Tubas-TRS Deposit showing area with known red sand
Deposit Characteristics: Well-sorted windblown sand, low grade uranium Free flowing/weakly consolidated Large area along the Tubas palaeochannel Bulk of uranium in sub 20 µ fraction Uranium mineral almost exclusively carnotite At~150 ppm, generally considered uneconomic
Objective: Concentrate maximum uranium in minimum volume through physical beneficiation to enhance economics
Process:
Hydrosort®- II Scrubbing Hydrosort®- I 3 X Hydrocyclones Successful Pilot Plant Test: Hydrocyclone Schematic Simple process Uranium Recovery >80% Carbonate reduction >80% Mass pull between 10% ~ 20% Uranium upgrade factor 7.9 (at 10% mass pull) Process guarantee offered Product is easily leached (pH 2.5) and loaded onto resin New resource estimate and environmental clearance obtained The new resource, combined with the successful testwork, enables the TRS Deposit to be a standalone project

DYL is ideally positioned with two advanced stage uranium projects in Namibia:
-
The Omahola Project is the last remaining independent Namibian project with grades above 400 ppm U3O8. Its resource base continues to grow rapidly with ongoing exploration success.
-
The Tubas-TRS Project can bring earlier cashflow but can also supply the Omahola Plant.
==> picture [18 x 19] intentionally omitted <==
The successful conclusion of the Shiyela partner search will accelerate project development and allow DYL to focus fully on its high quality uranium portfolio.
