New Uranium Report, Spot Shenanigans, SPUT Challenges, and a Copper Outlook
John Ciampaglia, CEO of Sprott Asset Management joined me for a conversation about the new uranium report, the uranium spot market shenanigans, the challenges and opportunities for the Sprott Physical Uranium Trust (SPUT), and an in-depth overview of the copper opportunity.
Welcome to another episode of Energy Transition Talks!
In this conversation, John Ciampaglia and I dive deep into uranium, including the new uranium report that has just been released. Despite the uranium spot trading at a discount to NAV, big developments are on the horizon, especially with China's significant moves and the upcoming ETF rebalancing.
We also discuss the recent "end of the month smash" in the spot market, the implications of Kazatomprom's production issues, and why this could be a wake-up call for utilities. But that’s not all - copper also takes center stage in this episode. We explore its increasing importance in the energy transition and its future outlook amid China’s evolving role.
The latter part of the conversation also includes CEO interviews with two copper companies—an early-stage explorer and an advanced-stage development company—featured in the CEO BBQ segment of this episode.
More specifically, this episode of Energy Transition Talks also includes:
1. CopperCorp CEO Interview with Steve Swatton (TSX-V: CPER) - #copper stock with exposure to Tasmania, Australia. This company has paid for the production of this interview.
