Moab

What Moab does

Moab Minerals Limited (ASX:MOM, formerly Delecta Ltd) is an Australian-domiciled, ASX-listed junior mining exploration and project-development company headquartered in North Perth, Western Australia. Founded in 1999 and managed since inception by Malcolm Day, the company holds an 11–50 employee organisation built around a portfolio of early-stage uranium, vanadium, gold, copper, cobalt, and lithium exploration assets. Its core assets are the 60%-owned REX Uranium-Vanadium Project in Colorado's Uravan Mineral Belt (containing historic mines such as Blackfoot/Rattlesnake, Wedge, Merry Widow, Sunbeam, and Vanadium King, covering approximately 5,000 acres of BLM claims within trucking distance of the only operating US conventional U-V mill at White Mesa), and the Manyoni and Octavo uranium projects in Tanzania held through its majority-owned subsidiary Katika Resources Ltd (acquired July 2024), with Octavo directly adjacent to Rosatom's Nyota deposit. Secondary assets include the Highline Copper-Cobalt Project in Southern Nevada, the Speedway Gold Project in Western Utah, the Woodlands and Mt Amy Projects in Western Australia, and a 14.64% interest in CAA Mining (Ghana lithium and gold, acquired June 2023).

Its core technology is conventional mineral exploration — geological surveying, drilling, sampling, and metallurgical analysis — applied via domain-specialised targeting methods such as Uravan Mineral Belt Salt Wash paleo-channel mapping (REX) and Tanzanian Archaean Shield schröckingerite/carnotite targeting (Manyoni/Octavo). The company leverages legacy exploration datasets from prior owners such as Uranex Ltd at Manyoni as a starting baseline and uses an in-country partner (Galo Capital Ltd, 20% holder in Katika, whose MD serves as Exploration Manager) to manage Tanzanian operations, community, and regulatory interfaces.

Moab is pre-revenue: it generates no product sales and creates shareholder value by acquiring and advancing exploration-stage projects toward resource definition, then either developing toward production or transacting via farm-out/joint-venture or offtake arrangements with larger mining counterparties (the value-prop described in the input). Customer-facing activity is limited to ASX-mandated disclosure (announcements, investor presentations, AGM/IR engagement) and to the ASX-listed equity itself as the distribution channel to retail and institutional investors globally. Monetisation events to date include the 2023 CAA Mining equity stake, the 2024 Katika majority acquisition (undisclosed), and the announced 2026 issuance of 62.5 million ordinary shares for the AuKing tenement package; an Imbas Mining acquisition was terminated following unsatisfactory due diligence.
