Highlights from 2024
Energy Sands Exploration Success:
- Collected 41 samples, with 13 showing over 1% U₃O₈, including a standout result of 18.8% U₃O₈.
- Developed a geological model to guide future drilling, building on historical high-grade results and the success of the recent ground sampling program on this past-producing property.
Jupiter Project Acquisition:
- Acquired a strategic uranium property featuring over 100+ densely drilled historical holes, providing valuable data for resource development.
Permits Secured:
- Obtained the Notice of Intention (NOI) to commence exploration, enabling transformative drilling campaigns at the 100%-owned Energy Sands and the Jupiter projects in Utah.
Leadership Expansion:
- Strengthened the team with the addition of Derrick Strickland to the Board of Directors and Mike Magrum to the Advisory Board, bringing decades of industry expertise.
2025 Outlook
Pegasus is poised to commence drilling at its two flagship uranium projects in Utah:
- Energy Sands Project:
- Jupiter Project:
Plans include 18 drill holes with an average depth of 178 feet, totaling approximately 3,200 feet of drilling. These efforts will target mineral-hosting paleochannels identified in the geological model and historical high-grade intercepts of over 2% U₃O₈.
The program includes 30 drill holes with an average depth of 550 feet, totaling approximately 15,360 feet of drilling. This property’s extensive historical drilling data will guide efforts to define a current resource estimate.
With these drilling campaigns, Pegasus aims to further advance its projects toward resource development, meet the growing global demand for uranium, and strengthen its position in the energy sector. The Company remains committed to delivering shareholder value through strategic exploration and development initiatives.
Evaluation of Strategic Acquisitions and Corporate Opportunities
Pegasus has been successful in its cost-efficient property expansion and acquisition strategy, as highlighted by the Jupiter acquisition, which will continue to be a core focus for value creation. The Company will continue to explore areas for collaboration and development of all its assets, as it seeks to create shareholder value.
Macro and Micro Tailwinds
The uranium sector is undergoing a renaissance, driven by surging global demand for clean energy and the growing need for secure domestic supply chains. Pegasus’ Utah projects are strategically positioned to capitalize on these dynamics, supported by local infrastructure and proven uranium potential:
Macro Tailwinds: A Global Energy Shift
- Surging Demand for Clean Energy: As nations worldwide pursue net-zero carbon emissions, nuclear power is emerging as a cornerstone of clean energy strategies. Its reliability as a baseload power source makes it indispensable in the transition away from fossil fuels.
- Uranium Supply Deficit: Despite growing demand, uranium production has lagged, leading to tightening supplies. This supply-demand imbalance is setting the stage for sustained price increases.
- US Government Support: The U.S. government has prioritized domestic uranium production, recognizing it as critical to energy security. Recent bipartisan initiatives, such as the establishment of a $75 million strategic uranium reserve, underscore the commitment to reducing reliance on foreign uranium supplies.
- Nuclear Expansion: Over 60 new reactors are under construction globally, with many more in planning phases, ensuring long-term demand for uranium.
Micro Tailwinds: Utah’s Strategic Importance
- Proven Uranium Potential: Utah is home to established uranium mining districts and producing mines, highlighting the region’s viability. With Pegasus’ Energy Sands and Jupiter projects located in uranium-rich areas, the opportunity to contribute to domestic production has never been greater.
- Proximity to Infrastructure: Utah benefits from existing uranium milling infrastructure, including Energy Fuels’ White Mesa Mill-the only operational conventional uranium mill in the U.S.-positioning Pegasus for cost-effective development.
- Energy Security Concerns: With geopolitical tensions affecting global energy markets, domestically sourced uranium is increasingly valued as a secure and reliable supply chain solution.
- High-Grade Discoveries: Pegasus’ exploration success, including Energy Sands sample results of up to 18.8% U₃O₈, positions the Company as a key player in unlocking new domestic uranium resources.
The Time Is Now
The combination of global uranium demand, supportive government policies, and the strategic advantages of Pegasus’ Utah projects present a compelling opportunity for investors. Pegasus is uniquely positioned to capitalize on these tailwinds, advancing critical energy resources while delivering significant shareholder value.
