| About Aura Energy (ASX:AEE, AIM:AURA) |
|
| ||||||||
| | Aura Energy is an Australian-based mineral company with major uranium and polymetallic projects in Africa and Europe. The Company is focused on developing a uranium mine at the Tiris Uranium Project, a major greenfield uranium discovery in Mauritania. The February 2024 FEED study demonstrated Tiris to be a near-term low-cost 2Mlbs U3O8 p.a near term uranium mine with a 17-year mine life with excellent economics and optionality to expand to accommodate future resource growth. Aura plans to transition from a uranium explorer to a uranium producer to capitalise on the rapidly growing demand for nuclear power as the world shifts towards a decarbonised energy sector. Beyond the Tiris Project, Aura owns 100% of the Häggån Project in Sweden. Häggån contains a global-scale 2.5Bt vanadium, sulphate of potash ("SOP") and uranium resource. Utilising only 3% of the resource, a 2023 Scoping Study outlined a 27-year mine life based on mining 3.5Mtpa.
