His extensive experience and dedicaon to what Neo Energy is striving to achieve makes it a logical move and Jason's leadership is instrumental in driving our growth and achieving our goals in this dynamic market. I look forward to working more closely with Jason as we push forward on our strategy to become an important supplier to the fast-growing uranium sector.

"Having set ambious targets focused on advancing our low-cost Henkries uranium project in South Africa towards a 2-year producon plan, we eagerly ancipate sharing regular updates on the company's progress over the coming months.

Notes

Neo Energy Metals plc aims to become an important supplier to the fast-growing uranium sector. Its inial focus is on its 70% owned Henkries Uranium Project, an advanced, low-cost uranium project in the Northern Cape Province of South Africa with a clear pathway to producon. +US$30m of historical exploraon, drilling, test ping and mining, metallurgical test-work and pilot plant work has been undertaken at the Project, culminang in a published feasibility study.

Headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya, Neo Energy is now focused on increasing the mineral resources at Henkries from the current esmated 4.7 million pounds of uranium, (which is highly probable as less than 10% of prospecve ground is fully tested), and compleng an updated feasibility study ahead of reaching a development decision by November 2025.

Led by a proven board and management team with uranium and other mineral project development experience in Southern Africa, Neo Energy's strategy is layered on a two-year development approach to generate cashflow from Henkries with a view towards building a longer term exploraon and porolio growth strategy to develop the highly prospecve Northern Cape Region of South Africa and, potenally, broader regional expansion into energy metal property holdings globally.
