Top Stories This Week: Gold Maintains Gains, Uranium Mania Still to Come

Gold stayed strong in the third week of the new year. Meanwhile, Justin Huhn of Uranium Insider shared his outlook for the uranium market in 2023, saying its "mania phase" is still ahead.

As the third week of the new year wraps up, gold’s momentum remains strong. After breaking the US$1,900 per ounce mark last week, the yellow metal has kept above that level, ending Friday (January 20) around US$1,925.

December’s producer price index (PPI) data was in the headlines this week , with a decline of 0.5 percent month-on-month and a year-on-year increase of 6.2 percent. The 0.5 percent fall was the largest since the start of the COVID-19.

The PPI looks at final demand prices across a wide variety of categories and is meant to measure inflation at the wholesale level. It’s different from the consumer price index, which measures changes in the prices consumers pay for goods […]

Western Uranium & Vanadium has its sights set on becoming a global leader in low-cost production of uranium and vanadium

viewWestern Uranium & Vanadium Corp. Nuclear energy is positioned as a key component in the worldwide push to reduce carbon emissions. Nuclear reactors, after all, generate power through heat released by fission, which is used to create steam that spins a turbine to generate electricity without the harmful emissions associated with fossil fuels.

Uranium demand to fuel the world’s nuclear reactors is expected to rise to 79,400 metric tonnes of elemental uranium (MTU) by 2030, up from 62,500 MTU in 2021, with that number anticipated to climb to 112,300 MTU in 2040, according to a report by the World Nuclear Association.

Colorado-based Western Uranium & Vanadium ( Western Uranium & Vanadium Corp. (CSE:WUC, OTCQX:WSTRF) ) is a mining company focused on low-cost, near-term production of uranium and vanadium in the western United States. The company has a large production-ready, permitted and developed high-grade uranium and vanadium resource, which includes the Sunday […]

Elevate Uranium (ASX:EL8) Is In A Good Position To Deliver On Growth Plans

Just because a business does not make any money, does not mean that the stock will go down. For example, although software-as-a-service business Salesforce.com lost money for years while it grew recurring revenue, if you held shares since 2005, you’d have done very well indeed. But while history lauds those rare successes, those that fail are often forgotten; who remembers Pets.com?

So, the natural question for Elevate Uranium ( ASX:EL8 ) shareholders is whether they should be concerned by its rate of cash burn. In this article, we define cash burn as its annual (negative) free cash flow, which is the amount of money a company spends each year to fund its growth. First, we’ll determine its cash runway by comparing its cash burn with its cash reserves. When Might Elevate Uranium Run Out Of Money?

You can calculate a company’s cash runway by dividing the amount of cash it […]

Uranium: Will Rosatom Be Sanctioned After Reports Of Supplying Military Hardware To Russia?

Rosatom, Russia’s state-owned nuclear conglomerate, has been working to supply Russia’s military with components, technology, and raw materials for missiles, according to The Washington Post. The materials were sent to weapons makers that sell to Russia’s military, and presumably some of those missiles have been deployed in Russia’s war against Ukraine.

While this news is not surprising in general terms, the key business implication is that it may prompt the U.S. to place sanctions on Rosatom. Since Rosatom exports uranium to the U.S. and the European Union (EU) for use in commercial nuclear reactors — indeed, it supplied 14% of the U.S.’s uranium needs in 2021 — major uranium buyers may be forced to purchase uranium from other sources. This in turn could put upward pressure on spot uranium prices and ultimately help small uranium miners in the U.S. and Canada.

Any sanctions that the U.S. or the EU would impose […]

I Will Live for Both of Us: A History of Colonialism, Uranium Mining, and Inuit Resistance – book review

Joan Scottie, Warren Bernauer and Jack Hicks, I Will Live for Both of Us: A History of Colonialism, Uranium Mining, and Inuit Resistance (University of Manitoba Press 2022), 264pp. The story of an Inuit woman’s organisation of opposition to colonial expropriation is an inspiring narrative of resistance, finds John Clarke

I Will Live for Both of Us depicts the colonial relationship between the Inuit people and the Canadian state and shows how the latter serves the extractive industries. The process of dispossession, however, is shown from the perspective of those who have faced it. We see the harsh measures that were imposed on the Inuit along with the manipulative methods of governments and mining companies. Sadly, we also witness the mechanisms of collaboration within the oppressed population.

At the outset, we are informed that ‘My Christian name is Joan, but Paningaya’naaq is the name I was given when I was […]

Entrepreneur says he holds the secret to Utah’s uranium renaissance

Longtime uranium entrepreneur George Glasier is back in business with a fresh proposal to develop a mine and mill in Utah’s Emery County. The projects would use new and efficient technologies for extracting ore from the ground and separating out the uranium and vanadium — systems that rely on water rather than the hazardous chemicals used in conventional processes.

But environmental activists are doubtful Glasier will secure necessary permits anytime soon, if ever.

A founder of Energy Fuels Inc., Glacier acquired some of that company’s properties to start a Canada-based company called Western Uranium & Vanadium Corp. in 2014.

In a news release issued Monday , Western unveiled its latest plans, saying it acquired land for the proposed mill with the support of state and local officials and initiated permitting processes. This mill would also be capable of processing cobalt, a critical element that is used in electric vehicles.“We’ve got probably the […]
