Eagle Energy Metals Corp. (锟紼agle锟� or the 锟紺ompany锟�), a next-generation nuclear energy company with rights to the largest open pit-constrained, measured and indicated uranium deposit in the United States and proprietary Small Modular Reactor (锟絊MR锟�) technology, is pleased to announce today that it has engaged BBA USA Inc. (锟紹BA锟�), an eminent consulting firm with more than 45 years of experience in the energy and natural resources sector, to develop and design a limited drilling campaign in support of an eventual Pre-Feasibility Study (锟絇FS锟�) at its Aurora Uranium Project (锟紸urora锟� or the 锟絇roject锟�).
BBA will design and optimize the number, location, and orientation of drill holes to help achieve specific objectives that will each play a critical role in the completion of the PFS. These objectives include (1) advanced metallurgical testing and process flow sheet design, (2) hydrogeological analysis, (3) geotechnical and rock mechanics analysis, (4) mineral resource classification enhancement, and (5) mineral resource expansion. BBA previously completed Aurora锟絪 S-K 1300 Mineral Resource Estimate and authored the related Technical Report Summary in August 2025, providing technical continuity as the Project advances.
锟絎e锟絩e seeing sustained demand for nuclear power translate into real demand for uranium, particularly for projects located in the U.S.,锟� said Mark Mukhija, CEO of Eagle Energy Metals. 锟紸dvancing Aurora with BBA is about making sure this asset is ready to meet that demand as the market continues to tighten. We believe that the continued development at Aurora paired with this significant industry demand furthers our ability to become a strategic national asset and leading domestic supplier of nuclear power.锟�
BBA锟絪 engagement supports Eagle锟絪 broader strategy as the Company continues to progress toward its planned Nasdaq listing under the ticker symbol 锟絅UCL锟� in connection with its proposed business combination with Spring Valley Acquisition Corp. II (OTC: SVIIF).
Demand for nuclear power is increasing as technology companies seek reliable, long-term energy to support artificial intelligence and large-scale data centers. Recently, Meta announced agreements with nuclear energy providers including TerraPower and Oklo to help supply electricity for its planned Prometheus AI supercluster in Ohio, reinforcing the growing role of nuclear energy and the importance of a secure, domestic uranium supply.
