Leigh Creek Energy - First gas at LCEP pre-commercial demonstration

Leigh Creek Energy (LCK) has announced first syngas at the Leigh Creek Energy Project (LCEP) pre-commercial demonstration (PCD). Successful gas flows provide initial validation of LCK’s in-situ coal gasification (ISG) process and the ability to operate in a safe manner while abiding by local environmental legislation. We expect to further de-risk our A$0.34/share valuation (down from A$0.38 after incorporating recent equity placings) on delivery of sustained flow rates over the 60- to 90-day ope

Leigh Creek Energy - Environmental approvals de-risk LCEP

South Australian energy prospect

Leigh Creek Energy (LCK) offers investors an option over the in-situ gasification (ISG) of an underground coal resource in the state of South Australia (SA). Recent power blackouts in SA have highlighted the need for more baseload power generation capacity, while high electricity prices incentivise the monetisation of 2,964PJ of 2C ISG gas resource at the Leigh Creek Energy Project (LCEP). The development of LCEP is not without risk and uncertainty at this stage; however, if LCK is able to attra

WH Ireland: Pantheon Resources (PANR) - Spudding of Alkaid #2 Well

Pantheon Resources announced that it has commenced drilling operations for the Alkaid#2 well. WHI View: We are most excited about the Alkaid #2 well because its intention, amongst other things, is to i) test the depth of the Alkaid structure, which we believe is likely to increase the known scale of the resource, and ii) to production test a horizontal, multi-stage fractured well drilled into the formation – the first of its kind drilled by Pantheon in Alaska.

Sylvania Platinum - Excellent Q4 production but lower PGM basket

Sylvania Platinum is a safe, low-cost surface platinum group metals (PGM) dump re-treatment company operating in South Africa (SA). Its low-cost operations met production challenges in the first three quarters of FY22, but in Q4 recorded near-record production. However, PGM basket price pressures due to global recessionary concerns, and a modest tick-up in cost inflation, have resulted in a 12.5% reduction in our FY22 EPS forecast. Sylvania is still operating at a healthy margin of 41% on our FY
