** Jefferies says delay in final investment decision $(FID.AU)$ consideration for Tumas project increases capital expenditure and slows first production for uranium miner Deep Yellow DYL.AX
** Deep Yellow said FID consideration for its Tumas project is deferred until March 2025 due to delayed costings and quotes for equipment and construction, among other factors
** Brokerage retains "underperform" rating and stock PT of A$1
** Jefferies expects first production from Tumas at risk of slipping from the current 2026 timeline due to the FID delay
** Brokerage adds the company's cash position of A$238.4 mln ($149.36 mln) at end of December quarter is in line with its expectations, down from A$247 mln in the last quarter
** Deep Yellow up 18.7% so far this year, as of the last close
