2 ASX Stocks under Investors' Lens - GGG, NWE

 

Greenland Minerals Limited (ASX: GGG)

GGG owns uranium and rare earth mining projects in Australia. It currently develops the Kvanefjeld rare earth project located in the southwest of Greenland. GGG was ASX listed on 20th June 2006. It holds a market capitalization of AUD 112.90 million as of 6th January 2022.

Financial and Operational Updates: On 16th December 2021, the stock of GGG was put on a trading halt following the clarification on a ban of exploitation license related to the development of its Kvanefjeld project in Greenland. Under the new Greenland Parliament law, the company’s existing exploitation license would not be granted. Henceforth, it has to comply with adhering to less than 100ppm uranium threshold limit to apply for a fresh license towards the development of the Kvanefjeld project. In view of radiation hazards, the government is imposing a ban on licenses to uranium projects with over 100ppm. GGG is currently looking to negotiate with the government and appointed Clifford Chance as its legal adviser.

Under the newly appointed Managing Director Daniel Mamadou, GGG is considering new opportunities in technology metals and minerals. It had a cash balance of over A$31.6 million as of September 30, 2021, to support the growth plans. As per the quarterly cash flow report, it had nil revenues for the nine months year-to-date ending September 30, 2021 and posted operating cash outflows of A$1.50 million.

Technical Analysis: After a major crash in November 2021, GGG price are consolidating in a range between AUD 0.077 and AUD 0.088 levels. Prices recently trading near to its long term downward sloping trend line, but still there is no breakout signal yet. RSI (14-period) is hovering at ~52 level further indicating indecision in the stock. Prices are trading below to its 50-period SMA that also suggests that the prices are trading in a bearish trend. Immediate resistance levels are AUD 0.095 and AUD 0.103, while immediate support levels are AUD 0.077 and AUD 0.069.

 Considering the recent legal pronouncement on licence ban at its uranium project in Greenland and its serious implications on the strategic direction, and nil revenue-generating assets, investing in this stock at such uncertain levels should be taken with a calculated approach, hence a ‘Watch’ stance is suggested. The stock was analyzed as per the closing price of AUD 0.088 per share, up ~4.76% as of 6th January 2022.
