The uranium market and Toro's response
-
Uranium prices have taken longer to recover than forecast, but long term fundamentals remain strong
-
5 mines produce 85% of current global primary uranium
supply; Kazakhstan remains largest supplier

Despite market conditions Toro has expanded its asset portfolio, improved its share register and maintained a healthy balance sheet

Continued focus on the critical Wiluna development activities including permitting and traditional owner agreements, resource, project economics
-
Seeking new properties that are capable of development to
coincide with forecast improvement in uranium prices
