South Australian energy prospect

Leigh Creek Energy (LCK) offers investors an option over the in-situ gasification (ISG) of an underground coal resource in the state of South Australia (SA). Recent power blackouts in SA have highlighted the need for more baseload power generation capacity, while high electricity prices incentivise the monetisation of 2,964PJ of 2C ISG gas resource at the Leigh Creek Energy Project (LCEP). The development of LCEP is not without risk and uncertainty at this stage; however, if LCK is able to attract development funding and mid-stream/power infrastructure partners, LCK could be worth materially more than its A$40m market cap. Our 2C risked valuation after farm-down is A$83m (A$0.31/share) based on a subjective 20% chance of success.
