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

Lotus Resources has secured product acceptance from Orano Chimie-Enrichissement for uranium ore concentrate from its Kayelekera project, clearing a key commercial and logistical hurdle for the mine’s restart. Orano’s Malvesi conversion facility in France will receive shipments once independent laboratory testing and initial acceptance conditions are met, with review under way for material produced during the late-2025 commissioning phase.

The company remains on schedule to achieve nameplate production at Kayelekera in the June quarter of 2026, supported by improving operational performance and resilient supply chains. In response to shipping disruptions on its preferred Tanzania route via Dar es Salaam, Lotus is preparing an alternative export path through Walvis Bay in Namibia, enhancing delivery flexibility as it pursues accreditation with additional western converters to broaden sales and contracting options.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:LOT) stock is a Sell with a A$1.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Lotus Resources Limited stock, see the AU:LOT Stock Forecast page.
