Terra Uranium stellt den geplanten Erwerb des Amer Lake-Projekts ein.

Terra Uranium <a href='https://grafa.com/asset/terra-uranium-ltd-10204-t92.asx'>(ASX:T92)</a> hat den geplanten Erwerb des Amer Lake-Projekts in Nunavut, <a href='https://grafa.com/economy/canada-ca'>Kanada</a>, eingestellt, nachdem es nicht gelungen war, den Deal mit dem Anbieter des Projekts abzuschließen. Seit März 2024 hat das Unternehmen mit dem Anbieter über die Ausführung eines langfristigen Erwerbsvertrags und anderer Vereinbarungen verhandelt. Trotz wiederholter Versuche, dies zu lösen, konnte Terra den Abschluss des Vertrags nicht sichern, was zur Entscheidung führte, den Erwerb aufzugeben. Terra bedauerte das Ergebnis, stellte jedoch klar, dass es alle Anstrengungen unternommen habe, um die Transaktion abzuschließen. Als Folge der Einstellung wird sich das Unternehmen nun darauf konzentrieren, die Kosten zurückzufordern, die ihm im Zusammenhang mit dem Amer Lake-Projekt entstanden sind, soweit dies wirtschaftlich sinnvoll ist. Terra beabsichtigt, diese Rückerstattung vom Anbieter für ausgegebene Mittel in Bezug auf Due Diligence und andere damit verbundene Aktivitäten zu verfolgen.

Terra Uranium discontinues proposed acquisition of Amer Lake Project

Terra Uranium <a href='https://grafa.com/asset/terra-uranium-ltd-10204-t92.asx'>(ASX:T92)</a> has discontinued its proposed acquisition of the Amer Lake Project in Nunavut, <a href='https://grafa.com/economy/canada-ca'>Canada</a>, following unsuccessful efforts to finalise the deal with the project's vendor. Since March 2024, the company has been in negotiations with the vendor to execute a long-form acquisition agreement and ancillary arrangements. Despite repeated attempts to resolve this, Terra was unable to secure the execution of the agreement, leading to the decision to abandon the acquisition. Terra expressed regret over the outcome but clarified that it had made every effort to complete the transaction. As a result of the discontinuation, the company will now focus on seeking reimbursement for the costs it incurred in connection with the Amer Lake Project, where commercially feasible. Terra intends to pursue this reimbursement from the vendor for funds expended on due diligence and other related activities.

Core Energy Minerals erweitert seine Besitzungen auf der Eyre-Halbinsel mit der Genehmigung der Explorationslizenz für das Brooker-Projekt.

Core Energy Minerals (ASX:CR3) hat sein Portfolio durch die Genehmigung des wettbewerbsfähigen Konzessionsantrags für das Brooker-Projekt (EL7056) erweitert und damit 517km2 zu seinem Portfolio auf der Eyre-Halbinsel hinzugefügt. Die Konzessionsbestände des Unternehmens in <a href='https://grafa.com/economy/australia-au'>Südaustralien</a> umfassen nun 2.837km2 auf der Eyre-Halbinsel und 1.750km2 im zentralen Gawler Craton, beide Regionen reich an Uran-Potenzial. Core Energy schreitet zudem mit den Genehmigungen für seine erste Bohrkampagne im Cummins-Uranprojekt voran, die im Juni-Quartal beginnen soll. Die geplanten Bohrungen werden 50 Luftkernbohrungen umfassen, insgesamt 3.000m, um flache Ziele zu erkunden, die durch die Analyse historischer Daten identifiziert wurden, einschließlich geophysikalischer Gamma-Anomalien. Die Luftkernmethode bietet kostengünstiges und umweltfreundliches Bohren. Der Explorationsfokus von Core Energy liegt darin, Uran-Rollfront-Mineralisierungen in paläokanalischen Flüssigkeitspfaden anzuvisieren, ein Stil, der in der Region durch frühere Bohrungen bewiesen wurde. Das Brooker-Projekt, angrenzend an Cummins, ist darauf ausgelegt, den Uran-Explorationsfußabdruck des Unternehmens zu erweitern, insbesondere durch seine Nähe zu bekannten Uranvorkommen in den Port Lincoln Uplands. Das Unternehmen hat Anträge für ein erweitertes Folgebohrprogramm eingereicht, um die schnelle Exploration in diesen Gebieten voranzutreiben.

Core Energy Minerals expands Eyre Peninsula holdings with Brooker Project tenement approval

Core Energy Minerals (ASX:CR3) has expanded its holdings with the approval of the competitive tenement application for the Brooker Project (EL7056), adding 517km2 to its Eyre Peninsula portfolio. The company's South <a href='https://grafa.com/economy/australia-au'>Australia</a>n tenement holdings now span 2,837km2 on the Eyre Peninsula and 1,750km2 in the central Gawler Craton, both regions rich in uranium potential. Core Energy is also progressing with permitting for its maiden drilling campaign at the Cummins Uranium Project, set to begin in the June quarter. The planned drilling will include 50 air-core holes, totalling 3,000m, to explore shallow targets identified through historic data analysis, including geophysical gamma anomalies. The aircore method offers cost-effective and environmentally friendly drilling. Core Energy's exploration focus includes targeting uranium roll-front mineralisation in paleo channel fluid pathways, a style proven in the region by past drilling. The Brooker Project, contiguous with Cummins, is positioned to expand the company's uranium exploration footprint, especially with its proximity to known uranium occurrences in the Port Lincoln Uplands. The company has submitted applications for an expanded follow-up drilling program, to advance rapid exploration across these sites.

I'm cleaning out a relative's house and one of the fun finds has been glassware that glows under UV light and thus might contain uranium. But fluorescence isn't especially bright so I have to find a Geiger counter to confirm. #uvlight #fluorescence #uranium #glass #glassware #annagrün #annagelb
