Ride the Uranium Bull with a Stake in Denison Mines

Ride the Uranium Bull with a Stake in Denison Mines

If you’re in the market for a pure uranium play that won’t cost you an arm and a leg, check out Canadian exploration and development company Denison Mines (NYSEAMERICAN: DNN ). It appears that DNN stock has been in breakout mode over the past several months and could be headed higher. Denison focuses on what’s known as the Athabasca Basin, a region in northern Saskatchewan and Alberta. It supplies “about 20% of the world’s uranium.”

The company is aggressively advancing its operations in this region. Moreover, uranium sector investors should appreciate Denison’s vast project portfolio, which covers some 280,000 hectares.

What makes Denison Mines relatively low-risk in the uranium-mining space? Investors have a right to know, so we’ll definitely explore that topic. First, though, we should look at the recent price action of the stock. DNN Stock at a Glance

Lotus Resources readies Malawi uranium mine restart as supply crunch looms

Lotus Resources readies Malawi uranium mine restart as supply crunch looms

Lotus Resources estimates it needs about US$50 million (A$64.3 million) to get the mothballed Kayelekera mine back into production. The rule of thumb is that mining stocks soar when the underlying commodity sees a substantial price increase.

In recent months, the silver, tin and copper stocks have behaved that way.

Most ASX uranium stocks have seen price boosts in early 2021 — but the spot price of uranium has remained weak. The first week of March saw the spot reported at US$27.30 per pound (A$35.24/lb).

The difference in the uranium stocks’ case is that investors seem to be buying into the story that there is a shortage looming just over the horizon.There seems little doubt that a substantial crunch is coming up: more nuclear reactors are being built and planned, global mining output is largely in stall mode, China and India are racing to build more nuclear power stations, while the US […]

Nuclear power proves its resilience a decade after Japanโ€™s Fukushima disaster

Nuclear power proves its resilience a decade after Japanโ€™s Fukushima disaster

In 2011, the Fukushima Daiichi power plant was the site of the worst nuclear disaster in a quarter century. TEPCO/AFP via Getty Images It has been a decade since the Japan nuclear disaster caused the energy industry to rethink the safety of the power source, but the event hasn’t led to the destruction of the market or uranium demand.

Instead, it may have highlighted the importance of nuclear-power generation in the world’s efforts to provide clean energy.

“It would be far from accurate to say that Fukushima was the death knell for the nuclear industry,” says Jonathan Hinze, president at nuclear-fuel consultancy UxC, LLC.

On March 11, 2011, Japan suffered from a 9.0-magnitude earthquake , the largest ever recorded in the country. The massive tsunamis created by the quake flooded the Fukushima Daiichi power plant and led to the worst nuclear disaster in a quarter century. “Fukushima obviously was a huge event […]
