Hi Barney,
I see your point with the market cap issue. PEN has small market cap that could inflate nicely with Wyoming on line and great drill results in South Africa. I am a PEN holder however I am somewhat concerned not so much about the amount of shares currently on issue but rather the amount of options out there, 1.5 billion. This can't be healthy for the share price. You would think most of those 1.5 billion options will be exercised. So yeah we are looking at 3 billion shares on issue down the track. Market cap wise this would still look good by far compared to a Paladin. Yeah its a psychological thing, market cap is the important factor however easy to focus on the number of shares.
I guess also there is a positive to all this, at least PEN have cash to work with down the track when these options are called. I am sure there will be plenty of drilling in South Africa down the track that needs to be paid for. Hopefully it is a killer high grade low depth deposit which can be open pit mined,.
This stock outside of EXT is the only one really that looks like going into production at some stage. So many rubbish U stocks out there. I reckon PEN management see a chance to earn a fair bit of cash individually out of all this potential, I mean moving from the millionaires club some way onto the billionaires club. Gus has I think 28 million ordinary shares. If U spot price goes for another run, PEN can potentially hit a few dollars. This would make Gus a very wealthy man. Point is I think management has huge incentive to see this thing reach its full potential. All my opinion of course and perhaps somewhat hyped,
Cheers.
The stocks we favour in the current environment are the uranium exploration companies, most notably Extract Resources (EXT), Peninsula Minerals (PEN) and UraniumSA (USA).
Not sure where you people get your information from.
Options on issue 624 million
FPO Shares 1,633 million
A little read as well for you all.

Tide has turned, they have PDN as a SELL and PEN as a BUY
1,633 million - shares
624 million - Options
= 2,257 m
This does not include unlisted options
Hey look I wish there are as minimal unlisted options as possible. If Hartleys say 3 billion, then there must be more unlisted options. I hope there are less but do not think so. Has Harlteys made a mistake??? More clarification is required on this matter. I mean an extra 750 million unlisted options makes some sort of difference. I would love this stock that much more if around 2.2 billion was fully diluted. I don't think it is though.
Thankyou very much Barney that is great news. PEN is a very strong stock. 100 % ownership of Wyoming. The Wyoming operation is on its own huge. If they can get a decent grade in South Africa this company will make many people rich. They are targetting 700-1400 ppm in South Africa. In my opinion anything above 300 ppm will be great. A monster deposit in South Africa with U prices rising, Wyoming coming on line, etc... will see this stock be the next PDN. So many dud U stocks on the markets at the moment. Out of the 70 listed exploration plays or so on the ASX you would have to say EXT and PEN are the only real decent ones. Yeah people talk about BMN, grade to low. People talk about AGS, 25 % stake only. MTN to many issues permitting. PEN is the best of the lot. I have a few friends who are into U stocks and some don't even know about PEN yet??? This is one good thing about PEN if you want to take up a position now, that is, it is still an obscure stock. Not sure how though? This stock has potential to be a dollar plus in years to come without a consolidation and with 3 billion shares on issue
most companies took a hammering today. PEN holding up quite well. be interesting if good management and fundamentals can take this over priced company back up to the the previous resistance.
