Deep Yellow Tumas uranium project development

Overview

Deep Yellow has deferred its Final Investment Decision (FID) for the Tumas uranium project in Namibia, moving the decision beyond the fourth quarter of 2026. The company attributed this delay to challenging equity market conditions that limit funding options for uranium developers, despite strong global market fundamentals.

While the formal investment decision is postponed, construction and engineering work continues at the site. Civil and concrete works are underway, funded by existing cash reserves. Engineering for the project has reached 85% completion, and the company is progressing with tendering for major process plant equipment.

Deep Yellow is currently reviewing project costs and the financial model to optimize the project value. Regarding financing, the company has reported progress in discussions with Nedbank concerning credit approvals, though a binding financial close has not been reached. The pre-production capital requirement was previously estimated at US$474 million in a 2025 feasibility study.
