Uranium Week: Soft US Import Waivers

The uranium market has been pleasantly surprised by the rather soft guidance on waivers included in the legal ban to import uranium from Russia into the USA.

-US uranium import waivers more relaxed than expected
-Traders push up prices pre announcement
-Utilities move to consider longer term (post 2028) U3O8 contracts

As also reported in last week’s update, utilities and traders have been occupied with the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) waiver details for the Prohibiting Russian Uranium Imports Act which will go into effect 90 days after President Biden signed it on May 13.The Act allows for temporary waivers under specific circumstances and any waiver must be terminated by the cut-off date, January 1, 2028 with the ban in place until December 31, 2040.Industry consultant TradeTech reports the spot uranium market was noticeably active over Monday 20 May and Tuesday 21 May, with over one million pounds of […]

Aruma expands into high-demand copper, uranium

Aruma Resources (ASX:AAJ) is expanding its exploration portfolio with the addition of a copper and uranium project in the well-known Olympic Dam precinct of South Australia and two copper projects in Queensland’s fertile Mt Isa region.

The junior explorer has inked a share acquisition agreement with NHM Holdings for the Wilan Iron Oxide-Copper-Gold (IOCG) and Uranium Project in South Australia and the Bortala and Fiery Creek copper projects in Queensland.

The news edged shares up over 31% to an intra-day high of $0.025 this morning (27 May).

To settle the acquisition, Aruma will issue 26.5 million shares and 24.5 million options. The options will be exercisable at no cost to NHM once Aruma reports a drill intercept of 3m at over 600 parts per million (ppm) uranium, or at least 20m at over 0.8% copper or metals equivalent at one of the new projects.Aruma will also pay a 2% net smelter royalty […]

URNJ ETF: Aggressive Bet on Surging Uranium Prices

Uranium prices have surged over the past year, and the Sprott Junior Uranium Miners ETF ( NASDAQ:URNJ ) is an aggressive way to invest in this theme, which could still have plenty of upside ahead.

I’m bullish on URNJ based on the strong potential for higher uranium demand over the long term, its portfolio of small-cap uranium mining stocks (which stand to benefit handsomely from this increased demand), and its attractive dividend yield. Plus, sell-side analysts see significant potential upside for this $413.3 million ETF. What Is the URNJ ETF’s Strategy?

According to Sprott ETFs, URNJ invests in an index that is “designed to track the performance of mid-, small- and micro-cap companies in uranium-mining related businesses.”

Sprott explains that this is the only pure-play ETF focused on smaller uranium miners, and it selects these uranium mining stocks for their “significant revenue and asset growth.”It’s worth noting that this is […]

MegaWatt Metals Comments on US Ban of Russian Uranium Imports & Forecast of Increased Uranium Production from Canada

Imports from Moscow will cease 90 days after bill is enacted

Uranium prices held steady around increases gained during late 2023 rally

Canada major contributor to projected 11%+ growth in uranium production in 2024‎

Vancouver, British Columbia, May 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — MegaWatt Lithium and Battery Metals Corp. (CSE:MEGA) (FSE: WR20) (OTCQB: WALRF) (the " Company ", " MegaWatt Metals " or “ MegaWatt ”) provides additional commentary on America’s May 14, 2024 ban on Russian imports of enriched uranium, the primary fuel used in nuclear power plants.

3 Uranium Stocks With 39% Upside or More

The uranium industry has been on a roll lately, with stock prices surging thanks to some positive news. Major players like Cameco (CCJ) and Denison Mines (DNN) have seen their shares rally sharply after the U.S. announced plans to offer up to $3.4 billion in funding to support domestic uranium production. However, these popular uranium stocks are now trading close to their average analyst price targets, suggesting limited room for additional upside.

But for investors still looking to take part in the uranium rush, there are still some lesser-known stocks that could potentially see significant gains. The recent rally was fueled by President Biden signing a bill to ban Russian uranium imports , aiming to punish Moscow for the Ukraine invasion and further reduce reliance on Russian energy sources. The ban, set to take effect in mid-August 2024, unlocked $2.72 billion in federal funding to expand the domestic uranium industry. […]

Uranium Energy to Report Q3 Earnings: What’s in Store?

Uranium Energy (AMEX:UEC) is expected to report year-over-year improvement in both revenues and earnings in its upcoming third-quarter fiscal 2024 results.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $21 million, indicating 3.9% growth from the year-ago quarter’s actual. The consensus estimate for earnings is 1 cent per share, which indicates a solid improvement from a loss of 2 cents per share reported in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. The estimate has remained unchanged over the past 30 days. Q2 Performance

In the last reported quarter, Uranium Energy reported declines in both its top and bottom lines. Revenues were $0.12 million, which were down 100% year over year and missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Revenues only reflected toll processing services revenues as the company did not sell any of its purchased uranium inventory. Notably, sales of uranium inventory had resulted in revenues of $47.8 million in the […]

Thunderbird goes high-tech uranium hunting in Canada

Thunderbird Resources is using a high-tech SGH survey to unearth uranium at its Hidden Bay project in Canada’s Athabasca Basin. Thunderbird Resources has launched a new high-tech survey sampling program as part of the latest uranium exploration campaign at its premier Hidden Bay project in the renowned Athabasca Basin in Canada.

Taking advantage of the ideal Canadian summer conditions, the sampling program is understood to be able to detect blind uranium targets from depths of up to several hundred metres. The company says it will trial a spatiotemporal geochemical hydrocarbons (SGH) survey on several of its prime drill targets at Hidden Bay, in addition to scintillometer surveying of key areas and reconnaissance geological mapping.

The SGH survey is designed to detect subtle geochemical anomalies derived from a buried source, using near-surface samples that contain low concentration levels it can measure in as little as “parts per trillion” on elements within the […]

Morning Wrap: ASX 200 to rise, Uranium ETF hits 10-year high, Webjet reports 40% earnings surge

It was a relatively quiet end to what will go down as a very good week for Aussie investors. Look at a chart of the S&P/ASX 200 and you’ll see this week’s gain couldn’t have come at a better time, as the price of the benchmark was teetering in the wake of April’s sharp correction.

Boss Energy’s Honeymoon restart a signpost for South Australian uranium hopefuls

Sometimes success breeds success. And the achievements of one uranium miner may well pave the way for other hopefuls working in the same region.

Uranium sentiment remains positive with the energy metal trading close to $US90/lb in April thanks to expectations that long-term demand will remain strong and concern about near-term supply.

This has fuelled a flurry of activity in locations known to have uranium mineralisation, such as South Australia, which hosts nearly a quarter of the world’s uranium resources- including major deposits such as Olympic Dam – the world’s largest – Four Mile and Yarramba.

However, all this activity – be it exploration, appraisal or studies – pales in comparison to actually producing yellowcake, which is exactly the pivotal milestone that Boss Energy ( ASX:BOE ) achieved in April when it turned out the first drum of uranium from its Honeymoon project, following a successful commissioning process. For the latest mining […]

Kazatomprom uranium sales lag behind production

State-controlled Kazatomprom mines uranium in Kazakhstan both independently and through joint ventures. Credit: Kazatomprom The world’s top uranium producer, Kazatomprom (LSE: KAP), reported a 10% increase in production in its first quarter results, while sales were down by more than a half compared to last year’s first quarter.

However, group sales volumes of 7.2 million lb. U 3 O 8 were 55% lower than last year’s first quarter total of 15.8 million lb. U 3 O 8 , according to a release.

The results were generally a disappointment for BMO Capital Markets mining analyst Alexander Pearce, who said in a note on Thursday that by most measures the company’s results were below his previous estimates.Pointing out that group sales were […]
