Impact: Positive
Fission Uranium has expanded its technical team by appointing several experienced professionals with expertise in all aspects of mining including, mine engineering, health and safety, and mineral processing. These hires should not only help maintain the development plans at its flagship PLS project as anticipated while it progresses through engineering design, environmental assessment and permitting stages, but elevate its team to a new level of technical capability. We believe these appointments removes any doubt about Fission’s decision to develop the mine alone as it builds its team. The hires are well-timed as these skill sets are required for several of Fission’s upcoming catalysts, including: 1) Advanced engineering and design (H2/23), 2) Submittal of EIA (2024), 3) Final permits/license (2025-26), 4) Commencement of construction (2026), and 5) Initial production (2028-29).
