AustraliaPeninsula Energy has appointed Gary Birch, a former Heathgate Resources executive with extensive uranium industry experience, as its chief technical officer to lead the expansion of its Lance uranium project in Wyoming. Birch's background includes leading operations at South Australia's Beverley and Four Mile uranium sites, particularly in low-phase in-situ recovery (ISR) methods. Alongside Birch, Peninsula has formed a technical committee led by non-executive director Keith Bowes to oversee operational improvements and mine planning. The company has also partnered with South Australian ISR consultants Rendement to enhance technical capabilities. Peninsula revised its 2026 production guidance due to temporary operational challenges but maintains its 2027 target of 500,000 to 600,000 pounds of uranium oxide, citing ongoing improvements and learning from current operations.
