Quarterly Actions Report – For Interval Ended 30 September 2024

Investor Perception

Toro Power’s important uranium useful resource in a tier 1 jurisdiction locations the corporate in a compelling place to leverage a bullish uranium market and the mineral’s strategic position in international decarbonization.

Overview

International locations worldwide are working in direction of decarbonization and paying extra consideration to clear power sources. About 10 p.c of the world’s electrical energy is produced from 440 energy reactors, and extra international locations like Japan, Germany, the UK and the US are revitalizing their nuclear power capacities to cut back fossil gasoline manufacturing whereas bettering power safety.

Australia produces 12 p.c of the world’s uranium, behind Canada (13 p.c) and Kazakhstan (43 p.c). Additionally it is house to the Wiluna uranium venture, a well-established uranium useful resource, which can be the flagship asset of Toro Power (ASX:TOE), a uranium exploration and growth mining firm that actively seeks to uncover worth from different commodities in its present extremely potential venture floor.

As of September 24, 2024, Toro holds JORC-compliant uranium assets of 112.7 million kilos (Mlbs) uranium oxide (U₃O₈), which incorporates the flagship Wiluna venture, Dawson Hinkler deposit (100 ppm U₃O₈ cut-off), and Theseus and Nowthanna deposit (200 ppm U₃O₈ cut-off).

The 100-percent-owned Wiluna uranium venture contains three key deposits – Lake Maitland, Centipede-Millipede and Lake Means – and affords important uranium publicity of 87.8 million tons (Mt) at 381 ppm for 73.6 Mlbs U₃O₈ at 100 ppm cut-off (JORC 2012). It’s positioned solely 30 kilometers southeast of Wiluna in Central Western Australia.

The Wiluna uranium venture has acquired state and federal approval (topic to required amendments) and has been granted mining leases.

Appreciable analysis over latest years has recognized processing redesign alternatives from distinctive geological attributes inside the uranium deposits, however notably at Lake Maitland, in addition to the flexibility to extract the inherent vanadium held inside the uranium ‘ore’ for a vanadium by-product.

Throughout the uranium mineralization envelope, the Wiluna venture is estimated to comprise 141.8 Mt vanadium oxide (V₂O₅) at 286 ppm for 89.3 Mlbs of V₂O₅ at 100 ppm V₂O₅ cut-off (JORC 2012), as of September 24, 2024.

The distinctive geology of the Lake Maitland deposit and the processing redesign have allowed for a mining and processing possibility solely for Lake Maitland, that might be financial by itself or be the financial spearhead of a longer-term, bigger Wiluna mining operation (depending on market circumstances and approvals). The stand-alone Lake Maitland possibility, aided by the financial effectivity of the brand new processing design, leads to a transformational potential enhance in manufacturing from the Lake Maitland deposit.

The
scoping research for the stand-alone Lake Maitland uranium-vanadium operation possibility reveals potential for distinctive monetary returns with a pre-tax NPV of AU$832.8 million, a brief payback interval of two.5 years, 48 p.c inside fee of return, and low capex of AU$291 million (US$203 million), primarily based on worth assumption of US$85/lb U₃O₈, US$5.67/lb V₂O₅ and a 70 cents US$:AU$ change fee.

In September 2024, the Lake Maitland deposit has been
re-estimated utilizing a useful resource envelope extra according to the opposite Wiluna uranium deposits; allowed the reducing of the cut-off grade to 100ppm U₃O₈, increasing Lake Maitland assets by 12 p.c and that of the complete Wiluna venture by 17 p.c (when the expansions at Lake Means and Centipede-Millipede are additionally included).

The design part of Toro Power’s beneficiation and hydrometallurgical
pilot plant is on monitor and according to plans to finalise building on the finish of 2024-beginning of 2025. . The pilot plant will take a look at the improved beneficiation and hydrometallurgical circuit developed by Toro from bench scale analysis at a closer-to-production scale and as single streams. It can additionally take a look at potential ore from the three uranium-vanadium deposits that Toro believes will make up an prolonged Lake Maitland operation – these embrace Lake Maitland, Lake Means and Centipede-Millipede.

The corporate will begin a big
sonic core drill program to offer bulk, however focused potential ore, for the upcoming pilot plant program in 2025.

The Lake Maitland deposit is a part of a three way partnership partnership with two respected Japanese companies, Japan Australia Uranium Useful resource Growth. (JAURD) and Itochu.

Toro has been actively evaluating the prospectivity of its Wiluna asset portfolio for minerals aside from uranium, together with nickel and gold.

Toro’s Dusty nickel venture is positioned on the northern, japanese and southern shores of Lake Maitland and the Lake Maitland uranium deposit and is targeted on two fundamental goal areas: Dusty and Yandal One. These properties would be the topic
of a proposed demerger, following Toro’s latest strategic assessment of its non-core property and future plans to solely concentrate on its uranium growth alternatives and its flagship Wiluna venture.

Toro Power’s administration group and board of administrators have intensive expertise within the mining {industry}, with mixed experience that features working at main mining homes, exploration firms, uranium mining operations, company financing and authorities and neighborhood relations.

Toro’s Lake Maitland tenure is positioned within the Yandal Greenstone Belt inside the Yilgarn Craton of Western Australia, a gold district inside a world-class gold and nickel province. With little exploration for non-uranium minerals ever performed on the properties, Toro considers the venture space extremely potential for nickel, gold and base metals.

In 2020, Toro made a blind discovery of huge and semi-massive nickel sulphides related to the bottom of a 7.5-kilometer unbroken size of beforehand unknown komatiite (Dusty komatiite) – arguably the primary huge nickel sulphides found within the Yandal Greenstone Belt, which is positioned 50 kilometers east of the world-class Mt. Keith nickel deposit. The Dusty nickel venture is positioned close to the Lake Maitland uranium deposit and incorporates two key goal areas: Dusty and Yandal One.

Continued exploration and diamond drilling on the venture has resulted in 4 discoveries of huge/semi-massive nickel sulphide zones to this point with solely 4.5 kilometers examined to this point at a single depth alongside a 7.5-kilometer komatiite magnetic pattern. Solely restricted testing for enormous nickel sulphides has been undertaken to this point of an roughly 15-kilometer strike size of identified komatite – ultramafic goal rock. With such restricted drilling on the Lake Maitland tenure, it’s but to be identified whether or not different comparable magnetic anomalies are additionally komatiite-ultramafic rock and the way far more rock is potential for enormous nickel sulphides on Toro’s 100-percent-owned Dusty nickel venture.
