The Group has a 1% life of mine NSR royalty on the project, which is operated by ASX-listed Berkeley Energia Limited (‘Berkeley’). The project consists of four main deposits (Retortillo, Alameda, Zona 7 and Gambuta).
Operation/update
Authorisation for construction for the uranium concentrate plant as a radioactive facility (NSC II) is the only key approval required to commence full construction of the Salamanca mine. MITECO rejected the initial NSC II application, a ruling which Berkeley subsequently appealed. However, MITECO rejected Berkeley’s appeal in early 2023. Berkeley continues to follow various other avenues of appeal within Spain.
