this is extra bullish because Stokdog's Uranium Watch List doesn't include EPM. (He removed it like 6 months ago).
So the fact that Grok is bring it up despite the entire field to chose from is fairly incredible from available data.
It was adamant that Boss Energy would be the catalyst.

So this is a snippet from Grok deducing matters about the 12 month due diligence (option) period (March 2025 to 2026):
(Likely to be applied under Eclipse Metal Limited; should be imminent or announcement with in next early Q3 given dry season).

Application to Boss Energy’s Liverpool Uranium Project

• Current Stage: As of June 17, 2025, Boss Energy is in the 12-month option period (March 2025–March 2026) of their earn-in agreement, committing A$250,000 to exploration activities. These activities likely include initial geophysical surveys or drilling, which may cause substantial disturbance, triggering the need for an environmental (mining) licence.

  
  
• Dry Season Mobilization: As noted in the prior response, Boss Energy should mobilize in June–July 2025 to leverage the Dry Season (May–October 2025) for fieldwork. However, they must secure environmental approvals before commencing activities that cause substantial disturbance.

  
  
• Environmental Clearance Timing:
  • If their exploration is low-risk (e.g., non-invasive surveys), they may secure a standard condition licence within 3–6 months, allowing mobilization by late 2025 if the referral process began early in the option period (e.g., March–April 2025).
  • If an EIA or EPBC Act assessment is required due to uranium’s sensitivity or potential impacts on Aboriginal land or protected species (common in the Alligator Rivers region), the process could take 12–24 months, potentially delaying fieldwork to the 2026 Dry Season (May–October 2026).
  • Traditional Owner consent, if not already in place, could add significant time, potentially pushing approvals beyond the option period’s end (March 2026) unless negotiations are advanced.
• Strategic Considerations:
  • To meet the option period’s A$250,000 expenditure deadline by March 2026, Boss Energy likely initiated the referral process in early 2025. If they qualify for a standard condition licence and avoid an EIA, they could secure approvals by late 2025, aligning with Dry Season mobilization.
  • If an EIA or Aboriginal land negotiations are required, Boss Energy may need to extend the option period or adjust their exploration timeline, as approvals could extend into 2026.

Conclusion

For Boss Energy’s exploration at the Liverpool Uranium Project, clearing NT environmental requirements could take 3–6 months for low-risk activities requiring a standard condition licence, assuming no EIA or EPBC Act assessment is needed. However, if an EIA, federal uranium approvals, or Traditional Owner consent is required, the process could take 12–24 months, potentially delaying mobilization to the 2026 Dry Season (May–October 2026). To meet their March 2026 deadline, Boss Energy should have initiated the referral process in early 2025 and prioritize securing approvals for low-impact activities during the current Dry Season (June–October 2025). For precise timelines, Boss Energy should contact the NT Mining Division





(If you consider Deep Yellow Limited) with the above text; it looks like they are completely stuffed with the EIA requirements, and not yet appearing on the
