Boss Energy (ASX: BOE) managing director and chief executive officer Duncan Craib joins Small Caps to discuss the company’s dramatic growth surge with project success in Australia and the US.
Closer to home, Boss’ Honeymoon uranium project in South Australia continues to ramp up its production numbers towards nameplate capacity.
In 2011 Honeymoon became Australia's second operating in-situ recovery uranium mine and earlier this year and it became the nation’s newest uranium producer when Boss leveraged the significant high-quality infrastructure to re-start the valuable asset.
The project’s key metrics continue to be in line with Boss’ targets and the mine is on track to meet the company’s FY25 production guidance.
In the US, Boss is also seeing strong progress at its 30%-owned Alta Mesa project in South Texas.
The recent start-up of production at Alta Mesa is driving ongoing growth and increasing cashflow.
With both projects ramping up production at a time when uranium prices remain strong, Boss is ideally placed to capitalise on the positive outlook for the nuclear sector.

BPH Energy (ASX: BPH) managing director David Breeze joins Small Caps to discuss the continuing delays impacting the proposed testing of the PEP 11 oil and gas exploration licence off the coast of New South Wales.
At a time when the Federal government and east coast gas users are crying out for more supplies, BPH and its investee company Advent Energy keep on running into roadblocks in their plans to drill a well on a large gas target in PEP 11.
The recent NSW government move to bring in a Bill to potentially ban oil and gas activities in the waters off its coastline is the latest frustration for those looking to find gas reserves that can help overcome energy issues that have been forecast to potentially lead to major blackouts in New South Wales and Victoria.
A recent report by the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) found Victorian gas production capacity has decreased, which means there will be an increasing amount of winter gas supply required from Queensland.
AEMO’s recent Victorian Gas Planning Report update indicated this will continue, with the planned closure of Longford’s gas plant 1 starting in July 2024 and Gas Plant 3 later in the decade.
To try and overcome the NSW and Victorian government's anti-gas stance, the Federal government has continually had to rely on Queensland’s LNG producers to carry the load.
A commercial discovery in PEP 11 could potentially be a game-changer for the east coast.
