Lotus Resources advances Kayelekera ramp-up despite processing challenges

Lotus Resources Limited ( (AU:LOT) ) just unveiled an announcement.

Lotus Resources reported continued ramp-up progress at its Kayelekera mine, highlighting a strong safety record, strengthened on-site leadership, and infrastructure upgrades, including an improved laboratory to enhance performance. The company secured product acceptance from Orano’s French conversion facility, restored sulphuric acid supply, and advanced capital projects such as acid plant commissioning, tailings storage expansion, and grid connection, though higher input costs and technical reconciliation issues tempered processing performance.

Mining activities are now spread across three fronts with a run-of-mine stockpile exceeding 200,000 tonnes, while processing still relies on historical stockpiles ahead of a shift to mainly newly mined ore in the current quarter. Lotus also progressed permitting for first uranium shipments in the second half of 2026, continued resource and study work at Letlhakane ahead of an updated resource and feasibility study, and ended the quarter with A$85 million in cash as it pursues inventory financing aligned to initial deliveries, underpinning confidence in achieving steady-state production.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:LOT) stock is a Buy with a A$3.10 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Lotus Resources Limited stock, see the AU:LOT Stock Forecast page.
