MACUSANI URANIUM PROJECT

A Green Energy Enabler

Through our Macusani uranium project, our goal is to advance one of the world’s largest and lowest cost undeveloped uranium projects to help meet the world’s need for green, clean and efficient energy.

Project Highlights

Macusani Uranium Project Growth

Existing Deposits

Kihitian Complex

Regional Targeting

Macusani Uranium Opportunities

Processing

Tank leach option work to be advanced

Potential for better recoveries & shorter leach cycle

Capex/opex vs. recoveries trade off

Pre-Concentration

Potential economic improvement with size/screen sorting

Potential for less material handling, higher processed grades, reduced processing throughput and smaller plant footprint

Scalability

Phased expansion, smaller initial capex options to be reviewed

Growth

Near Mine Plan Resources

Project Resilience

High grade only option to be revisited in more detail

Optimization work on current PEA mine plan

Exploration

85% of exploration land package undrilled - untested targets for early follow-up

Additional target generation

Tax Model

Currently modeled as 3% NSR in PEA

Royalties are now sliding scale based on operating margin and applied to net income

Permitting clarity

Peru participating in ongoing discussions with Peruvian regulators around the legal framework for handling and exporting of radioactive material

Ministry focused on permitting clarity in near-term

Support

Presidential level support to implement permitting framework for Peru’s first uranium mine

Local communities in support, Baseline Study accepted, commencing EIA
