Sustainable Uranium Resources Development Business Model Canvas for
Sustainable Uranium Resources Development Business Model Canvas for Ur. America Argentina S. A. Central Plateau Project Presented by Omar Adra - President In cooperation with Luis López (CNEA) IAEA International Atomic Energy Agency
Infrastructure • • • Key activities • Uranium exploration, focused on supplying future local & international demand - Central Plateau Project in the San Jorge Basin, Chubut Province, Argentina (sandstone type U deposits) Key resources • Human Resources: 30 • Physical resources : headquarters in Buenos Aires, technical office in Paso de Indios (Chubut), truck-mounted RC drill rig, full service equipment and in-house drilling crew • Financial – Typical budget: 2007 -2015: US$18, 000 • Intellectual: 6 exploration permits, 59 statements of discovery (224, 000 has) *owned & JV´s. • Inferred resource of 7, 350 t. U grading 265 ppm e. U, certified by NI 43 -101 Key partners • JV with United Energy Metals since 2010 • Strategic Alliance with Cameco from 2011 to 2013 • Argentine UO 2 conversion plant – Dioxitek S. A. • Foreign nuclear fuel manufacturers IAEA
Value Propositions Environmentally friendly, low-cost, innovative uranium extraction, to provide revenue, employment and social benefits with a strategic nuclear raw material supply • • Augmentation of nuclear mineral resources Development of ISR uranium project in Chubut Province Uranium supply from domestic sources for the current operating reactors and those planned for the future Social licensing IAEA
Customers • Customer Segments • Ur. America´s customer would be CNEA/Dioxitek S. A. • Channels • One-on-one relationship • Uranium production cycle meetings • Press releases • Customer Relationships • Public-Private Partnership • Cooperative Agreement with Governmental Nuclear Agencies Consortium • Medium – long term contracts IAEA
Finances • Cost structure • Estimated production costs lower than USD 80/ kg U • Cost structure will be adjusted after complexion of ISL pre-feasibility studies • Revenue streams • Funding from own resources and JVs • Average annual investment of US$ 2, 000 (2007 -2015) • More favorable scenarios both at national and international levels, are expected IAEA
