Boss orders work programs for Honeymoon return

Uranium project could be low cost producer

 The Honeymoon period of idleness could come to an end in 2019 or 2020.

The Honeymoon period of idleness could come to an end in 2019 or 2020.

A preliminary assessment for a restart is to be completed by December, with drilling and various studies undertaken in the interim.

Honeymoon, which 80km northwest of Broken Hill, is a potential 3.2 million pound per annum operation with all-in sustaining costs pegged at US$23.90/lb and capital costs of $68 million - the latter a function of already established infrastructure at the previously short-lived operation.

The spot price of uranium is currently edging up towards $23/lb, with a long awaited renaissance for the sector seen as gathering some momentum as established producers such as Paladin close operations and power utilities move towards securing future supply.

Boss raised A$7-8 million in April when it issued new shares priced at 4c.

Shares in the company closed up 4% at 7.3c Friday, capitalising the company at $115 million.
