CEO Remarks

"With our uranium exploration and development projects in Wyoming and Colorado, together with our investments in uranium enrichment and small modular reactors, we are executing on our long-term strategy to develop capabilities in each of those sectors. We continue to actively explore value-accretive opportunities to expand our footprint into other sectors of the U.S. nuclear fuel cycle."
"In connection with our transformation, we also intend to spin-off our lithium assets into a separate entity in the coming months. This will allow our team to focus entirely on the nuclear fuel cycle while ensuring our lithium assets receive dedicated attention and resources. We look forward to sharing further details with shareholders in due course."
Name Change to Reflect Strategic Transformation
We have completely transformed the Company over the past year, by expanding our assets and investments in multiple sectors of the nuclear fuel cycle.
The recently completed acquisition of Global Uranium and Enrichment Limited provides the Company with one of the largest uranium resource bases in the U.S., together with one of the largest and most prospective uranium exploration projects in the prolific Powder River Basin in Wyoming - the Pine Ridge uranium project. In addition, we now have interests in uranium exploration and development projects in Colorado.
The Company is the largest shareholder of Ubaryon Pty Ltd ("Ubaryon"), developing their next generation uranium enrichment technology, with Urenco Limited as the second largest shareholder of Ubaryon.
The Company also invested in Kadmos Energy Services LLC ("Kadmos Energy"), which is developing small modular light water reactors using existing, proven and licensed technology and supply chains to meet the growing global electricity demand. Kadmos Energy intends to deploy SMRs based on existing technology positioning the Company to pursue SMR deployment on a potentially accelerated timeline relative to emerging reactor designs.
Strategic Priorities for 2026
The Company's strategic priorities for 2026 include:
- Advancing its portfolio of U.S. uranium exploration and development projects
- Supporting Ubaryon in the development of its uranium enrichment technology
- Assisting Kadmos Energy in the deployment of its small modular reactors
- Evaluating additional opportunities across the nuclear fuel cycle
- Pursuing the planned spin-off of the Company's lithium assets into a separate entity, with further details to be provided in due course
