UA92 Botswana Uran
~2.414 km² über Schürfrechte im Central District Botswanas — Ziel: sandsteingebundenes Uran in der Ecca-Gruppe (Karoo-Supergruppe).
Sandsteingebundene Uran-Ziele
Das UA92-Projekt umfasst Schürfrechte mit einer Gesamtfläche von etwa 2.414 km² im Central District Botswanas. Die Lizenzen zielen auf sandsteingebundene Uranmineralisation innerhalb der Ecca-Gruppe der Karoo-Supergruppe ab — dasselbe geologische Umfeld, das mehrere Uranlagerstätten von Weltklasse im südlichen Afrika beherbergt.
Das Projektgebiet liegt zwischen den Städten Orapa und Francistown, etwa 20 km westlich der Letlhakane-Lagerstätte (Lotus Resources), die 113,7 Mio. Pfund U₃O₈ enthält. Diese Nähe zu einer bewährten Analoglagerstätte bietet eine starke geologische Stütze für die Explorations-These.
Hinweis: Etwa die Hälfte der ursprünglichen Schürfrechte wurde aufgegeben, wodurch sich die Gesamtfläche von ~4.407 km² auf die aktuellen ~2.414 km² reduziert hat. Die beibehaltenen Lizenzen decken das vielversprechendste Gebiet basierend auf der geologischen Bewertung ab.

Schürfrechte
Etwa 2.414 km² beibehaltene Lizenzen, die das vielversprechendste Gebiet im Central District Botswanas abdecken.
Approximately half of the original 7 prospecting licenses (~4,407 km²) were relinquished following geological assessment. The retained licences cover the most prospective portions of the Ecca Group target horizon, selected based on proximity to the Letlhakane analog and favorable structural geology.

- 7 PLs (PL143–PL148, PL220/2023)
- Original Area
- ~4,407 km²
- Retained Area
- ~2.414 km²
- Target Formation

UA92 prospecting license blocks (PL143/2023 – PL148/2023, PL220/2023) in Botswana's Central District, adjacent to the Lotus Resources Letlhakane deposit.
Letlhakane Deposit
A world-class uranium deposit located just 20 km east of the UA92 licence area, demonstrating the prospectivity of the geological setting.
Letlhakane is owned by Lotus Resources and represents one of the largest undeveloped uranium deposits in Africa. Located approximately 20 km east of the UA92 licence area, it contains 113.7 million lb U₃O₈ at 142.2 Mt averaging 363 ppm. The deposit is hosted within the same Ecca Group (Karoo Supergroup) sedimentary sequence that UA92 targets — providing a compelling geological analog for the exploration thesis.
Team Uranium Track Record
Key team members have been involved in the discovery and development of two major Karoo-basin uranium deposits.
Discovered by Uranium One, led by team members now at Union Power Metals. Karoo basin analog geology — same sedimentary and structural setting as the UA92 project.
Karoo basin — same geological setting as UA92 Botswana. Discovered through the Uranium One / Rosatom group exploration programs.

Uranium Market Tailwinds
Structural supply-demand dynamics and renewed nuclear demand from AI and data centers are driving the uranium market.
Uranium term prices have risen 142% over the past five years, reflecting structural undersupply and renewed demand.
66 nuclear reactors are currently under construction globally, with many more in planning and approval stages.
AI hyperscalers — Google, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and Amazon — are driving unprecedented nuclear energy demand for data center power.
