SEPTEMBER QUARTERLY REPORT 31(st) Oct 2018
KEY POINTS:
QUARTER SUMMARY
Aura Energy continued to forge ahead with detailed work on the
Tiris Uranium Project Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) which
included significant engineering work. Work on the Häggån Vanadium
Project also progressed well with detailed assessment of the
Capital and Operating costs for the proposed project.
On the relevant commodity front, Vanadium was outstanding with
the price now at US$33.90/lb(1) which is almost a doubling of price
in the last quarter alone.
The vanadium price rise further drives Aura's conviction that
little of Häggån's intrinsic value is reflected in Aura's share
price and as such will continue to pursue actions to have this
value reflected. The uranium price has also made gains, albeit more
modest, but continues a steady pattern with little retracement, a
good environment for moving Tiris Uranium towards production.
During the September quarter, Aura completed;
-- Capital and Operating estimates for the Häggån Vanadium Project
-- Preliminary financial cases of the Häggån Vanadium Project
-- Development of the final Tiris Uranium Project process flowsheet
-- Preliminary evaluation of the recovery of vanadium at Tiris
-- Appointment of two engineering firms for Tiris DFS engineering cost estimates and studies

HÄGGÅN BATTERY METALS PROJECT, SWEDEN (AURA 100%)
The Häggån Vanadium Project Scoping Study is progressing well
with substantial technical work completed over the past 8 weeks.
Metallurgical test work combined with project capital and operating
cost estimates have strongly increased Aura's confidence in the
project.
Aura has studied the recovery of vanadium from the Häggån ore
for many years; however, the vanadium price did not encourage
further work at that time. During the 2012 Häggån Scoping Study (As
released to the market on 7 February 2012 and 29 May 2012), Aura
conducted the following work in relation to vanadium (As released
to the market on 25 October 2018, and specifically Appendix 1 of
the Announcement, dated 25 October 2018, for analysis of
preliminary beneficiation testwork undertaken):
-- Vanadium deportment was characterised and shown to be present
in the V(III) valence state, hosted in the mica mineral roscoelite
(K(V3+, Al, Mg)2AlSi3O10(OH)2)
-- Three programs of work monitored vanadium extraction,
including 2 programs dedicated to evaluation of vanadium processing
options
-- Upgrade by de-slime hydrocyclone of 1.35 times vanadium feed
grade could be achieved with 73% recovery and rejection of 45% of
feed mass
-- Oxalate salt roast with acid leach tests showed up to 59% vanadium recovery
-- Calcination with acid leach showed up to 32% vanadium recovery
Acid pressure leach showed up to 61% vanadium recovery on fresh
ore material that had not been subjected to any beneficiation. This
initial work demonstrated that extraction of vanadium was
technically promising. This outcome drove the philosophy on the
current technical program.
With the current drive into vanadium at Häggån, Aura built on
this initial work and recently commissioned a series of test work
programs to understand the processing requirements of this
material. The test work steps were as follows:
-- Evaluation of beneficiation by flotation of mica minerals and
rejection of calcite at ALS Laboratories, Burnie Tasmania
-- This work demonstrated best preliminary results of 83% of
vanadium could be recovered to 64% of total mass, resulting in a
beneficiation factor of 1.3 times (sample: DDH022)
-- Additionally, rejection of 80% of calcite was achieved in
this preliminary work (sample: DDH022)
-- This calcite rejection will reduce acid consumption and operating costs
-- Characterisation of vanadium deportment with host minerals
and vanadium valence state at CSIRO Minerals
As part of the current study, Aura Energy engaged METS
Engineering of Perth to complete estimates for both the capital and
operating costs for the project. These estimates are now complete,
the results are very encouraging and have driven the progression of
the study to the next stage. Process options in this METS study
utilise well proven technology in an innovative configuration that
Aura believes will significantly improve the viability of
processing vanadium black shale resources.
Preliminary costing has been completed by METS on the two
process flow sheet configurations defined and is deemed to be
technically viable based on the test work completed.
Publication of projected financial information in the Häggån
Scoping Study requires the upgrade of the current Häggån Inferred
Resource estimate to the Measured & Indicated Category. Site
drilling has been slower than anticipated and whilst some drilling
will be completed this year, additional drilling will be required
to achieve this Resource classification upgrade. This drilling will
be completed early in the new year.
Vanadium Price Surging
The vanadium price has risen approximately 900% over the past 3
years and was most recently quoted at US$33.90 per lb (see
www.vanadiumprice.com vanadium pentoxide flake 98% price for
China), benefitting from significant structural shifts in the
Chinese steel industry where, in some cases, legislation has driven
a three-fold increase in vanadium use. Currently low inventory
levels with no near-term replacement capacity is driving this price
continued rise.
Aura continues to review the potential for an IPO of the Häggån
Vanadium Project and this activity remains current. Aura Energy has
a preference to complete the Häggån Vanadium IPO post the
completion of the Häggån Vanadium Scoping Study in order to
maximise value. With this interdependence on timing and the current
turbulent market conditions, Aura will continue to monitor whether
the previously anticipated IPO schedule is likely to be delayed to
early in 2019; however, other corporate initiatives underway may
still take place in 2018.
TIRIS PROJECT, MAURITANIA (AURA 100%)
Tiris Project Overview
Aura is conducting a Definitive Feasibility Study on its 100%
owned 52 million-pound U O Mineral Resource (As released to the
market on 30 April 2018 and Appendix 1 to this Announcement for
Measure, Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources by category)
calcrete uranium project in Mauritania (See Figure 1). The Tiris
Uranium Project (100%) is a near-term development project with
production expected in 2020. It has a 17 million pounds U(3) O(8)
resource in the Measured and Indicated category (As released to the
market on 30 April 2018) with US$45 million capital cost and
US$19.40/lb operating cost from the 2014 Tiris Scoping Study (As
released to the market on 16 July 2014).
(The capital and operating costs presented in the Scoping Study
reflected costs at that time with a relative low level of
confidence. The Company is presently undertaking a Definitive
Feasibility Study which will update these estimates in terms of
current market prices for both capital and operating costs and
therefore, increase the level of confidence in estimates. The
Company wishes to confirm that all the material assumptions
underpinning the production target and the forecast financial
information derived from the production target in the initial
public report continue to apply and have not materially
changed.)
Project Activities for the September Quarter
The Tiris DFS is progressing well with all major work targeted
for completion by year end. The DFS is in full progress on a number
of fronts, following a period of constrained activity due to
previous weakness in the uranium price.
The major recent DFS activities are;
-- Completion of a major bulk sampling exercise in the Sahara Desert site
-- Significant metallurgical test work initiated in both Australia and South Africa
-- Development of the final process flowsheet
-- Mincore Engineering engaged as overall Project Engineer
-- Simulus Engineering engaged for Leach Plant Engineering
-- Adelaide Control Engineering (ACE) engaged for u(3) o(8) recovery and packaging
-- Optimisation of the water usage given the project location
-- Geophysical study for water sourcing close to site to reduce costs
-- Establishment of vanadium as a potential project product
-- Aust Govt Innovation Connections grant awarded for program with ANSTO Minerals
Figure 1. Location of Aura's Tiris Uranium Resources
The Tiris Uranium Project is Aura's key development project with
a production target of 1 million pounds per annum (As released to
the market on 16 July 2014).
(The Company released to the market the Tiris Project Scoping
Study based a production rate of 1 million pounds per annum. Since
that date, the Company has continued to advance the Tiris Project
with resource drilling, metallurgical test work and engineering
studies. The Company is undertaking the DFS based on this
production rate; however, the Company is unable to state with
certainty that this production rate will be achieved. The Company
wishes to confirm that all the material assumptions underpinning
the production target and the forecast financial information
derived from the production target in the initial public report
continue to apply and have not materially changed.)
Process development
The development of the Tiris process flow sheet has been
significantly progressed for the DFS.
Ore from the Tiris Uranium Resource has favourable processing
characteristics, including:
-- Free digging calcrete ore with no need for crushing or
grinding. Only rotary scrubbing required to liberate uranium
bearing carnotite
-- Carnotite is very fine grained and well liberated, allowing
significant upgrade to be achieved by screening at 75um
-- Uranium beneficiation process allows rejection of most of the ore mass as barren waste
The Tiris process flow sheet has been summarised in Figure
2.
The process flow sheet includes a modular beneficiation plant,
consisting of rotary scrubbing and wet screening. The beneficiated
product is dewatered in a thickener and filter, with recovered
process water returned to the scrubbing and screening circuit. The
beneficiated product, representing 15% of initial feed mass is
leached in an alkaline carbonate leach at 90degC, with total
residence time of 12 hours (As released to the market on 16 July
2014). The uranium-rich leach solution is then recovered by
filtration and uranium recovered in an ion exchange circuit.
Concentrated uranium is then precipitated as Sodium Di-Uranate
(SDU) and then purified and re-precipitated to form the final UO(4)
product.
Figure 2. Tiris Uranium Project Process Block Flow Diagram
The Tiris process configuration has been finalised as part of
the DFS, with a focus on minimisation of capital requirements and
robust operation.
The process has been updated to locate the beneficiation circuit
close to the mining areas, with the configuration allowing it to be
transported as mining progresses across the tenements. This will
allow waste material, comprising 85% of mined material to be
directly deposited in mined areas. Beneficiated product (15% of
total mass) will be pumped as a slurry to the central process
plant. Each of the process circuits have been designed as modular
systems to provide flexibility in commissioning and capability for
future production expansion (As released to the market on 16 July
2014).
Engineering
DFS engineering design has commenced and initial contracts for
engineering of process circuits have been issued. Aura's focus for
engineering design has been on utilisation of modular systems to
improve efficiency in design, installation and commissioning.
Key process circuits and design criteria have been defined with
separate experienced engineering consultants focusing on each.
These include:
-- Modular beneficiation circuit
-- Modular leaching, ion exchange and uranium precipitation circuits
-- Modular uranium purification and packaging circuit
The DFS engineering contract for the Modular Beneficiation
Circuit, along with responsibility for integration of modular
systems and site infrastructure has been awarded to Mincore
Engineering, Melbourne, with completion expected Q1, 2019. Mincore
is an experienced engineering firm specialising in design of small
scale, innovative process circuits for a range of commodities.
The DFS engineering contract for design of the leaching, ion
exchange and uranium precipitation and purification circuits has
been awarded to Simulus Engineers, a Perth-based engineering firm
specialising in design and optimisation of hydrometallurgical
circuits. These circuits will utilise a pre-commissioned modular
design to allow for more efficient installation and
commissioning.
Metallurgical test work
Results of geometallurgical scrubbing and screening tests were
used to define 3 domains based on metallurgical response for use in
the DFS test work. Bulk composite samples of between 1,500kg and
2,000kg were prepared for use in the test work programs.
Mintek Laboratories have been retained to undertake test work on
the representative bulk composite samples for design of the rotary
scrubber and screening beneficiation circuit, using Derrick Stack
Sizer screens. Bulk samples are currently in transit from
Nouakchott, Mauritania to Johannesburg, South Africa.
ANSTO Minerals has been retained to undertake feasibility study
test work for design of the leaching, ion exchange and uranium
purification circuits.
The program will focus on:
-- Optimisation of leaching parameters, with focus on
opportunities to reduce reagent requirements
-- Design parameters for the ion exchange circuit
-- Optimisation of uranium precipitation and purification
circuits to reduce overall reagent requirements
Through this program, characterisation of the solid/liquid
separation behaviour of beneficiated product and leach residue will
be examined by Rheological Consulting Services. Representative
composite samples for the program with ANSTO Minerals have been
sent to Australia and are currently in preparation.
Innovation support
We are pleased to announce that Aura Energy has been awarded an
Australian Government Innovation Connections grant of AUD$50,000 to
support the test work program with ANSTO Minerals.
This grant is to facilitate Research projects in collaboration
with a Publicly Funded Research Organisation (PFRO), in this case
ANSTO Minerals, to develop a new idea with commercial potential. It
will assist Aura in development of the fast alkaline leach process
to be used in the Tiris Process.
Vanadium Process Flowsheet Option
Technical investigations during the DFS have indicated the
potential for the recovery of vanadium from the Tiris Uranium
Project process streams. Aura has conducted preliminary evaluation
of the feasibility of vanadium recovery from solution.
Vanadium occurs with uranium in carnotite, the host mineral for
uranium in the Tiris Project, as potassium uranium vanadate (K(2)
(UO(2) )(2) (VO(4) )(2) --3H(2) O). Vanadium hosted with carnotite
is leached alongside uranium in the Tiris extraction circuit.
The Tiris project value, which is driven by low operating and
development capital costs, would benefit further with vanadium
recovery which is considered technically achievable.
The vanadium price has risen approximately 900% over the past 3
years and was recently quoted at US$33.90 per pound (see
www.vanadiumprice.com vanadium pentoxide flake 98% price for
China), benefitting from significant structural shifts in the
Chinese steel industry where, in some cases, legislation has driven
a three-fold increase in vanadium use.
Water
Optimisation of the process flow sheet has resulted in reduction
in process water requirements by 60% from scoping study
estimates.
An initial survey of local water sources has been completed and
water analyses are currently underway. Geophysical study for
location of major water drilling targets has been commenced.
Aura is confident that adequate water for the process will be
available within a reasonable distance of the process plant.
Schedule
The DFS is currently on schedule for completion at year end 2018
with full release in Q1 2019.
Offtake and Financing Discussions
Aura has commenced discussions for both offtake of the uranium
product from Tiris and also financing requirements for project
construction.
Offtake discussions have been underway for some time whilst the
finance discussions remain at a preliminary stage and involve
international and Government agencies.
TASIAST SOUTH GOLD PROJECT, MAURITANIA (AURA 100%)
Aura holds applications for 3 exploration permits covering 600
km(2) in the Tasiast area (As released to the market on 27 June
2016). Grant of these permits has been slower than expected.
Programs of RC and air-core drilling and ground geophysics to test
already defined targets and to define additional targets are ready
to commence when the permits are granted.
The permit areas cover several greenstone belts which contain
gold mineralisation along strike, including the +20 million oz
Tasiast deposit and the Tijirit gold deposits currently being
actively drilled (See Figure 3). The areas have been evaluated by
only one previous explorer who identified a number of gold
mineralised zones, including the Ghassariat Zone where an
intersection of 71m of 0.3 g/t gold, including 5m of 1.2 g/t &
3m of 1.0 g/t were obtained in an RC drill hole. No follow-up
drilling has yet been conducted on this mineralised zone (As
released to the market on 27 June 2016).
Figure 3. Location of Aura's Gold application areas in relation
to known mineralisation
Aura also remains enthusiastic about its gold and base metals
strategy in Mauritania despite the significant delays in granting
of the tenement applications. The company paid the first-year
renewals for these prospects mid last year and continues to discuss
the delayed tenement grant with the government who has advised Aura
its tenement applications will be granted soon.
The company believes these are exceptional prospects which could
deliver Aura multiple projects.
