Description

In this episode, we chat with Greg Cochran, MD of Aurora Energy Metals. It is an Australian-owned company focused on the exploration and development of its Aurora Energy Metals Project in Oregon, USA. The project hosts a defined uranium resource and is prospective for lithium. Greg is a highly regarded international mining executive with over 30 years of experience in general management and in senior commercial and technical roles. With a background in mine engineering, he has operated at the MD/CEO level for the last 15 years, in Africa, Australia and Asia, in a broad spectrum of minerals including uranium, potash and other industrial minerals and base metals. He tells us more about Aurora Energy Metals and discusses, in more depth, the uranium market which is his expertise.Greg is also going to be speaking at the upcoming Mines and Money event in London at the end of November 2022. So, be sure to reach out to him there in person if you have any further questions. Enjoy the episode. KEY TAKEAWAYS There is a uranium revival on the way. Energy security is fundamental and the benefits of nuclear are being recognised. Their Oregon project is one of the largest uranium projects in the US. Mining uranium at scale is far more environmentally sustainable than the old approach of hundreds of small operations. Having both lithium and uranium to mine provides Aurora with the ability to pivot between the two. The mineral Acts that have been passed by Biden are supportive of minerals, which is good news for Aurora Energy Metals. There is the potential for state funding. The site can tap into a renewable energy source, which is extremely cheap as well as clean. Potentially a pipeline or conveyor can be used to get the ore to Nevada for processing. Transportation solutions that have an exceptionally low impact on the environment. BEST MOMENTS‘produce for 10 to 50 years 1.5 to 2 million pounds of uranium. ´‘Countries are recognising nuclear energy’s benefits as we recognise renewables benefits.’‘Number 1 it´s (renewable energy) cost-effective. Number 2 it's clean, it's zero emissions.’ EPISODE RESOURCESWebsite: https://auroraenergymetals.com/FOLLOW US ON TWITTER: https://twitter.com/Aurora_1AEFOLLOW US ON LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/company/aurora-energy-metals “Resourcing Tomorrow” is Europe's largest and most in-depth mining conference dedicated to global sustainability goals and is coming to London this November.
