28 Septembre 2020 - 1:00PM
Global Atomic Corporation (“Global Atomic” or the “Company”), (TSX:
GLO, FRANKFURT: G12, OTCQX: GLATF) announced today that the Company
has submitted the Mining Permit Application for its Dasa Uranium
Project in Niger, as planned.
Global Atomic in Niger and History of
the Dasa Project:
- Global Atomic began negotiations
with the Government of the Republic of Niger in 2005. In 2006, 4
permits were granted and in 2007 an additional two permits were
granted. Field activities commenced during 2006.
- The Company has discovered four
deposits on four permits, the most significant being the Dasa
Project on the Adrar Emoles 3 permit in 2010.
- Since operations began in Niger, in
excess of US$50 million has been spent on the exploration and
development of these deposits.
- The Dasa Project is a Tier 1 asset,
with approximately 102 Mlb of uranium in the Indicated and 88 Mlbs
of uranium in the Inferred categories, as stated in the July 2019
Technical Report, which is available on the Company website.
- Global Atomic believes strongly in
local ESG initiatives with Company support including medical,
education, food and water well drilling.
- In May 2020, the Company filed a
Preliminary Economic Assessment using a Base Case uranium price of
US$35/lb to mine the Flank Zone of the Dasa Project, as Phase 1,
over 12 years, at an average AISC of less than US$19/lb to deliver
an after-tax NPV8 of US$211 million and after-tax IRR of
26.6%.
- In Phase 1, Global Atomic plans to
use conventional underground mining techniques and proven
processing technology that is currently being used at existing
uranium mines in Niger and targets an initial production of 44
Mlb.
Stephen Roman, President and CEO for Global
Atomic commented, “COVID-19 has thrown many challenges at everyone
in 2020, forcing us all to work virtually and deal with disruption
in many parts of our lives. In the face of these challenges, the
Company has made considerable progress on the Dasa Project this
year. We recently completed a Development and Operating Plan, an
Environmental Impact Statement, as well as a Hydrogeological study,
all of which are key components of our Mining Permit
Application.”
