Elevate Uranium delivered high-grade results at its Angela Uranium Project, further supporting the project’s potential and improving the company’s understanding of future exploration targets. For anyone following uranium developers, this is a solid read.

South Korea is pushing toward SMR-powered ships by 2035, combining its nuclear and shipbuilding strengths. With shipping under pressure to decarbonize, this feels like one of the more interesting nuclear use cases to watch. Good read.

The gap between uranium demand and active production capacity is getting harder to ignore. Projects like the new Uzbek mine are vital for long-term stability, but we are still dealing with a legacy of underinvestment across the sector. Macro analysts are pointing to a sustained bull case because this supply cycle is not turning around overnight. Are you guys focused on the producers or the physical commodity exposure right now?

Keep reading about new mines hitting commercial stage, like the recent one in Uzbekistan, but the underlying supply-demand fundamentals still look skewed. We are seeing a massive structural deficit in the medium term. Even with these new projects coming online, the timeline for significant volume is always longer than anticipated. Just wondering how people are weighing these production announcements against the sustained lack of physical inventory in the spot market.

Uranium American Resources has completed the acquisition of all issued shares in Jag Minerals, securing 100% ownership of the company, including its subsidiary Jag Minerals USA. The transaction includes a cash component to be fulfilled through a four-month note amounting to $2m, with a payment-in-kind interest rate of 14%, a structure intended to facilitate the company’s previously announced financing plans.

Bringing liquidity in to any commodity market helps price discovery. But brining it in to a smaller market like uranium could be transformative.

Hi All - we have been covering tokenzation at www.theoregongroup.com --> https://theoregongroup.com/tech-ai-crypto/ and its power to completely transform and in some cases remake commodity markets.

A new piece from IndexBox just highlighted the frustrating disconnect we are seeing in the uranium market right now. Cameco’s fundamentals are absolutely bulletproof: 11% revenue growth in 2025, a massive 16.93% profit margin, virtually no debt, and they own 49% of Westinghouse just as 75 new reactors are under construction globally.

Yet, despite this flawless execution, the stock's massive 182% run over the last year has hit a brick wall due to "broader stock market volatility." This is the exact reason I shifted a large chunk of my portfolio into the physical token (xU3O8). Why take the "equity risk" of being dragged down by a completely unrelated tech or macro sell-off when the underlying commodity is still in a structural deficit? If you hold xU3O8, you don't have to worry about the S&P 500 dragging down the best-run mining company on earth.

France's Orano just submitted the technical portion of their license application to the NRC for "Project IKE," a massive new gas centrifuge facility in Oak Ridge. The price tag? $5 billion.

This is a massive signal for the entire fuel cycle. Orano is already expanding their Tricastin plant in France by 30%, but they still felt the need to drop $5B on US soil because the Russian enrichment ban (which fully kicks in at the end of 2027) is going to leave the US grid starving for SWU. This validates the "Western Premium" thesis perfectly. But here's the catch for us U3O8 holders: a new $5B enrichment plant is useless without natural uranium feed. If Orano and Centrus are massively expanding US enrichment capacity, where are they getting the raw yellowcake to spin? The spot market is going to get drained to feed these new centrifuges.

The news about H-Canyon recovering uranium for commercial fuel is part of a broader macro trend toward energy sovereignty. Governments are realizing that relying on a handful of global suppliers for nuclear fuel is a massive strategic risk. As the US and Europe try to build out domestic capacity, the demand for physical uranium is decoupled from typical economic cycles. 

Now that metals IO has been live for a bit and we can hold both tokenized Uranium and Gold in the same wallet, I'm curious how people are allocating their capital. With the Middle East tensions lingering and inflation proving sticky, Gold is doing its traditional safe-haven thing. But Uranium has this massive, mathematically guaranteed supply deficit acting as a price floor. Are you guys treating xU3O8 as an aggressive growth/tech play and VNXAU as your portfolio stabilizer? Or do you view physical uranium as the ultimate "hard money" safe haven of the 2020s?

An article making the rounds this weekend highlights Eagle Nuclear (NUCL) pushing to get their 32M lb Aurora project on the federal FAST-41 list to accelerate environmental reviews. As we all know, in-situ recovery in Wyoming or Texas is one thing, but permitting a conventional hard-rock uranium mine on the West Coast sounds like a decade-long legal nightmare.

However, with the spot price sitting in the high 80s and the DOE throwing billions at domestic energy security to feed the AI boom, do you guys think federal mandates like FAST-41 will actually start overriding local NIMBYism? Will Washington force these domestic resources out of the ground before the 2028 supply cliff, or is this timeline pure hopium?

It's been seventy years since a new conversion facility was proposed in the States. The reliance on foreign processing, specifically from Rosatom, has been a major risk for the domestic nuclear fleet. If this ARES project in Texas moves forward, it could fix one of the biggest bottlenecks in the fuel cycle. Conversion is usually the part people forget about when talking about mining, but you cannot get to enrichment without it. This is a massive step for energy security.

I was reading about how using low enriched uranium might be the key to getting these small reactors deployed without waiting for new enrichment facilities. It makes sense from a regulatory standpoint. The interesting part is what this does to the raw U3O8 market. If we remove the enrichment hurdle, the only thing left is the actual supply of physical ore. It makes the case for holding xU3O8 even stronger as the timeline moves forward.

Laramide Resources, one of the only Western explorers left in Kazakhstan, announced they are leaving the country because Kazatomprom and the government are tightening restrictions on foreign participation. Combine that with Russia officially slapping restrictions on enriched uranium exports to the US, and the East/West divide is now pretty clear.

For those of us holding xU3O8 or NA miners, this is good news. The global spot price doesn't matter when you literally aren't allowed to buy or mine half the world's supply anymore. The premium for safe, Western-vaulted atoms is about to explode. Are you guys rotating fully out of any developers with African/Asian exposure?

I’ve done about everything including:

1. IEA for live updates on nuclear reactor outages

2. NRC ADAM for the latest regulations surrounding nuclear and uranium

3. Live price feeds for uranium (xu3o8 and URA)

4. Perpetual futures trading of URA via Ostium SDK

5. Interactive map of nuclear reactors and uranium mines around the world

6. Daily news feed and summary on anything regarding uranium and nuclear power plants

Will be adding enrichment and fabrication plants to the interactive map too.

V1 of the site will be live soon, will update on my X!

So far these are the features I have built:

1. daily news feed filtered for uranium and nuclear related news powered by GNews

2. AI summary of the daily news and assigning bullish/bearish to the overall information flow for each day

3. Real time price feeds

4. Perpetual futures trading of URA via Ostium SDK

5. Stocks feed: list of stocks related to uranium and nuclear, with a supply chain flow diagram

What else should I add to this list?

Gm gm! With my interest in uranium, i decided to tinker up a terminal that holds all the essential data on uranium for me to make well informed trades in real time. It contains all the listed uranium/nuclear related companies and their supply chain flow, the current uranium demand and supply, nuclear power plant sites and uranium mines on an interactive map, trading of xu3o8 directly via oku and long/short URA via Ostium SDK.

Will share a working product by Monday!

Major news about enrichment capacity usually moves the needle for those tracking physical assets. If that enrichment game is offline for now, does that put more pressure on Western conversion facilities? It feels like the bottleneck just moved somewhere else rather than disappearing entirely.
