Reveille Resources, an exploration and development company focusing on Italy’s historic uranium deposits – aims to explore the historic uranium deposits at Novazza and Val Vedello, located between the provinces of Bergamo and Sondrio – has announced the appointment of Mike Pompeo as non-executive chairman of the Board of Directors. The appointment will take effect upon completion of the customary regulatory checks required for joining the board and will have an initial term of three years.

Reveille’s main shareholder is Zenith Energy, an international group active, amongst other things, in the generation of energy from gas and renewable sources, co-founded and led by Andrea Cattaneo from Genoa, and listed on the London Stock Exchange and Euronext Growth Oslo.

Reveille was established in 2026 following the spin-off of Zenitth’s Italian uranium operations; Zenitth is now its largest shareholder, holding approximately 25 per cent of the share capital, alongside Ajax Resources Plc, which holds 15 per cent, a natural resources exploration and development company listed on the Aquis Stock Exchange in London, founded and led by Ippolito Ingo Cattaneo, an executive director of Reveille.

A former US Secretary of State and former Director of the CIA, Pompeo is a partner and a member of the investment committee at Niobrara Capital Partners, a US private equity firm. He is also a director of Veon and a non-executive director of ACG Metals Limited, a copper producer listed on the London Stock Exchange. He is also a director of Cyabra, a digital risk intelligence firm listed on the Nasdaq.

As chairman, Pompeo will be responsible for providing strategic direction to the board of directors and guiding Reveille’s growth. In particular, he will help shape the company’s position on issues relating to energy security and the supply chains for critical raw materials and nuclear fuel.

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

According to Pompeo, ‘uranium is not a raw material like any other: it is a strategic metal. Italia’s renewed interest in nuclear power is an important sign. Reveille does not promise immediate production: the task today is to explore responsibly and understand what is possible, building on a solid foundation laid by decades of work carried out in the past by the Eni Group. As an Italian-American with roots in Abruzzo, I am particularly proud to contribute to this journey and to a constructive dialogue with Italian institutions and local communities.”
