Stock Reviews and Rating Analysis
Bannerman Resources Limited (BMN:AU), developing uranium
assets in Namibia, has been classified as a late stage Phase I company and
rated ‘3’ on the five point PortfolioDirect rating scale
where a ‘5’ is the highest rating on the risk adjusted quality scale.
Bannerman Resources is relatively well positioned on the resource quality
rating scale with particularly strong locational attributes due to its
position in a major global uranium province. The company offers strong
leverage to an improvement in uranium market conditions with a high
likelihood of project completion adding to the value proposition. An
on-site small scale demonstration plant simulating the heap leach process
should add to confidence about the development potential and enhance the
funding capacity of the company. Uranium market conditions are dominating
the timing of the Etango development.
