Uranium Market Review – Uranium Price

Uranium spot price is still at a low level and in the transition from the downward cycle to the upward cycle

Data source: World Nuclear Association

==> picture [709 x 216] intentionally omitted <==

Uranium Market Review - Uranium Demand

Stable and strong demand from nuclear reactors

  • Uranium consumption has returned to pre-2011 levels.

  • More reactors to be built in Asia and the Middle East with 52 reactors under construction and more planned reactors.

  • Uranium requirements expected to continue to grow. It is expected that China will approve 6-8 new reactors each year.

==> picture [368 x 172] intentionally omitted <==

By 2040, global uranium demand is expected to increase by 47% from 2020 levels

Uranium Market Review - Mine Supply

Uranium supply cycles lagged behind uranium price cycles

  • The supply upward cycle continued to the year of 2012 since the Fukushima in 2011

  • The change of supply cycle from

  • the upward to downward happened in 2016.

  • Now it is in the supply upward cycle, which is expected to continue.

Uranium Market Review - Mine Supply

Global Supply Cuts

Producers have been taking self-help measures

  • 47Mlbs supply reduction from major uranium mines since 2016

  • 14Mlbs supply cannot recover due to production ceased or shutdown (Rabbit Lake, Cominak and Ranger)

Uranium Market Outlook

Another uranium price upward cycle is approaching

  • Uranium requirements will grows steadily with cumulative uncovered requirements of about 1.4 billion pounds to the end of 2035.

  • Uranium supply is still in the downward cycle and it will continue.

  • Uranium price will transit to the upward cycle as the current downward cycle continues with the certain increase in uranium requirements from nuclear reactors.

UxC estimates that cumulative uncovered requirements are about 1.4 billion pounds to the end of 2035

Bigrlyi Joint Venture (EME 72.39%, NTU 20.82% and Noble 6.79%)

==> picture [394 x 212] intentionally omitted <==

  • EME’s flagship project is the sandstone-hosted Bigrlyi Uranium-Vanadium Deposit.

  • A prefeasibility study was completed in 2011 with key parts being progressively updated.

  • Development work was suspended in 2012 due to Fukushima-related market downturn.

  • Recent work has significantly expanded the vanadium exploration target.

  • EME’s Bigrlyi Project well positioned to take advantage of recent uranium market interest and an anticipated market turn-around.

Northern Territory Projects – Bigrlyi Modelling

==> picture [596 x 371] intentionally omitted <==

During the year, the mineralisation model for uranium along the Anomaly-4 to Anomaly-9 trend was updated including construction of new uranium wireframes.

Northern Territory Projects – Bigrlyi Mining Study

==> picture [586 x 342] intentionally omitted <==

The technical and economic advantages of an open-pit-only mining operation at Bigrlyi were investigated with development of improved open pit designs aimed at the of mineable resources within maximising proportion geotechnical constraints. Further refinements to optimise the waste to ore ratio are planned.

Northern Territory Projects – Bigrlyi Deposit Model

==> picture [371 x 427] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [109 x 37] intentionally omitted <==

A new model was geological developed for the Bigrlyi deposit which belongs to the Saltwashtype of tabular sandstone-hosted U-V deposit commonly found in the Colorado Plateau of USA.

Uranium and vanadium

mineralisation at Bigrlyi is strongly associated with detrital-origin, clay-rich lithic clasts which are heterogenous in nature casting doubt on previous groundwater models of mineralisation.

The new model expands potential mineralisation sites in ancient river channel sediments upstream and downstream of the presently known deposit.

Plans for 2021

Northern Territory Projects:

  • Bigrlyi Project focus.

  • Field work and site visits have resumed following 2020 suspension.

  • Re-modelling of uranium and vanadium mineralisation at Bigrlyi is on-going in

preparation for revision of the mineral resource estimate.

  • and of with focus on ore

  • Update Re-optimisation Bigrlyi Pre-feasibility Study beneficiation and carbonate gangue rejection to improve project economics.

  • Drill program planning to test Ngalia Regional exploration targets.

WA Projects:

  • Exploration activities suspended.
