A strategic uranium reserve has no place in Joe Biden’s Build Back Better agenda.

(Corey Robinson | Tribune file photo) Protesters from White Mesa, Utah, march against the White Mesa Mill, the last conventional uranium mill still operating in the U.S. on May 14, 2017.

In late December, as Congress debated how much to spend on COVID-19 relief for Americans struggling to make ends meet, something else was flying under the radar that has serious implications for Utah’s clean water and public health.

In the same package that funded $600 stimulus checks hid a sizable handout for the uranium industry that could pad the pockets of Energy Fuels Resources, the uranium company that has already made millions by welcoming low-level radioactive waste to its White Mesa uranium mill in southeastern Utah.Congress appropriated $75 million to start a “strategic uranium reserve.” This means using your taxpayer dollars to pay uranium companies above-market […]

What happened

Shares of uranium company Denison Mines (NYSEMKT: DNN) soared a whopping 59.6% in the month of February, according to data provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence . That handily outran the Global X Uranium ETF ‘s (NYSEMKT: URA) 20.5% gain in the month, suggesting there was more to Denison’s rally than just industry-specific news. So what

Denison Mines, and several other uranium stocks , soared on the very first day of February after Bank of America speculated that global demand for uranium could be as much as 26 million pounds more if the U.S. postponed closure of its aging nuclear plants due 2021 to 2030. Nuclear reactors run on uranium fuel.

By the second week of February, Denison shares were rallying to dizzying heights backed by several developments. To start, on Feb. 8, Denison approved a $24 million budget for 2021 to resume the environmental assessment process at […]

Summary

Bannerman’s share price has recently tripled, but this is not backed by fundamental value.

The Etango flagship project has a breakeven price of $46/pound, and this excludes project financing expenses.

Bannerman could be seen as a call option on a high double-digit uranium price, but in that scenario, you may as well buy any other uranium company out there. At the current valuation, Bannerman’s market capitalization may have gotten ahead of itself, and I’m not interested in a long position at this time. Looking for a helping hand in the market? Members of European Small-Cap Ideas get exclusive ideas and guidance to navigate any climate.

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 […]

In Part 1 of our 3-part series, we examined the history and overview of a company making waves in the global uranium sector and how sentiment has pivoted driven by changes in the market and government. Because of changing sentiment in the green efficacy of nuclear power (i.e. zero CO2 emissions), in 4 to 5 years, new sources of uranium will be needed en masse. This, despite some of the big producers stating that they will not restart production until prices are higher.

This is where smaller but more efficient companies like BC-based Fission Uranium Corp. (FCU) ( TSX.FCU , OTCMKTS: FCUUF , Forum ) are filling the void. And for investors – both retail, institutional, and private equity – the sky’s the limit for this renewable energy resource.

INVESTOR ALERT: Fission may possess one of the best inferred and indicated, highest-grade, and largest near-surface uranium deposits in the world. […]

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.

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:

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, […]
