Samphire Project Uranium Recovery

testing and validation phase

Alligator Energy announced a breakthrough at its Samphire Project in South Australia, achieving a 70% uranium recovery rate during initial field trials. The milestone marks a critical step in validating the technical and economic viability of the site’s in-situ recovery operations. The trial results confirmed high-level performance across several key metrics, including solution grades averaging 115 milligrams per litre of uranium oxide and flow rates exceeding five litres per second, demonstrating superior permeability. The project also reported highly favourable reagent consumption and a 98% recovery rate in downstream processing. The company is preparing to commence a second well pattern to target lower-grade, less permeable margins to further refine hydrogeological understanding.
