Aura Energy Successfully Raises
A$20 million via Placement

Not for release to US wire services or distribution in the United States

HIGHLIGHTS

§ Firm commitments received for successful A$20 million placement

§ Strong backing for placement from Australian and global institutional and sophisticated investors

§ Funds will be used for Tiris Uranium Project ('Tiris') development, FID readiness, exploration, resource definition and working capital

Aura Energy Limited (ASX: AEE, AIM: AURA) ('Aura' or the 'Company') is pleased to announce it has received firm commitments for gross proceeds of A$20 million placement ('Placement') through the issue of approximately 97.6 million fully paid ordinary shares ('Placement Shares') at an issue price of A$0.205 per share ("Placement Price"). The Placement was strongly supported by Australian and global institutional and sophisticated investors with demand in excess of funds sought.

Funds raised from the Placement will be applied to progressing the developmental activities at the Company's Tiris Uranium Project, FID readiness, exploration, resource definition and for general working capital purposes.

Aura Energy Executive Chair Philip Mitchell commented:

"We are delighted with the strong support for the Placement and welcome a number of highly credentialled Australian and offshore institutional investors to the register. On behalf of the Board, I would also like to thank our existing shareholders for their ongoing support.

It is an exciting time to have exposure to the uranium market. Uranium was added back to the Critical Minerals List by the U.S. Geological Survey in November, the US Government and Westinghouse Electric's owners have agreed to build at least US$80 billion worth of nuclear reactors and growth in artificial intelligence data centres has driven an increase in U.S. power demand for the first time in two decades.

The Placement also comes at an exciting juncture in the Company's history, with the recently announced Häggån transaction. The intended transaction allows Häggån to be developed through a separate vehicle, intended to be listed on TSX, with Aura maintaining material exposure through a 78.7% investment. This is strengthened by Sweden's recent legislative changes allowing the mining of uranium reflecting how European economies are positioning nuclear as core to their clean-energy future and global demand driving uranium prices to a two year high this week, to over $US100 a pound.

The Company will direct the proceeds from this Placement to the development of Tiris in Mauritania as we work through optimizing the flow-sheet, targeting FID in Q3 2026. We look forward to putting investors' funds to work and continuing to update the market with further progress."
