Tumas PFS Delivers Robust Results
-
Highly positive PFS completed on the Tumas palaeochannel project
-
PFS focused on a Langer-Heinrich style open-pit mining operation, with a production capacity of 3Mlb U3O8 per annum
-
PFS results are in line with, and in some cases better than, assumptions from the 2020 Scoping Study, highlighting a strong economic case for Tumas
-
Following completion of the PFS, the Board has approved proceeding directly to a DFS
-
DFS to confirm technical and potential economic viability of the Tumas Project and achieve the stated goal of a +20-year LOM operation
-
Development of Tumas is being advanced in line with forecasts of significant uranium price improvements expected from 2022, in anticipation of a looming uranium shortage likely late 2023/24

A Standout Uranium Team
A highly-credentialed and experienced team (majority ex-Paladin Energy) with proven success in the uranium sector, strong project development, operational and corporate capabilities Successfully worked together in the past covering technical, innovation, marketing, finance, corporate, governance, legal and sustainability areas
Team built and operated two innovative conventional uranium operations, including the Langer Heinrich mine in Namibia
Only team to accomplish this from 1982 to 2019, other than the latest build in 2016 by CGN on its Namibian Husab operation
Grew Paladin from a market capitalisation of A$2M to A$4Bn – pre-Fukushima

The Tumas Project comprises of Tumas 1, Tumas 1 East, Tumas 2, Tumas 3, Tumas 3 East and Tubas deposits
Located in the Company’s 100% owned Reptile tenements in Namibia
Exploration since early 2017 has been very successful, increasing the resources over threefold at an impressive discovery cost of 11.5cents/lb (A$)
Total Tumas calcrete resource base of 110Mlb eU O at a 3 8 100ppm cut-off grade
52.6Mlb eU3O8 at 245ppm are of the Indicated JORC category and occur in the Tumas 1, 2 and 3 deposits
To date, only 50% of the total mineral resource base and 50% of the highly prospective 125km Tumas palaeochannel system has been tested
Geology of the mineralisation is similar to that mined at the Langer Heinrich operation which is very well understood by the Deep Yellow team

Key PFS Outcomes
-
Successfully evaluated the viability of the Tumas deposits, within a 30km radius of a proposed purposebuilt processing facility
-
PFS based only on 50% of the total Mineral Resources available on Tumas
Remaining 50% of Mineral Resources will be considered for conversion as part of the DFS
- Established a maiden Ore Reserve which includes 40Mt of ore at an average grade of 344ppm U3O8, containing 31Mlb U3O8 of Probable Reserves
Impressive 63% conversion rate from Indicated Mineral Resources to Probable Reserves
-
Assumed a flat uranium price of US$65/lb in line with TradeTech forecasts
-
Results and findings of the PFS have met the objectives required and outlined a Project with strong economic and growth characteristics

DFS to Commence Immediately
-
Sufficient confidence for future development of the Tumas Project to justify immediate commencement of a DFS
-
Many unoptimised areas remain, representing significant potential for economic improvement. These include:
-
Mine scheduling
Increase in Ore Reserves
Treatment process and balance
Ore treatment rate
Additional Mineral Resource identification
-
DFS to pursue an expanded Project target by incorporating the remaining 50% of the Total Mineral Resources into the Ore Reserve model, to achieve the stated goal of a 20-year LOM operation
-
Expected completion of the DFS by end of CY2022
==> picture [151 x 39] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [51 x 109] intentionally omitted <==
Key DFS Activities
- Immediate commencement of 15,000m drilling program (February to May 2021), focussed on converting the remaining Mineral Resources in the Tumas Central, Tumas 3, Tumas 1 East deposits to Ore Reserve status:
February: Drilling Tumas 3 West (300 to 350 holes, 4,500 to 6,000m) March: Drilling Tumas 3 East (250 to 300 holes, 2,500 to 3,500m)
April – May: Drilling Tumas 1 East (400 to 500 holes, 4,500 to 6,500m)
From March to June: Progressive upgrade of Mineral Resources to Indicated Resource category

The Growing Need For Nuclear Energy
New, increasing pressure resulting from accelerated emission reduction targets, transport electrification compounds the need for greatly increased electricity requirements
==> picture [395 x 283] intentionally omitted <==
Simplistic, ideologically driven renewable energy models not sustainable and under increased scrutiny as to their limitation
Nuclear for electricity generation is the pre-eminent technology able to deliver sustainable, zero-emitting and dispatchable power 24/7
The IPCC* stated 80% of the world’s electricity must be low carbon to ensure global warming is kept below the 2°C target
Rapid EV development and deployment and emergence of hydrogen technology, driving essential need for heat in industry and growing requirement for nuclear usage
Nuclear energy is the only energy source able to provide lowcarbon energy directly through heat production or indirectly through provision of clean hydrogen
For the first time nuclear is now taking the moral high ground – no other industry can compete and deliver at scale with all the solutions covered

The Added Impetus for Nuclear Energy
Recent UN survey found that almost two-thirds of people around the world view climate change as a global emergency The survey conducted across 50 countries with 1.2M respondents
==> picture [363 x 350] intentionally omitted <==
Global emissions continue to grow despite renewable surge – nuclear essential to reverse dangerous trend
International Energy Agency called for decisive action to achieve world energy transformation of “unprecedented speed and scale”
By 2030: increasing EV share - annual sales from 3% to over 50% Rapid low-carbon hydrogen increases - 450Kt to 40Mt by 2030 Boosting investment in clean electricity four-fold from $380B to $1.6T
Development of Small Modular Reactors (SMR) will provide huge optionality for additional nuclear usage

TradeTech, a globally recognised uranium market analysis and price reporting organisation, shows increasing uranium prices through the remainder of the decade reaching $60-65/lb U3O8 by mid-decade rising to $70/lb U3O8 by late 2020s
Deep Yellow has chosen to incorporate a uranium price of $65/lb U3O8 in its financial analysis, which reasonably represents the expected global uranium market for newly negotiated multi-year (term) sales agreements by mid-to-late decade

Focused on creating long-term value for shareholders, stakeholders and the communities where we operate
Early implementation and continued focus of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) will play a key role in creating a Company-wide approach to sustainable practices
Maiden Sustainability Report released in 2020
Provides a foundation to grow and evolve ESG objectives as the Company works towards becoming a global, tierone uranium producer
Nominated as a finalist in the 2020 Australia Africa Minerals & Energy Group (AAMEG) Awards in the Emerging ESG Leader category
Awarded the Namibian Safety Award for the last two years

Notes
Figures have been rounded and totals may reflect small rounding errors. XRF chemical analysis unless annotated otherwise.
♦ eU3O8 - equivalent uranium grade as determined by downhole gamma logging. # Combined XRF Fusion Chemical Assays and eU3O8 values. Where eU3O8 values are reported it relates to values attained from radiometrically logging boreholes.
Gamma probes were calibrated at Pelindaba, South Africa in 2007. Recent calibrations were carried out at the Langer Heinrich Mine calibration facility in July 2018 and September 2019.

Nova JV – Barking Gecko Prospect (EPL3669)
==> picture [461 x 319] intentionally omitted <==
Large anomalous mineralised zone identified at Barking Gecko in alaskite-type basement target Thick zones of uranium intersected
Grades vary from 216 to 385ppm eU3O8
4km x 1km highly prospective zone defined Target similarities with Rössing and Husab Mineralisation open at depth and laterally
Prospective zone extends 18km into adjacent Reptile Project containing 45Mlb of basement resource
Follow-up drilling started late 2020 at Barking Gecko with early encouraging results
A promising target at Turtle’s Neck immediately south of Barking Gecko also remains to be tested.
