Good stats on the surface of it hang. What's the mc of both attributed to the projects? Would make the comparison clearer.Thankfully the USA values ISR uranium projects
Here is a comparison of PEN's Lance project, with what the USA regards as one of the good ones.
Both companies projects in the Powder River Basin Wyoming USA, both the same ISR process. Data sourced from the respective companies recent PFS.
Lance is also noted as having a Darcy rating around 4-5 times higher than Uranerz has reported (as mentioned here previously).
Both companies are delineating further resources.
Uranerz is on a buy recommendation with 5 USA brokers and is ahead of PEN by 12mths on permitting and proposed start up.
The figures speak for themselves. Also do a comparison of the Opex and Capex of PEN compared with conventional miners costs. You will see why ISR is so good.
PEN 15.1M/lbs -
$72.1M Capex (of all plant and equipment including contingency for replacement cost of around $11M and mobile equipment)
$21.42/lb Total Opex (including taxes and royalties)
$14.00/lb Opex
Uranerz 11.25M/lbs -
$85.2M Capex (of all plant and equipment not including any contingency for replacement cost of plant or any mobile plant)
$32.70/lb Opex (including taxes and royalties, plus $6.70/lb toll processing fee)
$26.00/lb Opex
Just a very quick glance at URZ web site and they don't seem to have anything else on the radar except U in Wyoming, so probably a fair comparison.My main focus was comparing the projects Kennas, but good point.
Not 100% accurate but very close at todays sp's:
URZ Mkt cap - USD$83,140,295 (~AUD$$94,779,937.10)
PEN Mkt cap - AUD$64,600,000 (~USD $56,666,666)
US brokers are suggesting URZ targets of USD$2.30 to USD$2.80 leading to production next year.
Yes GFC destroyed everything, and will again if it goes pear again. Right about shares on issue. Maybe they need to do a consolidation like EXT did a couple of years ago. Why have so many shares on issue?Yes Hartleys and almost every other brokers sp targets since the GFC. Definately not exclusive to PEN or Hartleys.
In fairness they had a target of 8.2 and it went quite strongly to 6.1 before the market started to crumble again. Can't hold that against Hartleys either. RCR also has a buy recommendation on PEN.
It will be very interesting to see what pans out from here though.
As for shares, yes they have a large number of shares on issue. However as you rightly pointed toward in your previous posting it is market cap that matters, not the number of shares on issue.

CEO/Chairman Gus Simpson on BRR, well worth a listen.

Hi Miner, I have been very busy of late and this thread was so quiet I got tired of chatting to myself
HS
Still a way to go but PEN is really looking the goods project wise.
The big ticket items that will really get the sp moving though, in no particular order are:
- Increased Jorc, especially to indicated
- Permit approval
- Funding
All we are doing at the moment is gathering up lost ground following the last 2 CR's and a down market generally. But great to see the corner finally turned.
T/A is starting to look a little healthy now.
I would like to see another broker do a PEN analysis. So far only Hartleys and RCR Capital Research. Both of which report highly of PEN.
The interest is building slowly but surely though. Traders I am sure will again be all over PEN on each announcement now. Quite a few will be coming through as well from here on, so they will have plenty to play with I am sure.
Should be a resource update soon.
