Last week, the Bank of England ("BOE") decided to maintain interest rates at 5.25%. However, two out of nine officials from the Monetary Policy Committee ("MPC") voted in favour of an interest rate cut, demonstrating a more dovish view and increasing market expectations for a rate cut in June. This shift was predominantly driven by macroeconomic forecasts indicating inflation heading back towards its 2% target shortly. The market response was relatively subdued as investors awaited incoming economic data, with two sets of inflation and labour market updates scheduled before the BOE's June interest rate decision. Notably the BOE Governor, Andrew Bailey, also hinted at the possibility of deeper interest rate cuts, highlighting the institution's commitment to addressing economic concerns...Stocks featured:Boohoo Group, IWG and John Wood GroupTo find out more about the investment management services offered by Walker Crips, please visit our website:https://www.walkercrips.co.uk/This podcast is intended to be Walker Crips Investment Management's own commentary on markets.

Interview with Gavin Chamberlain, CEO of Bannerman Energy Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/bannerman-energy-otcqxbnnlf-leveraged-upside-as-uranium-mine-nears-build-4942Recording date: 28th March 2024Bannerman Energy (ASX:BMN) is advancing its flagship 8 million ton per annum Etango Uranium Project in Namibia at an opportune time in the uranium market cycle. With a mining license in hand and a rising uranium price environment, the company is progressing funding and offtake discussions to bring this world-class asset into production.Bannerman recently completed conceptual studies examining the potential to expand production to 16 million tons per annum or extend the mine life from 16 to 27 years. While not the immediate focus, these studies demonstrate the inherent scalability and optionality Etango offers to grow with the uranium market.On the funding front, Bannerman is pursuing a dual-track process evaluating both strategic partnerships and traditional debt/equity financing. With A$35 million in cash, the company is well funded to complete detailed engineering through year-end while the optimal financing package is assembled. Importantly, this cash buffer provides flexibility and leverage in these discussions.Bannerman is also in advanced discussions with utilities on long-term uranium sales contracts to underpin the project financing. The company is targeting 75-80% of production under long-term contracts while retaining a portion to sell into the spot market. This strategy aims to strike a balance between security of offtake and preserving exposure to further uranium price upside.Detailed engineering on Etango is well advanced, with lead engineer Wood Group nearing completion. Bannerman has gone to market to tender packages representing 80% of the capital cost estimate, with initial results coming in line with the DFS estimate. This provides a high degree of confidence in the capital cost projections and is a positive signal in the current inflationary environment.The macro outlook for uranium is exceptionally strong. The growing recognition of nuclear power as a critical pillar in the clean energy transition is driving a fundamental shift in the market from a decade of oversupply to a structural deficit. At the same time, supply is constrained by years of underinvestment and a lack of new development projects. These factors are supportive of a sustained rise in uranium prices to the incentive level required to bring new supply online.With a world-class asset, strong cash position, and proven management team, Bannerman Energy offers a compelling investment opportunity in the uranium sector. The company is well positioned to be among the first projects to enter production in the coming uranium bull market, with further upside potential from future expansion and extension optionality.View Bannerman Energy's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/bannerman-energySign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Magnet metals and rare earths miner Pensana has completed the front-end engineering design (FEED) for its UK-based Saltend rare earths production facility and its Angola-based Longonjo mine, reducing the capital expenditure (capex) costs of the projects and improving the operating profitability of both. A comprehensive value engineering and enhancement programme is well advanced and is expected to be reported in April, which is intended to result in a further reduction in the capital costs. Saltend is being designed as the UK's first rare earths processing facility and will produce 12 500 t/y of separated rare earth oxide, of which 4 500 t/y will be magnet metal rare earths – neodymium and praseodymium oxides, equivalent to about 5% of the projected world demand. Working alongside Wood Group's Perth (Australia), Reading (UK) and Johannesburg (South Africa) offices, project management and engineering company Paradigm Project Management (PPM) and Professional Cost Consultants (PCC) have managed to reduce the capital required to establish the projects. As such, the estimated capex for the projects has been reduced from $525-million to $494-million, with Saltend requiring $195-million and Longonjo needing $299-million. Although the cost of the Saltend refinery is set to increase from $190-million to $195-million, the mixed rare earth sulphate refinery cost is set to decrease from $152-million to $127-million; while the Longonjo concentrator will decrease from $134-million to $123-million. This leaves both the Longonjo mine and infrastructure costs, and the operational expenditures, unchanged at $49-million and $15/kg, respectively. This adjustment will result in Pensana producing higher revenues, increasing from the December 2021 estimate of $648-million a year for the first five years, to $705-million a year for the first five years. In turn, this will result in Pensana's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation increasing from a previous estimate of $413-million a year for the first five years, to $459-million a year for the same time period. In addition, the adjustment increases the project's net present value from $2.1-billion to $2.4-billion, and its internal rate of return from 50% to 61%. Considering these metrics, Pensana plans a payback period improvement on its investment from 2.3 years to 2.1 years. Pensana chairperson Paul Atherley says that reducing its capital and operating costs is a significant achievement by the technical team led by CEO Tim George, especially considering the inflationary pressures and supply chain constraints affecting projects globally. “The lower capital and strong operating margins will make the project attractive to our Financiers and are expected to lower the overall cost of finance,” says Atherley. Global supply chain constraints and inflationary pressures, which could have impacted both the Saltend and Longonjo projects, have been largely mitigated by the detailed enhancement and value engineering processes. Consequently, specific workstreams involving capital and operation cost savings are currently under way, including using spent acid regeneration to increase the recycling efficiency of the sulphuric acid plant. This will be integrated with off-gas from the calcining of concentrate at Longonjo, which is an important aspect of the process and constitutes a significant reduction of the carbon footprint through reduced reagent consumption. The piloting of a more cost-effective flotation concentrate calcining process offers a vendor alternative post-FEED, which would enable a significantly shorter lead time for fabrication and ease of installation at Longonjo. In addition, enhancement of Saltend's civil and earthworks for load-bearing structures is being undertaken alongside the completion of detailed geotechnical investigation, which will shorten the construction period and enable future affordable expansion into downstream activities associated with magnet metal p...

The Justice Department and the Securities Exchange Commission are back in business. The first corporate FCPA enforcement action in 2021 came after a six-month hiatus in 2021. The first case against a corporate entity in 2021 is an interesting one because it reflects a coordinated settlement not only between DOJ and the SEC but the U.K.'s Serious Fraud Office and Brazil's Ministério Público Federal (MPF), the Controladoría-Geral da União (CGU) and the Advogado-Geral da União (AGU) in Brazil. Amec Foster Wheeler Energy, a subsidiary of the U.K. global engineering company, Wood Group, agreed to pay the United States $18.375 million to resolve criminal charges for bribery payments made in Brazil to win a $190 million contract to design a gas-to-chemicals facility. Amec Foster entered into a three-year deferred prosecution agreement (DPA) in exchange for its payment of $18.375 million. In related settlements, Amec Foster agreed to pay the SEC approximately $22.7 million in disgorgement and prejudgment interest to the SEC to resolve FCPA charges. The SEC agreed to offset up to $9.1 million paid to Brazil and $3.5 million to the SFO in the United Kingdom, leaving a minimum payment of approximately $10 million to the SEC. In this Episode, Michael Volkov reviews the Foster Wheeler FCPA enforcement action.
ASX- and LSE-listed Pensana Rare Earths has successfully produced a mixed rare earth carbonate (MREC) rich in neodymium and praseodymium (NdPr) from testwork that is currently under way at its Longonjo rare earth project, in Angola. Industry experts Wood Group and Nagrom have successfully developed a flowsheet to produce a particularly high-grade MREC with NdPr comprising 33.5% of the total rare earths content. This was based on testwork performed at a metallurgical laboratory in Perth, Australia. Pensana explains that MREC is a high-purity and high-value product, with a broad market and range of applications. The resultant MREC from the testwork is higher quality than the concentrate product contemplated in Pensana’s preliminary feasibility study and compares favourably with the main products currently being produced and sold in China. The company continues with pilot plant work and metallurgical testwork to finalise the preferred processing route, as well as to provide data for engineering and production cost estimates for the project’s bankable feasibility study (BFS). Pensana says a comprehensive update on the BFS will be reported towards the end of October. Two of the circuits will be required to run for longer to bring the testwork results up to the required reporting standards for the study, which will enable the finalisation of the report in due course. The BFS will report whether there is potential for the project to be brought online as the first major rare earths mine in over a decade and to offer a sustainable supply of MREC at a time when there is growing concern around the provenance of the rare earths supply chain. The BFS will also be underpinned by the project’s updated mineral resource estimate published in September. The project contains 313-million tonnes at 1.43% total rare earth oxides, including 0.32% NrPr for 4.4-million tonnes of total rare earth oxides, including 990 000 t of measured, indicated and inferred NdPr resources. CEO Tim George comments that the project’s potential has been further confirmed by it being able produce a marketable higher-value NdPr MREC, since the market for this carbonate is substantially larger than that of a concentrate and is potentially not limited to China. “We are now in a position to start discussions with potential offtake parties in Japan, Korea and Europe in addition to the wide range of potential customers in China. “Importantly the combination of this value-adding step with the excellent infrastructure, not least the available hydro-electric power supply, will enable us to develop Longonjo as one of the world’s most sustainable rare earth suppliers on the critical magnet metal supply chain,” he adds. With the recent resource upgrade and ongoing financial backing of the Angola Sovereign Wealth Fund, the company is confident about its ability to rapidly develop the project.
