Large Scale. Avg. production ~6Mlbs U3O8 / yr over a 10-year mine life
PEA Mine Plan Resource: ~68.8Mlbs U3Og at 289ppm (55% of existing resource)
Low Cost: US$17/lb LoM cash cost and
Low CapEx: ~US$300M initial capital
US$18/lb AISC5
NOTE: -30% of Total Mineral Resources are impacted by Concessions Issue
Optimization Opportunities
Ability to pre-concentrate / upgrade more than doubles uranium grades
Enables incorporation of additional resources into mine plan and strengthens
already robust economics
Tank leaching for increased recoveries
Initial capex reduction by re-scoping to phased expansion approach
Near Surface + Leach Kinetics
5 near surface deposits included in the PEA mine plan with low LOM strip ratio
Porous volcanic host rock allows for rapid leach and low acid consumption
Path to Production
Align existing Peruvian Radioactive Export/Transport rules with IAEA for U308
1. See IMPORTANT Cautionary Notes on slide 2 and 3; 2. Using US$50/lb uranium price; 3. At an average grade of 248ppm (75ppm U cut off); 4. At an average grade of 251ppm (75ppm U cut off); 5 Non-IFRS reporting measure.
*Refer to the "Macusani Project, Macusani, Peru, NI 43-101 Report - Preliminary Economic Assessment" as detailed on slide 2..
