The company is well funded for the next phase of development at Koppies and its U-pgrade™ uranium ore beneficiation process after receiving binding commitments to raise $25 million.
Elevate plans to use the funds to complete a bench-scale metallurgical testwork program on Koppies ore followed by the design, construction and operation of an U-pgrade™ demonstration plant at the project.
The results of which will be used to complete a Koppies scoping study.
The funds will also be used for approximately 100,000 metres of resource and exploration drilling across its Namibian and Australian tenement portfolio.
