Developments in the uranium industry

A pound of uranium currently costs around 92 US dollars. More and more people are now predicting that the price will soon reach 100 or perhaps even 150 US dollars per pound of uranium. But even if the uranium price rises to 150 US dollars, new mines will not be able to start up any faster. The construction and planning of nuclear power plants point to a sharp rise in demand for uranium and thus higher prices. And many governments have recognized that the necessary energy mix will only work if uranium is included. The UK, for example, supports the domestic production of low-enriched uranium.

The US Department of Energy is also pouring dollars into strengthening the nuclear industry, for example to keep nuclear power plants running. Reviving a decommissioned nuclear power plant is no simple matter and it also shows the change of direction in government policy. In addition, the uranium market is predicted to have a deficit of one billion pounds by 2040. The goal of tripling global nuclear energy capacity by 2050 could even result in a uranium deficit of 2.2 billion pounds. The imbalance between uranium supply and demand is therefore likely to increase.

And so, there are several uranium companies that are holding out the prospect of restarting their uranium properties. The Langer Heinrich uranium mine in Namibia, for example, successfully restarted uranium production in March after commercial production was interrupted in 2018. Production still needs to be ramped up. Around 411 nuclear power plants are currently in operation worldwide and the number is set to rise. Nuclear power currently accounts for around nine percent of global electricity generation.

One of the well-positioned uranium companies is Premier American Uranium – https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/premier-american-uranium-inc/ – with its uranium projects in the USA, in Wyoming and in Colorado.

Those who value diversification should take a look at Uranium Royalty – https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/uranium-royalty-corp/ -, the only royalty company in the uranium sector. Royalties, streaming agreements and physical uranium are in the portfolio.
