Metals mining company announcements incorporated into today’s Peer Table (resource updates, economic studies, changes in attributable project ownership) include:

  • 23 Jan 2025 - Uranium developer Goviex Uranium (TSXV:GXU) announced results of a Feasibility Study (FS) for its fully-permitted, 100%-owned Muntanga uranium project in Zambia, which yielded a post-tax NPV8% of US$243M (at $90/lb U3O8) from inital capex of $282M. And this NPV only decreases to $131M after adjusting for our Recent Spot uranium price of $77.5/lb U3O8 (according to the NPV sensitivity provided in the FS), resulting in a P/NAV (market cap / NPV) of 0.21x, which is a 13% discount to our uranium developer peer group median P/NAV of 0.24x (from 15 companies, at our same Recent Spot uranium price). And this NPV for GXU excludes any contribution from the company’s (former) 80% ownership in the Madaouela project in Niger, for which the Company announced in July 2024 that the Niger Ministry of Mines decided to deprive the company of its right under its mining permit, which the company beleives to be unlawful. GXU subsequently announced in December 2024 that is had filed a request for arbitration, and in its 6 Jan 2025 letter to shareholders, the company signaled that it had commenced arbitration proceedings, and remained commited to pursuing every avenue available to protect GXU’s rights in relation to that project.
