These impressive FS results further enhance the robust economics outlined in the 2019 pre-feasibility study (the "PFS").

Key Points: 
  • These impressive FS results further enhance the robust economics outlined in the 2019 pre-feasibility study (the "PFS").
  • Of additional note, initial CAPEX is marginally lower (~2%) than the PFS for a total of $1.155B – a remarkable achievement given current global inflation.
  • The results confirm the economic strength of the PLS project as well as its minimal environmental footprint.
  • With nuclear energy and the uranium sector strengthening year on year, Fission is ideally positioned to continue developing PLS through the environmental assessment and licensing phase.
