Infrastructure • Key activities • Vice Ministry of Mines and Energy • Regulation and control • Other studies • Uranium Energy Corp. (UEC) • Yuty Project: Development of ISR extraction project (UEC). • Cnel. Oviedo Project: Exploration phase (UEC). • Key resources • Human Resources - Ministry; UEC experts • Physical resources – Laboratories, Institutions • Financial – Annual government budget, UEC exploration expenditure • Intellectual – Exploration data; ISR test work • Key partners • Ministry of Public Works and Communications (MOPC)
Value Propositions • Environmentally friendly, low-cost, uranium production with a strategic regional energy security focus and to provide revenue, employment and social benefits to Paraguay • ISR: - extraction system environmentally friendly. - highly favourable geological conditions (confinement, hydrogeology, permeability) indicated by aquifer test. -Low cost production compared to traditional methods. - Strategic location of deposits in nuclear projects developing region (Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia). • Yuty Project: advances in to Exploitation phase. - Measured and Indicated Resources 8,914 millions pounds grading 0.052% U3O8 with an Inferred Resource of 2,226 millions pounds grading 0.047% U3O8. • Cnel. Oviedo Project: in Exploration phase. - 23 to 56 millions pounds (NI 43101 explorations target) • In exploration stage was employed about 150 people
Customers • Customer Segments • Regional focus: Projects located in a Developing Nuclear Region (Strategically located near Argentina, Brazil and Bolivia) • Government: Information on uranium resources and project development for planning and decision making.
Finances • Cost structure YUTY PROJECT • $ 16 millions in exploration activities during exploration phase. • $ 26 millions exploration + administrative. • Initial planned investment for development phase: $ 28 millions. • Low cost ISR production • Low impact on the environment CORONEL OVIEDO PROJECT • $ 3,5 millions in exploration activities. • Approx. expenditure of $ 700.000 to 1 millions for annual exploration activities • Low cost ISR production • Low impact on the environment • Revenue streams • Funded by Uranium Energy Corp (UEC), ISR American producer. • Government support
