Hathor Exploration Limited: Roughrider PA Estimates C$1.0 Billion Pre-tax NPV, Using US$70 Uranium Price and 7% Discount Rate

Hathor Exploration Limited (TSX:HAT)

is pleased to announce summary results of a preliminary economic assessment ("PA") conducted for the Roughrider Uranium Deposit, located in the Athabasca Basin of Northern Saskatchewan. The PA includes the West and East Zones; it does not include the Far East Zone.

Economic Analysis Summary

Economic analyses for a stand-alone mine and mill operation were run under three different uranium price scenarios (Table 1). Note, all dollar amounts referenced in this news release are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise specified. Based on the US$ 70/lb uranium scenario, the pre-tax Net Present Value ("NPV") for Roughrider, is approximately $1.0 billion, with an internal rate of return ("IRR") of 38% and payback of 1.2 years, using a discount rate of 7% and an exchange rate of $1.05 : US$1.00. The undiscounted pre-tax NPV is $2.0 billion over an estimated 11 year mine life, based on 5.0 million pounds U3O8 per year mill output, generating a total mine and mill production cost of $14.44/lb U3O8. The low cost of production is mainly a function of the low daily milling rate of about 200 tonnes per day, itself a function of the compact and high grade and minimal separation of the West and East zones, high metallurgical recovery (97.7%), and shallow depth.

About the company

Hathor Exploration Ltd. is a junior uranium company focused on exploration projects in the Athabasca Basin of Northern Saskatchewan, Canada. Hathor's goal is to discover, advance and develop high grade, world class uranium deposits.
