repeatable along strike and along interpretated structural controls
of the mineralisation outside of the old workings.

•
During the quarter EnviroCopper (ECL) completed the hydrological test work for the newly constructed
5 spot pattern wells and established an environmental baseline for the Kapunda Project lixiviant copper
extraction trial (work being funded by BHP). Planning for the trial continues ahead of receiving
regulatory approvals.
•
Three rotary mud drillholes were completed at ECL’s Alford West Project to determine hydrological
characteristics and to test weathered structurally controlled mineralisation for in-situ recovery
amenability. The drillholes to be used as injectors (2) and an extractor for the planned push/pull test
at this Project.

Early in the quarter, Kazatomprom revised forward guidance lower due to acid availability, now
expecting its 2025 production to be between 25,000 and 26,500 tU (down from 30,500-31,500 tU).
The Serbian government announced in July that the country is considering ending a 35-year-old ban
on nuclear reactors, opening the topic up to public debate to shake-up the country’s long-standing
energy policy.
Russia announced Putin is considering restrictions on exports of raw materials including uranium in
response to sanctions limiting imports of certain goods.
Kazatomprom’s CEO Meirzhan Yussupov told the FT that Russia's war on Ukraine is ‘making it harder
for to keep supplying the West’. The following month, Kazatomprom announced an agreement with
China’s CNUC and CNNC Overseas that, cumulative with the previously concluded transactions,
comprises fifty percent or more of the total book value of the company’s assets.
The Office of Nuclear Energy in the US released a report titled ‘Could the Nation’s Nuclear Power
Plant Sites Support New Reactor Builds’ showing that 41 operating and retired nuclear power plant
sites in the US have room to host one or more large light-water reactors which would create an
additional 60 GW of new capacity.
The US Department of Energy awarded contracts to process HALEU fuel for high-tech reactors, with
up to $US800 mil available over 10 years, to BWXT, Centrus, Framatome, GE Vernova, Orano and
Westinghouse.
At New York Climate Week, Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank, Ares Management, Bank of America,
Barclays, BNP Paribas, Brookfield, Citi, Credit Agricole CIB, Goldman Sachs, Guggenheim Securities
LLC, Morgan Stanley, Rothschild & Co, Segra Capital Management, and Societe Generale, stated
their recognition that global civil nuclear energy projects have an important role to play in the transition
to a low-carbon economy and expressed support for long-term objectives of growing nuclear power
generation and expanding the broader nuclear industry to accelerate the generation of clean electrons
to support the energy transition.
Microsoft and Constellation Energy signed a power deal to help resurrect a unit of the Three Mile
Island nuclear plant in Pennsylvania, citing electricity demand for data centers needed to expand
technologies like artificial intelligence and cloud computing.
Oracle’s Larry Ellison reported the company has building permits for three small modular nuclear
reactors to power an 800 MW datacenter intended to train one of the world’s largest AI models
Amazon announced multiple agreements in support of nuclear and SMR technology including:
-
“An agreement with Energy Northwest, a consortium of state public utilities, which will enable the
development of four advanced SMRs. The reactors will be constructed, owned and operated by
Energy Northwest, and are expected to generate roughly 320 megawatts (MW) of capacity for the
first phase of the project, with the option to increase to 960 MW total—enough to power the
equivalent of more than 770,000 U.S. homes”
-
“We’re also making an investment in X-energy, a leading developer of next-generation SMR
reactors and fuel, and X-energy’s advanced nuclear reactor design will be used in the Energy
Northwest project.”
-
“In Virginia, we’ve signed an agreement with utility company Dominion Energy to explore the
development of an SMR project near Dominion’s existing North Anna nuclear power station. This
will bring at least 300 megawatts of power to the Virginia region, where Dominion projects that
power demands will increase by 85% over the next 15 years.”

The model is reported unconstrained and above a 250 ppm U3O8 lower cut-off grade for all zones in
consideration of potential for recovery by in situ leach processes.
Estimation is by ordinary kriging for all mineralised zones.
Density is assigned as 2.05 t/m3 based on limited test work.
The model assumes agglomeration of 12.5mE x 12.5mN x [variable]mRL panels for definition of well fields
