Eagle Nuclear Energy Corp. has engaged LSN Partners to provide government affairs, strategic advisory, and stakeholder engagement services, while also appointing Blake Steele as an advisor to support its nuclear energy initiatives.

The engagement focuses on federal and state public-sector objectives, including domestic uranium production, advanced nuclear technologies, critical minerals policy, energy security, and permitting matters across Oregon and Nevada. Steele joins the company bringing experience in U.S. uranium project development and public company leadership, having previously served as President and CEO of Azarga Uranium Corp. prior to its acquisition by enCore Energy Corp. in 2022.

The company is advancing its flagship Aurora Uranium Project along the Oregon-Nevada border toward a Pre-Feasibility Study scheduled for completion in late 2027. The project hosts a near-surface resource of 32.75 million pounds of indicated and 4.98 million pounds of inferred uranium under S-K 1300 standards.

To support resource expansion, classification enhancement, metallurgy, geotechnical analysis, and hydrogeology for the upcoming study, Eagle is executing a 27,000-foot, 47-hole diamond drill program. 

“Eagle continues to work towards the development of an integrated nuclear energy platform combining domestic uranium resources with advanced SMR technology,” said Eagle CEO Mark Mukhija. “As we advance Aurora and our broader nuclear energy initiatives, we believe it is important to be actively engaged in the federal and state policy discussions impacting the future of domestic uranium production and nuclear energy. LSN brings significant experience across government affairs and strategic advisory services, which we’re confident will benefit Eagle as we move forward.”
