18 Jan 2017security holder rights change● NeutralMajor
Strategic review completed with a growth plan; board proposes a 1-for-20 share consolidation, subject to a shareholder vote. Company says shares rose about 600% from 0.04c to about 2.5c, a market cap near A$64M. Plan details not given.
Director Mervyn Greene will act as board nominee for a new substantial holder, described only as a sophisticated private investor. This follows Paladin's exit. Holder's identity and stake not stated.
Paladin sold its entire Deep Yellow shareholding at A$0.01 per share, receiving about A$2.6M. Paladin had been a 14.8% holder. The buyer is not named here; a new substantial holder is implied.
AGM presentation by Borshoff: 2,476M shares, market cap about A$27M at 1.1c, net cash about A$2.8M. Plans grade-confirmation drilling from Jan–Mar 2017 and 8,000m main drilling Apr–Jun 2017, with new Tumas resource estimates. Largely a plan restating known direction.
All AGM resolutions passed on a show of hands. Remuneration report support was strong enough that the spill resolution was withdrawn, removing the second-strike risk. Borshoff and Reid are elected to the board.
Notice of AGM for 30 November 2016. Shareholders vote on the remuneration report, re-election of Brunovs, election of Borshoff and Reid, and director fee share grants. Routine meeting notice.
28 Oct 2016capital raising announcement▲ GoodMajor
The Sprott placement completed: 321.6M shares issued at 0.44c for A$1.415M, making ECP the largest shareholder. Justin Reid, a former Paladin executive, joins the board as Sprott's nominee. Top-up right still needs an ASX waiver.
What it means for a shareholder
322m new shares at $0.0044 to raise about $1.4m. Shares on issue before the raise aren't in the record, so the dilution can't be worked out.
25M unvested performance rights held by the departed managing director lapsed under their terms. 10M of his rights remain at board discretion, leaving 24.185M rights on issue. Small clean-up following the leadership change.
September quarter report restates the Borshoff appointment, the Sprott A$1.42M placement and the 13.4Mlb Tumas resource. New: the Namibian Minister of Mines promised to expedite renewal of Nova EPLs 3668 and 3670. Mostly repeats known facts.
Company answers ASX's 19 October query on its share price and volume rise: it held unannounced information, the new MD and Sprott raising, which it has now released. It confirms compliance with Listing Rule 3.1. Resolves the earlier suspension.
Re-release of the 12 October Tumas resource with a required summary of material information added. The estimate is unchanged at 16.6Mt at 366ppm for 13.4Mlb U3O8. Compliance amendment, no new result.
24 Oct 2016director officer appointment▲ GoodMajor

Funds support a strategic review of the uranium sector.
ASX lifts the suspension of Deep Yellow shares immediately, following the release of the capital raising and new managing director announcement. Administrative notice with no new business information.

Tumas resource upgraded to JORC 2012: 16.6Mt at 366ppm for 13.4Mlb U3O8, up 12% from 11.9Mlb, mostly from a higher density assumption. 62% is now Measured. Zone 3 exploration target could more than double it; resolves the pending update.
Proactive Investors presentation: 2,144M shares, market cap about A$10.7M at 0.5c, net cash about A$2.0M. Pitches Tumas as a fast-track project, noting the licence agreement and an imminent resource update. Mostly repeats known facts.

Deep Yellow signed a binding Technology Licence Agreement with Marenica for U-pgrade at Tumas, sharing project value 75/25 (DYL/MEY). Deep Yellow funds all development costs. This resolves the pending commercialisation talks; a fast-track feasibility study and resource drilling are being planned.
Marenica's release of the binding Technology Licence Agreement with Deep Yellow for U-pgrade at Tumas. Licence fee equates to about 25% of project value, sliding with uranium price (US$2.60/lb at US$60/lb, capped at US$4.80/lb). Resolves the pending commercialisation talks.
2016 annual report: Tumas testwork completed, with interim results of up to 98% mass rejection and over 82% uranium recovery. Strategy is to make Tumas Namibia's next uranium mine within three to four years. Repeats known facts from earlier releases.
June quarter: cash and liquid assets $1.6m, excluding the $752,600 SPP raised after quarter end. Tumas testwork completed; final report due in August. Mining licence applications for INCA and Tubas Red Sands were declined, which the company says has no real impact.
6 July 2016capital raising announcement● NeutralMajor
The Share Purchase Plan closed with 188.15M shares issued at 0.4c, raising $752,600, short of the $1m target. Funds go to further Tumas testwork; shares on issue rise to 2,135,927,004.
What it means for a shareholder
188m new shares at $0.004 to raise about $752,600. Shares on issue before the raise aren't in the record, so the dilution can't be worked out.
Tumas U-pgrade testwork completed on schedule; final report due by end July. Results indicate up to 98% mass rejection and over 82% uranium recovery, implying a concentrate above 13,000ppm. No new numbers beyond the interim results; the final report is the next step.
Share Purchase Plan closing date extended to 1 July 2016 because some shareholders had not received documents or had mail delays. Price stays 0.4c; new shares are due to be issued 6 July. Timing change only.
Marenica's matching release repeats the 31 May Tumas interim figures: up to 98% mass rejected, over 82% uranium retained, concentrate above 13,000ppm. Final detailed announcement expected June 2016. Duplicates the Deep Yellow release.
31 May 2016capital raising announcement● NeutralMajor
Share Purchase Plan at 0.4c per share, a 20% discount, up to $15,000 per holder, aiming for up to $1m via 250M shares. Funds go to more Tumas testwork and working capital. Cash was $2.3m at March quarter end.
Further interim Tumas results: up to 98% of mass rejected while keeping over 82% of uranium, from 368ppm ore to a concentrate above 13,000ppm. Over 95% of carbonate removed. Still interim; testwork continues and the strategy remains conditional on final success.
Marenica's own release repeats the Tumas interim results: concentrate above 13,000ppm U3O8, testwork on schedule and budget, finishing end June. Says results will feed talks on a commercialisation agreement with Deep Yellow. Duplicates DYL's announcement of the same day.
Interim Tumas testwork with Marenica's U-pgrade process: gravity concentrate above 13,000ppm U3O8, with de-slime and carbonate removal exceeding expectations. Testwork due end June, report by end July. Early results only, but encouraging for the intermediate-product strategy.
