Is Fission Uranium (TSE:FCU) A Risky Investment?

Is Fission Uranium (TSE:FCU) A Risky Investment?

Warren Buffett famously said, ‘Volatility is far from synonymous with risk.’ So it seems the smart money knows that debt – which is usually involved in bankruptcies – is a very important factor, when you assess how risky a company is. We can see that Fission Uranium Corp. ( TSE:FCU ) does use debt in its business. But is this debt a concern to shareholders? When Is Debt Dangerous?

Debt assists a business until the business has trouble paying it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. In the worst case scenario, a company can go bankrupt if it cannot pay its creditors. However, a more frequent (but still costly) occurrence is where a company must issue shares at bargain-basement prices, permanently diluting shareholders, just to shore up its balance sheet. By replacing dilution, though, debt can be an extremely good tool for businesses that need […]

As per the latest investigation conducted by the Central Ground Water Board (CGWB), groundwater in Bengaluru’s urban and rural areas is partly affected by the heavy metal uranium with a concentration of more than 30 µg/L (micrograms/litre).

The occurrence of uranium in groundwater beyond the permissible limit has also been observed in Ballari, Kalaburagi, Kolar, Mandya, Raichur and Tumkur districts in Karnataka.

For the study, 737 water samples from groundwater monitoring stations across the state were collected. The results showed the concentration of uranium ranging from 0.0 to 201.01 µg/L with an average concentration of 4.22 µg/L. The maximum value of uranium observed was 201.1 µg/L.

Out of the 737 wells, 14 wells (2%) exceeded the WHO permissible limit of 30 µg/L, which were from the districts of Bengaluru Urban, Bengaluru Rural, Kalaburagi, Mandya, Raichur, Tumkur, Ballari and Kolar. The highest value of 201.01 µg/L was recorded at Chintamani, Chintamani tehsil of […]

Uranium and gas big winners from Europe’s energy backflip

Uranium and gas big winners from Europe’s energy backflip

A sea change is underway in the energy sector as some commodities previously consigned to the investment sin bin are reclassified. Uranium and natural gas are coming in from the cold with potentially profound implications for investors.

Despite being two of the most efficient sources of relatively low pollution energy, both uranium and gas have been treated as enemies of the environment – putting them off limits to some fund managers.

The reality of energy-starved Europe, and power-hungry Asia, is changing that narrative and turning assets recently seen as unsuitable in an ethically-focused portfolio into desirable investments.

This is thanks largely to a clerical adjustment in defining what’s “good” energy.Technically what’s happened is that the European Union (EU) has turned to the obscure world of “taxonomy”, the business (or science) of naming and classifying things into groups with common roots.Until recently uranium and gas were lumped into a set which included oil […]

The “death map” tells the story of decades of sickness in the small northwest New Mexico communities of Murray Acres and Broadview Acres. Turquoise arrows point to homes where residents had thyroid disease, dark blue arrows mark cases of breast cancer, and yellow arrows mean cancer claimed a life.

Neighbors built the map a decade ago after watching relatives and friends fall ill and die. Dominating the top right corner of the map, less than half a mile from the cluster of colorful arrows, sits what residents believe is the cause of their sickness: 22.2 million tons of uranium waste left over from milling ore to supply power plants and nuclear bombs.

Power Metal Unchanged On Uranium Update – What Will It Take To Move It?

Key points:

Power Metals Resources updates on the uranium portfolio

POW shares seem to do nothing in response

Why is this, why doesn’t news move the share price? Power Metal Resources (LON: POW) shares are unchanged on an update on the uranium exploration portfolio which does lead to the question – what will it take to move POW substantially? For we’ve clearly got increasing interest in nuclear power, in sourcing from North America and a rising uranium price. Why is this not being reflected in the share price of a would be uranium miner?There are a couple of answers to this both of which weigh down on the Power Metal share price . There’s also a third which is of lesser influence but must still be thought about. That third is just that there are many people out there looking for uranium. There are many places […]

Vanadium and Rare Earth Element (RRE) sales are modest but poised to expand. The company sold 575,000 lbs. of vanadium, almost twice our forecast at an average price of $13.44/lb. Pricing has dropped so the company has discontinued sales. UUUU sold 205 tonnes of RRE, in line with expectations and pricing. Energy Fuels continues to make strides towards assuring RRE supply and developing circuits to separate heavy and light RRE at its White Mesa […]
