It has also just applied for additional tenements that may expand the resource well beyond this U3O8 target.<\/p>\n<p>The Company\u2019s second asset, H\u00e4gg\u00e5n in Sweden, is predominately a vanadium project hosted in a large polymetallic orebody. It is flagged to produce uranium as a by-product and already has a defined 800mlb U3O8 resource base.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Grove to navigate uranium project development<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Grove brings more than 30 years of mining and finance experience to AEE, including significant expertise in uranium and West African development, financing and operations.<\/p>\n<p>He was recently MD of Chesser Resources which was acquired by Fortuna Silver Mines late last year at a 95% premium.<\/p>\n<p>Grove has also spent considerable time with the likes of Perseus Mining and Macquarie Bank and is currently a non-executive director of lithium explorer <a href=\"https:\/\/stockhead.com.au\/company\/zenith-minerals-znc\/\">Zenith Minerals (ASX:ZNC)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am delighted and very excited to be joining AEE and to become part of the team that intends to deliver the high-quality Tiris uranium project in Mauritania, into a market that recognises the critical role nuclear energy has to play in the global, low-carbon energy transition,\u201d Grove says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe current drilling program offers AEE the opportunity to expand its resource base to more than 100Mlb and we believe that with the additional tenure applied for in December 2023, we have significant potential to identify additional shallow economic uranium mineralisation around both Tiris West and at Tiris East.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am similarly excited about AEE\u2019s 2Bt H\u00e4gg\u00e5n polymetallic deposit in Sweden. During the past year, AEE has put in a substantial amount of time to engage with stakeholders in Sweden, locally and nationally.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have seen some regulatory progress in Sweden as far as simplifying the permit process for mining. I look forward to continuing the Swedish stakeholder dialogue and be part of a successful application for H\u00e4gg\u00e5n.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe asset represents significant value, including 800Mlbs of uranium resources, that is not currently fully reflected in the AEE share price.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Woodall departs<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Grove\u2019s appointment follows the resignation of David Woodall as CEO and MD, having been instrumental in driving forward the Tiris project\u2019s enhanced definitive feasibility study (DFS) and the Haggan scoping study.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHaving considered the likely demands of international travel and workload for 2024 and beyond, I have advised the board of my resignation as MD and CEO,\u201d Woodall says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have immensely enjoyed the challenges of the global push towards clean energy and have no doubt that a company such as AEE will be at the forefront of the industry in the years to come; however, to continue as I have throughout 2023 would be to place excessive strain on family and me personally.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>AEE non-executive chair Phil Mitchell thanked Woodall for his efforts to position the company\u2019s assets on the cusp of development.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDave has made a significant contribution and materially progressed both the Tiris uranium project through to a FEED study and the H\u00e4gg\u00e5n project to a scoping study with promising results,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p><span class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>This article was developed in collaboration with Aura Energy, a Stockhead advertiser at the time of publishing.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>This article does not constitute financial product advice.
