Commissioning Proceeding to Plan as Boss Prepares for First Sales
Honeymoon is exceeding key feasibility study estimates; First uranium sales set for July
Boss Energy Limited (ASX: BOE; OTCQX: BQSSF) is pleased to advise that the commissioning process at its Honeymoon uranium project is proceeding to plan, with key metrics exceeding feasibility study forecasts.
Highlights
- Commissioning process advancing well, with key metrics ahead of feasibility study (FS) estimates, including:
- Wellfields averaging 80 - 100mg/L vs FS estimate of 47mg/L (~100% uplift)
- Ion Exchange loaded resin recoverability is virtually 100%
- Resin loading averaging 36g/L vs FS estimate of 27 g/L (~33% uplift)
- Elution performance > 7g/L vs a targeted range of 3 – 5 g/L
- First uranium sale is expected to occur in July with cash to be received in Q3 2024
- Boss remains highly leveraged to rising uranium price, with sales contracts covering just 1.8Mlbs over eight years
This outperformance is reflected in results of the uranium-rich Pregnant Leach Solution (PLS) from the wellfields, IX column resin loading and high grade IX column eluate.
The focus is now on optimisation of the ion exchange, elution and precipitation processes to achieve continuous operations.
Production update
Tenors from the individual wellfields into the PLS are averaging 80 - 100 mg/L. Honeymoon’s feasibility study assumed PLS grade of 47 mg/L based on results from the project’s previous operation.
The lixiviant chemistry, as proved during the field leach trial, is now demonstrating superior performance at commercial throughput rates. The increased leach efficiency leads to a more efficient loading on the ion exchange resin, effectively lowering operating costs as less reagents and power are required per drum of uranium.
A critical factor in resin performance is the actual loading of uranium from the PLS onto the ion exchange resin. Demonstrated loading rates of up to 36g/L are 33% higher than feasibility estimates. This means Honeymoon’s ion exchange circuit is currently making more uranium per cycle than designed. The cost of processing a cycle of ion exchange resin is fixed, which means that higher resin loading will drive a more efficient use of reagents.
Stripping of uranium from the loaded resin is virtually 100%, also demonstrating that the ion exchange process is working as designed, resulting in a high grade concentrated eluate greater than 7g/L.
First Sale of Product
Boss has sought from the outset to align its production strategy and timetable with the global uranium market, maximising its ability to capitalise on favourable supply and demand fundamentals.
As at 31 March 2024, Boss had ~$300m in liquid assets, no debt and diversity of supply with no jurisdictional risk. This strong balance sheet has provided Boss with flexibility to choose when it enters into contracts and to select pricing mechanisms which maximise our exposure to market upside while limiting risk in softer market conditions.
To date, Boss has entered into two binding sales agreement to sell 1.8Mlbs U308 to major European / US power utilities over eight years from 2024 to 2032. The Company intends to enter into further as the uranium price rises.
Boss’s contracting strategy is to monitor the markets and layer in contracts, predominantly market related, to optimise future pricing and, in the near term, to ensure profitability and cash flow as production ramps up. First delivery into these contracts is planned to occur in July 2024 with payment expected in that quarter.
Boss Managing Director Duncan Craib said: “We are very pleased with the commissioning progress to date. We are meeting or exceeding key feasibility study forecasts and the processing technology is performing as our extensive testwork showed it would.
“These early production results provide confidence that we are on-track to meet our ramp up targets. Ramp-up timing has been designed to align with a rising uranium market. We believe we will be hitting our straps as the uranium price rises in the near term”.

Boss Energy Limited
Overview
Boss Energy (ASX:BOE) (OTCQX:BQSSF) is a listed Australian producer of uranium. The company has two projects – the 100 percent owned Honeymoon uranium project in South Australia and the 30 percent owned Alta Mesa project in the US.
The macro-environment and steps taken by the US government remain favorable for uranium producers such as Boss Energy. The United States Congress recently enacted legislation prohibiting the importation of Russian uranium products. Known as the Prohibiting Russian Uranium Imports Act (HR 1042), this legislation was passed by the House of Representatives on December 11, 2023, and later approved by the Senate on April 30, 2024. The prohibition is valid until 2040.
The legislation's sunset provision, set for 2040, aims to encourage the sustained deployment of uranium conversion and enrichment facilities and services in the United States and its allied nations over the long term. This should benefit domestic suppliers such as Boss Energy.
According to UxC estimates, annual uranium demand could surge by nearly 65 percent, exceeding 300 million pounds (Mlbs) U308 by 2030, up from the current demand level of 197 Mlbs U308. Meanwhile, the projected mine supply for 2024 is approximately 155 Mlbs U308, suggesting a deficit of nearly 40 Mlbs.
Moreover, there is an expected surge in demand for uranium due to the projected 18 percent increase in nuclear reactor capacity from 2023 to 2030. Nuclear energy will be critical in meeting the global ambition of net zero emission. Thus, ensuring a secure supply is crucial, and the Honeymoon mine is strategically positioned to provide uranium from South Australia to a market facing escalating geopolitical instability.
Spot uranium prices have jumped dramatically. They are the highest since 2008, at over US$80/lb. Due to the tightness of the uranium supply/demand balance, prices are expected to remain strong.
The company’s first drum production in April 2024 at the Honeymoon mine is timed with strong market fundamentals. Boss has entered into two binding sales agreements to sell ~1.8 Mlbs U308 to two major Western utilities in 2032. These agreements ensure a stable revenue flow for Boss, offer strong profit margins, and reinforce the trust utilities placed in the supply from the Honeymoon Uranium Mine in South Australia.
Honeymoon utilizes in-situ recovery (ISR) coupled with ion exchange for uranium extraction and processing. The process is environmentally friendly and more cost efficient compared to traditional mining.
Boss is expanding its senior management team to align with its expanding presence as a global uranium producer. Justin Laird, a highly experienced financial executive, has been appointed CFO, while Robert Gordon, a respected mine production executive, has taken on the role of general manager at Honeymoon.
As of 31 March 2024, the company had AU$100 million in cash and no debt. It also holds a strategic inventory of 1.25 Mlb of U308, which has a current spot market value of AU$169 million. Boss Energy possesses multiple producing uranium mines and is strategically positioned to capitalize on the improving fundamentals of the uranium market.
Company Highlights
- Boss Energy is an Australia-based uranium producer focused on its two key projects – the 100 percent owned Honeymoon Uranium Project in South Australia and the 30 percent owned Alta Mesa Project in the US.
- In June 2024 Boss became a multi-mine uranium producer through the Honeymoon and Alta Mesa Projects.
- The Honeymoon uranium mine commenced production in April 2024, with the first sale of uranium expected in July 2024.
- Annual production at Honeymoon is forecast to reach 2.45 Mlbs of U3O8.
- The Alta Mesa uranium mine commenced production in June 2024, with first sale of uranium expected in October 2024.
- Annual production at Alta Mesa is forecast to reach 1.50 Mlbs of U3O8. Once steady-state operations are established, Boss’s 30 percent share of the production amounts to 500,000 lbs per year.
- Uranium prices have been the highest since 2008 at over US$80/lb. Prices are expected to remain strong due to the tightness of the uranium supply/demand balance. The company’s first production is timed with strong market fundamentals.
- The company has signed two sales agreements to supply 1.8 million pounds of U3O8 to leading power utilities in Europe and the US, spanning eight years from 2024 to 2032. The company plans to pursue additional agreements as the price of uranium increases.
Key Projects
Honeymoon Uranium Project
The 100 percent owned Honeymoon uranium project is situated in South Australia, approximately 80 kms northwest of the town of Broken Hill. The project is home to the historical Honeymoon uranium mine, Australia's second operating in-situ recovery uranium mine. It began production in 2011 under the previous ownership of Uranium One. Operations at Honeymoon were halted in November 2013 due to declining uranium prices. Subsequently, Boss Energy acquired the project in 2015. The company has since restarted the mine, with the first drum of uranium produced in April 2024.
Boss Energy’s enhanced feasibility study (EFS), released in June 2021, demonstrates the financial robustness of the Honeymoon mine. It indicates an 11-year mine life, a production rate of 2.45 Mlb/annum, and a pre-tax NPV of 8 percent of US$309 million at the U3O8 price of US$60/lb. The existing EFS is based on just 50 percent of the existing JORC resource, i.e. only 36 Mlbs of the total JORC Resource of 71.6 Mlbs.
Using the remaining identified JORC resource, there is considerable potential to prolong the mine's lifespan and enhance the production nameplate capacity of 2.45 Mlb per annum. Boss Energy is currently implementing strategies to boost both the production rate and the lifespan of operations at Honeymoon. This includes targeting satellite deposits such as Gould’s Dam (25 Mlb of U3O8) and Jason (11 Mlb of U3O8).
These target deposits are expected to increase the forecasted production at Honeymoon from 2.45 Mlbs per annum of U308 to over 3 Mlbs per annum.
Alta Mesa Project
The 30 percent owned Alta Mesa project is a high-grade uranium ISR project in South Texas, a prolific US district for sandstone-hosted ISR production, having historically produced ~80 Mlbs. South Texas is the most progressive permitting production jurisdiction in the United States, and the typical AISC for similar ISR projects in the region is US$30-35/lb.
Boss Energy purchased its 30 percent stake in the Alta Mesa project from enCore Energy for US$60 million in cash. enCore Energy is a reputable US uranium developer and operator with a strong track record. They successfully initiated operations at the Rosita ISR re-start project in the United States in just 20 months. Prior to this, the enCore Energy team managed the Alta Mesa project before undergoing care and maintenance.
The Alta Mesa project boasts an NI 43-101 compliant resource with 3.41 Mlbs at 0.109 percent U3O8 in the measured and indicated category, and 16.97 Mlbs at 0.120 percent U3O8 classified as inferred. The project has an annual production capacity of 1.5 Mlbs U3O8, with Boss Energy’s share at 500,000 lbs per annum. The project commissioning is on track, with the first production expected in May 2024.
