GoviEx Uranium (GVXXF) has submitted an environmental assessment for its Muntanga Project to Zambian authorities, positioning itself for uranium production by 2028. CEO Daniel Major highlighted the project's distinctive features, including surface-level uranium deposits and a low strip ratio, which could enable production within just four months of mining initiation. This accelerated timeline offers investors a faster route to cash flow compared to typical uranium projects.
GoviEx Uranium (OTCQB: GVXXF) has submitted its draft Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) to the Zambian Environmental Management Agency (ZEMA) for its Muntanga Uranium Project. This marks a important step toward project execution, with final ESIA approval expected in H2 2025.
The recently completed Feasibility Study confirms Muntanga as a robust open-pit, heap leach operation featuring:
- 12-year mine life
- After-tax NPV8% of USD 243 million (at $90/lb U3O8)
- Internal rate of return (IRR) of 20.8%
- Low operating costs
The project benefits from Zambia's infrastructure, pro-mining policies, and domestic sulfuric acid supply. Production is targeted to begin in 2028, with mining-to-production timeline of four months. The company reports strong early-stage financing interest and is in discussions with potential off-takers.
GoviEx Uranium has filed a Feasibility Study for its Muntanga Uranium Project in Zambia, marking a important milestone for addressing uranium supply deficit. The study reveals strong project economics with an after-tax NPV8% of USD 243 million and IRR of 20.8%.
Key highlights include:
- Production of 2.2 million pounds U3O8 annually over 12 years
- Operating costs of USD 32.2/lb U3O8
- USD 45 million NPV increase for every USD 5/lb rise in U3O8 prices
- Rapid payback period of 3.8 years
The project features a shallow open-pit mine with heap leaching, utilizing conventional processing methods. Notable advantages include excellent local infrastructure, established export routes, and cost-efficient operations with low energy requirements and acid consumption. Production is expected to begin within 4 months of mining initiation.
GoviEx Uranium has appointed Endeavour Financial as financial advisor for its Muntanga uranium project in Zambia, marking the first step towards securing project financing. The project features impressive economics with a NPV8 of USD 243 million, 20.8% IRR, and 3.8-year payback period.
Muntanga is projected to produce an average of 2.2 million pounds U3O8 annually over a 12-year mine life, with production targeted to begin in 2028. The project demonstrates strong leverage to uranium prices, gaining USD 45 million in NPV for every USD 5/lb increase in U3O8 prices. The company will explore various financing options, including debt, royalties, streaming, offtake finance, and equity, prioritizing shareholder value maximization.
GoviEx Uranium and its subsidiary have signed a letter of intent with the Republic of Niger establishing a structured roadmap to resolve the ongoing dispute regarding the Madaouela Uranium Project. The agreement follows constructive negotiations during the 2025 Mining Indaba conference in Cape Town.
The Companies have agreed to temporarily suspend the ICSID Convention arbitration proceedings while discussions continue. The Madaouela Project contains significant uranium resources, including 100 million pounds of U₃O₈ in measured and indicated resources, plus 20 million pounds in inferred resources. At USD 80 per pound U3O8, the project forecasts a post-tax NPV (8%) of USD 376 million and 21% IRR. The project is expected to produce 50.8 million pounds of U₃O₈ over a 19-year mine life, averaging 2.67 million pounds annually.
GoviEx Uranium announced positive Feasibility Study results for its Muntanga Uranium Project in Zambia. The project demonstrates strong economics with an after-tax NPV8% of USD 243 million and IRR of 20.8%. Key highlights include:
- Operating costs of USD 32.2/lb U3O8 and AISC of USD 47.3/lb U3O8
- Production averaging 2.2 million pounds U3O8 annually over 12 years
- Low technical risk with shallow open pit mining and heap leaching
- Rapid payback period of 3.8 years from production start
The project benefits from excellent infrastructure, including road access, water, and grid power. The processing facility will handle 3.5 Mt per annum with uranium recovery rates of at least 90%. Production is forecast for 2028, positioning Muntanga to capitalize on the growing uranium supply deficit driven by increased nuclear energy demand and years of underinvestment in uranium development.
GoviEx Uranium faced significant challenges in 2024, notably the revocation of rights to the Madaouela Project in Niger, which the company considers unlawful. GoviEx has initiated arbitration proceedings under the ICSID Convention to protect its rights, following over a decade of work and 650,000 meters of drilling at the site.
The company has shifted focus to the Muntanga Project in Zambia, where recent metallurgical tests showed promising uranium recoveries of 90% or better, with favorable low acid consumption for heap leach processing. A comprehensive feasibility study is near completion, integrating five deposits into a mining schedule. The Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) is progressing according to IFC guidelines.
Additionally, GoviEx has expanded its presence in Zambia through the acquisition of an option to explore the Lundazi license, demonstrating strategic growth in mining-friendly jurisdictions.
GoviEx Uranium and its subsidiary GoviEx Niger have initiated arbitration proceedings against the Republic of Niger under the ICSID Convention regarding the Madaouela uranium project. This action follows Niger's July 2024 decision to withdraw GoviEx Niger's mining permit and abrogate related decrees. The companies assert these actions breach obligations under various agreements and laws.
The project had secured interest exceeding USD 200 million in potential debt financing and was advancing with infrastructure development when the rights were withdrawn. The project was expected to require USD 343 million in initial capital expenditure and create up to 800 jobs over its 20-year mine life. Despite attempts at amicable settlement, including local administrative recourse, the companies are now pursuing legal remedies while remaining open to constructive dialogue with the State.
GoviEx Uranium has released its 2024 Sustainability Report, covering operations through June 30, 2024.
