Summary
Peninsula Energy Limited has provided an operational update on its Lance Uranium Project in Wyoming, USA. The company has withdrawn its CY2026 production guidance due to slower-than-expected ramp-up primarily related to wellfield hydraulic and chemistry optimization challenges, rather than issues with the uranium resource or extraction process. However, the CY2027 guidance remains at 500,000 to 600,000 lbs of U3O8. Notably, the low-pH ISR uranium recovery process is producing significantly higher uranium grades than prior methods. Peninsula is focused on improving operational practices and transitioning wellfield drilling to an owner-operated model to reduce costs and increase flexibility. Financially, the company remains strong with a recent US$56 million funding package. The long-term outlook for the Lance Project remains positive, with increasing demand for domestically sourced uranium in the US.
Key Points
  • CY2026 production guidance withdrawn due to slower ramp-up.
