Overview
Greenvale Energy (ASX:GRV) is an ASX-listed exploration company with a portfolio of projects that will support a sustainable, low-carbon future. The Company has early-stage uranium exploration projects in the Northern Territory, the Oasis advanced-exploration project in Queensland and the Alpha Torbanite and Millungera Basin geothermal projects in Queensland. The Company believes the best way to create long-term shareholder value is by investing in exploration, to make discoveries and grow its resource-base.
The company's uranium projects in Queensland and the Northern Territory are particularly significant as global nuclear energy demand accelerates. With nuclear power projected to grow 300 percent by 2050, with nuclear power forecast to supply 30 percent of global power demand, Greenvale is positioned perfectly to leverage the expanding and globally-significant market opportunity. Major technology companies including Amazon, Google and Meta have committed to supporting the goal of tripling global nuclear capacity by 2050, further validating the sector's growth trajectory.Greenvale's portfolio includes the promising Oasis uranium project with high-grade intercepts up to 0.72 percent U3O8, four uranium projects across the Northern Territory, the Alpha Torbanite project, and the Millungera geothermal project in Queensland.
Key Projects
Uranium Projects
Oasis Project (Queensland)
The Oasis project is an advanced-exploration Project, featuring exceptional high-grade intercepts up to 0.72 percent U3O8 (15.8 lbs/ton). Originally discovered in 1973, the deposit has seen sporadic exploration including significant work by Esso in 1978/79. The project area contains extensive radiometric anomalies with multiple faults and fractures controlling the distribution of uranium mineralization.
Greenvale has developed a comprehensive work program for Oasis, beginning with regional geological field prospecting and reconnaissance, followed geophysical and geochemical surveys across the Oasis prospect and regional areas. These preliminary works are key to develop and refine targets for Greenvale’s planned maiden drill program at Oasis.
Northern Territory Uranium Projects
Greenvale has four strategic uranium projects in the Northern Territory: Jindare project in Douglas River, Henbury, Elkedra and Tobermorey. These projects target sandstone hosted and unconformity style uranium mineralization, with particular focus on areas where uranium-bearing waters may interact with hydrocarbons, creating optimal conditions for uranium deposition. The geology of these assets is similar to uranium deposits in Kazakhstan, the world’s leading producer of uranium.
The Henbury project is particularly noteworthy, located on the edge of the Amadeus Basin, a major hydrocarbon basin in the Northern Territory. Following research from Geoscience Australia, Greenvale is targeting areas at the margins of hydrocarbon cap-rocks near active structures, which represent prime locations for uranium mineralization.
Alpha Torbanite Project
The Alpha Torbanite Project represents a unique opportunity to supply Australia's infrastructure sector with domestically-produced bitumen. The project features a substantial 28 Mt inferred resource of torbanite and cannel coal, positioning Greenvale to potentially capture a significant share of Australia's annual bitumen consumption (currently assessed as approximately 1 Mt all serviced through material imported from overseas).
Torbanite is a rare type of oil shale containing exceptionally high concentrations of algal-derived hydrocarbons that can be processed to produce high-quality bitumen products. This natural conversion capability makes torbanite deposits like Alpha particularly valuable for infrastructure applications as they can yield bitumen substitutes with properties comparable to petroleum-derived products.
To date, the company has been able to secure over $3 million in non-dilutive R&D grant funding to support project development.. The Company's test program continues to show improved results, with test program 7 planned to produce a bulk sample for certification. Certification will underpin the progression of feasibility studies that will define the full economic potential of the project.
Queensland Geothermal Project
Greenvale's Millungera Basin geothermal project targets one of Australia's most prospective areas for geothermal energy. The basin contains the hottest rock formations in Queensland, with a total identified stored thermal energy potential exceeding 611,000 PJ (at 90 percent probability). Technical reports indicate the potential for an estimated annual electricity generation of 29,621 GWh from inferred resource areas, with capacity to produce 3.4 GW continuously.

Stallion Uranium
Investor Insight
Stallion Uranium offers investors a rare opportunity to gain early exposure to a company with one of the largest underexplored land packages in the world’s premier uranium district – the Athabasca Basin – guided by a discovery team with a multi-billion-dollar track record.
Overview
Stallion Uranium (TSXV:STUD,OTCQB:STLNF) is a Canadian uranium exploration company positioned for discovery in the southwestern Athabasca Basin, a frontier zone that holds tremendous untapped geological potential. With a landholding of over 709,000 acres, Stallion controls one of the largest and least explored portfolios among junior explorers in the region.
The company is leveraging a surging uranium demand, driven by more than 900 reactors across the globe currently in operation, construction or planning stages. Amid a uranium supply shortage, the Athabasca Basin, with uranium grades up to 20 times the global averages, represents the best place in the world to find the next major high-grade discovery.What sets Stallion apart is not just its land position, but the pedigree of its team. CEO Matthew Schwab was a key figure in the discovery of NexGen’s Arrow deposit, one of the most significant uranium finds of the past decade.
Over the past two years, Stallion has deployed airborne and ground geophysics across its land package, culminating in the identification of nine Tier-1 uranium targets. The top three – Coyote, Fishhook, and Lynx – have now been prioritized for drilling. Each of these targets exhibits the structural complexity, conductive trends, and gravity signatures characteristic of world-class deposits.
With drilling mobilization planned for H2 2025, a lean share structure, and one of the most technically credible teams in the sector, Stallion Uranium is well-positioned to create significant shareholder value through discovery.

Key Projects
Stallion Uranium controls one of the largest underexplored land packages in the Athabasca Basin, spanning over 709,000 acres in the highly prospective southwestern region. Leveraging advanced geophysical techniques and a proven exploration model, the company has systematically identified and ranked nine Tier-1 uranium targets across this vast portfolio. From this group, Stallion has prioritized three high-potential corridors for near-term exploration, each exhibiting the geological signatures and structural features consistent with major discoveries in the Basin.
Coyote Corridor
Located in the heart of Stallion’s southwestern Athabasca holdings, Coyote was first defined by a 2023 VTEM Plus survey, which revealed intersecting east-west conductors within a structurally complex zone. The Athabasca sandstone here is ~450 meters thick, a sweet spot for unconformity-style uranium systems. A Q1 2025 gravity survey revealed a large gravity low anomaly that mirrors the Arrow deposit's signature. Historical intersections just 12 km south reported up to 255 parts per million (ppm) uranium oxide (U₃O₈), reinforcing the region’s prospectivity. Coyote is currently undergoing 3D inversion modeling and is the company’s first drill target, with a campaign slated for late 2025.
Fishhook Corridor
This 18-km trend remains completely untested by drilling and was delineated using MobileMT surveys. Located along a mineralized corridor where historic assays 8 km south returned 0.139 percent U₃O₈, Fishhook is defined by merging conductive features and massive cross-structures, ideal for uranium fluid trapping. The convergence with the Five of Diamonds Trend underscores the corridor’s structural intensity. With similarities to productive zones in the Basin, Fishhook is poised for follow-up geophysics and potential drill targeting.
Stallion’s high priority targets.
Lynx Corridor
Adjacent to Orano’s Uchrich project, Lynx features a 13-km-long conductor hosted in a magnetic and gravity low, often indicative of the required lithological and alteration conditions. MobileMT data shows complex conductive and magnetic responses, further suggesting active hydrothermal systems. Entirely untested by drilling, Lynx represents a high-quality greenfield opportunity with plans for additional groundwork in 2025.

About UEC’s Yuty ISR Project
The Yuty ISR Project, owned by UEC, covers approximately 117,359 hectares (290,000 acres) and is located about 200 kilometers east and southeast of Asunción, the capital of Paraguay. Positioned within the Paraná Basin, the area hosts several known uranium deposits, including Figueira and Amorinópolis in Brazil. Preliminary studies indicate the deposit is amenable to in situ recovery (“ISR”) — the same low-cost extraction method UEC successfully employs at its operations in Texas.
Modern exploration of the Yuty Project began in 1976, when Anschutz of Denver, Colorado, conducted regional uranium exploration under a joint venture with Korea Electric Power Corporation and Taiwan Power Company. Working under an exclusive concession covering 162,700 square kilometers, nearly the entire eastern half of Paraguay, Anschutz identified multiple target areas, including Yuty. From 1976 to 1983, the company drilled approximately 75,000 meters of core and rotary holes, halting further work due to declining uranium prices.
In July 2006, CUE Resources Ltd. (“CUE”) acquired an option on the Yuty Project and launched its own rotary and diamond drilling campaigns. Between 2007 and 2010, CUE completed 256 drill holes totaling 31,000 meters, ultimately acquiring 100% ownership of the project.
On March 30, 2012, UEC acquired all outstanding shares of CUE Resources Ltd., securing a 100% undivided interest in the Yuty Project.1
Resource Estimates
The current disclosed resource for UEC’s Yuty Project is 8.962 million lbs of U308 Indicated, and 2.203 million lbs of U308 Inferred, which has been finalized in a technical report prepared for UEC titled “Yuty Uranium Project Initial Assessment US SEC Subpart 1300 Regulation SK Report, Paraguay SA” dated July 1, 2022. 2
Vanguard’s management cautions that past results or discoveries on properties adjacent to Vanguard’s projects may not be indicative of mineralization on the Company’s own properties.

SPUT's US$200 Million Uranium Buying Plan Spurs Market Rally
The U3O8 spot price climbed sharply to kick off the week, hitting US$76.21 per pound.
Its Monday (June 16) rise is a 9.7 percent gain from the previous week's close of US$69.47, and came after news that the Sprott Physical Uranium Trust (TSX:U.U,OTCQX:SRUUF) had penned a US$100 million bought-deal financing.
The financing was upsized to US$200 million the same day "as a result of strong investor demand."
Sprott (TSX:SII,NYSE:SII), acting on behalf of the trust, confirmed the agreement, which will see Canaccord Genuity Group (TSX:CF) purchase 11,600,000 units of the trust at a price of US$17.25 each.
The offering, expected to close by June 20 pending regulatory approvals, will fund purchases of uranium oxide concentrates and uranium hexafluoride, in line with the trust’s mandate to hold physical uranium.
The news sparked a rally in uranium stocks on Monday.
On the TSX, major miner Cameco (TSX:CCO,NYSE:CCJ) rose just over 6.5 percent, while NexGen Energy (TSX:NXE,NYSE:NXE) was up 8 percent. Uranium Energy (NYSEAMERICAN:UEC) was up 12.64 percent in the US, and Denison Mines (TSX:DML,NYSEAMERICAN:DNN) jumped 14.8 percent on the TSX.
In Australia, Deep Yellow (ASX:DYLASX:DYL,OTCQX:DYLLF) surged more than 21 percent, while Boss Energy (ASX:BOE,OTCQX:BQSSF) jumped nearly 18 percent and Paladin Energy (ASX:PDN,OTCQX:PALAF) climbed over 15 percent amid investor optimism that the fresh capital injection could tighten the uranium spot market.
The Sprott trust, launched in 2021 and often referred to as SPUT, has been a key player in physically sequestering uranium from global markets, helping to reduce available supply and influence spot pricing trends.
After reaching a 14 year high of US$82 in early 2024, uranium prices trended downward, falling as low as US$64.30 this year. Despite the consolidation phase, experts believe the long-term outlook is positive.
The deal marks one of the most significant capital raises for uranium buying in 2025, and reflects growing institutional confidence in the long-term viability of nuclear energy as part of the clean energy transition.
SPUT's move also comes amid momentum in US uranium policy. In late May, US President Donald Trump signed a series of executive orders aimed at revitalizing America’s nuclear energy sector. The orders are intended to ramp up domestic uranium production to meet growing power demands, especially from artificial intelligence data centers.
Tech giants like Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), Google and Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) have all done nuclear power deals for data centers, honing in on nuclear as a viable solution for their zero-carbon baseload energy needs.
For now, Sprott’s buying spree offers a test of how tight the uranium market really is. With settlement set for later this week, attention will turn to whether its uranium purchases trigger further positive price activity.

Critical One Sells Uranium Assets to Dark Star, Hones Focus on Antimony-Gold Project
Critical One Energy (CSE:CRTL,OTCQB:MMTLF), formerly Madison Metals, announced on June 12 that it has entered into an agreement with uranium-focused Dark Star Minerals (CSE:BATT) to sell 100 percent of its interests in the Khan West and Cobra North uranium projects in Namibia’s Erongo uranium province.
The acquisition will transfer Critical One’s Namibian uranium assets — specifically the Khan West and Cobra North projects — through staged cash payments and share issuances over a two year period.
The move signals a strategic shift by Critical One toward its Howells Lake antimony-gold project in Ontario, Canada, as it aims to capitalize on growing demand for critical minerals.
The Khan West and Cobra North projects are situated in a well-established Namibian uranium-mining district near the Rössing uranium mine, one of the world’s largest uranium-producing properties.
Cobra North includes two exclusive prospecting licenses and has a historical NI 43-101 inferred resource estimate of 15.6 million metric tons grading 260 parts per million U3O8 for a contained metal total of 9 million pounds of U3O8.
Dark Star said it won't be treating the historical resource as current.
Similarly, Khan West encompasses a mining license and an exclusive prospecting license. Geological characteristics of the Khan West site reportedly mirror those of Rössing, featuring uranium-anomalous granites within a prominent structural deformation corridor. The mining license includes a license to extract uranium.
For Dark Star, the deal represents a bolstering of its uranium portfolio. In early April, the company announced plans to acquire the Bleasdell Lake uranium project in Northern Saskatchewan, Canada, which has historical uranium resources.
Later in the month, the company entered into a definitive mineral purchase agreement for the property.
Critical One’s pivot away from uranium is part of a broader refocus on critical minerals with promising market dynamics.
The Howells Lake antimony-gold project offers exposure to antimony, an increasingly valuable critical mineral that is tied to clean energy and advanced technology sectors, including the defense industry.
Duane Parnham, executive chair and CEO, emphasized the project’s potential for “higher growth potential and improved returns,” noting the added gold exploration upside amid record-high gold prices.
“The project provides gold exploration upside in a period when the yellow metal’s value is reaching all-time market highs,” Parnham said. To support its refocused strategy, Critical One simultaneously announced a non-brokered private placement financing, saying it is targeting gross proceeds of up to C$1 million.
Parnham highlighted insider participation in the financing, stating that the “ongoing support underscores management’s confidence in the value and potential of the Howells Lake antimony-gold project.”
Proceeds will be used for data processing, geophysics, permitting, drilling and other activities related to advancing Howells Lake, as well as strengthening the company’s financial position and supporting general working capital.

Blue Sky Uranium Commences Drill Program to Accelerate Advancement of the Ivana Uranium-Vanadium Project, Argentina
Blue Sky Uranium Corp. (TSXV: BSK) (FSE: MAL2) (OTC: BKUCF), ("Blue Sky" or the "Company") is pleased to announce Ivana Minerales S.A. ("JVCO", a partnership with a subsidiary of Corporacion America Group "COAM") has commenced the next infill drill program to advance the Ivana Uranium-Vanadium deposit towards feasibility. As announced on May 14, 2025, JVCO has doubled its original exploration program budget to US$6.0M, beyond the minimum annual commitment of US$3M for the first year stipulated in the joint-venture agreement. The new estimate includes US$4.4M for costs associated with the feasibility program, including the infill drilling, other studies and surveys, and the NI 43-101 technical report preparation.
Nikolaos Cacos, President & CEO of the Company stated, "With COAM's support, JVCO plans to rapidly advance Ivana with this drill program while continuing other work such as metallurgy and process engineering in order to achieve feasibility and potential production as swiftly as possible."
The infill drill program is expected to include up to 6,000 metres of reverse circulation ("RC") drilling in approximately 330 drill holes with an estimated average depth of 18 metres. The program aims to achieve better definition of the known mineralized bodies to support the reclassification of some inferred mineral resources to indicated mineral resources and to improve the geological modeling to allow the design of the Ivana deposit to be adjusted for mining. It will also assess the potential extension of zones where mineralization remains open to expansion, as outlined in the most recent Preliminary Economic Assessment.
Following the infill drilling program, a second phase drill program of up to 2,500 metres is planned to start immediately, to test at least two new high-potential exploration targets near the Ivana deposit. The campaign will employ both RC and diamond drilling methods to further delineate mineralization previously identified in satellite areas surrounding the Ivana Project, many of which have returned encouraging results from earlier drilling and require more detailed definition. The budget for the brownfields exploration program is US$1.6M, including the drilling-related costs, geophysics and permitting.
