Orpheus Minerals launches $6m IPO to fund domestic uranium Exploration to ASX listing

Orpheus has launched a $6 million initial public offering to kick-start exploration and provide funds for it to chase high-grade sandstone or sediment-hosted and unconformity (hard rock) deposits.

Portfolio of assets

Argonaut has compiled a portfolio of assets within Orpheus and its wholly-owned subsidiary Trachre through direct application as well as corporate transactions with tenement holders.

It includes early-stage projects at Frome/Erudina and Cummins (in South Australia) and Mount Douglas (Northern Territory) and new applications at Ranger-North East (30 kilometers from the decommissioned Ranger uranium mine), T-Bone (the broader area containing at least 13 uranium deposits and 15 occurrences) and Woolner.

The project generation initiative will focus on areas which have seen limited exploration since Australia’s uranium boom of the 1970s, with Orpheus targeting paleochannel and unconformity uranium deposits that are amenable to simple and economic extraction methods.

Orpheus said an opportunity exists to achieve “science-led exploration success” by leveraging new geophysical datasets in terrains which have lacked modern, systematic uranium exploration.

Uranium production

Last year, South Australia and the Northern Territory were responsible for the production of 4,192 tons of uranium, or approximately 8.7% of total world output.

Orpheus aims to capitalize on this success, led by an executive team with experience in the application of advanced techniques for uranium exploration and a track record of financing and developing resource projects around the world.

Underpinning the company’s strategy is a forecast increase in mid to long-term global demand for uranium in an environment where supply from stable jurisdictions (such as Australia) is currently in structural decline.

The World Nuclear Association has predicted demand will jump 27% from now until 2030 and a 38% from 2030 to 2040, with this demand expected to come mostly from the US, Europe or North Asia.

These regions use uranium in the production of zero-emissions power (meaning they do not directly output carbon dioxide during electricity production) and are considered to be viable and safe options for nuclear generation to meet increasing energy needs.

Company Profile

The company, which is a spin-out of Argonaut Resources (ASX: ARE), will also have a significant project generation budget with the aim to expand and build its pipeline.

Orpheus’ IPO will be based on the issue of a minimum 30 million shares at $0.20 each and will comprise a $3 million priority offer for Argonaut shareholders and a $3 million broker firm and general public offer. Argonaut will retain a 26.9% interest following completion of the offer. The offer is being led by Adelaide based broker Taylor Collison and Becketts Lawyers. Orpheus is expected to list on the ASX before month end using the ticker code ‘ORP’.

Home cooking helps Cobram Estate Olives (ASX: CBO) build a $700m

Cobram Estate debuted on the ASX on Wednesday in a compliance listing in which it did not raise new capital but transformed from an unlisted public company with 705 shareholders to a publicly traded company in full view of the public. In its first hour on the ASX, the firm traded between $1.82 and $1.89 a share, giving it a market capitalisation of $706 million at the low end.

The organization’s chairman and co-founder, Rob McGavin, said it was satisfying to have established a corporation worth more than $700 million, but the group is now focused on long-term strategic decisions.

With a market capitalization of $700 million, it is almost twice as valuable as department store chain Myer, a household name that has struggled to keep up with online shopping and the epidemic. Cobram Estate, Australia’s No. 1 extra virgin olive oil and a huge seller at Woolworths and Coles, and Red Island, a more value-oriented brand, are the two prominent brands.

Cobram Estate’s Total Production 

Mr McGavin said that during the epidemic, sales were boosted by frequent capital city lockdowns, which drove many households to look more thoroughly at the sources of items used in recipes. Cobram Estate employs 172 employees, each of whom received 500 free shares as part of the company’s ASX IPO. Cobram Estate grows 2.4 million olive trees on 6854 hectares of farmland in central Victoria, accounting for 71% of Australia’s total olive oil production.

A few weeks ago, stockbrokers tested the appetite of potential investors with a $2 issue price, but found little institutional interest at that level. The board of directors opted to forego any capital offering and instead pursue a compliance listing.

According to the prospectus, Cobram Estate’s revenue for the year ended June 30 is estimated to be $211 million, with a net profit of $33.6 million. Because of the unique characteristics of the olive producing sector, where trees only produce one large crop every two years, the company will need to conduct a substantial education drive for new shareholders.

The harvest in 2021, which lasted from late April to June, was one of the large crop years, implying that next year’s crop will be “light”. The harvest in 2021 was 16.05 million litres, which was 7% higher than expected.

Company Profile 

COBRAM ESTATE PTY LTD is located in DOCKLANDS, VICTORIA, Australia and is part of the Fruit and Tree Nut Farming Industry. COBRAM ESTATE PTY LTD has 120 employees at this location and generates $4.80 million in sales (USD). (Employees figure is estimated, Sales figure is modelled). There are 10 companies in the COBRAM ESTATE PTY LTD corporate family.
