As global demand for secure domestic uranium supply continues to strengthen, management believes that Eagle is uniquely positioned to become a cornerstone of America’s future nuclear fuel supply chain.”“A critical milestone along the path to a PFS at Aurora is the drill program that has been specifically designed to provide samples and data that will feed into the various studies comprising the PFS. Activity this quarter was highlighted by the completion of several key environmental and site-readiness initiatives at Aurora in preparation for the commencement of the PFS-related drill program. We also launched an expansive environmental baseline studies campaign, which will support environmental impact assessments, mine design optimization and future permitting at Aurora,” said Mukhija. “These studies will remain ongoing as we look to develop Aurora in an environmentally responsible and sustainable manner.”“We have moved quickly to collect critical data, explore sustainable practices and forge foundational partnerships that will set the course for future growth at Aurora. In addition to the technical work programs at Aurora, we have also taken the initiative to become more involved in the discussions around the challenges, solutions and critical necessity of domestic uranium production within the United States. Over the early summer months, we have held several meetings with representatives from the Uranium Producers of America and U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation, in Washington DC. These conversations are essential to ensuring the policies and investments needed to strengthen the nation’s uranium industry keep pace with growing demand,” continued Mukhija.“Within our SMR program, we continue to take steps to advance our reactor initiative highlighted by the recent engagement of Tensor Medium Corporation (“Tensor Medium”) announced in June. Tensor Medium’s AI-enabled reactor modeling and simulation capabilities will directly support our efforts to optimize the design of our next-generation SMR technology. We believe this partnership is integral in the evolution of our broader SMR development initiatives.”This advertisement has not loaded yet.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.“We are encouraged by our recent achievements as we continue to methodically and responsibly advance the Aurora project, which anchor’s Eagle’s long-term strategy, alongside advanced SMR technology. The second quarter has set the stage for continued development at our Aurora site, as we work to help restore a secure domestic nuclear supply chain that addresses the rapid growth in energy demand. We are excited to continue executing on our strategic priorities and will provide further updates as we progress ahead.”Recent Operational UpdatesApril 2026: Announcement of expected drill program, engagement with Harris Exploration Drilling & Associates Inc. to provide the drill rigs that will be used to complete the drill program at Aurora. Formally filed our permit applications with the federal Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) and the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (“DOGAMI”). All of these actions have advanced Eagle towards a pre-feasibility study and development of our Aurora site.May 2026: Commenced a comprehensive environmental baseline studies campaign in advance of the PFS, designed to collect critical environmental data at the Aurora site. Completed meteorological station installation, wetland delineation study, and cultural survey to help support the broad advancement of Aurora.June 2026: Engaged Tensor Medium to support SMR program, bringing AI-enabled reactor modeling and simulation capabilities to Eagle’s next-generation SMR development efforts.July 2026: Announced partnerships with Yukuskon Professional Services, LLC, BBA USA Inc. and SLR International Corporation to help execute the Aurora drill program and progress towards the expected PFS.Liquidity and Balance SheetAt May 31, 2026, the Company had a cash balance of $28.1 million and no outstanding interest-bearing debt, with liabilities consisting primarily of operating obligations.Additional detail on the Company’s quarterly financial results can be found in the recent 10-Q filed with the SEC on July 20, 2026.About Eagle Nuclear Energy Corp.Eagle Nuclear Energy Corp. is a next-generation nuclear energy company that combines domestic uranium exploration with access to certain Small Modular Reactor (SMR) technology.
