Nuclear Energy is growing, and the uranium needed to fuel it must be sourced. Demand is rising – driven by decarbonisation commitments, energy security policy and the rapid expansion of AI data infrastructure. Primary supply is not keeping pace.
Neo Energy Metals (Neo Energy) is developing two South African uranium projects targeting medium-term production: in the Free State province, the New Beisa Node, a high-grade underground uranium and gold deposit where an implementation assessment of existing infrastructure is in progress; and the Henkries Node, a near-surface uranium deposit in the Northern Cape province with a lower-capital development path. Both projects have substantial upside potential.


Theo Botoulas, CEO, shares what makes Neo stand out as an emerging provider of uranium.
New Beisa is a brownfield uranium and gold project near Virginia in the Free State. It represents more than US$500 million in historical capital investment. Neo’s gold-first production sequence – using an existing, refurbishable gold processing plant – will provide a medium-term revenue bridge. With gold at record prices, this sequencing will generate revenue that will contribute towards capital requirements, reducing reliance on external sources.
Henkries is a near-surface uranium deposit in the Northern Cape province with a lower-capital development path. Discovered by Anglo American Corporation (AAC) in 1975, the deposit hosts uranium mineralisation within soft, very shallow palaeochannel sediments, allowing for a free-dig mining operation.
