  • Paladin Energy sets FY2027 Langer Heinrich uranium guidance

    A man wearing a shirt, tie and hard hat sits in an office and marks dates in his diary.

    Paladin Energy Ltd (ASX: PDN) has issued production and cost guidance for FY2027 following the successful ramp-up at its Langer Heinrich Mine, projecting uranium output of 5.1–5.6 million pounds and a cost of production between US$44 and US$48 per pound.

    What did Paladin Energy report?

    • FY2027 uranium production guidance: 5.1–5.6 million pounds (U3O8).
    • Sales volume guidance: 4.8–5.3 million pounds (U3O8).
    • Cost of production: US$44–48 per pound.
    • Capital expenditure forecast: US$29–35 million.
    • Average realised uranium price (forecast): US$51–103/lb, depending on market spot prices.

    What else do investors need to know?

    Production volumes at Langer Heinrich are expected to vary across quarters, with planned maintenance in the first half of the financial year impacting output, and stronger production anticipated in the second half as higher-grade ore is processed. Costs will trend to the upper end of guidance early in the year, mainly due to lower production rates during maintenance and the need to haul all ore from the main mine rather than nearby stockpiles.

    Paladin will continue to use uranium product loan facilities for operational flexibility. As of 30 June 2026, the company had 400,000 pounds of uranium loaned, part of which will be repaid during FY2027. Actual costs related to overburden stripping and stockpile building will be reported separately on a quarterly basis.

    What’s next for Paladin Energy?

    The company will focus on further optimising mining and processing operations throughout FY2027. Capital spending will target tailings storage, process improvement studies, infill drilling, and completing deferred capital exploration activity from FY2026. Paladin says its contract book is well positioned to capture value from a stronger uranium market, with realised prices depending on the overall spot environment.

    Management notes that guidance is based on current assumptions and may be influenced by geopolitical developments. The company intends to keep stakeholders updated as conditions evolve.

    Paladin Energy share price snapshot

    The Paladin Energy share price last traded at $8.56, which compares to its 52-week low of $6.03 and its 52-week high of $15.10.
