CEO
“We now have a robust financial platform to progress the production ramp-up at the Lance Project, execute on our Horizon 21 plan including funding the Kendrick and Dagger studies, and supporting ongoing corporate and operational initiatives. The completion of the central processing plant expansion and production of first yellowcake demonstrates the tangible progress we have already made and our ability to deliver on strategic objectives.

In June 2025, the Company announced that it reached an agreement with Samuel EPC, LLC to settle all outstanding claims and variations associated with their work on Phase II of the CPP. This resulted in the Company paying an additional US$4.0 million to Samuel EPC, LLC comprising US$2.0 million in cash and US$2.0 million in Peninsula shares (issued to Samuel EPC, LLC post the end of the year).
Financial Performance Peninsula recorded a consolidated group loss for the year ended 30 June 2025 of US$12.5 million after income tax (2024: loss of US$12.4 million). During the reporting period, the Company renegotiated its portfolio of sales contracts, incurring a US$3.9 million cash cost and non-cash costs of US$7.5 million related to fulfilling uranium sales obligations and terminating five out of six outstanding sales contracts. These expenses were largely offset by a US$10.4 million non-cash fair value gain resulting from the reversal of financial derivatives associated with some of the sales contracts, previously recognised under the AASB 9 Financial Instruments accounting standard. The Company recorded other income of US$4.7 million (2024: US$1.3 million), which includes interest revenue of US$2.0 million and a non-cash US$2.7 million gain resulting from the deconsolidation of a subsidiary associated with the exit from the discontinued Karoo operation in South Africa. Corporate, administration, and marketing expenses amounted to US$8.6 million (2024: US$7.5 million). This increase reflects expanded corporate capability and activities linked to the Company's updated corporate strategy, which included resetting the Company’s sales book and securing financing for the Lance Project commissioning and ramp-up period which is anticipated to continue through the 2027 calendar year. Financial Position During the year the Company continued development of the Lance Project assets, construction of the CPP and nearby wellfields. This significant construction activity has consumed much of the Company’s cash assets raised during the 2024 year and is the primary contributor to the Company’s 30 June 2025 deficit in working capital of US$3.1 million (2024: US$99.5 million surplus). In 2025, the Company’s net assets decreased slightly from US$185.2 million as at 30 June 2024 to US$170.1 million as at 30 June 2025. This change was primarily due to ongoing construction and development activities related to the Lance Project, as well as increased corporate operations required to secure project financing through the anticipated commissioning and production ramp-up phase, which is expected to continue through the 2027 calendar year. At 30 June 2025 the Company had 159,994,581 shares on issue and 205,000 unlisted options for the Non Executive Directors, exercisable at A$6.00, expiring 29 November 2027. Statement of Cash Flows During the 2025 financial year the Company invested US$81.9 million in the construction and development of the Lance Project assets including the CPP to become an independent producer of uranium concentrate. The Company also incurred US$8.6 million expenditure in corporate, administration, and marketing activities during the 2025 financial year which included resetting the Company’s sales book and securing financing for the Lance Projects commissioning and ramp-up period which is anticipated to continue through the 2027 calendar year.
Uranium Inventory At 30 June 2025 Peninsula held 15,182 lbs of uranium concentrate. The total market value of this inventory at 30 June 2025 was US$1.1 million (US$73.70/lb U3O8).
Outlook Nuclear power is increasingly recognised as essential to energy security and decarbonisation. Globally, governments are extending the life of existing reactors, approving new builds, and providing targeted policy support to meet net-zero commitments. China’s reactor expansion program, reactor restarts in Japan and Europe, and growing demand from emerging economies underpin a positive long-term outlook for uranium. In the United States, nuclear energy is being repositioned as a cornerstone of energy security and energy dominance. The U.S. remains the world’s largest consumer of uranium, requiring more than 50 million pounds U₃O₈ annually, yet domestic production last year supplied less than one percent of this demand. Recent policy initiatives, including Executive Orders under the Trump Administration and bipartisan Congressional support, emphasise the importance of rebuilding domestic nuclear fuel supply chains. Measures include government-backed uranium purchasing programs, funding for advanced reactor technologies, and efforts to reduce reliance on Russian supply. At the same time, a new demand driver is emerging from the technology sector. The rapid growth of artificial intelligence and data centres is driving unprecedented electricity requirements. Major U.S. technology companies have publicly committed to long-term, carbon-free energy procurement, and several have announced direct investments in nuclear power projects and advanced reactor development. These initiatives highlight unique ability of nuclear energy to provide reliable, carbon-free baseload power at the scale required to support the digital economy. On the supply side, global uranium mine production continues to fall short of reactor requirements, with inventories and secondary supplies bridging the gap. Operational challenges in major producing regions such as Kazakhstan and Canada have further tightened supply, while utilities are accelerating contracting activity to ensure diversification and security of supply. The uranium price has remained strong, reflecting the supply-demand imbalance and increasing utility contracting. Market commentators expect ongoing support in the medium term as demand growth outpaces new mine supply. Against this backdrop, the Company’s Lance Project in Wyoming positions it as a domestic supplier of uranium to the U.S. nuclear fuel cycle. With production having recently re-started, the Company is aligned with U.S. policy objectives to strengthen energy security, reduce reliance on foreign supply, and deliver long-term value into an increasingly buoyant uranium market.

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.

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.
