Investor presentation summary
4 May, 2026Market overview and strategic positioning
Global nuclear reactor expansion is driving significant growth in uranium demand, with 438 operable reactors, 79 under construction, and 311 proposed worldwide as of April 2026.
A widening structural uranium supply-demand deficit is projected, with visible new supply insufficient to meet future requirements, necessitating an additional 50Mlb of new supply annually by 2040.
Assets are strategically located in Namibia and Canada, providing diversification and access to Tier-1 industry counterparties in the US, Europe, and Asia.
Langer Heinrich Mine (LHM) performance
Namibia accounts for ~12% of global uranium production, with LHM producing and selling 49Mlb U3O8 since 2007.
A US$120M restart project was completed in 2024, focusing on repair, refurbishment, and debottlenecking to maximize plant availability.
Ramp-up is on track for completion by end of FY2026, with upgraded production guidance of 4.5–4.8Mlb U3O8 for FY2026.
In the first nine months of FY2026, 3Mlb U3O8 was sold at an average realized price of US$69.8/lb, with 22Mlb contracted through 2030.
86% of LHM ore reserves are exposed to market-related prices or remain uncontracted, providing leverage to uranium market dynamics.
Patterson Lake South (PLS) Project highlights
Located in Canada’s Athabasca Basin, the PLS Project targets ~9Mlb U3O8 average annual production over a 10-year mine life, with significant exploration upside.
The project boasts a high-grade, shallow orebody, supporting efficient conventional mining and reduced development time and costs.
Strong project economics include a post-tax NPV of US$1.3B and a 28.2% IRR at a US$90/lb uranium price, with a 2.4-year payback period.
PLS is highly cash flow generative across a range of uranium price scenarios, with average annual free cash flow of US$430M at US$90/lb.
Ongoing exploration and resource conversion efforts aim to extend mine life and unlock further value, focusing on the Triple R deposit and Saloon East trend.
