Lotus defends disclosure stance on Kayelekera ramp-up challenges

An announcement from Lotus Resources Limited ( (AU:LOT) ) is now available.

Lotus Resources has responded to an ASX query by outlining why it does not consider certain operational issues at its Kayelekera uranium mine to be materially price-sensitive. The company argues that challenges in ramping up production, including sulphuric acid supply disruptions and plant refurbishment risks, were already disclosed and remain consistent with its guidance for reaching steady-state output.

Management reiterated that Kayelekera is still in the ramp-up phase and that key assumptions underpinning its accelerated restart plan and ore reserve estimates remain unchanged. As a result, Lotus views secondary production drivers, such as grade reconciliation and plant utilisation variability, as not individually or collectively material to investors while the operation transitions toward steady-state production.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:LOT) stock is a Hold with a A$1.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Lotus Resources Limited stock, see the AU:LOT Stock Forecast page.
