American Uranium (ASX:AMU)
Company Profile
Lo Herma is AMU’s flagship and most developed project, leading its project portfolio and strong presence in the area. While it remains the first priority, AMU also holds GDB/Thor, Green Mountain and Henry Mountains, each offering potential for further growth across proven uranium districts. Located in Wyoming’s premier uranium basin, the 13,500-acre Lo Herma project hosts a defined 8.57 Mlb resource with substantial growth potential.
A recent Interim Scoping Study confirms low-cost development potential with drilling ready to expand and upgrade the resource. Surrounded by major ISR producers and backed by strategic investors, Lo Herma reflects AMU’s high standards, ethical approach to mining, and dedication to supporting American uranium supply independence for future generations.
