What did Deep Yellow report?

Group cash balance of A$187.1 million at quarter end
Tumas Project detailed engineering >60% complete; bulk earthworks 24% complete
Power supply agreement executed for Tumas Project
Exploration drilling at Tinkas Prospect confirmed uranium mineralisation with thicknesses up to 11 metres from surface
Mulga Rock Project feasibility and trade-off studies underway after successful pilot programs
Leadership transition with appointment of Greg Field as Managing Director and CEO, effective February 2026

What else do investors need to know?

Deep Yellow made progress across its diversified development pipeline last quarter. At the Tumas Project, the company completed a key independent technical expert report, meeting a major debt financing milestone. The Power Supply Agreement was executed and water infrastructure negotiations continue, helping de-risk the project ahead of a potential final investment decision.

The company's exploration activities at the Tinkas Prospect and along the Tumas palaeochannel provided positive uranium mineralisation results, though follow-up drilling west of Tumas showed limited new discovery potential. Mulga Rock's feasibility work and field surveys also advanced as Deep Yellow continues establishing a platform for future uranium output.

What's next for Deep Yellow?

Deep Yellow aims to finalise detailed engineering and continue early works at Tumas in coming months, along with progressing power and water infrastructure agreements. Updated project schedules and financial models are being prepared to support a final investment decision when market conditions are right.

The company remains focused on its dual-pillar growth strategy, with coming milestones expected from project financing, feasibility studies at Mulga Rock, and exploration updates from its Namibian and Australian assets. Management highlights a commitment to becoming a globally diversified, long-term uranium supplier.
