V-Con is Stockhead’s investing focused video conference series, bringing you expert insights, panel discussions and presentations from leading analysts, listed small caps and industry players. This latest video conference focuses on uranium.
Now is a great time to be a uranium explorer or miner, with a thinning spot market and improved demand outlook that has seen prices hit about US$32/lb.
Plus, Sprott has moved to take control of Uranium Participation Corp (OTCPK:URPTF) and seek a US listing of its units – a move which is expected to increase buying pressure in the uranium spot market.
There’s an opportunity here for ASX listed juniors to capitalise on the strengthening uranium market, backed by growing interest from investors who acknowledge that nuclear power has a large role to play in the world’s carbon neutral future.
Far East Capital analyst Warwick Grigor told Stockhead last month that nuclear power remained the most environmentally friendly source of base-load electricity available to man.
This outlook is reflected in the Biden Administration’s embrace of nuclear energy as part of its goal to achieve a net-zero carbon economy by 2050 by establishing a national strategic uranium reserve.
Speaking with a handful of listed juniors making waves in the sector, along with industry experts, we find out what’s in store for uranium.
