Lotus Resources has launched a non-underwritten institutional placement to raise approximately A$76 million at A$2.15 per share, alongside a share purchase plan targeting up to A$5 million, to bolster working capital as it ramps up the Kayelekera uranium project to positive cash flow. The planned equity raising, which will significantly increase pro forma cash to about A$145 million, is intended to fund completion of cost-optimising infrastructure such as an acid plant and grid connection, support the uranium working capital cycle, and provide balance sheet flexibility so the company can pursue a disciplined offtake strategy while targeting nameplate production of around 2.4 million pounds per annum and first product shipment in the June quarter of 2026.
