I would now like to hand the conference over to Paul Hemburrow, MD and CEO. Please go ahead. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining Paladin Energy's Quarterly Conference Call. With me today is Anna Sudlow, our Chief Financial Officer, Scott Barber, our Chief Operating Officer, Alex Rybak, our Chief Commercial Officer, and Paula Raffo, Head of Investor Relations. On the call today, I'll cover a brief overview of the quarter, an update on Langer Heinrich, our FY 2026 guidance revision, and progress in Canada at Patterson Lake South, and then we'll move into Q&A after that. A couple of highlights from the quarter. Production at Langer Heinrich Mine was 1.29 million lbs for the quarter, up 5% on the prior quarter, supported by strong plant performance. Sales volume was 1.03 million lbs at an average realized price of $68.30 per pound. We increased Langer Heinrich Mine 2026 production guidance to 4.5 million-4.8 million lbs, and in Canada, we received Saskatchewan government approval of the PLS EIS. We've also continued exploration drilling focused on the Saloon East deposit. More specifically, at Langer Heinrich Mine, mining continued to ramp up with delivery and commissioning of the remaining mining fleet completed, and activity was heavily focused on the G pit. Total mined material was 6.17 million tons, up 12% from the previous quarter, and crusher throughput was 1.21 million tons at an average ore feed grade of 503 ppm. We produced 1.29 million lbs of U3O8 at an average recovery rate of 92%. Ramp-up remains on track for completion by the end of FY 2026. We're monitoring potential impacts from the events in the Middle East. Currently, inbound supplies to site and outbound shipments to customers are not impacted, and we're taking steps to maintain security of our key process inputs. On sales and cash, we sold 1.03 million lbs of U3O8 at an average realized price of $68.30 per pound. Cost of production was $40.30 per pound, benefiting from utilization of the remaining MG3 stockpile. At March 31st, we held unrestricted cash investments of $219.5 million, with an undrawn $70 million revolving credit facility. Quarterly sales revenue includes $47.3 million, with cash receipts expected during the June 2026 quarter. We made a scheduled $4 million payment on the term loan facility, reducing the balance to $36 million. On guidance, following year-to-date production of 3.6 million lbs, we revised Langer Heinrich 2026 production guidance to 4.5 million-4.8 million lbs from the 4 million-4.4 million previously announced. Sales guidance remains 38 million-42 million lbs, and cost of production remains in the same range at $44-$48 per pound, while capital and exploration expenditure guidance was revised to $15 million-$17 million from $26 million-$ 32 million. The revised guidance is based on current operating conditions and assumptions and may be impacted by disruptions arising from the current geopolitical events, which we're closely monitoring. Turning to Canada and the PLS project, we received ministerial approval for our environmental impact statement on the February 20th. It's a really important regulatory milestone and a prerequisite for further permits and licensing, leading to the construction and operating permits. On March 31st, we were advised that the Métis Nation–Saskatchewan had applied for a judicial review to challenge the decision to approve the EIS, and we'll continue to actively engage in constructive conversations with local communities and indigenous peoples. We commenced an update of the front-end engineering design study during the quarter and continue to work closely with the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission as we progress towards a license to construct. On exploration, we drilled just over 11,000 meters across the PLS project during the last quarter. We're targeting the Saloon East deposit and resource conversion extension drilling at Triple R. Assay results are still pending. Finally, at Michelin projects, there were no substantive mining exploration activities during the quarter, with prospective and target assessments continuing. We commenced the regulatory process to reduce project tenure by approximately 18% as part of the tenement rationalization program. We've been really busy delivering pounds and building momentum across the company, and I'm pleased with the progress that we're making. I'm now happy to take questions. The first question today comes from Alistair Rankin from RBC Capital Markets. Please go ahead. Good morning, Paul, Anna, Scott, Alex, and Paula, and congrats on another strong result. You seem to be making a habit of good quarterly results, so well done. Just first question is relating to your reagents. Can you just run through what your key reagents are for production, and if possible, just comment on how those contribute to the cost structure in dollars per pound? Thanks for your question, Alistair. What I might do is just sort of give you a very brief overview. We're an alkaline leach process, so we don't use a lot of sulfuric acid. Our key reagents are typically things like sodium bicarbonate, sodium carbonate, sodium hydroxide, hydrogen peroxide, a little bit of sulfuric acid, a lot of flocculants for our CCDs. Also HFO and diesel, of course. In terms of their contribution to production, we don't really go into that level of detail. What I can say right now is, at the moment, we do have between three and 10 months' supply of all of our key reagents, I think, which is a really important factor at this time, given global events. That's really helpful. Thank you. Just to follow up on the Métis Nation challenge at PLS, could you just run through how that challenge actually works, what happens now, and what you're planning for? Yeah. What you might find if you did a bit of a Google search is that this is not an infrequent occurrence. Now, there have been other mining companies and projects that have had the same sort of challenge. This is really a challenge on the Saskatchewan government's authority to provide the approval for the project. There haven't been any successful challenges to date. More importantly, we need to maintain a long-term working relationship with the Métis Nation. To date, the conversations have been really constructive, and we'll continue to work closely with them. What we're doing right now is we're really focused on the FEED work and working with CNSC to get that license to construct. At this point in time, there's nothing stopping us from continuing down that pathway towards receiving the license to construct. Okay, that's great. I'll jump back in the queue. Thanks. Thank you. The next question comes from James Bullen from Canaccord Genuity. Please go ahead. Oh, thanks, and congrats, Paladin team. Just a quick one around Orano's Desalination Plant. There's been a bit of talk about sulfur blooms and potential downtime up there. Plus, also, I think they have to do a maintenance shut normally in May. Could you just provide us with an update around water supply? Yeah. Thanks, James. This is Scott here. The desal plant is in full operation. We haven't had any major disruptions to the water year to date. There was a little bit of sulfur in the quarter, but nothing that really stopped us. Our bladders and TSFs evap ponds are all full. There was actually a little bit of rain through the quarter, and that actually topped up all of our water supplies. For us, yeah, water's not a major issue. There is a desal shutdown planned late in June, and we're just monitoring that, but we've got enough water to get through that. Great. Thank you very much. Just heading across to PLS and the mutual benefit agreements there. I think you've got two First Nations agreements done. When NexGen went through this process, it took them well over 12 months longer than the others to get an agreement with Métis. Is this a risk to your FID timing at all, getting an MBA with MN-S? Thanks, James. It's not absolutely compulsory to have a mutual benefit agreement, but of course, it's what we want to do. We would like all of the stakeholders in the region to benefit from our presence there. If it takes a bit longer, it takes a bit longer. The most important thing is the engagement and consultation process. We'll continue to engage and consult with all of the First Nations group. As you pointed out, we do have two MBAs in place with Clearwater River Dene Nation and Buffalo River. We'll continue to work on those. The other two are close. We're in negotiations right now, and we'll just keep working towards that. It's not a prerequisite for receiving our permit to construct. Great. Thanks very much, Paul and Scott. Thanks. Thank you. The next question comes from Daniel Roden from Jefferies. Please go ahead. Good day, guys. Thanks for taking my question. Yeah, congratulations on the solid quarter. Just wanted to, I guess, get a view on, I guess, Q4 run rates. I guess the run rate's a little lower than your Q3 in the implied updated guidance. Just a little bit of color around, I guess, what's going on and what's driving, I guess, the lower Q4, and then how should we think about that kind of, the run rate entering FY 2027? Thanks, Dan. As I often say, it's an outdoor sport and all sorts of things can happen. We've reset the guidance to that range of 4.5-4.8. I think it's realistic and achievable. Our current rate is. I think we're very satisfied with how it's gone. We've also moved to the back end of the G pit, and we're now moving into the next pit. There's that sort of transition process where you can typically get slightly lower grades as we move into the main ore body. We can get different ore handling characteristics. There's a few things that could happen. In the meantime, we're trying to mitigate those risks with a number of different controls. Our blending strategy for handleability, blending strategy for grade. We plan on maintaining the positive performance that we've seen in overall recovery rates. There's still a couple of months to go for this quarter, but we're very happy with progress to date. There are a few things that could happen. Yeah. Excellent. I guess just on that, when you're looking at Q4 and FY 2027, your recovery in Q3 has been, I think, well above expectations, even at a bit of a lower grade. I guess just what's your assumption that you're using for your guidance on the recovery? I guess is there a bit of upside potential there? No, we set our target range of 85%-90%. That's typically the level at which this plant can operate. I think the team at Langer Heinrich has done an exceptional job at tuning that performance throughout their consumption of G pit. I certainly don't expect that we'll stay in that range. I think, as long as we hit the target range of 85%-90%, I'll be pretty happy. In terms of FY 2027, I think we still plan to provide guidance in July. However, I must sort of caveat that now with a level of uncertainty on what's happening in the Middle East. I don't really want to provide too much of a look forward. Yep, awesome. If I could slip one last one in. You've provided a sensitivity on, I guess, realized pricing at various levels of spot pricing historically. I guess, when we're looking forward to FY 2027, 2028, et cetera, is that sensitivity analysis that you've provided, is that still a fair indication of the sensitivity you would expect on, I guess, realized pricing at different spot pricing? Or, I guess, if you're changing your contract book as that contract book matures, would you expect that sensitivity to change? Yeah. Thanks, Alex here. I think we'll provide an updated realized price sensitivity. I think generally speaking, we're very pleased with the way our book has performed this quarter and year to date. It's running pretty much bang on with that matrix that we provided, realizing just under $70 a pound for year to date at an average uranium price of $80. The next years, again, without sort of getting into the look forwards, will be provided in due course. Obviously, we've got 22 million lbs under contract, and that book has remained stable, so you don't expect to see massive shifts in that. As volumes open up, we do have more uncontracted and more market-related exposure. We expect to realize that upside there. Yep. No, perfect. Thank you very much, guys. I'll pass it on. Thanks. Thank you. The next question comes from Dim Ariyasinghe from UBS. Please go ahead. Thanks, Paul. Thanks, Tim. Just a question on the revision to CapEx expenditure. Not big numbers, but just wanted to expand on why that's been done in the context of, I guess, what's going on more broadly, please. Sorry, Dim, was that in relation to the update to the guidance? Yeah. Exactly. For the CapEx. Yeah. Look, I think, we obviously put the guidance together 12 months ago. As it has progressed, there's been reprioritization of those items, the deferral and then also the bringing forward of some other items. It's really just a shifting of CapEx. Some of that CapEx will be deferred into FY 2027. Okay, cool. Nothing too strenuous. Then I guess, there was a question on reagent use and understand you guys are alkaline leach, but do you guys have any more comments or any read-throughs more broadly? On your competitors domestically who use a lot of sulfur and then the big one. It does feel like that's. Yeah, are you hearing anything, either from your customers or the industry more broadly on sulfur shortages? No. We don't really comment on other people's. As I said earlier in the call, Dim, between three and 10 that's our area of focus right now is making sure that we have continuity and supply. We're reasonably confident, at least for the next three months. Yep, sure. Cool. Just last one. How's everything going on the diesel front? Is that similar? Or, yeah, what does that look like? About at least 80% of our diesel and HFO come from West Africa. There's very good con- Pardon me. Just confirming this speaker line is still connected? Yes. Thank you. I'll move on to the next question. It comes from Glyn Lawcock from Barrenjoey. Please go ahead. Morning, Paul. I just wanted to sort of talk a bit more about the guidance change. Obviously, you lifted production guidance by 11%, but you didn't change your cost guidance at all. If you just do the mathematics, I mean, 1.2 million lbs production in the final quarter to get to the bottom end of your cost range means costs go up to $54 a pound in the final quarter when they've averaged $40 to date. You just didn't change your cost guidance, or is there something materially gonna change in the final quarter to get there? Thanks. Glyn, there's a couple of things. One, I think as Paul mentioned, we will be mining for the final quarter. There'll be no reliance on the medium grade stockpile. We were obviously getting a benefit from that in the prior quarters. We are starting to see some cost escalation as a result of the conflict in the Middle East. I think there's some uncertainty around what that will look like. I think, we've done the analysis on the range and we're comfortable with the range we've provided at this point. Okay. It's a big number. Maybe just staying on that same tack then. If you look at the spend in the quarter then just gone, Langer Heinrich cost $52 million, the stockpile build $11 million, so $63 million plus another $7 million for stripping. If you ignore the stripping, is that meaning that $63 million steps up a fair bit from a cash perspective in the final quarter then when you just say you'll be full mining for the fleet? I think, the low grade stockpile and the stripping, I think we're saying, varies quarter to quarter. I probably won't comment on what the forecast outlook for those is. As far as the production costs, yeah, we do expect them to be higher in the next quarter. In a millions dollars perspective, higher than $52 million. Yep. Then if I could just ask on the sales as well, you've kept your sales guidance the same. If you sell what's left to sell to hit the top end of your range, selling at the price you're probably going to receive, you're still probably not going to cover all your cash outflow in the quarter. Can you sell more or are you choosing not to? I'm just trying to understand why with the increased volume you're choosing not to cover your cash, it appears, with sales. Or is it because you're waiting for higher prices or what? I'm just trying. Thanks. Glyn, I'll take this one. Our sales, as I said last quarter, we are trending towards the top end of the guidance range for our sales, all things being equal, shipping delays, et cetera. We're pretty comfortable with that range, so we've left it unchanged. Obviously, there is a delay between production and sales, so even if you're producing more, you don't necessarily able to realize those sales, in the same period. We are seeing performance at the top, towards the top end of that range. All right. Thank you. Thank you. The next question comes from Branko Skocic from JP Morgan. Please go ahead. Yeah. Morning, guys. Thanks for your time. Just first question on the finished product inventories. Can we expect a bit of an unwind strategy to progress into FY 2027? Obviously, the current number seems a little bit elevated, probably unwinds a bit in the fourth quarter, but just interested in your views over the next six to 12 months, please. Yeah. Agreed. It is a slightly elevated level. Our inventories do fluctuate from quarter to quarter. Probably on a normalized average basis, we expect about four months of production to be our normal average inventory level. This quarter, that inventory level was impacted by a shipping delay, so we had quite a large number of pounds on the water as at March 31st, so that was the primary result. Yeah, about four months of production on an average basis. Thanks. That makes sense. Final question from me was just, I guess, critical path keeping the mine fully ramped up over the next three to six months. I guess what's the focus internally and what's something we can be watching for come June, July? Yeah. In terms of the mine, getting into J-pit and developing that, we're about a bench and a half in currently and already touching ore. That's going to start making its way to the ROM. Developing that pit, which is a little bit further away from the ROM than G-pit, just optimizing the haulage, getting the equipment operating exactly as we want it to. All of the equipment is in and operating and the contractor's done a really great job in getting all the people and everything up and running. As we finish G-pit, move into J-pit, getting the blend right and just really optimizing that through the mill as we see that new ore. Really, for the mine, the equipment is on site. It's just getting it onto the ROM and seeing how it performs through the mill. All right. Appreciate that. Thank you. Thank you. The next question comes from Matthew Hope from Ord Minnett. Please go ahead. Yeah. Thanks very much. I was just wondering if you could give us a rough guide as to how much diesel makes up the cost of production. Yeah. We typically don't go into that level of detail, Matthew. Yeah. I think, Matthew, what we can say is, the mining contractor obviously has a portion of their costs related to diesel. There's a small amount of diesel used in the plant. Other than that, I'd say it's fair to say it's sub 10%, 15% of the total cost of production. Okay. With that, you don't expect a big impact from, obviously the current global diesel issues. You don't expect a huge impact on your costs? Well, I think ultimately. You provided really no guidance on what is happening due to this conflict. Yeah. Look, obviously we're monitoring that, but the ultimate impact is going to be dependent on what the price outcome is, right? I think, it's obviously not a significant costs. To the extent there is a material increase, it will have some impact. Sure. Okay. Thanks very much. Thank you. The next question comes from Surya S. from Ventum Financial. Please go ahead. Hi, team. Thanks for taking my call, and congrats on another quarter. I'll start with a question on PLS. What gives you optimism about a successful resolution of the legal issue with MN-S? Thanks for the question. I've met with all of the chiefs and councils of the four parties that we're close to. We have a really good relationship with them. I think it's really just a matter of time to continue consultation. I think that it'd be unsurprising to say that everybody in the communities in that region, I think, could have some benefit of our presence there, and that's not an unreasonable expectation. Of course, the challenge is, how do we find a resolution to this in a way that's economically sensible for us as well? We'll continue to consult with them and work through the process. We've seen other mining companies, other projects in very close proximity to us work through that process and have successful outcomes What we've also seen is the timing of delivery of an MBA is completely independent of the EIS approval process and the CNSC process. We'll just keep going as long as it takes. In the meantime, the most important thing for us right now is to consult effectively with them, but also to progress the project through the engineering works and satisfy the requirements of the CNSC. The project economics are incredibly strong. It's a great project, and we have a lot of confidence in the team's ability to work through these issues as they come up. All right. Thank you. I'll just follow up on another question that was previously asked about ramp rates. If we were to extrapolate from, let's say, production in the month of June, when hopefully the ramp-up is done, would that lead to, say, on an annual basis, 6 million lbs of production per annum? Or what would it lead to? We're not going to provide guidance into next year until we get through this year. I think there's a level of uncertainty out there now with respect to what's happening in the Middle East, of course, and I think it's a difficult time for anybody to predict how that's going to unravel. What we can say, though, is we have reset our guidance range for the remainder of this year. I think that number is challenging but achievable. What we'll do now for the remainder of the year is to continue to go through our budgeting process, assess the performance of Scott's optimization work, and then at an appropriate point in time, we'll provide guidance to give people an update on the basis of a more well-informed view of 2027. Okay. Thank you. My question was, I think, motivated by a peak production rate outlined in a life-of-mine production plan that was put out earlier. Yeah. I look forward to the actual guidance. Yeah. Thanks. I think, peak production really depends on a number of factors, and primarily it's your throughput rates through the mill, overall recovery rates, and grade. Under different price scenarios, we might choose to do something quite different. In a different year price scenario, we might do something different to what we would do in a high diesel price scenario. The plan ultimately depends on how things play out over the coming months in combination with how our performance is over that same period. It is a bit difficult to give you a more firm answer. Thank you. My final question would be maybe a possible comment from you on something that came up on Bloomberg a few days ago about the U.S. ambassador to Namibia saying that they were expecting to increase imports of uranium from Namibia to the USA. I was wondering if you've been in discussions of that nature with parties in the USA. Yeah. Yeah, look, there has been a lot of interest in Namibian supply from across the globe. We were just at the World Nuclear Fuel Cycle Conference last week. There's a lot of interest from the U.S. utilities. I think the U.S. utilities are certainly getting more urgent in their request for supply, and I think they are being prompted by the U.S. government to secure supplies and secure inventories. We've obviously had direct interactions with the representatives from U.S. embassies as well. Having said that, I guess, there isn't anything concrete at this point in time. We do see also very strong demand from other regions, specifically from China. The Chinese utilities continue to be very aggressive in their fuel purchasing, driven by their reactor build-out programs, chasing supply across the region, as evidenced by the Etango deal that CNNC is in the process of completing. We're in a very fortunate position in Namibia with that origin being highly sought after, both by the Chinese, by the U.S., as well as the European counterparties that have lost some supply from Niger. We'll aim to maximize the value of our Namibian production for the benefit of our shareholders. Thanks for that, and all the best for the fourth quarter. Thank you. At this time, we're showing no further questions. I'll hand the conference back to Paul for any closing remarks. Thank you very much. The progress across the portfolio of activities has been really positive. We continue to build momentum in both production and project progress at PLS. However, we maintain a close watch on the Middle East for any potential impact on our business over the coming months. Thank you for your questions, and thank you for your ongoing interest in Paladin, and have a good day.
