At the A$5m grant-backed PSG demonstration plant in Adelaide, site preparation is done, the main installation contract is awarded and overseas equipment passed factory testing. Construction is due to start next month, with commissioning next quarter, pending equipment arrival.
Re-release of the 25 July bulk sample announcement, with JORC Tables 1 and 2 added to support the reported grade and recovery. The results themselves are unchanged.
June quarter report recaps the Bolivar provisional approval, the accommodation site option, the bulk sample results and the completed grid upgrade, plus Marree and Bulloo Creek exploration progress. Cash was about A$105m, down from about A$107m in March. No loan or offtake news.
Processing of the roughly 730 tonne Siviour bulk sample in China is finished, giving concentrate at 96.8% carbon and 96.5% recovery, above the 95.0% and 95.5% in the feasibility study. It completes the earlier first run (97.1% C, 96.0% recovery) and feeds the PSG demonstration plant.
Renascor signed an option, exercisable within three years, to buy a site near Cleve for the Siviour accommodation facility, about 30km by road from the mine. It completes the final land requirement for the project. Price and counterparty were not disclosed; a development application is planned this quarter.
Renascor signed a farm-in with Vintage Exploration and Mining to earn up to 90% of two Marree tenements including the Mulgaria uranium and copper anomaly (2km by 1km). Drilling at Bulloo Creek awaits heritage clearance. Small exploration step beside the graphite project.
Joint Company Secretary Pierre van der Merwe resigned with immediate effect. Jon Colquhoun stays as CFO and sole Company Secretary. Administrative change.

March quarter report recaps the ECI results (plant capital up 4.7%), water treatment tests and completed grid upgrade. Long lead PSG demonstration equipment ordered, and three copper-cobalt-gold targets identified at Bulloo Creek. Cash was about A$107m. No loan or offtake news.
SA Power Networks finished and commissioned the grid upgrade, including a new 33kV transformer at Cleve substation 25km from Siviour. It should cover most of phase one power needs. Also, the final Response Document for Bolivar has been lodged, awaiting the Planning Minister.
ECI submissions from the EPC contractors raise the processing plant capital estimate 4.7% (2.8% of the $214.5m stage one total) versus the 2023 study. They lift coarse flake share from 17% to 27%, grade to 95.3% and recovery to 96.7%. Preferred contractor not yet chosen.
Half-year to 31 December 2024 shows a profit of $1.02m (2023: $0.96m) and cash of $108.2m, from $110.0m at 30 June 2024. The ECI process is described as nearing completion; the report adds no new project news.
Tests show water treatment can recycle reagents and treat process water in Renascor's HF-free purification process, which made 99.99% carbon earlier. Detailed design contracts for the PSG demonstration plant are awarded; water treatment commissioning is expected Q3 2025, full commissioning Q4 2025.
December quarter report: ECI process extended, with completion expected this quarter. Major Project Status was extended and cash was about A$108m. Bulk sample concentrate beat study targets, and Tumby Bay rare earth soil anomaly defined. No loan or offtake news.
PSG demonstration plant progresses: a 1,250m2 site is leased and the first concentrate run from the bulk sample gave 97.1% carbon at 96.0% recovery, beating study targets. The first $750,000 of grant was received. Commissioning is now expected Q3 2025, from Q2.
