DISA Technologies Launches DISA Uranium Corporation, a New American Uranium Recovery and Production Platform
DISA Uranium holds the only U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission license authorizing the remediation and recovery of abandoned uranium mine waste across multiple sites, and pairs that pipeline with a newly acquired conventional resource base in
"DISA Uranium was built to do something no company has done before," said
The Acquisition: A Scaled Conventional Resource Base
DISA Uranium has agreed to acquire IsoEnergy's portfolio of permitted, past-producing assets in
Technology That Makes Conventional Production More Efficient & Economic
Upon closing, DISA Uranium will hold exclusive rights to DISA's patented high-pressure slurry ablation technology ("HPSA™") in the fields of uranium, vanadium, and abandoned uranium mine remediation and recovery. Applied to conventional resources, HPSA concentrates uranium-bearing material at the mine site, upgrading feed quality while significantly reducing the volume that must be hauled, milled, and processed downstream. Less material to move and a higher-grade product mean lower transportation and processing costs, greater efficiency, and a smaller operational footprint at every step — a leaner operation that allows the Company to produce more domestic uranium from the same resource base.

Remediation and Recovery: The Founding Priority
Building New Domestic Recovery and Processing Capacity
A central element of DISA Uranium's strategy is the development of new domestic uranium recovery and processing infrastructure capable of producing U3O8 – which would be the first new uranium recovery and processing facility built in
Advancing
DISA Uranium is being formed against a backdrop of intensifying federal focus on domestic uranium production and nuclear fuel supply chain security.
Financing
The transaction includes commitments for a concurrent
This financing positions DISA Uranium to pursue an aggressive growth agenda across remediation, conventional production, and domestic processing capacity, backed by a consortium of leading strategic investors.
One Technology, Two Focused Companies
Concurrent with the formation of DISA Uranium, DISA's broader mineral processing business will be established as a separate, independent company, DISA Tech™, Inc. ("DISA Tech"). Led by Chief Executive Officer
