Tenex’s U.S. branch informed companies like Constellation Energy and Duke Energy about the possible ban, although Russia hasn’t made a final decision yet.

A U.S. bill to ban Russian uranium imports by 2028 is being debated, which could lead to a significant increase in uranium prices.

Russia is a major supplier of enriched uranium to the U.S., accounting for nearly a quarter of America’s supply last year.

Oil isn’t the only commodity at the center of tensions between the U.S. and Russia… Now Russian state-owned uranium company Tenex is telling American customers that "the Kremlin may preemptively bar exports" to the U.S. if Washington passes certain legislation that would prohibit imports beginning in 2028, Bloomberg reported on Friday . Tenex’s US branch has already alerted firms like Constellation Energy, Duke Energy, and Dominion Energy about a potential scenario, the report says, though Russia hasn’t finalized a decision.

Uranium, a critical element in the nuclear energy sector, has experienced notable market dynamics in recent years. In October 2023, the U3O8 uranium spot price reached a 12-year high of $74.48 per pound , reflecting a year-to-date increase of 54.16%. This increase is part of a broader trend in the uranium market, characterized by increased utility contracting and its resilience against macroeconomic factors. Demand Dynamics

As mentioned, the demand for uranium is increasingly driven by utility companies, which are ramping up their uranium contracting. The World Nuclear Association predicts a near doubling of global nuclear reactor requirements by 2040, indicating a sustained demand for uranium. This demand is supported by the sector’s shift away from Russian supply chains, with a growing emphasis on alternative sources and enrichment facilities. It’s also expected to sustain higher prices in the long term, with utilities estimated to require 1.5 billion pounds of cumulative […]

Alligator Energy Ltd – Alligator Energy Ltd (ASX:AGE, OTC:ALGEF) is set to make key improvements to the Samphire Uranium Project’s economics following revisions to its scoping study.

The updated scoping study promises robust project economics, low environmental impact and considerable optimisation opportunities. Robust economics

The update follows an enhanced mineral resource estimate for the Blackbush deposit reported on December 7.

CEO Greg Hall emphasised the projected financial performance for Samphire: “The updated scoping study outcomes have shown a continued improvement in Samphire Project economics as we increase resource mineralisation quality, increase production rate and refine the processing flowsheet and costs.“An improving forward price assumption is also of great benefit. As major capital items were generally sized for a higher throughput in the initial scoping study, the relatively small capital increases were offset by reduced resource drilling during project construction, resulting in only a minor capital increase for this updated scoping study.”Key […]

Similar to the early days of the lithium rally, those companies that correctly precited a commodity shortage or supply gap will be big winners no matter where the stock market ends up in 2024. Despite the sector making solid gains this year, should uranium stocks follow the same pattern as the lithium rally, 2024 could be its year.

Spot lithium had its first big up year in 2021, rallying around 90%+, but from December 2021, lithium supply gaps caused a price squeeze that topped out 300% higher during 2022 as the ASX went into a lithium frenzy.

The price of uranium has risen 60% in 2023, rising from $50 a pound to over $80 a pound, a modest gain compared to the 2021 lithium rally. Uranium is in high demand, thanks to its role in clean energy transition and with 22 nations, representing 43% of the global economy, recently committing to […]

Three business people stand on platforms in the desert and look out through telescopes. Having enjoyed an exceptionally strong run this year, ASX uranium shares are putting in a mixed performance today.

But Australia’s leading uranium stocks could be looking at some much larger hunting grounds and potentially much larger future revenues should the existing ban on uranium mining across multiple states be lifted. What’s been happening with ASX uranium shares?

ASX uranium shares have benefited from rocketing uranium prices in 2023, with yellowcake topping US$80 per pound recently, marking 15-year highs.

This comes as a growing number of nations are returning their attention to nuclear energy to provide reliable baseload energy as the world works to lower carbon emissions. That’s seen the demand for uranium outpace new supplies, driving up the price.And it’s helped ASX uranium shares return some market-smashing gains this year.Here’s how these five leading miners have […]
