The North Shore Global Uranium Mining ETF [URNM] could have plenty of fuel for growth in 2021 as countries go nuclear. The fund was up 24.6% year-to-date at $53.45 on 5. Furthermore, it hit an intraday high of $61.67 on 17 February.

The North Shore Global Uranium Mining ETF has kept up the positive momentum from 2020 when it soared 68.4%. Despite the number of nuclear reactor operating globally falling to a 30-year low in July last year, the fund had a strong performance.

According to the World Nuclear Industry Status Report, total operating nuclear capacity fell 2.2% year-over-year to 362 gigawatts by mid-2020. The slide was mainly because there were fewer nuclear reactors in operation, but COVID-19 production disruptions at uranium mines have also played a part.

The drop in supply has led to higher uranium prices and the spot price of the commodity climbed 20.5% in 2020, according to data […]

Uranium producer Cameco Corporation (NYSE: CCJ) stock has been breaking out through multi-year highs on the renewed interest in clean energy spurring uranium demand. Uranium is used to fuel nuclear power plants that provide 20% of the electricity and up to 55% of all clean energy in the U.S. The U.S. uranium reserves plan coupled with the Biden administration’s clean energy agenda has changed the sentiment for nuclear energy. Nuclear is clean but not renewable like solar or wind , thus require a continued source of uranium . Unlike junior and developmental companies like Energy Fuels (NASDAQ: UUUU) and Dennison Mines (NYSE: DNN) , Cameco is already processing and selling uranium, making them the real deal for investors looking for exposure in this industry. Cameco has 43 projects in the works and will implement those that enable them to capture demand and provide leverage for higher prices in 2021. […]

(Bloomberg) — Rare earth miners and uranium producers are reaping rewards from the flood of money pouring into electrification and ESG investing themes. Lithium producers have been more traditional beneficiaries of EV and the green energy push. But more recently, rare earth producers have also started to garner investors attention amid enthusiasm about electric vehicles.

Shares of MP Materials Corp., the largest U.S. based miner of rare earths, is up more than fourfold since Biden won the election four months ago, compared with an 86% gain in VanEck Vectors Rare Earth/Strategic Metals ETF.

Shares in the company, which went public via a SPAC deal in July, rose for a third day and were up 0.7% to $49.8 on Wednesday. Morgan Stanley initiated research on the stock on Tuesday, with a price target of $57.

There’s no arguing with the numbers. The past year (and then some) has seen the leading ASX uranium shares truly light up.

The Paladin Energy Ltd (ASX: PDN) share price, for example, is up 415% over the past 12 months. ASX uranium miner Deep Yellow Ltd (ASX: DYL) ’s share price is up 246% over that same time.

Things have continued apace in 2021, with Deep Yellow shares up 24% in the calendar year and Paladin shares up 54%.

That more than handily outpaces the one-year 7% gains posted by the broader All Ordinaries Index (ASX: XAO), not to mention the 0.4% loss on the All Ords so far in 2021.But the run higher for ASX uranium shares like these could only just be getting started. Why ASX uranium shares may have a bright future Australia may not opt to use uranium for its own power sources. Though Australia – both fortuitously […]

The uranium exploration and development company Denison Mines Corp ( DNN ), which is known for its Wheeler River uranium project, rallied 55.1% over the past month to close yesterday’s trading session at $1.14. The unusually cold weather in the United States this winter is driving a huge demand for electricity. This is being met in-part by nuclear power plants that require uranium to generate electricity.

Nevertheless, DNN has declined 23.2% since hitting its 52-week high of $1.81 on February 17, 2021. This can be primarily attributed to the company’s weak financials. Also, DNN’s projects are still in their early stages. Its flagship project, the Wheeler River, is still in its evaluation and environmental assessment stage.

Here are the factors that we think could influence DNN’s performance in the near term:

Selling Shares to Fund Developmental Activities DNN announced on March 3, 2021 that it had closed its private placement of […]

Employees of the Tokyo Electric Power Company stand next to a sea wall at the company’s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant which was badly damaged in the 2011 earthquake and tsunami. 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.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 […]

Uranium stocks are on the rise as demand grows with nuclear power touted as essential to meeting zero emissions goals by 2050. The uranium industry is setting up for an accelerated rise in prices with a supply deficit looming and demand growing as governments target ‘cleaner and greener’ energy sources – a sector in which nuclear power didn’t seem to be considered until now.

Nuclear power has been sidelined by governments for years, hampered by its dangerous association with the atomic bomb and radioactive disasters. However, it is recently regaining attraction for its low emissions, ability to reliably provide baseload electricity around the clock and its relatively low cost as a generation fuel.

One of the first tasks new US President Joe Biden undertook in January was the country’s reinstatement to the Paris climate agreement and while it’s not clear as yet what he’ll do to meet the pact’s emissions goals, […]

What happened

Shares of uranium miner Energy Fuels ( NYSEMKT:UUUU ) rose a quick 12% in early trading on March 2. The most likely cause for the stock price move was the company’s news release after the close on March 1 announcing that it had signed a new deal outside of the uranium space. So what

Although Energy Fuels’ core business is mining for uranium, it has been looking to expand its reach into the rare earth metals space. To that end, in November 2020 the company announced that it had produced a rare earth element carbonate concentrate from material provided by a third party. Rare earth metals are integral to modern technology like electric vehicles but most of the rare earth metals available come from China. Recently China has floated the idea that it might limit exports of rare earth metals. That’s increased the demand for alternative sources […]

Boss Energy plans on becoming one of the lowest cost uranium producers globally. With predictions of an emerging uranium shortage in the near-term, Boss Energy (ASX: BOE) is a South Australian uranium explorer ready to take full advantage of the situation with its advanced Honeymoon uranium project in South Australia.

Uranium supplies were in a deficit last year compounded by the delay of new mines due to the ongoing subdued spot price and production constraints due to COVID-19.

However, with trade tensions easing particularly between the US and China, its expected utilities will re-enter the market in 2021 in search of long-term supplies.

Although the spot price remains below US$30 per pound, analysts are predicting eroding supplies and the dry project pipeline will spur uranium prices upward again past the US$50/lb which is the estimated “magic number” to incentivise new mines.Boss is poised to take advantage of the optimistic uranium outlook, while […]

(Image via Anfield Energy Inc.) The Athabasca Basin is perhaps best known as the world’s leading source of high-grade uranium and currently supplies about 20% of the world’s uranium. It is a region in the Canadian Shield that encompasses northern Saskatchewan to Alberta across its 100,000 km2 area.

The basin is the home of both uranium producers and explorers such as Anfield Energy Inc. ( TSX-V: AEC , OTCQB: ANLDF , Forum ) .
