Financial and Operational Updates: On 11th November 2021, a new anomaly of Ni-Cu-PGE was identified at Melon Patch from the recent Induced Polarisation (IP) geophysical survey. HXG entered in an earn-in proposal with South Star Metals Corp., wherein the latter gives a right of acquiring 75% interest in Ceylon Graphite Project, Alabama, USA.

As per the Quarterly Update on 29th October 2021, its sales receipts for 1QFY22 were reported as Nil and closed the quarter with a cash balance of ~AUD 3.42 million at the end of 30th September 2021 versus ~AUD 5.05 million at the end of 30th June 2021. On 19th October 2021, Mr Merrill Gray joined HXG as a Managing Director. As per the Annual Year Report released on 23rd September 2021, other income was reported as ~AUD 0.38 million in FY21 versus ~AUD 0.52 million in FY20. It reduced its Net Losses after Taxes Y-o-Y and reported as ~AUD 1.81 million in FY21 as against the net losses after tax of ~AUD 2.34 million for FY20.

Technical Analysis: HXG prices are sustaining above the horizontal trend line support level at AUD 0.088 and continuously taking support of the same on the weekly chart. Moreover, the prices are trading above the trend-following indicators 21-period SMA and 50-period SMA, which may act as a support level. The leading indicator RSI (14-period) is trading at ~50.94 level indicating bullish momentum. An important for the support levels stock is placed at AUD 0.074 while resistance level is at AUD 0.11.

Considering the recent anomalies, earn-in proposal and its current price levels, it is prudent to suggest the investors with a high-risk appetite a ‘Speculative Buy’ stance along with incorporating the support and resistance as one of the tools while analysing the investment opportunity. The stock was analysed as per the current market price of AUD 0.088 per share, as of 22nd November 2021, 11:51 AM (GMT+10), Sydney, Eastern Australia. However, the risk levels are extremely high in view of the further updates on drilling and their findings.

In FY21, it converted its Net losses after tax of ~AUD 9.32 million for FY20 to Net Profits after Tax of ~AUD 24.60 million in FY21. The main reason of improvement in profitability is tripling in its revenue from ~AUD 2.20 million in FY20 to ~AUD 7.00 million in FY21. Below are some of the updates during the recent quarter period.

  • LGP completed ~AUD 6 million WA facility property acquisition and obtained 9 licenses to supply psilocybin.

  • In the month of September 2021, LGP imported its first shipment of “Billy Buttons” THC 16 Cannabis (~50 kilograms) from the recently acquired Danish Facility.

Technical Analysis: On a weekly chart, LGP’s stock prices are consolidating below an upward sloping trend line breakout, indicating the possibility of a downside movement. The CMP is struggling to surpass its 50-period SMA and 21-period SMA, which may act as a crucial resistance zone in the short term. Moreover, the momentum oscillator RSI (14-period) is hovering around mid-point and trading at ~45.296 level, indicating the lack of strength in the prices and a directionless movement. An important support level for the stock is placed at AUD 0.600, while the key resistance is at AUD 0.750.

Considering the negative operating cash flows in 1QFY22 and decline in the cash balance, a ‘Watch’ stance is suggested while also incorporating its expected sideways movement for the short-term. The stock was analysed as per the closing price of AUD 0.665 per share, as of 22nd November 2021.
