Global Atomic Receives Environmental Compliance Certificate for the Dasa Project and Renews Six Exploration Permits in the Republic of Niger

28.01.2021  |  CNW

TORONTO, Jan. 28, 2021 - Global Atomic Corp. ("Global Atomic" or the "Company"), (TSX: GLO) (OTCQX: GLATF) (FRANKFURT: G12) announced that the Government of the Republic of Niger has issued an Environmental Compliance Certificate for the Dasa Uranium Project. The Company has also received three-year permit extensions for each of its six Exploration properties in Niger, all of which have seen substantial exploration programs in the past.

President and CEO of Global Atomic, Stephen G. Roman said, "The issuance of the Environmental Compliance Certificate along with the Dasa Mining Permit issued in December 2020, provide Global Atomic with the necessary Government approvals to advance the development of the Dasa Project towards commercial production. We continue to work towards the completion of the Feasibility Study and have begun discussions with utilities with regard to off-take agreements and financial institutions with regard to project financing. We continue to target Q1 of 2022 to begin earthworks to build the mine."

The renewed exploration permits cover an area of 730 square kilometres on the following six Exploration Permit Areas:

  • Adrar Emoles 3 (AE3), 121.2 km2
  • Adrar Emoles 4 (AE4), 122.4 km2
  • Tin Negoran 1, 119.7 km2
  • Tin Negoran 2, 122.1 km2
  • Tin Negoran 3, 124.3 km2
  • Tin Negoran 4, 120.1 km2

With the discovery of the Dasa uranium deposit, the Company's focus in recent years has been on Dasa including the development of a uranium processing facility to support commercial production. Within the AE3 Exploration Permit there remains significant potential to extend the known resources of the high-grade Dasa deposit along both strike and at depth.

There also exists a geological prospect within AE3 known as Dajy where historical drilling encountered prospective widths and grades within the Tarat stratigraphic unit, the same geological structure that hosts Orano Mining's Somaïr mine. Further potential exists along strike of the Isakanan prospect on the adjacent AE4 Exploration Permit. Historical drilling on the Isakanan prospect outlined a formation that will be further drilled and tested for in-situ recovery (ISR) potential.

The Tin Negoran Exploration Permits have been the target of over 22,000 metres of drilling by Global Atomic. Areas of extensive outcropping and near-surface mineralization will be further tested to determine the potential for open pit mining. The Tin Negoran Exploration Permits are within 100 kilometres of the AE3 concession, which would enable Global Atomic to use the planned Dasa mill to potentially process Tin Negouran feedstock. All six Exploration Permit Areas lie within the Tim Mersoï Basin which has produced uranium for the Republic of Niger for the last 50 years.

In separate news, Global Atomic is pleased to announce it won the 24th position on the 2021 OTCQX® Best 50, a ranking of top performing companies traded on the OTCQX Best Market in 2020.
