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 pa near
term uranium mine with a 17-year mine life with excellent economics and
optionality to expand to accommodate 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.
