What URAMERICA LIMITED does

URAMERICA LIMITED is a privately held critical-metals exploration company incorporated in the United Kingdom with operational headquarters in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Its principal asset is the Central Plateau Project, located in the San Jorge Basin of Chubut Province, Patagonia, a sandstone-hosted roll-front uranium district adjacent to Argentina's national atomic energy commission (CNEA) Cerro Solo deposit. The company holds what it describes as the largest consolidated mineral license package in the basin, and a NI43-101 compliant Technical Report published in September 2021 certifies an inferred resource of 27.9 million tonnes at 310 ppm eU3O8, containing 19.1 million pounds of eU3O8, with exploration targets of up to 65.4 million pounds U3O8. The geological model and 24,000 metres of drilling underpinning this estimate were developed in part through a strategic alliance with Cameco from 2011 to 2013.

The asset is positioned as amenable to In-Situ Recovery (ISR) extraction, a method with materially lower capital intensity than conventional uranium mining, and the company has expanded its commodity scope beyond uranium to include lithium, rare earth elements, molybdenum, and vanadium, framed as a broader critical-metals thesis. The leadership team is anchored by directors drawn from the UraMin team that sold to Areva for $2.5 billion, lending uranium-specific technical and capital-markets credibility to the development plan.

URAMERICA has no current revenue. The business model is exploration-stage: capital is raised to advance the resource through technical studies, with the intended monetization path being either ISR uranium production, critical-metals co-production, sale to a strategic acquirer, or project-level development financing once a feasibility case is established. The principal risk to this model is the multi-year permitting and feasibility timeline typical of greenfield uranium projects, compounded by the regulatory and political environment in Chubut Province.

Core offering

UrAmerica is a pre-revenue mineral exploration company developing the Central Plateau Project in the San Jorge Basin, Chubut Province, Argentina. The project contains an NI43-101 certified uranium mineral resource of 27.9 million tonnes at 310 ppm eU3O8 (19.1M lb contained eU3O8) alongside critical metals including Lithium, Rare Earths, Molybdenum and Vanadium. The asset is being advanced through drilling, resource estimation and feasibility work toward eventual offtake by nuclear utilities and critical metals end users.

Product overview

UrAmerica is a private critical metals exploration company operating as a single-asset entity focused on uranium and associated critical metals. The company's primary offering is the Central Plateau Project, located in Patagonia, Argentina, which encompasses one of Latin America's most prolific uranium deposits alongside critical metals (Lithium, Rare Earths, Molybdenum, and Vanadium) in the largest consolidated and highly prospective license package in the region.

Products and services

• Central Plateau Project UrAmerica's flagship mineral asset located within the San Jorge Basin in Chubut Province, Argentina, comprising the largest consolidated package of mineral licenses in Patagonia. The project hosts NI43-101 certified Inferred Mineral Resources of 27.9 million tonnes at 310 ppm eU3O8 for 19.1M lb of contained eU3O8, with additional exploration targets of up to 65.4M lb U3O8 at 285–362 ppm U3O8. The same license area also contains critical metals including Lithium, Rare Earths, Molybdenum and Vanadium. The deposit geometry (40–140 m depth, sub-horizontal layers 1–15 m thick) is potentially amenable to In-Situ Recovery (ISR) extraction. The asset is being developed for eventual offtake by nuclear utilities and critical metals end users.

• Cameco CorporationcoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 October 2011In October 2011, UrAmerica entered into a Strategic Alliance Agreement with Cameco (the largest uranium producer in the world from Canada) focused on uranium exploration in UrAmerica's extensive multi-mineralized district. A drilling campaign of 24,000m was completed in 18 months by UrAmerica, which was the fastest and most cost-effective drilling campaign based on Cameco technical standards. In 2013, due to depressed uranium market post-Fukushima, Cameco adjusted its global strategy and both companies agreed to a win-win arrangement for Cameco's equity position, restoring UrAmerica's independence.
