...coupled with cycle lows presented caps of less than <$10m as entry points.
The project PFS and DFS stages coupled with an upward cycle produced caps of $70-150m, 4-6x on a diluted basis.
Then all are moving to production and cashflow over the next 3 to 24 months....

...with likely caps of $300-800m and diluted returns of 7-30x through 2024/25.
The average holding time will likely be 8-9 years for 14x return.

Playing the long game over a project life cycle (and 1 or 2 up cycles) with low quartile AISC and capex.

Indications on market bottoming, we will be keeping our dry powder particularly dry until the forward returns are exceptional.... 8x plus over 36 months.

B) mint cashflow near historic peak spot prices
C) high IRRs near peak prices
D) ability utilize high cashflow for debt termination, stock buy backs and dividends
E) cycle bottom to peak often >10x
Benefits of scaling production Vs peak?
A) doubling volumes with halving margins = steady cashflow
B) increasing economies of scale due to fixed costs spread over increasing volume
C) low AISC coupled with scalability at low capex is Cashflow minting in 4th quartile pricing
We are asked often would we sell certain positions given declining spot prices Vs our target fair value prices.
The answer is a combination of is it trading on less than 1x implied annual cashflow (based on 2023 cashflows), will 2025 volumes more than double, 2027 triple?
$AEE gearing up the expertise for fast tracking production. At $75 pricing, Tiris peak annual cashflow exceeds A$150m, in ground resource will produce $3.5bn in cashflow, revised NPV on full resource exceeds A$700m. #uranium Skate to where the puck is going, not where it has been
Those who continue to skate to where the puck has been will miss the real story as it unfolds:
A) resource and reserve upgrade
B) "full" NPV over A$700m
C) fast track expertise additions
D) financing avenue crystalization
E) larger production capacity 3-5mlbs
Our focus continues to be enjoying this cap growing from lows of A$6m to A$1bn over the #uranium cycle. Implementing positive change and direction has and will be key to achieving this result. The road to production for this low cost and capex player is pretty much assured.
Medium term investors buying the dip should act with serious caution, bear market dipping becomes a serious capital loss exercise. Understand the wider liquidity flow issues at play, avoid becoming the victim. Most inexperienced investors will struggle with the losses.
Decoupling from contagion takes time, the period of time will be shorter assuming the #uranium spot moves above $65 while equities price in $45 or longer if the spot contages lower as well.
50-70% down from recent 7 month highs continues to be a compelling accummulation zone
Fools buy the 15 dips in a bear market and self destruct 80% of their capital.
Those of us who built up 25-45% dry powder over the last 9 months have the resources to deploy into the next cycle bottoms that will multiply our capital by 10x plus. #uranium #commodities #cyclicals
Are you the speculator running to #oil stocks post the 15x rise post $125 spot?
Or are you the investor running to a #countrycyclebottom post 95% plus falls?
Over a 5 year time horizon where do you think the smart money went? The deflated expectations theme or the inflated?
Stupid capital flows have commenced arrival into #Commodities, particularly #oil, consistent with a blow off top, run after the shiny object formation. This can continue for a while prior to the peak occurring, we are in scale down mode as this unfolds. +50% = sell 70%.
#oil services stocks will run this week they have further torque.
