Sibanye-Stillwater sells Beatrix 4 shaft, advancing its uranium strategy

Multinational mining and metals processing group, Sibanye-Stillwater (JSE: SSW and NYSE: SBSW) has agreed to sell its Beatrix 4 shaft, which includes the Beisa uranium project, to Neo Energy Metals Plc.

Canadian Cameco: there will be no more cheap uranium

Русская версия Uranium mining in Kazakhstan — Incai Joint venture. Photo: cameco.com One of the world’s largest uranium producers does not see low uranium prices in the future. Canadian Cameco believes that the products will not fall below the prices of 2023-2024, $ 70 per pound, and may rise to $ 130.

Canadian Cameco does not see low uranium prices either in the near future or in the long term. There is not enough capacity to meet the growing demand, according to one of the world’s largest uranium producers. And the ban on the import of Russian low—enriched uranium to the United States is one of the reasons. "The question is, how easy will it be to abandon it (Russian uranium) in the period up to 2028? This causes some uncertainty in the market or, let’s say, some pause on the part of some fuel buyers. But if you step […]

Uranium – a powerful element in energy transition

Uranium – a naturally occurring radioactive element – is one of the critical ingredients in decarbonizing the energy system and providing energy security. Since 2020, uranium prices have doubled due to a concentrated and insecure supply.

Senior portfolio manager Key takeaways

Generating nuclear power does not cause carbon emissions. Combined with high capacity of nuclear power plants, it makes nuclear power a reliable and stable source of energy.

Nuclear waste remains the major environmental and safety drawback related to nuclear power. A few high-profile incidents in the history of nuclear power have led to improved safety designs in reactors. Uranium needs to be enriched to be used in nuclear power reactors. Kazakhstan is the world’s biggest producer of uranium, but nearly half of enriched uranium exports worldwide comes from Russia. Constrained and insecure supply meeting elevated clean energy and energy security demand has driven uranium prices to new highs […]
