African uranium miner Paladin Energy has posted a $US40M after tax net loss for the Sept 2013 qtr on top of the previous qtr’s $173.3M loss.
The result was on a revenue plunge from June qtr’s $109.6M to the latest $69.4M from sales down to 1.67Mlbs from 2.32Mlbs, exacerbated by a 17% lower uranium price in the qtr. There was also a higher $12M impairment re Kayelekera mine inventory, taking the total impairment to $15.5M.
However, the company is expecting more from the current Dec qtr, predicting sales up to 2.6Mlbs.
The latest result came from on-budget combined production of 2.044Mlb U3O8 from the Langer Heinrich and Kayelekera mines, which sits nicely with combined FY14 production guidance of 8.3Mlb-8.7Mlb U3O8.
