Atomic Eagle has formalised a 60% interest and operational control of the Madaouela uranium project in Niger while continuing exploration and metallurgical testing at Muntanga in Zambia. The company also secured approximately $10.9 million from an early option exercise after quarter end, but Madaouela’s large resource remains a foreign estimate pending JORC conversion.

Barys Resources has added a 110.8-square-kilometre gold exploration licence in Kazakhstan, taking its North Balkhash portfolio to 445.8 square kilometres. The expansion comes with a sharper funding constraint: cash fell to A$1.039 million at quarter-end, equivalent to about one quarter of funding at the reported spending rate.

Atomic Eagle has begun a technical review aimed at determining whether its 60%-owned Madaouela uranium project in Niger can support a materially larger development than outlined in the 2022 feasibility study. The company is targeting a JORC-compliant resource in Q4 2026 and a scoping study in Q1 2027.

Barys Resources reported a wider A$2.30 million loss for FY2026 as it secured two gold exploration licences in Kazakhstan but made no progress at its Niger uranium project. With A$2.06 million in cash at year-end, the company is now pursuing a partially underwritten A$2.6 million entitlement offer to fund its next phase of exploration.

Atomic Eagle has formally executed the Mining Convention for its Madaouela uranium project in Niger, securing the legal, fiscal and operational framework for the asset. The agreement also triggers steps to end historical arbitration proceedings, while a US$5 million payment and a targeted JORC resource update now sit ahead of the company.

Barys Resources has opened a 1-for-1 renounceable entitlement offer priced at $0.01 a share, targeting gross proceeds of up to approximately $2.6 million. The partially underwritten raise is scheduled to close on 7 October 2026.

Barys Resources is seeking up to A$2.64 million through a 1-for-1 entitlement offer priced at a 41% discount, with most proceeds earmarked for Kazakhstan gold exploration. But only A$800,000 is underwritten, leaving the final funding outcome and potential dilution dependent on shareholder participation.

Atomic Eagle’s largest shareholder has irrevocably committed to exercise 35.1 million options, giving the uranium developer a potential $10.9 million cash injection before the options expire. The company says the proceeds could fund its Zambia and Niger growth strategy through 2028 without near-term equity financing.

Atomic Eagle has re-established a 60% interest in Niger’s Madaouela Uranium Project, adding 116.5 million pounds of uranium resource to its portfolio alongside its flagship Muntanga asset in Zambia, creating a substantial dual-asset platform.

Atomic Eagle has extended high-grade uranium mineralisation at its Muntanga Project in Zambia, secured crucial environmental permits, and acquired an option on the Sitwe Uranium Project, broadening its exploration footprint.

Atomic Eagle Limited confirms ongoing negotiations with Niger's Ministry of Mines to draft a new mining agreement for the Madaouela Uranium Project, following permit withdrawal and arbitration.

Atomic Eagle Limited has boosted its Muntanga Uranium Project resources by 24%, declared a maiden Ore Reserve, and confirmed project viability through an independent engineering review, setting the stage for a major drilling campaign.
