(“Eagle” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: NUCL), a next-generation nuclear energy company which owns the largest conventional, measured and indicated uranium deposit in the United States, today announced it has engaged global mining advisory firm, SLR International Corporation (“SLR Consulting”) as the lead permitting manager for the Aurora Uranium Project (“Aurora”), the Company’s flagship uranium asset located along the Oregon–Nevada border. SLR Consulting is world-renowned for providing technical, engineering, and environmental services to resource projects worldwide. The firm supports companies across all stages of project development, including geology, resource estimation, engineering studies, permitting, and environmental management. SLR’s designated team for Eagle has relevant experience and an excellent track-record with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI) for obtaining exploration and mining permits. Specifically, this team has demonstrated continued permitting success at Paramount Gold’s Grassy Mountain project and Jindalee Lithium’s McDermitt project, both of which are located in Malheur County, Oregon – the same county as Eagle’s Aurora project. SLR played an instrumental role in getting Jindalee’s McDermitt project’s permitting process fast-tracked under the US federal government’s FAST-41 initiative. Eagle’s management is collaborating with SLR to help get Aurora on the FAST-41 list as well, as we work towards achieving the requisite operational milestones over the next 12-18 months. Following this engagement, SLR will serve as Aurora’s program manager for all tasks related to environmental permitting as an integrated part of Eagle’s team. This includes conducting, and managing subcontractors to conduct, environmental baseline studies and providing exploration permitting support, including for geological activities, drill programs, metallurgical studies, hydrogeological studies and other environmental studies. SLR’s work at Aurora will help Eagle progress the Project toward a future Pre-Feasibility Stu...
