ENRG Elements Limited ( ASX:EEL ) (“ ENRG ” or the “ Company ”) is pleased to advise it has secured a three-year renewal for the three granted exploration permits comprising its 100%-owned Agadez Uranium Project (‘ Agadez’ or ‘ the Project ’) in Niger. The exploration permits, covering ~726km[2] , were renewed without any relinquishment and are now valid through to November 2027.

The renewal follows ongoing positive engagement between the Company and Mines Department officials in Niger. Most recently, successful meetings were held with the Nigerien Minister of Mines, Commissaire Colonel Ousmane Abarchi. where it was confirmed that the Niger Government remains committed to mining and exploration initiatives in country.

The Project is located in the Tim Mersoi Basin, one of the world’s major uranium producing areas. Since acquisition of the Project in May 2022, ENRG has undertaken extensive exploration, including a 5,500m drill campaign which led to a ~100% increase in the Mineral Resource Estimate at the Takardeit Deposit to 31.2Mt at 315 ppm U[3] O[8] for 21.5Mlbs U[3] O[8] , in the Inferred category.

Most recently, the Company also completed a ground survey and trenching program, which further validated the area’s geology and demonstrated the continuity of higher-grade mineralisation in the Mousseden formation. Assay results from the trenching program are expected to be released to the market shortly.
