Fabi Lara – Nuclear Power Fundamentals – Opportunities Abound For Investing In Uranium Stocks - Part 2
Fabi Lara, Founder and Publisher of The Next Big Rush, joins me to dig in to the major demand drivers and supply disruption news that is underpinning a longer-term bull market for nuclear power and uranium mining. We then pivot over to a comprehensive review of the opportunities in producers, developers, and explorers in the US, Canada, Africa, and Australia.
This is a longer-format discussion where we initially get into the solid fundamentals of uranium that we discussed in our last conversation (lack of supply from Niger, less supply that anticipated from Kazakhstan, Russian sanctions) having a huge demand layer put on the last few weeks as a flurry of high-profile tech companies have announced going all-in on developing more nuclear energy to fuel their energy-intensive data centers. Microsoft announced teaming up with the utility Constellation to bring 3 Mile Island back into production. Amazon is teaming up with Dominion, Google is teaming up with Kairos power, and DataBank are all considering a number of small modular reactor (SMR) builds by the end of this decade. In a sector that already has seen surging demand from all the traditional reactor builds in the East and Middle East, the push for more SMRs in the West is pushing demand up even further.
We then shift the conversation over from the growing demand to the very pertinent question of where all the new supply will come from in the uranium mining sector. It’s a very nuanced conversation about a number of different uranium stocks throughout the conversation including: Cameco (TSX: CCO; NYSE: CCJ), Kazatomprom, Orano, Paladin Energy (ASX: PDN) (OTCQX: PALAF), Fission Uranium (TSX: FCU) (OTCQX: FCUUF), Denison Mines (TSX: DML) (NYSE: DNN), enCore Energy (NASDAQ: EU) (TSX.V: EU), Energy Fuels (NYSE: UUUU) (TSX: EFR), NexGen Energy (TSX: NXE) (NYSE: NXE), Deep Yellow (ASX: DYL) (OTCQX: DYLLF), F3 Uranium (TSXV: FUU) (OTCQB: FUUFF), CanAlaska Uranium Ltd. (TSX.V: CVV) (OTCQX: CVVUF), IsoEnergy (TSX: ISO) (OTCQX: ISENF), Rush Rare Metals Corp. (CSE:RSH), Stallion Uranium Corp. (TSX-V: STUD) (OTCQB: STLNF), and Forum Energy Metals Corp.
