About Neo Energy Metals plc
Neo Energy Metals plc is a uranium and gold company listed on the London Stock
Exchange Main Market (LSE: NEO) and the A2X Markets (A2X: NEO), with a JSE
Main Board listing targeted for 2026. The Company has secured two uranium
projects in South Africa with a combined JORC- and SAMREC-compliant resource
of 31.5 million pounds ("Mlb") of uranium and 1.2 million ounces ("Moz") of
gold.
New Beisa Node - Free State Goldfields
The New Beisa Uranium/Gold Project, to be known as the New Beisa Node, is a
brownfields uranium and gold development located on the Beatrix 4 shaft
property near Virginia in the Free State Goldfields, one of the highest-grade
uranium-bearing regions in the world.
The project is being acquired from Sibanye-Stillwater, which operated the
Beatrix 4 shaft complex until 2022 and will have a significant shareholding in
Neo Energy.
The asset carries more than US$500 million in historical capital investment
and benefits from existing surface infrastructure including a headgear and
winding systems, a gold processing plant with 120,000 tonne-per-month milling
capacity, primary ventilation, a tailings storage facility and all major
utilities. Underground development is in place, with the Beisa Reef accessible
from the existing shaft at depths of 300 to 1,000 metres.
Measured and Indicated resources stand at 26.8Mlb of uranium at 1,100ppm and
1.2Moz of gold at 3.27 g/t (SAMREC Code, 2016).
Initial annual production is targeted at approximately 810,000Mlb uranium and
52,000 ounces of gold, at an all-in sustaining cost below US$30 per pound
uranium equivalent after gold credits, with an estimated mine life of 17 years
on current Measured and Indicated resources.
The Beatrix Mining Right is being transferred to Neo Energy under Section 11
of the Mineral Resources and Petroleum Development Act; ministerial consent is
required on or before 6 December 2026 with first production targeted for
December 2027.
Henkries Node - Northern Cape
The Henkries Uranium Project, to be known as The Henkries Node, is a
near-surface, palaeochannel-hosted uranium deposit in the Northern Cape
Province. Mineralisation occurs in unconsolidated sands from surface to a
maximum depth of eight metres, requiring no drilling or blasting.
JORC compliant resources total 4.7Mlb of uranium at an average grade of
399ppm, with 25 kilometres of identified palaeochannel remaining undrilled on
the licence area.
The process route - conventional acid leach to yellowcake - has been proven
through an Anglo-American pilot plant that processed more than 200 test pits
at a cost of over US$30 million.
A 2024 Feasibility Study for the Henkries project indicates annual production
of approximately 580,000lbs of uranium at a cash cost of approximately
US$33/lb, with an NPV (8%) of US$60 million and an IRR in excess of 25% at
US$85/lb. Total initial capital requirement is approximately US$65 million
