Arafura Resources Limited (ASX: ARU)

ARU is engaged in the exploration and development of mineral properties in Australia, covering rare earth deposits, as well as tungsten, copper, and vanadium deposits. Its principal project is the Nolans project, a rare earths-phosphate-uranium-thorium deposit that supplies neodymium and praseodymium products located in Northern Territory, Australia. The company was incorporated in 1997 and is based in Perth, Australia. The market capitalization stood at $175.03 million at 0.125 per share.

Financial & Operational Highlights –   On 30th June 2021, the company released its quarterly activities report, stating the update on its project, Nolan’s ultra-lower operating cost to the US $24.76/KG NdPr oxide and achieved robust financials with NPV of $1.4 Billon which is computed on the life expectancy of the mine of 38 years. Further, the company got the support for its Nolans Project with non-binding and conditional letter of support from Export Finance Australia (EFA)  for $200 million and Northern Australia Infrastructure Facility (NAIF) for $100m with a 15-year term. On the financial front, the company did not receive any cash receipts from the customers for the past 12 months ending on 30th June 2021. The cash balance was decreased for the period ending on 30th June 2021 to $10.78 million from $12.91 million in 3Q FY21.

Technical Analysis- The stock showed a strong uptrend and printed the recent high of $0.30, only to experience a sharp sell-off from those levels. Since then the stock is in a continuous downtrend, forming lower highs and lower lows. The relative strength index at 43.766, which is in the middle range of the zone, points for directionless movement, which can eventually lead to a breakout on either side. The 21 days simple moving average is hovering close to the stock price at $0.127,    indicating a lack of trend confirmation from current levels. For the prices to prohibit from diving into the bear territory, the support of $0.1050 should be held firmly. Similarly, for the prices to regain the uptrend, a resistance of $0.16 needs to be taken off with strong volumes.

Due to the lack of operating revenues, declining cash balances, accompanied by downward stock prices, we give an 'Avoid' rating on the stock at the closing price of $0.125, down by ~3.847%, as of 9th August 2021. Below the support levels mentioned above, we consider the stock to be a risky proposition and the prices may decline further.

Technical Analysis- The stock exhibits an extremely volatile nature, forming a wide range of highs and lows, and gradually turning into a downtrend. The relative strength index at 45.997, which is in the middle range of the zone, points for directionless movement, which can eventually lead to a breakout on either side.  The 21 days simple moving average is hovering above the stock price at $0.197, indicating some more bearishness for the stock at current levels. The support for the current trend is at $0.125 and the resistance is at $0.255. Breaking either side of the range will give a clear picture of the trend formation.

 

Lack of operating revenues, declining cash balance, and stock prices heading towards the south make the stock less attractive from an investment perspective. Hence, we suggest investors to 'Avoid’ the stock at the closing price of $0.185 per share, as of 9th August 2021.
