• SGU proposes Häggån polymetallic deposit be designated a national interest for valuable materials
• Designation provides legal protection against activities that could obstruct future extraction
• Häggån is uniquely positioned as a key contributor to Europe's clean energy and industrial future

Aura Energy Limited (ASX: AEE, AIM: AURA) announced that the Geological Survey of Sweden (SGU) has formally proposed designating the Häggån polymetallic deposit (Häggån) as a national interest for valuable materials. This designation would provide legal protection against activities that could obstruct future extraction of the deposit's resources. SGU highlighted that the elements contained in the deposit, including uranium, vanadium, molybdenum, and nickel, are of great importance to modern society and to Swedish and international industry. The Häggån deposit is uniquely positioned as a key contributor to Europe's clean energy and industrial future, with its significant uranium and vanadium resources. Following a consultation period with designated stakeholders, SGU's Director General will make the final designation decision, which would strengthen Häggån's position as one of Sweden's most strategically significant mineral deposits. This proposal by SGU confirms the strategic importance of the Häggån deposit and its potential to contribute to Sweden and Europe's mineral self-reliance and the needs of society and industry.
