Additional Comments

Amarillo Grande covers 145 km long trend of uranium mineralization (near-surface, very good grades, leachable, potentially upgradeable at low cost) Amarillo Grande has three high-priority properties: Ivana, Anit and Santa Barbara. Results from the PEA (Preliminary Economic Assessment) include: CAPEX of US$128 million, 2 years construction and 13 years of production with an average mining rate (waste + mineralized material) of 13,000 tpd, processing throughput of 6,400 tpd, also as metallurgical recoveries of 84.6% for uranium and 52.5% for vanadium. High potential to add new resources thanks to high exploration potential.

Current Program
-
3,346 m RC drilling program complete at Ivana Deposit, partial results received:
-
Positive results from step-out drilling to the W/SW suggests the opportunity for expansion
-
Positive results within and at the margins of the deposit in areas of low drill density will facilitate upgrading of resources for future engineering studies
-
2023 leach testing on bulk sample: Alkaline leach stage recovered 96% of Uranium & 35% of Vanadium
-
4,500 m exploration drilling program underway at Ivana North & Ivana Central
-
Each target covers an area of approx. 4x7km
-
1,591m in 40 holes completed at Ivana North
-
2,637m in 43 holes completed in Ivana Central, with pending results
-
Continue the drilling program is being prioritized
-
New program initiated at regional targets:
-
Ivana East ––up to 1,200m RC shallow drilling program planned to test blind targets
-
Cateo Cuatro - RC drilling planned, following the Ivana East drill program
