The funds are to advance the development of the Tumas Project with the commencement of construction post-FID, the advancement of the Mulga Rock Project, and the progress of exploration of current projects where significant opportunity exists for resource expansion.

“With our strong positioning, I feel shareholders will benefit greatly while building Deep Yellow into a company that I believe will become highly significant on the global uranium supply scene.
“We are confident in completing tranche 2 of the Placement following a general meeting in or around late April 2024 and raising a further A$30 million from the Share Purchase Plan, which will allow eligible shareholders to participate in this capital raising,” Borshoff said.
