Lotus Resources Limited (ASX: LOT, OTCQX: LTSRF) (Lotus or the Company) is pleased to advise that both acid
production and uranium processing have resumed at its Kayelekera Uranium Mine in Malawi (Kayelekera).
Processing was suspended in June 2026 following the disruption of third-party acid supply and a setback in the
commissioning of the acid plant due to the partial failure of refractory bricks within the sulphur furnace. Interim
furnace repair works are now complete and acid supply has been replenished, enabling the successful restart of
both the acid plant and processing plant.
Lotus Managing Director Greg Bittar commented: “We are very pleased to see the restart of processing and with
this, the drumming of uranium to follow shortly. Whilst production was paused, the team continued to execute
the processing optimisation plan, as well as completing critical maintenance, which will support the plant
reaching steady state levels.
The acid plant, with sufficient sulphur inventory onsite and supply visibility for the remainder of CY2026, is a key
strategic project for Kayelekera and will deliver improved acid supply security and significantly reduced reagent
costs.”
This ASX announcement was approved and authorised by the Managing Director of Lotus Resources Limited.
