Disclosed Project Economics Across the Peer Group
Publicly-disclosed project facts from each company's own filed technical reports, corporate filings, and press releases. All figures represent the peer's own disclosure for their own project — Union Power Metals has not completed a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA), and the figures below do not represent any valuation of Union Power Metals' own projects.

How This Table Is Compiled
- Live prices come from TradingView's free market data feed and reflect each exchange's most recent trade. Prices update automatically during exchange trading hours.
- Project economics (NPV, IRR, LOM, CAPEX) are each company's own disclosure from their filed technical reports (NI 43-101, JORC) and press releases. Click the source link in each row to review the full filing.
- Union Power Metals has not completed a PEA and makes no economic claim about Svabovce or Michalova. The 24.3 Mt figure is a historic GKZ estimate — not an NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource.
- Nothing on this page is an offer, solicitation, investment advice, recommendation, or forecast. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Peers are shown for industry context only.
Economic figures (NPV, IRR, LOM, production targets) cited for each peer company are drawn from that company's own publicly-filed technical reports and press releases — they apply only to those peers' projects and do not represent any analysis, valuation, or forecast of Union Power Metals' own projects. Nothing on this page constitutes an offer, solicitation, investment advice, or recommendation. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Please consult a registered financial advisor before making investment decisions.
