This Transaction is anticipated to unlock considerable value for both Energy Fuels and Base Resources shareholders, owing to identifiable synergies. Base Resources’ Toliara project in Madagascar stands out as a world-class, advanced-stage, low-cost, and large-scale heavy mineral sands endeavor.
Beyond its capacity for standalone production of ilmenite, rutile (titanium), and zircon (zirconium), the project boasts significant quantities of Monazite, a valuable source of rare earth elements (REEs) crucial for electric vehicles (EVs) and various clean energy and advanced technologies.
Energy Fuels is presently engaged in substantive discussions with several U.S. government agencies and other entities offering financial backing for critical mineral projects domestically and internationally. These discussions encompass potential grants, low-interest debt, non- or limited-recourse debt, loan guarantees, and other forms of support.
Energy Fuels holds a unique position to extract substantial value from Toliara’s low-cost Monazite production, a capability the Company believes is unmatched by any other facility in the U.S. at present. Energy Fuels will have access to Base Resources’ seasoned heavy mineral sands operations team and proven leadership as part of this transaction.
Energy Fuels team has a commendable track record in responsible asset development, construction, commissioning, and profitable production in Africa. The Base Resources team will not only continue to oversee the development and operation of Toliara but will also bolster Energy Fuels’ heavy mineral sands operations in Australia and Brazil. This strategic alignment will enable the Company to optimize the value of all its projects for the benefit of its shareholders.
