LOT is on track for a 3QCY25 restart of the Kayelekera uranium mine, following a 10-month repair and commissioning phase. The initial restart is on budget (US$50m) and will be followed up by efficiency works costing a further ~US$40m. The DFS and FEED study highlighted a 10-year LOM production ~2.4mlbpa at an AISC of US$44.8/lb. Near-term catalysts include additional contracts/offtakes and updates on restart ramp-up at Kayelekera. We believe the timing of the Kayelekera restart and ramp-up coincides with tightness in the uranium market, driving economic upside from our near-term bullish price outlook. Longer-term there is upside from the Letlhakane uranium project development
