0032 GMT - Investors should pay more attention to Lotus Resources as commercial production at the Kayelekera uranium mine in Malawi nears, Ord Minnett says. The recent rally by the spot uranium price bolsters this view. Lotus is Ord Minnett's top pick among Australian uranium miners and developers. "Of the peers, the Boss Energy investment case is unclear until it completes a new study by the end of the year, while Paladin Energy has rallied strongly and its multiples now look stretched," analyst Matthew Hope says. "Lotus has remained largely overlooked but is now entering production on a derisked mine with past production." Initial production should be high cost at about US$50-60/lb in 2026, but this should fall as Lotus's acid plant starts up and grid power is connected, Ord Minnett says.
