Subiaco's Bannerman Energy seals $85m placement in cash call for Namibian flagship
Bannerman Energy has secured $85 million from shareholders to raise cash to build a uranium project in Namibia that's due to start producing in 2028. The Subiaco-based explorer offered up new shares to its institutional and sophisticated investors at $3.20 apiece, 9.1 per cent cheaper than the stock had been trading at before launching the placement. Funds will go towards Bannerman's main asset, the Etango uranium project in Namibia's Erongo region, with most of the cash set aside for the future mine's earthworks and design, as well as water and power infrastructure. A final investment decision is expected on the operation by the end of the year. The explorer estimates Etango would be producing about 3.5 million pounds of uranium oxide a year once up and running. A study completed by the company this time last year estimated the project would cost about $US353.5m ($542m) to build. Executive chairman Brandon Munro said sentiment regarding uranium demand was 'improving' against the backdrop of nuclear utility activity. 'We will continue taking measured steps towards realising the company's opportunity to deliver uranium into a sector pinch-point,' he told the ASX on Thursday. A recent move by Canadian investment house Sprott to buy $US200m worth of physical uranium for a new fund gave prices a burst of life earlier this month. A pound of uranium has jumped from about $US70 ($107.4) to $US78 ($119.6) since the transaction was announced on June 13. Frenzied speculation about nuclear power's role in decarbonising had helped lift the price for a pound of uranium to peak at over $US100 in January 2024, a 15-year record. Prices stayed above about $US80 until November before cooling off. The call for cash comes about 12 months after Bannerman raised $85m from investors. The explorer has about $140m in the bank following this week's raising. Canaccord Genuity, Shaw and Partners and Jett Capital Advisors were joint lead managers and joint book runners to the placement.
