Executive Summary

  • Vanguard Mining Corp. received its Environmental (Prospection) License from Paraguay’s Ministerio del Ambiente y Desarrollo Sostenible (MADES), clearing a key regulatory hurdle for the Yuty Prometeo Uranium Project.
  • The permit de‑risks the path toward full exploration and development approvals on the 90,000‑hectare project in southeastern Paraguay.
  • Technical advisors reviewed core samples at the Vice Ministerio de Minas y Energía (VMME) on Oct 29 2025 as preparation for upcoming confirmatory drilling.

Key Details

  • Permit Obtained: Environmental/Prospection License from MADES, enabling Vanguard to pursue full exploration and development approvals.
  • Project Scope: Yuty Prometeo Uranium Project – four concessions (three San Jose, one Prometeo) covering ~90,000 ha in the Paraná Basin, adjacent to UEC’s Yuty Deposit (8.96 M lb U₃O₈ indicated resource).
  • Historical Data: 28 historic drill holes on Prometeo block reported 0.05‑0.10% U₃O₈; data not yet NI 43‑101 verified – confirmatory drilling planned.
  • Technical Review: On Oct 29 2025, Vanguard’s technical advisors visited VMME core shed in Asunción to examine project core samples ahead of future work programs.
  • Strategic Importance: Permit acquisition reduces regulatory risk and positions Vanguard to advance a high‑value uranium asset within an emerging, stable mining jurisdiction supportive of clean‑energy transition.
  • CEO Quote: David Greenway highlighted the milestone as “advances the Yuty Prometeo Uranium Project and strengthens our pipeline of high‑value uranium assets in Paraguay.”
