Peninsula Energy Limited has announced that it has completed a positive FID to restart uranium production operations at the company’s flagship Lance projects located in Wyoming, USA. Lance holds a JORC (2012) Resource of 53.7 million lb U3O8 which constitutes one of the largest uranium production development projects in the United States. Lance is the only uranium ISR project situated in the United States that is fully permitted to utilise the low-pH ISR recovery process.

Further, the company has announced that it has entered into an underwriting agreement with Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited to conduct a fully underwritten institutional placement of 244 million new fully paid ordinary shares to raise AUS$32 million and launch a nonunderwritten SPP to eligible shareholders in Australia and New Zealand to raise up to a maximum of AUS$3 million.

Peninsula’s Managing Director and CEO, Mr Wayne Heili, said:

“It is with a tremendous sense of excitement that we are advancing the Lance projects back into production. Our team has put an enormous amount of work over recent years into the transition to a low-pH ISR operation and we will be confidently moving forward to production. The underwritten placement supports the Board’s investment decision and marks a great milestone for the company. Now, with this AUS$35 million equity issue, the preparatory works that have already been completed, and the commencement of restart works, we are on a clear pathway to production commencing in 1Q23.”
