5E (FEAM) Selects Fluor to Process Engineering Work on FEL-2
5E Advanced Materials, Inc. (FEAM - Free Report) has chosen Fluor Corporation (FLR - Free Report) as its engineering, procurement and construction services provider. Fluor's initial scope will be to lead FEL-2, which will directly feed into the upgrade of the company's current S-K 1300 technical document into a Pre-feasibility Study on completion.
On May 11, 2023, the company published the results of its S-K 1300 technical document for its 5E Boron Americas Complex in Fort Cady, CA. The study found measured, indicated and inferred resources of 13.97 million short tons of boric acid and 0.31 million short tons of lithium carbonate.
Per the study, in FY 2027, EBITDA is expected to reach $101.2 million, with a margin of 62.1%. Post-tax NPV is $2.4 billion with an Internal Rate of Return of 22.6%. Phase 1 aims to produce 90,000 short tons of boric acid and 1,100 short tons of lithium carbonate, with a target go-live date in the second half of 2023.
With 5E's recent successful recapitalization and the start of mining activities earlier this year, this collaboration propels 5E into the next stage of project development as the business works toward its goal of effectively constructing a large-scale Boron and Lithium enterprise.
Shares of 5E have lost 88.8% over the past year against the 17.3% rise of its industry.
