Company Activities
During the Quarter, the Tiris Project continued to advance, with good progress
made on the FEED study due in Q4 2023. The Company continues to engage with
the National Authority for Radiation Protection, Safety and Nuclear Security
(ARSN) in order to secure an export permit, and Orano NPS has been appointed
to finalise the logistics solution to deliver yellowcake into the global
markets. Negotiations continued with utilities over the award of offtake
agreements ("Offtake"), supported by an improvement in the uranium spot price,
which has risen by nearly 30% from US$56.10/lb to US$71.58/lb U(3)O(8).
Discussions on securing finance continued during the Quarter to support the
advancement of the Tiris Project's development.
Post the end of the Quarter, Aura announced its intention to commence an
exploration program at its Tiris Project, targeting additional resources to
progress towards a potential 100 Mlbs U(3)O(8) Inferred Resource.
Pre-construction works, including the geotechnical drilling of the proposed
plant site and trial mining will also be undertaken as part of this program,
which will provide valuable data in the production planning for the Tiris
Project.

During the Quarter, Aura's Executives had meetings in Sweden to discuss the
government's legislative process, as the country transitions towards a 100%
fossil-free energy strategy including the removal of the uranium mining ban.
The Company provided a briefing on the Häggån Scoping Study, with subsequent
discussion about how Aura intends to develop the Häggån Project. The
Company made progress on key activities required for the application for the
exploitation permit, with baseline environmental monitoring and community
consultation due to commence in Q4 2023. This will see the application for
the exploitation permit being submitted during Q3 2024.
Managing Director and CEO, David Woodall, was interviewed by two of the local
newspapers, presenting the strategy that would be adopted by Häggån Project
which would deliver no negative impact on the local lakes and water supply,
establish operations with a small environmental footprint, progressive
rehabilitation, direct employment and business opportunities and the potential
of downstream business within the region. This will be a key focus
throughout the December 2023 quarter with ongoing consultation and
interactions with stakeholders about the Häggån Project as part of the
exploitation permitting process.
Aura's Executives also visited Mauritania to update the government on the
progress of the Tiris Project, the progress of the uranium export permit, and
other activities to support the project development.
In September 2023, the Company boosted its team in Mauritania with the
recruitment of Abdoullah Samoury as non-board Business and Exploration
Director, based in Nouakchott.
Abdoullah has vast experience in geology, project development, mining and
production geology and exploration in several African countries (Togo, Burkina
Faso and Mauritania). Most recently, he was the Exploration Manager at the
Tasiast-Kinross gold mine and prior to that worked for First Quantum Minerals,
World Bank and Société Nationale Industrielle et Minière.
Cash on hand as at 30 September 2023 was A$8.55 million.
Tiris Project Update
Over the last Quarter, the Company maintained steady progress towards
"development-ready" status. This included the ongoing FEED study focused on
identifying and securing long-lead items to ensure timely delivery. Additional
negotiations regarding Offtake have been advanced with multiple counterparties
in different geographic markets against the favourable background of a rising
uranium spot price. This rise has been consistent with previous Company
forecasts, and it is pleasing to see ongoing strength in the price rise since
the end of the Quarter.
Following the Quarter end, Aura has identified significant exploration targets
at both the Tiris East and Tiris West areas. The potential quantity of the
exploration targets are conceptual in nature, and there has not yet been
sufficient exploration of these targets to estimate a Mineral Resource. It is
uncertain whether these exploration efforts will result in an estimation of a
Mineral Resource, but Aura is targeting the expansion of the Inferred Mineral
Resource at the Tiris Project to approximately 100 Mlbs U₃O₈, a threshold
of globally important significance.
Already, the Tiris Project has defined a low-cost, long-life mine due to the
simple mining method and the easy beneficiation process that allows the
upgrade of the ore to a ~2,000ppm leach feed grade. The ability to
significantly grow the resource through the expansion of existing ore bodies
shows excellent potential for scale.
Negotiations with the government of Mauritania concerning the renewal of
existing tenements and the granting of the Exploitation Licence are ongoing
but have advanced during the Quarter.
The Company has continued to collaborate with regional communities and local
governments to maintain the relationships that have been established. The
communities have recognised the positive contribution in terms of jobs and
infrastructure that the Tiris Project will bring to the region as it moves to
the construction phase.
Häggån Project Update
During the Quarter, the Company announced the Scoping Study for the Häggån
Project in Sweden. The results indicated a large poly-metallic deposit
containing economically significant levels of V (vanadium), SOP (sulphate of
potash), Ni (nickel), Zn (zinc), and Mo (molybdenum).
Aura has made considerable progress on the Häggån Project with the
completion of the Scoping Study outlining the extraordinary opportunity of the
Häggån Project. The study covered 65 Mt of the resource, which represents
less than 3% of the known 2.0B tonne Mineral Resource Estimate of the broader
Häggån Project. Within this boundary, the ore body displayed a richly
endowed polymetallic structure containing significant quantities of vanadium,
potash, nickel, zinc, molybdenum, and uranium. A projected post-tax Base Case
NPV of US$380-US$1,231 million has been estimated, dependent on final plant
construction and the forward price assumptions.
Since the current legislation in Sweden prevents the extraction of uranium,
the base case scenario of the Scoping Study assumes that uranium is not
extracted from the ore and instead is returned to the ground ("Base Case
Scenario").
The Base Case Scenario proposes mining the high-grade zone at ~5.9Mtpa,
producing approximately:
· 10,400 tpa V(2)O(5) high-quality vanadium flake;
· 217,000 tpa sulphate of potash (SOP) by-product for sale as
fertiliser; and
· 3,000 tpa mixed sulphide product.
Aura intends to pursue a 25-year exploitation agreement and recognises the
potential value that could be added by recovering uranium from the Häggån
ore, subject to changes in Swedish legislation and demonstration that the
proposed operation will not have a negative impact on the water quality or the
environment.
Aura continues to work with the Swedish Government, local community and
relevant authorities and notes recent Swedish Government legislation
introduced to the parliament that proposes the removal of restrictions on new
nuclear power stations. The adoption of the new energy target, changing from
"100% renewable" to "100% fossil-free" electricity by the Swedish parliament,
is part of the shift in sentiment towards the use of nuclear power due to its
stability, reliability and lack of greenhouse emissions.
Uranium Market - Growing Global Support
The Quarter has seen a continuation of governments internationally
acknowledging nuclear energy as a key part of the carbon-free energy
transition. Multiple governments continue to announce plans to construct or
upgrade existing nuclear power plants to provide stable, zero-carbon baseload
generation capacity. The growing realisation that renewable energy solutions
are unable to provide the scalability or instantaneous demand continues to
drive this sentiment.
During the Quarter, the following highlights have been noted:
· China is looking to develop its nuclear power sector at a rate of six
to eight new plants per year for the foreseeable future 2 (#_ftn2) ;
· Japanese nuclear power plants are planning to restart production next
year as the country seeks to reduce reliance on fuel imports 3 (#_ftn3) ;
· The United States, France, Japan, Canada, and the United Kingdom
formed the Nuclear Fuel Alliance (NFA) to develop a shared supply chain for
nuclear fuel 4 (#_ftn4) ;
· U.S. House of Representatives subcommittee for Energy, Climate and
Grid Security pledged bipartisan support for the development of nuclear
energy 5 (#_ftn5) ; and
· The World Nuclear Association published updated supply and demand
forecasts, which show a more rapid growth trajectory of uranium demand.
This growing sentiment towards nuclear energy is starting to impact the
uranium spot price. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the spot price has
exceeded US$73/lbs, a 13 year high.
David Woodall and Nigel Jones also attended the recent World Nuclear Fuels
Market (WNFM) conference in Ljubljana, Slovenia, where meetings were held with
potential offtake partners for the Tiris Project.
Corporate
The Company's cash position as of 30 September 2023 was A$8.55m. The Company's
major cashflow movements for the Quarter included:
· Investments in the Company's Exploration and Evaluation assets of
A$1.80m; and
· Administration and corporate costs of A$0.63m.
Forecasted net operating cash outflow, including the investment in exploration
and evaluation, for the coming quarter is A$2.82m. Based on this, and with a
closing cash balance of A$8.55m, the Company has sufficient cash for 3.03
quarters.

About Aura Energy (ASX: AEE, AIM: AURA)
Aura Energy is an Australian-based minerals company that has major uranium and
polymetallic projects with large resources in Africa and Europe. The Company
is now focused on uranium production from the Tiris Project, a major
greenfield uranium discovery in Mauritania.
A recent Enhanced Feasibility Study has increased the project NPV
significantly which reconfirms Tiris as potentially one of the lowest capex,
lowest operating cost uranium projects that remain undeveloped in the world.
In October 2021, the Company entered a US$10m Offtake Financing Agreement with
Curzon, which includes an additional up to US$10m facility, bringing the
maximum available under the agreement to US$20m.
In 2023, Aura will continue to transition from a uranium explorer towards
becoming a uranium producer, to capitalise on the rapidly growing demand for
nuclear power as the world continues to shift towards a decarbonised energy
sector.
