About Aura Energy (ASX: AEE, AIM: AURA)  

Aura Energy is an Australian-based mineral company with major uranium and polymetallic projects in Africa and Europe.

The Company is focused on developing a uranium mine at the Tiris Uranium Project, a major greenfield uranium discovery in Mauritania. The 2024 FEED Study[1] and Production Target Update[2] demonstrates Tiris to be a near-term low-cost uranium mine producing 2Mlbs pa U3O8 over a 25-year mine life with excellent economics and optionality to expand and to accommodate future exploration success.

Aura plans to transition from a uranium explorer to a uranium producer to capitalise on the rapidly growing demand for nuclear power as the world shifts towards a decarbonised energy sector.

Beyond the Tiris Project, Aura owns 100% of the Häggån Project in Sweden. Häggån contains a global-scale 2.5Bt vanadium, sulphate of potash (SOP)[3] and uranium[4] resource. Utilising only 3% of the resource, a 2023 Scoping Study[5] outlined a 17-year mine life based on mining 3.5Mtpa.
