EQUITY RESEARCH
COMPANY COMMENT
Overview: Anatolia Energy is a Perth based company,
relisted on the ASX Feb ’11 with a new management team
and focus on uranium. The company holds a 100% percent
interest in the advanced stage Temrezli uranium project in
an historic uranium exploration district in Turkey.
Board and Management: Members of AEK’s board and
management team have exceptional international uranium
market expertise and access. This includes Chairman Dr
Hikmet Akin, former global president and CEO of Uranerz
GmbH. Former Managing Director, Mr Jim Graham
resigned 4Q14 for health reasons.
Temrezli Project: (Uranium, Turkey) Located in the
Yozgat-Sorgun district of Central Anatolia, 200km east of
Ankara. Historic work was undertaken in the 1980s by the
Turkish government (MTA) which drilled 507 holes
(74,000m), and most of this data is now held by AEK. AEK
has completed an additional 94 holes for 13,800m. In May
2014 as part of the Updated PEA, the company announced
an upgraded JORC resource of 13.3Mlbs U3O8 grading
0.116% (MII, 200ppm cut-off, CSA Global) of which 85% is
Measured and Indicated. The resource comprises 21
stacked sandstone lenses along a ~3km strike down to
~200m depth. Lenses are 1 to 6m thick with good grade
continuity. There is potential to increase resources along
strike extensions of over 12km, with a total resource target
of 20-25Mlbs. AEK metallurgical test work suggests
uranium recovery of 85%, good leach kinetics and low
reagent consumption.
Preliminary Economic Assessment: (PEA, July 2013) by
WWC Engineering, indicates potential for an economically
robust ISR project using alkaline leach (bicarbonate and
oxygen) at Temrezli. Plant capacity 1mlbpa, LOM 10 years,
production potential 2016. Opex is US$22.30/lb (includes
US$11.29/lb for ongoing wellfield development) - the lowest
cost quartile for the sector; pre-production capex is
US$30m.
Updated PEA (WWC Engineering, May ’14): Hydrological
pump tests undertaken for the Updated PEA by
HydroSolutions has resulted in increased confidence in ISR
engineering parameters to support wider wellfield spacing
and revised opex of US$20.22/lb, down 9.3% from
US$22.30/lb in the PEA; modeled metallurgical recoveries
average 75%, considered conservative, and could exceed
80% in practice. The project is in a rural area with
excellent infrastructure, including sealed road, water,
power
(~1km),
and
towns.
No
environmental
impediments anticipated and the company indicates it
enjoys broad community support.
Hydrological test work 4Q14 confirms high production flow
rates of 48L/min represents a 26% improvement over PEA
flow rate assumptions of 38L/min. The tests were
conducted at Site B, Lens 1 which accounts for about 30%
of the project resource and is expected to be the site of
initial production. Metallurgical results 4Q14 also
demonstrated improved recoveries of 84.9%, which
compares with 75% used in the economic model. Test
results will be factored into the PFS and are expected to
drive a significant reduction in opex, including restoration
and reclamation, to ~US$15/lb or lower which compares
with US$20.22/lb used in the updated PEA. Pre-production
well field costs should also fall, however, overall capex is
anticipated to increase modestly to ~US$33-35M with
inclusion of an expanded evaporation pond and
contingency costs.
Feasibility Study and next steps: The PFS is expected
Feb ’15. The EIS will be submitted shortly thereafter with
state approvals anticipated 2H15. The project received the
key Operation Licence Oct ’13; the final operations permit
necessary for project construction is expected 2H15 at
which point AEK is expected to make a project
development decision. Financing discussions are well
advanced in conjunction with uranium forward sales;
RCR Jan 2015
announcements anticipated 1H15. It is expected the project
could carry US$30M in debt with a further US$10M equity
required for working capital
Regional Prospects: (Uranium, Turkey) AEK is targeting
high grade uranium mineralization near Temrezli. There are
two key areas of focus: Sefaatli (40km away), and Sorgun
(30km away). Sefaatli – historic MTA work intercepted
uranium mineralization over a 9km strike length. The
tenement holds an additional 18km of prospective strike
associated with the Tuglu Tepe and Deliler prospects.
Drilling 4Q14 (~5,664m) confirmed high grade uranium
mineralization including 2.5m at 0.215% U3O8 from 82m.
The deposit occurs in 5 stacked lenses, is shallow <150m
depth, high grade. The deeper mineralisation, below the
water table, may be amenable to ISR. Phase 2 drilling
anticipated March (6,000m). Resource expected 2H15.
West Sorgun – drilling confirmed new discovery reported
1Q13. Regional Exploration Target is 30-50mlbs grading
0.075-0.10% U3O8 at Temrezli, Sefaatli and West Sorgun.
Uranium Market Outlook: The uranium spot price is
US$36.75/lb (26 Jan) having rallied to a recent two year
high of US$44/lb (17 Nov '14) up 40% from 30 June low of
US$28/lb; the contract price is US$49.50/lb (31 Dec '14).
The underlying spot price rally reflects tighter market
conditions driven in part by production shutdowns and a
boost to sentiment from key approvals for Japanese reactor
restarts; and return to the spot and term market of US
utilities after a long absence. Further, uranium fund
Uranium Participation Corp raised C$57.6M Feb ’14 and
filed a prospectus Oct '14 to raise a further C$200M - a
signal of increasing investor confidence in the sector
turnaround. The U.TO share price has been a good leading
indicator of the uranium price, and while volatile, there has
been a clear uptrend since bottoming Jul '14. A price
resurgence to US$60/lb is anticipated 2H16, driven by
renewed demand from Japan and ongoing global growth in
nuclear reactor construction. Growth is especially strong in
China where installed nuclear capacity projections are 7080 GWe by 2020, and 200 GWe by 2030 which compares
with a 17 GWe capacity today (20 reactors). RCR uranium
spot price forecasts are CY14 US$33.21/lb (actual), CY15
US$39.25/lb, CY16 US$50.00/lb, long term US$55/lb (LT
contract price US$65/lb).
Valuation: RCR’s Temrezli project de-risked after tax
NPV10 is A$149M ($0.41/share; discounting US$60lb U3O8
long term (real), AUD:USD 0.90) and based on Updated
PEA (May ’14; see RCR valuation table). Discounting at
8%, after tax NPV rises to US$170M. The project
economics are increasingly robust with key engineering
parameters confirmed. NPV breakeven is estimated at
~US$30/lb. There is significant potential valuation upside
with anticipated ongoing regional exploration success.
Peer comparison valuation: based on a valuation measure
of US$10/lb attributable uranium resource (MII) from select
ISR producer peers in Wyoming, viz: TSX:URE and
TSX:URZ (see peer comparison table), AEK valuation is
A$0.40/share; or assuming US$15/lb (MI resource)
valuation rises to A$0.52/share.
Investment Comment: AEK represents one of the best
uranium investment opportunities in the sector with low
cost production visibility, increasing technical confidence
and PFS expected Feb '15. Our 12 month price target for
the company is $0.20/share. We anticipate a significant
rerating as AEK moves to production in 2016. Our 18
month price target is $0.30+/share. The company is
currently trading at ~US$2.30/lb (M+I uranium resource)
and could be re-rated to US$15/lb in line with Wyoming
based peer ISR producers over the next 2 years.
AEK’s valuation gap compared to Wyoming peers is
expected to quickly close in our view, given the high
quality of the Temrezli Project, anticipated fast track
development decision and financing (expected 2H15),
and given that Turkey is a favorable and supportive
jurisdiction for mining investment.

Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors Concerning Estimates of Measured, Indicated and Inferred
Resources: RCR publishes mineral resources based on standards recognized and required under
securities legislation where listed mining and exploration companies make their exchange filings and
uses the terms “measured", "indicated" and "inferred" mineral resources. U.S. investors are advised
that while such terms are recognized and required under foreign securities legislation, the SEC allows
disclosure only of mineral deposits that can be economically and legally extracted. United States
investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of measured, indicated or inferred resources
can be converted into reserves or economically or legally mined. We recommend that US investors
consult Securities and Exchange Commission Industry Guide 7 – “Description of Property by Issuers
Engaged or to Be Engaged in Significant Mining Operations” for further information about the use of
defined terms and the presentation of information included in this report.
