Uranio, Mike Pompeo nominato presidente di Reveille Resources

Reveille Resources, a company focused on exploring and developing historic uranium deposits in Italy, has appointed Mike Pompeo as the non-executive Chairman of the Board. The appointment will take effect after the usual regulatory checks for joining the board and will last for an initial period of three years. The primary shareholder of Reveille is Zenith Energy, an international group active in natural gas and renewable energy production, co-founded and led by Andrea Cattaneo, and listed on the London Stock Exchange and Euronext Growth Oslo.

Reveille was established in 2026 from the spin-off of Zenith's Italian uranium activities, which now hold about 25% of the company's capital, alongside 15% of Ajax Resources Plc, a natural resources exploration and development company listed on the London Stock Exchange, founded and led by Ippolito Ingo Cattaneo, executive of Reveille.

Former U.S. Secretary of State and former CIA director Pompeo is a partner and member of the investment committee of Niobrara Capital Partners, a U.S. private equity firm. He is also an administrator of Veon and an non-executive director of Acg Metals Limited, a London-listed copper producer. As chairman, Pompeo's role will be to strategically guide the board and support Reveille's growth, particularly in positioning the company on issues of energy security and critical raw materials and nuclear fuel.

In Italy, Reveille's two exploration projects, Novazza (Valgoglio in Bergamo province) and Val Vedello (Piateda in Sondrio province), are among the country's most well-known uranium deposits, having been the subject of significant exploration and development activities by Agip Nucleare until the mid-1980s. These activities did not result in uranium production.

Pompeo stated that uranium is not a commodity like others but a strategic metal. The renewed interest in Italy for nuclear energy is an important signal. Reveille does not promise immediate production: the task today is to explore responsibly and understand what is possible, starting from a solid foundation, decades of work done in the past by the Eni group.

As an Italian-American with roots in Abruzzo, Pompeo is particularly proud to contribute to this path and to a constructive dialogue with Italian institutions and territories.
