Opportunity from lower uranium prices
Current production is focused on meeting its Lance Projects sourced delivery commitments under existing term contracts.

Uranium is currently priced just above US$20 a pound.
Peninsula has contracted to purchase 900,000 pounds of uranium over the next three years at an average cost of US$25 per pound to meet non-Lance sourced delivery commitments under term contracts.
Peninsula currently has up to 7.7 million pounds of uranium remaining under contract for delivery to major utilities located in the United States and Europe through to 2030 at a weighted average delivery price of US$54/lb U3O8.
Projected revenue remaining under these existing long term contracts is up to US$420 million.
