Cauldron’s CEO Jonathan Fisher emphasised his support of Cauldron’s operation and exploration after Parle Investments’ acquisition of an 11.55% stake in Cauldron. Fisher noted that proactive shareholder engagement is the correct direction when participating in the Global Uranium Conference (Adelaide, November 15-16) and the RIU Resurgence Conference (Perth, November 22-23). Fisher hopes that the combined companies can use these platforms to showcase Cauldron’s progress and future endeavours to a global audience.

Fisher, Cauldron’s CEO, remarked:

Cauldron has built a strong team and a clear strategic plan to deliver value for shareholders. Our projects offer exciting potential in minerals critical to the Energy Transition, a sector of particular interest to investors. Following the Entitlement Offer, Cauldron now has sufficient cash resources to advance these projects aggressively. Further, we are particularly pleased to have attracted a new significant, successful Uranium sector substantial shareholder, and we are encouraged by the opportunities this support may present for the Company moving forward.
