24-Apr-2020: Peninsula Welcomes US Uranium Recommendations
Peninsula Energy Limited (PEN) welcomes the key update provided by US Secretary of Energy Dan Brouillette in releasing the Nuclear Fuel Working Group’s (NFWG) strategy report.
In the report the NFWG, a collaborative interagency effort, outlines a comprehensive whole-ofgovernment strategy of actions that could revive the capabilities of the uranium mining, milling and conversion industries in support of the entire US nuclear industry. The strategy recognises that US national security is truly integrated with the health of the front-end of the nuclear fuel cycle.
Among the key recommendations from the NFWG strategy are:
Peninsula Managing Director and CEO Mr Wayne Heili noted that as and when implemented, the recommendations of the NFWG are expected to provide an immediate boost to US uranium producers such as Peninsula through supply agreements with the DOE. The policy recommendations would contribute significantly to the long-term health of the industry.
“This looks to be a very good outcome for Peninsula and all US uranium producers,” he said.
“As an initial step, the President’s FY2021 budget request for the DOE includes US$150 million per annum for the next 10 years for the purchase and development of a Uranium Reserve program. The DOE would purchase uranium from domestic uranium producers to develop a strategic stockpile that would be available for nuclear power operators in the event of a nuclear fuel market disruption. Based on the report recommendations, this would mean purchases of 17 to 19 million pounds of freshly mined uranium supplied by US producers including Peninsula.
“Peninsula is in an excellent position to rapidly re-start production from our two fully-developed mine units at our flagship Lance Project, using the low pH method, to supply these needs.”

PEN is down -18% today on this announcement, so the market was clearly not as bullish on the implications for PEN as PEN's own management are. PDN (Paladin) are down -4.55%. VMY (Vimy) are flat. DYL (Deep Yellow) are down -2%. PEN (Peninsula Energy) are the only ones out of those 4 with their uranium mine(s)/project(s) located 100% in the USA.
Here's another couple of recent announcements by PEN (I do NOT hold PEN shares currently):

PEN delays Production & Accelerates Inhouse Resin Processing
The Ross process plant at Lance was constructed in 2015 as a satellite production facility. Although fully licensed for production of a finished uranium yellowcake product, the facility was only built to produce uranium-bearing ion-exchange resins.
As at 30 June 2023, Peninsula had available cash balance of US$21.5m and balance of 210,000lbs uncommitted strategic inventory valued at US$11.8m (UxC 30JUN2023 price of US$56.00/lb). • Peninsula is hold
( acceleration of the Delay ..lol ) its like Elon Musk says Space x ( The four-minute flight ended in what the company called a “rapid unscheduled disassembly” — meaning it blew up.)
CORPORATE FUNDING REQUIREMENTS Under this revised Ross & Kendrick LoM plan, between July 2023 (commencement period of the revised LoM plan) and the point where the project is forecast to generate sustainable positive cash flows (estimated to be September 2025), an additional US$19.3M (excluding contingency) is required to be spent on the process plant. Up to this same point in time, an additional US$41.2M (excluding contingency) is planned to be spent on wellfield development CAPEX (Mine Unit 3, Mine Unit 4, and the commencement of development activities in the Kendrick Area). The wellfield capital expenditure is required to enable the flow rate to the plant to ramp-up to approximately 5,000 GPM during H2 CY2025. In the same period, the Project is projected to require US$44.3M in OPEX and site overhead expenditures. The OPEX and CAPEX contingency along with an allowance for escalation totals US$9.4M.
The total Project level expenditure projected between July 2023 and August 2025 is US$120.1M. In the same period, the Company estimates it will require an additional US$22.3M, made up of corporate costs (US$8.9M), non-project area exploration and growth initiatives (US$0.9M) and a working capital buffer allowance (US$12.5M).
The Company enters this period with a cash balance of US$21.4M and anticipates uranium sales activities to net US$26M during the same period, including the assumed sale of strategic inventory. Considering all corporate level sources and uses, the Company projects a net additional funding need of US$95M to achieve sustainable positive cash flows.
