“The country remains a key focus for CUR as it is host to significant uranium resources, operating uranium mines and an attractive federal and state level mining regime.”

“South Australia is a desirable location to explore for uranium with an existing operating uranium mine and several advanced development projects. We believe the Projects have the potential for additional discovery based on past drilling, which encountered strong grades over wide spacing, and the potential for in situ recovery, which is another attractive feature that we intend to further evaluate.”

Located in the Eucla Basin of southwest South Australia, the Yarranna advanced stage exploration project was subject to extensive uranium exploration up until 1988 by the Carpentaria Exploration Company.
