Laramide Resources Ltd. (ASX:LAM) has entered into a three-year option agreement with Aral Resources Ltd. for the Chu-Sarysu Project in the Suzak District of the South Kazakhstan Oblast, Republic of Kazakhstan. The project comprises 22 subsoil use license applications for approximately 6,000 km2 and is proximal to major uranium deposits and operational mines such as Inkai, Budenovskoye, and Muyunkum-Tortkuduk.
The President and CEO of Laramide, Marc Henderson, expressed enthusiasm about the opportunity, stating, 'The opportunity to explore in one of the world's most prolific and prospective uranium basins appears to us to be a very compelling and overlooked opportunity, particularly within an industry dynamic where the uranium supply deficit is now consensus thinking, and where nuclear power's global growth ambitions will absolutely require greenfield discovery of new deposits.'
