DISA Technologies Launches DISA Uranium Corporation, a New American Uranium Recovery and Production Platform

Published

on

DISA Uranium holds the only U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission license authorizing the remediation and recovery of abandoned uranium mine waste across multiple sites, and pairs that pipeline with a newly acquired conventional resource base in Utah from IsoEnergy Ltd. This will underpin the company’s plans to build the first new U.S. uranium recovery and processing facility in more than four decades. DISA Uranium has received commitments for a concurrent US$105 million private placement financing backed by leading mining, energy, and technology investors, including Tembo Capital, BHP Ventures, Galvanize Climate Solutions, Valor Equity Partners, Evok Innovations, Halliburton Labs, and Veriten.

CASPER, Wyo., Aug. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — DISA® Technologies, Inc. (“DISA”) today announced the formation of DISA Uranium™ Corporation (“DISA Uranium” or the “Company”), a new American company built to recover and produce domestic uranium and remediate the nation’s legacy uranium sites. In connection with its launch, DISA Uranium has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire IsoEnergy Ltd.’s (“IsoEnergy”) (NYSE American: ISOU and TSX: ISO) Utah uranium portfolio of permitted, past-producing mines and projects (“Utah Portfolio”) — giving the Company a scaled conventional resource base to pair with its proprietary processing technology and the only U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (“NRC”) license of its kind.

“DISA Uranium was built to do something no company has done before,” said Greyson Buckingham, Chief Executive Officer of DISA Uranium. “We’re creating a new kind of American uranium company — one built to recover, remediate, and produce domestic uranium, and to help rebuild a secure U.S. fuel supply. It starts with our first priority: cleaning up the thousands of abandoned uranium mine sites across the West that no one else has been positioned to address, and recovering the uranium and vanadium held in that waste. The IsoEnergy assets add a proven, scaled conventional resource base to that foundation, and our technology is designed to make recovery from them more efficient, more economic, and lower impact. Together, recovered legacy material and this conventional resource base give us the feedstock to build a new domestic recovery and processing facility — the missing link in a secure American fuel supply.”

The Acquisition: A Scaled Conventional Resource Base
DISA Uranium has agreed to acquire IsoEnergy’s portfolio of permitted, past-producing assets in Utah, comprising of the Tony M Mine, Daneros Mine, Rim Mine, Sage Plain Project, and Flatiron Project. Tony M is expected to be a cornerstone conventional asset, benefiting from existing permits, historical production, underground infrastructure, and near-term restart potential. Upon closing, IsoEnergy will hold approximately 33% of DISA Uranium and will have board representation.

Philip Williams, Chief Executive Officer and Director of IsoEnergy, commented, “The creation of DISA Uranium marks an important step in advancing IsoEnergy’s strategy of building a globally diversified, development ready uranium platform. By contributing our permitted, past-producing Utah asset base and pairing it with DISA’s proprietary HPSA™ technology, we believe we can enhance project economics, expand the universe of viable conventional uranium resources, and ultimately support domestic processing infrastructure. At a time when the United States is placing renewed emphasis on nuclear energy, energy security, and the reshoring of its nuclear fuel supply chain, we believe this partnership is both timely and highly differentiated. For IsoEnergy and its shareholders, it unlocks value of our U.S. portfolio, while retaining direct, meaningful exposure to the growth of a unique platform designed to help reshape domestic uranium production.”

Technology That Makes Conventional Production More Efficient & Economic
Upon closing, DISA Uranium will hold exclusive rights to DISA’s patented high-pressure slurry ablation technology (“HPSA™”) in the fields of uranium, vanadium, and abandoned uranium mine remediation and recovery. Applied to conventional resources, HPSA concentrates uranium-bearing material at the mine site, upgrading feed quality while significantly reducing the volume that must be hauled, milled, and processed downstream. Less material to move and a higher-grade product mean lower transportation and processing costs, greater efficiency, and a smaller operational footprint at every step — a leaner operation that allows the Company to produce more domestic uranium from the same resource base.

Preliminary testing of HPSA technology at the Tony M Mine demonstrated the potential to reduce feedstock mass to ~22% of its original volume while recovering ~88% of the uranium.

Remediation and Recovery: The Founding Priority
Abandoned Uranium Mine (“AUM”) remediation and recovery remains DISA Uranium’s core business. Thousands of AUMs are scattered across the western United States, most on federal and tribal lands — at once a decades-old environmental liability and a significant untapped domestic resource. The Company’s NRC license positions it to help clean up these legacy sites while recovering the uranium and vanadium held in the waste, delivering meaningful environmental benefit alongside new domestic supply. It is the work DISA Uranium was founded to do, and the foundation on which the rest of the platform is built.

Building New Domestic Recovery and Processing Capacity
A central element of DISA Uranium’s strategy is the development of new domestic uranium recovery and processing infrastructure capable of producing U3O8 – which would be the first new uranium recovery and processing facility built in the United States in more than four decades. Additional processing capacity is critical to rebuilding the domestic uranium fuel cycle, enabling the conversion of recovered and mined uranium into finished product, and providing a durable answer to the country’s reliance on foreign and adversary supply. The project is in the design phase, with site evaluation underway. Further announcements are expected this year.

Advancing U.S. Energy Security and Domestic Uranium Security
DISA Uranium is being formed against a backdrop of intensifying federal focus on domestic uranium production and nuclear fuel supply chain security. The United States remains heavily reliant on imported uranium to fuel its reactor fleet, and recent federal policy activity reflects a growing commitment to rebuilding a secure, domestic supply chain. By combining conventional production, large-scale remediation and recovery, and new domestic processing capacity, the Company intends to become a leader in American uranium recovery and a reliable contributor to the nuclear fuel cycle.

Financing
The transaction includes commitments for a concurrent US$105 million private placement financing (the “Financing”) supported by a consortium of leading mining, energy, and technology investors, including Tembo Capital, BHP Ventures, Galvanize Climate Solutions, Valor Equity Partners, Evok Innovations, Halliburton Labs, and Veriten. Proceeds are expected to fund remediation and recovery programs, advance conventional mine development, progress domestic processing infrastructure, and support the Company’s long-term growth. Upon closing, expected in August 2026, the Company is expected to have an implied pro forma equity value (based on the price per share in the Financing) of approximately US$505 million. IsoEnergy has made commitments of $33M into the Financing.

This financing positions DISA Uranium to pursue an aggressive growth agenda across remediation, conventional production, and domestic processing capacity, backed by a consortium of leading strategic investors.

One Technology, Two Focused Companies
Concurrent with the formation of DISA Uranium, DISA’s broader mineral processing business will be established as a separate, independent company, DISA Tech™, Inc. (“DISA Tech”). Led by Chief Executive Officer Milan Sjaus, DISA Tech advances mineral processing across applications beyond uranium and vanadium, applying the same patented HPSA technology to improve recovery and product quality and unlock value that conventional methods leave behind. The two companies share a common origin in DISA Technologies and the HPSA platform developed over the last decade in Wyoming and now operate with dedicated focus on their respective missions.

Management and Advisors
Upon closing, the DISA Uranium board is expected to consist of seven directors, including IsoEnergy Board of Directors Chairman Richard Patricio, IsoEnergy CEO & Director Phillip Williams, Tembo Capital Partner George Pyper as well as current DISA Board of Directors members Scott Saxberg, Marty Reed, and former NRC Commissioner Jeffrey Merrifield. Greyson Buckingham, a 10-year veteran of the U.S. Army National Guard, will serve as President, Chief Executive Officer and a Director of DISA Uranium. The Company, which will be headquartered in Casper, Wyoming, launches with a seasoned and respected team, including several members of the DISA management team, and expects to grow as it advances its remediation, production, and processing initiatives.

Stifel is acting as financial advisor to DISA, with Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, P.C. as legal counsel. TD Securities Inc. is acting as financial advisor to IsoEnergy, with Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP and Parr Brown Gee & Loveless as legal counsel.

From Detroit to 1.5 million: The Startup Breaking the Social Media Playbook

Published

on

By

Less than a year after announcing it was being built, Byio has surpassed more than 1.5 million verified registrations worldwide. Ninety days into beta, organic word of mouth demand has outpaced onboarding, without outside capital or a marketing budget.

DETROIT, Aug. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Less than one year after officially announcing it was building a new social platform, Byio (By Invite Only) has surpassed more than 1.5 million verified registrations worldwide, reaching the milestone just 90 days after opening beta.

Registration is free. Membership is free. As demand accelerated beyond the company’s onboarding pace, people began voluntarily paying to have their registrations reviewed sooner or to receive instant access consideration when capacity becomes available. Neither option guarantees admission, but the response has become one of Byio’s strongest indicators of market demand.

For consumer technology companies, demand is typically measured after users gain access to a product. Byio is seeing a different signal. Long before many registrants receive an invitation, some are choosing to pay simply to move through the registration process more quickly, underscoring the level of interest surrounding the platform despite free registration and free membership.

Beta opened on May 1, 2026. Approximately 400,000 people had registered by May 13. Fewer than three months later, verified registrations have grown to more than 1.5 million as members livestream, post, gift, earn and cash out while Byio continues expanding onboarding to meet demand.

The platform’s growth now spans North America, Europe, Africa, Asia, the Caribbean and Oceania, with verified registrations from the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, Nigeria, Canada, Jamaica, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Singapore, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, France, the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland and dozens of other countries.

The pace of growth has also compressed an unusually short timeline. Byio officially announced it was being built in September 2025. Eight months later, beta opened. Ninety days after that, registrations exceeded 1.5 million worldwide, transforming what began as a platform under development into one managing global demand while continuing to expand access.

“We built Byio believing it would be used by millions of people,” said R.M. Easterly, Founder and CEO of Byio. “What surprised us was not the vision, it was the speed. Our priority today is not creating demand. It is responsibly welcoming the community that is already here while continuing to build for the future.”

Byio reached this milestone without outside capital, venture funding, institutional investment, crowdfunding, a marketing budget, celebrity backing or an established Silicon Valley network. The company’s global growth has been driven through organic community word of mouth.

Registration remains open worldwide for adults 18 and older as Byio continues expanding access. Learn more or register for consideration at www.byio.com.

About Byio

Byio (By Invite Only) is the first invite-only consumer social marketplace app founded, funded, led and built by Black women. Designed for adults 18 and older, Byio empowers its community to decide who gets invited and who stays while combining social networking, live streaming, creator monetization, and commerce into a single AI-native platform.

72% of Americans Prioritize Reducing Pressure on Local Resources Over Faster AI-Powered Digital Services, Reach3 Insights Study Finds

New research highlights a growing disconnect between widespread acceptance of AI and concerns about the infrastructure needed to support it

CHICAGO, Aug. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Americans have largely embraced artificial intelligence, but they remain conflicted about the local infrastructure needed to support it, according to a new study from Reach3 Insights. Nearly three-quarters (72%) of Americans living in communities with existing or proposed data center developments say reducing pressure on local energy, water and infrastructure is more important than gaining access to faster, more advanced AI-powered digital services.

“Questions about AI infrastructure involve more than whether people support or oppose local data centers,” said Leigh Admirand, executive vice president at Reach3 Insights. “We designed this study to let people explain their views in their own words through conversational follow-up questions and video responses, alongside structured survey questions. That approach provided a deeper understanding of how people think about the tradeoffs between AI, local resources and community impacts.”

The study found broad acceptance of AI itself. Nine in 10 Americans (90%) say AI is here to stay, 81% say it helps them get things done faster and 59% have a positive view of the technology. Yet support changes when respondents consider the infrastructure required to power those services.

While 59% say data centers are necessary to support AI and other digital services, respondents also expressed concerns about their local impacts. The leading concerns include increased electricity demand that could raise utility bills (70%), pressure on local water resources (69%) and noise (53%). Nearly nine in 10 (89%) say companies should provide greater benefits to communities that host data centers.

Among the study’s other findings:

Experience with AI is associated with more favorable views of data centers. AI users are substantially more likely than non-users to support local data center development (43% versus 12%) and to believe AI will have a positive impact on society (58% versus 6%).Support varies across generations. Millennials ages 25-44 report the highest AI adoption and the strongest support for local data center development, while Gen Z adults ages 18-24 report lower AI usage and are among the least supportive of local data centers.Many Americans associate data centers with AI, but fewer recognize the same infrastructure supports many everyday digital services. While 71% recognize AI requires data centers, fewer than half associate them with cloud storage (49%), social media (41%), streaming video (40%) or messaging (29%).

The research was conducted among U.S. adults living in ZIP codes with existing, proposed or anticipated hyperscale or AI data center developments. Participants completed an eight-minute conversational survey on the Rival Technologies platform that combined structured questions with AI-powered Smart Probing and text- and video-based open-ended responses.
