Uranium American Resources Inc. is a mining company. The Company maintains mining leases on properties in Nevada. The Company is engaged in mining activities in the mineable resource of gold and silver remains in the Comstock Mining District. Its Comstock project is located in northwestern Nevada, approximately 40 kilometers southeast of Reno. The Company has three mineralized structures: The Comstock Lode, The Occidental/Brunswick Lode and The Silver City Spur. The Comstock Lode is an epithermal gold and silver deposit in a large fault system at the eastern base of the Virginia Range. The Occidental/Brunswick Lode is a gold and silver mineralized epithermal system in approximately 1.5 kilometers east of the main Comstock Lode and running parallel to it. The Silver City Spur is a branch of the Comstock Lode that runs southeast and connects with the southwestern splays of the Occidental Lode.

China has moved to freeze exports of rare earth magnets and other critical materials to dozens of major Japanese companies, with the measures to take effect immediately.

China’s commerce ministry said Tuesday (February 24) that it will suspend shipments of so-called “dual-use” goods — referring to materials with both civilian and military applications — to 20 Japanese companies, while placing another 20 groups on a new “watch list,” according to media reports.

Rare earth magnets are essential components in automobiles, electronics and defense systems, and global manufacturers remain heavily reliant on Chinese supply. The immediate export freeze applies to companies linked to defense-related work at Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (TSE:7011,OTCPL:MHVYF), Kawasaki Heavy Industries (TSE:7012,OTCPL:KWHIF), IHI (TSE:7013,OTCPL:IHICF) and NEC (TSE:6701,OTCPL:NIPNF).

Meanwhile, firms placed on the watch list will face slower shipments and must pledge “that the dual-use items will not be used for any purpose that contributes to enhancing Japan’s military capabilities.”

Items covered include critical minerals such as gallium, germanium, antimony and graphite, as well as rare earths, magnetic materials and certain advanced manufacturing equipment.

The dispute traces back to remarks in November last year by Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, who said a hypothetical Chinese invasion of Taiwan could pose an “existential threat” to Japan and suggested Tokyo could respond with armed force. Beijing claims sovereignty over Taiwan and has warned it could use force if Taipei resists indefinitely.

The pressure also comes as Japan steps up efforts to reduce its dependence on China for rare earths. Earlier this month, Tokyo announced it had successfully retrieved mineral-rich seabed sediment from nearly 6,000 meters below the ocean near the remote island of Minamitorishima.

The material was recovered by the deep-sea drilling vessel Chikyu as part of a government-backed test program assessing the feasibility of mining rare-earths-bearing mud.

“It is a first step toward industrialization of domestically produced rare earth in Japan,” Takaichi said in a statement posted on X. “We will make efforts toward achieving resilient supply chains for rare earths and other critical minerals to avoid overdependence on a particular country.

China has used rare earths exports as leverage before.

In 2010, following a territorial dispute in the East China Sea, Beijing halted rare earths shipments to Japan, sending prices soaring and exposing Tokyo’s heavy reliance on Chinese supply.

The episode became a turning point for Japan’s resource strategy, accelerating efforts to diversify supply and directly supporting the rise of Australia’s Lynas Rare Earths (ASX:LYC,OTCQX:LYSDY), which has since grown into the largest rare earths producer outside China.

Aterian plc (AIM: ATN), the Africa-focused critical metals exploration company, is pleased to announce the approval of it’s recently commissioned Environmental Impact Assessment (”EIA”) for the 100%-owned Agdz Mining Licence, part of the Agdz (‘Cu-Ag‘) Project (‘Agdz‘ or the ‘Project‘) in the Kingdom of Morocco (‘Morocco‘).

In the current global mining environment, the approval of the EIA represents a major regulatory milestone and materially de-risks the Project as Aterian advances toward systematic drilling and development readiness.

Highlights:

• Environmental Impact Assessment plan approved at the Agdz Cu-Ag Project.
• The Regional Centre of Investment of Errachidia approval represents a key milestone and allows for further project advancement.
• Confirms strong local, regional and national stakeholder support.
• Material regulatory de-risking of the Agdz Project in a tightening global permitting environment.
• Previous drilling has confirmed shallow Cu-Ag mineralisation across multiple prospects, including:
  • 1.24 % Cu with 101 g/t Ag over 3 m from 8 m (downhole) – Makarn (North) prospect
  • 0.45 % Cu with 3 g/t Ag over 11 m from 32 m (downhole) – Makarn (South) prospect
  • 0.79 % Cu with 5 g/t Ag over 6 m from 6 m (downhole) – Amzwaro prospect
• £100,000 raised from existing shareholders to fund project advancement toward development readiness.

Charles Bray, Chairman of Aterian, commented:

‘Securing Moroccan EIA approval for the Agdz Mining Licence is a major step forward for Aterian. In a tightening global permitting environment, being regulatorily cleared to advance a copper project is a significant competitive advantage.

Our focus now shifts decisively to drilling for scale to develop this asset. The objective is clear: expand the mineralised footprint, build toward a defined resource base, and position Agdz as a development-ready copper asset in a jurisdiction with strong infrastructure and mining heritage. The integration of AI-driven geological modelling, through our partnership with Lithosquare, strengthens our targeting capability and enhances capital efficiency as we move into the next drilling phase.

With copper demand structurally rising and permitted projects increasingly scarce, Agdz represents a compelling opportunity. We are especially pleased to hear from existing shareholders seeking to participate in the recent equity placing, allowing the Company to allocate for expenditure to deliver sustained drilling news flow as we advance the Project over 2026.’

Strategic Importance

Permitted copper projects are increasingly scarce globally. With demand driven by electrification and the energy transition, projects capable of advancing without regulatory uncertainty are becoming strategically important.

EIA approval significantly strengthens Agdz’s development pathway and enhances its attractiveness to investors and potential strategic partners. The integration of AI-driven geological modelling through Lithosquare further positions Aterian to deploy capital efficiently and maximise discovery potential as drilling resumes.

Project Summary:

Aterian holds a 100% interest in the 50.4 km² Agdz Copper-Silver Project, comprising the 34.5 km² Agdz licence and the adjacent 15.9 km² Agdz Est licence in central Morocco.

The Project is located in the highly prospective Anti-Atlas Mountains within the Drâa Tafilalet region, approximately 35 km east of Ouarzazate, a well-serviced regional hub with an airport and established infrastructure. The Project benefits from excellent access via paved and unpaved roads. It is situated approximately 40 km southeast of the Noor solar power complex, one of the world’s largest renewable energy facilities.

Agdz is located within Morocco’s highly prospective Anti-Atlas belt, a stable and well-established mining jurisdiction with growing strategic importance for copper supply.

The Agdz Project is situated within a well-established copper-silver mining district, approximately 14 km southwest of the Bouskour copper-silver mine (19 Mt at 1.44 % Cu and 12 g/t Ag Measured & Indicated and 9 Mt at 1.61 % Cu Proven & Probable¹) and within trucking distance of existing mining infrastructure. The world-class Imiter silver mine (192 M Oz Ag Measured & Indicated and 152 M Oz Ag Proven & Probable²) lies approximately 80 km northeast of the Project, with both operations owned by Managem Group. While mineralisation at neighbouring deposits is not necessarily indicative of mineralisation at Agdz, their presence underscores the district-scale prospectivity of the Anti-Atlas Belt.
