Tamboran heads into 2024 with a number of exciting developments on the horizon. Production testing on Shenandoah South 1H (SS-1H) is due early in the new year and we expect to see positive results given the early data
from logging indicated high porosity and gas saturation relative to offset wells and DFIT analysis demonstrated pore pressure gradients of at least 0.54 psi/ft (in-line with the most productive regions of the Marcellus Shale
in the US). A successful flow test at SS-1H will allow Tamboran to sanction a 40 MMcf/d pilot project in the region, supporting the local NT gas grid.

European Metals Holdings (EMH.ASX) – The large Cinovec Project (EMH 49%), is strategically located in the heart of the growing European EV ecosystem in the northwest of the Czech Republic. Cinovec is a large historic lithium resource, with a clean pathway to underground development, resulting in minimal surface impact or disturbance. EMH’s 51% JV partner is the national utility CEZ a subsidiary of CEZ Group, which is owned 70% by the Czech Government. The Czech auto industry is important as it makes up ~10% of local GDP. Hence a local gigafactory, in addition to three in southern Germany, would accelerate the transition to EV’s and with broader EU support underwrite Cinovec’s development.

CTQ has developed a leading proprietary assistive living technology platform
(Sofihub) with a portfolio of best-in-class solutions for the global aged care,
home care, disability care and personal security sectors. Key products
include falls detection, vital signs monitoring and medication management.

The health-tech industry enjoys significant tailwinds for assistive living
products, driven by the ageing population, rising costs and labour shortages,
technology innovation and recommendations from the Royal Commission into
Aged Care. The market is very fragmented, with no competitor offering CTQ’s
broad suite of products.

CTQ’s income stream is non-discretionary and largely funded by federal and
state governments and insurers. There is a growing recurring revenue
component built on SaaS-based subscriptions to its platform.

The company has built a significant new contract pipeline in recent quarters
and is targeting c.15,000 subscribers on its platform by Dec 2023, which
represents sufficient scale to reach profitability. Cash on hand of $3.6m (2Q
FY23) is likely sufficient to fund operations until breakeven is reached.

Sayona Mining

Sayona Mining (ASX.SYA) – Production has commenced, on time and within budget, at the North American Lithium (NAL) Project (SYA 75%) in Québec and is presently ramping towards a steady state concentrate production of 226kt/year. This is a significant achievement for the NAL JV and for Canada, as it re-joins the global Lithium Producers Club. In short, NAL is Canada’s only producing lithium project and supports its aim to be the world’s 3rd largest supplier of EV raw materials by 2027. Canada also aims to lift EV sales from ~5% of new car sales in 2021 to 20% in 2026 before expanding to 60% by 2030 and 100% by 2035. Importantly, the Government supports the development of a vertically integrated EV ecosystem, as it seeks to return to its glory days as the world’s #5 in auto manufacturing. Financial support for SYA’s expansion is expected via Government grants, guarantees and loans.

Secures binding contract with Tier-1 OEM

US based anode active project gathers momentum

Magnis Energy Technologies (MNS.ASX) – MNS is planning an anode active facility in the US and recently announced a binding, yet conditional, contract for the supply of anode active with Tesla. The contract is for a minimum 17.5kt/year with an option to purchase another 17.5t/year. Conditions precedent carry a tight development timeframe, with first production scheduled for February 2025. Site selection is underway and co-locating with an OEM on a brownfields site makes sense. Long lead items have been ordered and detailed engineering and design is expected to commence soon.

December Quarterly Report: Q2 FY2023

Looking past the rain – there’s a rainbow.

TerraCom released their operating results for the December quarter FY2023 with operating metrics being in line with our forecasts.

Unseasonal rains in both Australia and South Africa contributed to operational and logistical issues across all mines, however guidance for annual production at Blair Athol is unaffected and highlights the quality of TerraCom’s skills in operational management.

We continue to like the stable operating metrics around the company’s Australian operations and see potential for the South African operations to benefit from increased management focus given the rationalisation of operations following the closure of the Ubuntu mine.

Corporate Connects overall financials remain unchanged as does our target price of $1.35 share. We maintain our forecast for a fully franked quarterly dividend of 7.5c/share to be paid in the March and June quarters of FY2023.

Paxalisib Misses AGILE Hurdle, but Very Significant Value Remains

Investors Over-React, Smart Ones Will Profit

Kazia Therapeutics (KZA) announced yesterday morning that paxalisib did not meet the threshold to move into stage 2 of the GBM AGILE clinical trial (NCT03970447). The study was an adaptive trial designed to assess the potential of new therapeutics to treat the highly aggressive brain cancer glioblastoma (GBM) in a cost-effective manner. Demonstrating efficacy in GBM is an extremely high hurdle as shown by the fact that there is only one approved drug for the disease, temozolomide, and it is only effective in 1/3 of patients.

Given the high nature of the hurdle, in our original initiating coverage report on KZA, we only gave paxalisib a small chance of returning a positive result from the overall study. That is the nature of drug development with one group estimating only 6% to 7% of new chemical entities that commence clinical trials reach launch (Dowden & Munro (2019) Nat Rev Drug Discov). The small percentage that do make it to launch, however, more than make up for the cash spent on those that don’t.

Promising exploration and development update while SOP prices continue to rise

Two recent gravity surveys have considerably exceeded expectations and revealed potential for extensions to the existing MRE at Lake Throssell, plus a material growth opportunity at Lake Yeo. This reinforces the potential for a multi-decade, Tier-1 SOP production hub based around Lake Throssell.

TMG is currently completing work towards the PFS due early 2023, including drilling to start in Q3 2022, evaporation trials and permitting activities. Results from these programs will support the PFS and any future resource upgrade.

Benchmark SOP prices have risen to ~US$940/t due to recent geopolitical developments. The Oct 2021 Scoping Study assumed a SOP price of US$550/t and contained a sensitivity analysis showing every 10% increase in price drives a +$144m increase in the project NPV of $364m. The c.70% increase above the Scoping Study thus implies a project NPV of ~$1.4bn.
