Peninsula Energy to restart production at Lance Projects in Wyoming in December
Peninsula Energy, along with its US subsidiary Strata Energy, has announced that its Lance Projects in Wyoming, US, are on schedule for a production restart in December 2024, despite a two-month delay in the delivery of refurbished yellowcake dryers.
The final expansion capital cost is projected at approximately $48.8m, following a cost increase of $9.5m over previous estimates.
The preconditioning operations for the Lance Projects’ Header House 11 began in early November, after a delay due to commissioning challenges with new acid storage and delivery systems.
With these issues resolved and operations at full capacity, the header house is functioning at around 67% of the design flow rate. This, coupled with flowrate variability, has led Peninsula to revise its production guidance for 2025 to roughly 600,000 pounds of Triuranium octoxide (U3O8) and to withdraw other guidance for the year.
The company claims that these delays will not affect the cumulative production estimate for 2026 and 2027.
The expansion of the Ross uranium recovery plant at Lance is progressing, with the phase two expansion set to increase production capacity and include a complete central processing plant (CPP) for dry yellowcake production.

Peninsula and its contractors, Samuel Engineering and Samuel EPC, have agreed on a fixed lump sum contract for the CPP.
Major construction has moved indoors, with the plant expected to house a 5,000-galllons-per-minute uranium recovery ion-exchange process with the capability to produce up to two million pounds of U3O8 annually.
The Ross and Kendrick areas together contain a joint ore reserves committee (JORC)-compliant resource base of 26.2 million pounds dry yellowcake (U3O8), sufficient for at least ten years of production.
Peninsula managing director and CEO Wayne Heili said: “Our teams of workers are busy across the Lance Projects preparing for the resumption of uranium production operations before the end of the year. The progress is evident on many fronts and the team is to be commended for continuing to proceed with safety at the forefront while keeping to the overall schedule.
“While some aspects of the project development are slightly lagging earlier projections, it is pleasing to know there are no indications that the impacts will extend beyond the initial ramp-up phase.”

Gaining the knowledge to become an outdoorsy type of person isn’t easy. It takes time, dedication, and the desire to sometimes get out of your comfort zone. Sure, if you grew up in the outdoors, but it’s been a while since you’ve actually been out hunting, fishing, hiking, or camping, you may be a little rusty, but you have a leg up on those who haven’t.
If you’re in Wyoming, there’s a good chance that taking advantage of the incredible outdoor activities we have available has crossed your mind, but where to start is the big question. Asking others for help is one way, but there’s sometimes an element of intimidation or embarrassment involved.
If you’re a woman looking for that help and want to avoid the intimidation, you should really check out the Wyoming Game and Fish Department’s Becoming an Outdoor Woman (BOW) workshops this summer. It’s held at the Whiskey Mountain Conservation Camp near Dubois, and everything you need to learn about the outdoors is provided, including food and lodging.
The registration deadline is March 31, meaning you have just a couple of weeks to apply for one or all of the offered workshops.
There are multiple options available depending on your level of outdoor knowledge.
Basic BOW Workshop: Introductory level camp teaching outdoor survival, basic fly fishing, backpacking, how to shoot, outdoor photography, and more. There will be two of these workshops, June 5-7 and August 7-9. $150
Fly Fishing Beyond BOW Workshop: The focus here is on fly fishing. Learn the basics and then put them to use. This workshop runs July 30 – Aug 2. $150
Backpacking Beyond BOW: This workshop is all about backpacking, hiking, cooking on the trail, adjusting to the trail, and preparing for the trip. You’ll learn how to properly pack your bag, set up camp, and then head out on an overnight trip. July 30 – Aug 2. $150
Become a BOW Instructor: Here’s where you put your years of experience to work by sharing your skills and knowledge with others, helping them learn the tricks and tips of the outdoors.
Not only will these workshops help get you started on a life in the outdoors, but you’re likely going to gain some street cred with your family when you can teach them the skills they’ll need to get out and celebrate a Wyoming lifestyle.

The snowpack in the South Laramie Range in southeast Wyoming as of Monday was at three percent of normal, according to the Cheyenne Office of the National Weather Service.
And while other mountain ranges in southeast Wyoming were not nearly that low in snowpack, they were still well below normal at last report.
The agency posted the following on its website:
February was yet another warm and dry month, continuing the pattern that has dominated our area since last fall. Mountain snowpack remains well below average in southeast Wyoming, especially in the Laramie Range where snowpack is at an all time record low. For the plains, some light snow fell last month, but it was not enough to keep from increasing seasonal snowfall deficits. Cheyenne is off to its 4th least snowy start to the season since records began in the 1880s, and Scottsbluff has received the 2nd least snow since record began in the 1890s. We are now approximately two-thirds of the way through the snow accumulation season, with a little more than one-third to go in March, April, and into early May.
But the good news is that after a wet 24 hours on Monday night/Tuesday, more snow may be headed our way on Friday.
