Berkeley Energia Limited has received formal notification from the Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge ("MITECO") that it has been granted the renewal of the Initial Authorisation for the uranium concentrate plant as a radioactive facility at the Salamanca project ("NSCI") until there is a resolution on the Authorisation for Construction for the uranium concentrate plant as a radioactive facility ("NSC II"). This renewal follows the Nuclear Safety Council ("NSC") issuing a favourable report for the extension of the validity of NSC I in July 2020. NSC I was granted in September 2015 by the then Ministry of Industry, Energy and Tourism, with a 5-year validity period. The favourable report issued by the NSC in July considered that the circumstances and characteristics of the uranium concentrate plant are the same as those contained in the Initial Authorisation issued in 2015. Subsequent to the grant of NSC I, the Company applied for NSC II in 2016. In March 2020, the Company formally submitted updated official documentation in relation to NSC II and has since held a number of meetings with the NSC technical team to discuss and clarify minor queries on the updated documentation. As requested, the Company submitted written responses to these queries, along with additional technical information, to the NSC in September 2020. The next step in the process is for the NSC technical team to now finalise its report and submit it to the NSC Board for ratification.
