Atomic Eagle Limited (ASX:AEU) ( Atomic Eagle or the Company ) is pleased to report on its activities during the December 2025 Quarter.
Exploration Target Highlights Major Resource Growth Opportunity
In December 2025, Atomic Eagle released a major exploration update for its Muntanga Uranium Project in southeastern Zambia, outlining a substantial JORC Exploration Target of 82–150 Mt at 150–350 ppm U ₃ O ₈[5] , at a grade range of 150 – 350 ppm U ₃ O ₈ for approximately 40–100.5 Mlbs of uranium, in addition to its existing Mineral Resource base.
This Exploration Target encompasses multiple priority target areas, including Muntanga North, Muntanga East and Chisebuka, and reflects the significant underexplored potential of the 1,126km² licence package, as modern exploration techniques continue to define new opportunities.

The Company remains well funded with $19.2 million in cash, supporting an aggressive exploration strategy aimed at converting the exploration potential into an increase in mineral resources.
Results from Chisebuka Drilling
The Chisebuka prospect, within the broader Muntanga Uranium Project, is defined by a large radiometric anomaly that can be traced for approximately 4km along strike and is up to 1km wide. Chisebuka was drilled previously between 2007 and 2010, on a 400 x 100m spaced grid and indicated continuity of mineralised lenses between drill lines, from surface to approximately 110m depth.
During the quarter, Atomic Eagle commenced a maiden percussion drilling campaign at Chisebuka, targeting shallow uranium mineralisation identified from historical radiometric anomalies and recent geological interpretation. Chisebuka is located in the southernmost tenement of the Company’s large licence package (the Kariba Valley licence).
By the end of the quarter, drilling at the Chisebuka target concluded with a total of 69 holes completed. Results confirmed broad, near-surface uranium mineralisation, with standout intersections including[6] :
-
16.4m @ 1,036ppm U ₃ O ₈ from 13.5m;
-
20.2m @ 454ppm U ₃ O ₈ from 7.0m;
-
29.4m @ 439ppm U ₃ O ₈ from 32.2m;
-
40.1m @ 371ppm U ₃ O ₈ from 29.8m;
-
32.1m @ 343ppm U ₃ O ₈ from 34.6m;
-
13.5m @ 305ppm U ₃ O ₈ from 21.3m; and
-
43.6m @ 215ppm U ₃ O ₈ from 30.7m .
These results highlight Chisebuka’s potential for low-strip, open-pit style mineralisation.
In 2026, more drilling is planned to bring the drill spacing down to a 100m x 100m hole pattern to allow a potential mineral resource estimate to be completed.
Results from Muntanga East Drilling
Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company announced results from its maiden drill program at the Muntanga East target[6] . The Muntanga East target was drilled at a 100m x 100m spacing. It was the first major drill program at Muntanga East in 12 years and comprised a total of 75 holes for 4,799m.
The Muntanga East target was identified by the Company as being readily convertible into a Mineral Resource with a modest amount of drilling. Muntanga East is located on the Muntanga Mining Licence (13880-HQ-LML), 5km northeast of the Muntanga resource (9.1 Mlb U3O8) and 8km north-east of the Dibbwi East resource (29.6 Mlb U3O8).

The drilling realised significant intercepts including:
-
6.5m @ 1230ppm U ₃ O ₈ from 10.6m;
-
12.0m @ 501ppm U ₃ O ₈ from 38.7m;
-
14.5m @ 391ppm U ₃ O ₈ from 48.2m;
-
24.1m @ 323ppm U ₃ O ₈ from 13.4m, including 6.0m @ 706ppm U ₃ O ₈ from 24.0m; and
-
20.9m @ 236ppm U ₃ O ₈ from 14.0m.
These results outline shallow, flat-lying mineralisation in close proximity to the core resources underpinning the Company’s previous technical studies for the Project and build on the exploration success at the Chisebuka target.
A Mineral Resource Estimate will be released for Muntanga East in Q1 2026 following the receipt of assays from diamond drill holes.
CORPORATE
ASX RE-LISTING AND MERGER COMPLETION
In November 2025, AEU recommenced trading on the Australian Securities Exchange, following completion of the merger between ASX-listed Tombador Iron Limited ( Tombador ) and TSX-V-listed GoviEx Uranium Inc ( GoviEx ). The transaction repositioned the Company as a uranium-focused explorer and developer with assets in Africa, anchored by the 100%-owned Muntanga Uranium Project in Zambia.
RE-COMPLIANCE CAPITAL RAISING
AEU completed a $10 million re-compliance capital raising in conjunction with its ASX re-listing, with strong participation from institutional and sophisticated investors. Funds raised are being applied to accelerate exploration and drilling at the Muntanga Uranium Project, progress technical studies and provide general working capital.
BOARD AND MANAGEMENT CHANGES
In December 2025, Mr Phil Hoskins was appointed Chief Executive Officer, providing leadership continuity following the merger. Mr Hoskins previously served as Corporate Development Manager and brings over 15 years’ experience across exploration, development, project financing and operations, including senior leadership roles on African mining projects.
The Board, led by Non-Executive Chairman Govind Friedland, will continue to provide strategic oversight, supported by experienced directors and advisors with uranium and African resources expertise.
AEU also announced the appointment of Mr Chris Bath as Chief Financial Officer, effective 1 January 2026. Mr Bath is a highly experienced finance executive and Chartered Accountant, with more than 20 years of senior management experience. Throughout his career, Mr Bath has developed extensive expertise in financial reporting, commercial and strategic management, project evaluation and acquisition, capital markets, ASX compliance and corporate governance.
The Company thanked Ms Abby Macnish Niven for her valuable contributions during her tenure as Chief Financial Officer of Tombador Iron Limited and Atomic Eagle Limited over the last five years. Ms Macnish will continue in the role of Company Secretary, ensuring continuity in governance, compliance and corporate administration.

CASH POSITION
Following completion of the merger and capital raising, Atomic Eagle held $19.2 million in cash, providing a strong balance sheet to fund planned exploration programs and near-term corporate and technical activities.
ROYALTIES
During the quarter, the Company received net royalty income of $1.08 million from iron ore sales of direct shipping ore from the Tombador Mineracao Iron Project in Brazil, which was sold by the Company in December 2023. Future royalty payments are expected to be less as mine output declines and market factors impact production and sales.
USE OF FUNDS
Atomic Eagle was re-admitted to the official list of the ASX on 24 November 2025, following the completion of a capital raising of $10 million. The December 2025 quarter is included in a period covered by a Use of Funds statement in the Prospectus lodged with ASX under Listing Rule 1.1 condition 3.
A comparison of the Company’s actual expenditure since re-admission to 31 December 2025 against the estimated expenditure in the Use of Funds statement is set out below in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 5.3.4. The Company is on track to meet the planned business objectives detailed in the prospectus.
The Company notes that during this quarter, a number of one-off costs were incurred including redundancies and close-out of previous GoviEx liabilities associated with project financing and international arbitration costs for the Niger project. The Company expects general administration costs to trend lower in future quarters.

As disclosed in the prospectus, from 2007, GoviEx had previously focused on the exploration and development on the Madaouela Uranium Project in Niger (the Madaouela Project). The Madaouela Project was controlled 100% by the Nigerien mining company, Compagnie Miniere Madaouela SA, owned 80% by GoviEx and 20% by the Government of the Republic of Niger (the State).
The Madaouela Project previously included a mining permit for Madaouela I which was withdrawn by the Niger Ministry of Mines in July 2024. As a result of the withdrawal, currently Atomic Eagle no longer holds any rights to the mining permit, which reverted to the State and is now part of the public domain.
The Company commenced arbitration proceedings against the State under the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes Convention, asserting that the withdrawal breached obligations under applicable mining law in Niger and that the conduct was a breach by the State of its obligation to execute its undertakings in good faith.
In February 2025, the Company signed a letter of intent with the State, outlining a structured roadmap to negotiate a resolution to the dispute. As part of this process, GoviEx agreed to a temporary suspension to the arbitration proceedings while negotiations continue. Under new Company management, this process is ongoing at the date of this report.
