  • Estimated Life of Mine C1 Costs are updated to US$27.40/lb. (previously US$26.90/lb.), primarily due to increased estimated contract mining rates
  • Confirmation of an estimated project execution timeframe of 18 months from project commencement to first production, with full production achieved after a further 15 months
  • A total of 83.8 Mlbs of U3O8 in Proved and Probable Reserves. (1)

Paladin also indicates that the restart work technical programs are now complete, providing a robust and competitive plan for rapidly restarting production in the right uranium price environment. In addition, Paladin states that they continue to engage global nuclear energy utilities with the intent of securing uranium offtake contracts with sufficient duration and value to underpin the restart of the Langer Heinrich mine. Paladin also states that additional concept studies are underway to further identify value enhancement opportunities for the operation.

Paladin disclosed that the restart of the Langer Heinrich Mine will only be considered upon it securing additional long-term contracts with sufficient duration and value to underpin an appropriate return to stakeholders and to aim to ensure the economic returns required are met. It further disclosed that the duration, structure, and pricing of the proposed term contracts are subject to bilateral negotiations with potential customers and are commercially sensitive and confidential and, accordingly, it will not be providing guidance on the hurdle price required to support a decision to restart the Langer Heinrich Mine.
