Anticipated final permitting and start-up extraction at Alta Mesa Wellfield 3 Extension and Upper Spring Creek in Q4 2026. (Timing: Q4 2026 to Q1 2027)

The primary catalyst is the final NRC license issuance for the Dewey Burdock project, completing all federal permitting requirements. (Timing: Short term for the license issuance; next steps involve state permitting and achieving full operational status, likely within the next 1-2 years if proceeding smoothly.)

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued a positive decision, including a Finding of No Significant Impact, and issued a Programmatic Agreement, supporting the 20-year renewal of the Dewey Burdock Uranium Project's Source Materials License. This removes a major regulatory obstacle for the project. (Timing: Ongoing; this decision is a key step, with final license renewal pending NRC safety evaluation.)

The immediate change in top leadership, including a new CEO with a track record of operational rigor and the return of the founder as Executive Chair, focused on corporate renewal, cost cutting, efficiency, and aggressive development of key uranium assets. (Timing: Short to medium-term, as changes are effective immediately and a corporate update conference call is scheduled for April 23rd, 2026. Operational improvements and permit acceleration efforts are expected to unfold over the coming months.)
