In April 2019, Fission released the pre-feasibility study report of PLS project, reporting that the resource quantity above the control level will increase by 18%, the future operating cost of the project will be significantly reduced to USD 6.77 per pound, leaving a room for further optimization.

Meanwhile, CGN Ming has kept promoting the merger and acquisition of Kazakhstan’s new uranium mine projects. It is estimated that the annual sales of natural uranium package will increase from 588 t/year to 1,813 t/year.
