Business Context and Reporting Period
Period: Quarterly report for the three and six months ended May 31, 2026.
Business Overview: Eagle Nuclear Energy Corp. is an early-stage, pre-revenue company focused on vertically integrating domestic uranium exploration (Aurora Uranium Project in Oregon) with proprietary Small Modular Reactor (SMR) technology. The company completed a reverse recapitalization ("de-SPAC") with Spring Valley Acquisition Corp. II on February 24, 2026, and concurrently acquired Oregon Energy LLC to secure mining claims.
Operational Status: The company has not yet commenced principal operations. It is currently in the exploration and development phase, with a planned 27,000 ft drill program expected to commence in July 2026 pending permits.

Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Net Loss Expansion: Net loss increased from $(1,692,101) in the prior year period to $(26,533,829). This is primarily driven by a non-cash loss of $17,750,724 related to the change in fair value of warrant liabilities and increased operating expenses due to the de-SPAC transaction and public company status.
- Liquidity Surge: Cash balances increased from $1,301,928 (Nov 30, 2025) to $28,282,050 (May 31, 2026). This was fueled by $29,700,000 in PIPE financing proceeds and cash assumed from the reverse recapitalization.
- Operating Expenses: Total operating expenses rose 420% year-over-year to $8.77 million. Significant increases were seen in Salaries and Wages ($3.35M vs $0), Professional Fees ($2.47M vs $1.21M), and Office/Administrative costs ($1.24M vs $0.09M) due to new executive hires, public company compliance costs, and marketing.
- Asset Acquisition: Mineral rights increased to $12.76 million following the acquisition of Oregon Energy LLC, funded largely by the issuance of 1.71 million shares of common stock.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
- Outlook: Management estimates current cash resources will sustain operations for approximately 21 months. The company expects to incur significant losses until commercial operations begin.
- Key Milestones:
- Commencement of a 27,000 ft drill program at the Aurora Uranium Project (expected July 2026).
- Completion of a pre-feasibility study (expected end of 2027).
- SMR technology development and licensing readiness.
- Material Risks:
- Going Concern: While alleviated by recent financing, the company remains pre-revenue and dependent on future capital raises.
- Warrant Liability Volatility: The $21.9M warrant liability is subject to fair value adjustments based on stock price and volatility, significantly impacting reported net loss.
- Exploration Risk: No assurance exists that commercially exploitable uranium reserves can be established.
- Regulatory & Political: Risks related to nuclear energy public perception, government incentives, and geopolitical instability (e.g., Russia-Ukraine conflict).
- Internal Controls: The company disclosed a material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting due to resource limitations and lack of segregation of duties.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Warrant Liability Valuation: Verify the assumptions (volatility, discount for lack of marketability) used in the Monte Carlo model for the $21.9M warrant liability, as this is a major driver of the reported loss.
- Contingent Consideration: Review the terms of the "Resource Payment" and "Pre-Feasibility Bonus" owed to Aurora Energy (up to $10M total), which are contingent on future resource estimates and study results.
- Preferred Stock Terms: Confirm the redemption and dividend terms of the $29.7M Series A Preferred Stock issued in the PIPE financing (12% PIK or 10% cash dividends).
- Internal Control Remediation: Monitor progress on hiring and implementing controls to address the disclosed material weakness in financial reporting.
- Drilling Permit Status: Verify the status of BLM and DOGAMI permits required for the July 2026 drill program commencement.
