🇨🇦 $DNN just broke ground on Wheeler River, Canada's first new uranium mine in over 20 years.
The last time this happened, YouTube didn't exist and the iPhone was still three years away 🙄
New mines take 10-15 years from discovery to production. This is what decades of chronic underinvestment look like, even in the country sitting on the richest uranium deposits on Earth.

Paladin added to ASX 100!💥
🥳Congrats to Paul and the $PDN team!
⚠️BUT: It comes with impacts... SmallCap Fundies (ex-ASX100 mandates) , and small cap ETFs MAY be forced to sell... And redeploy into other small cap #uranium names..
💡Say hello to $CXU!
Cameco is extremely pleased to play a role in supporting @Bruce_Power in the significant achievement of re-connecting Unit 3 to Ontario’s power grid. Our strategic partnership with Bruce Power ensures Cameco uranium and nuclear fuel for Unit 3 and all Bruce Power nuclear units will deliver secure, reliable, affordable, and clean energy for future generations.
Congratulations to the entire Bruce Power team for once again demonstrating the remarkable capabilities of Canada’s nuclear sector. We commend the Ontario government for investing in the province’s nuclear power expansion and continuing to be a global clean energy leader.

During WNFM last week, Jonathan Hinze, president of @UxC_Nuclear stated that based on the 'known' growth of nuclear capacity (~400GW today to ~500GW ~2032) he is concerned about the supply chain. When pressed on this, he stated that he is most concerned about "uranium." (1/x)
enCore Energy today announced the completion of the first phase of construction on the Upper Spring Creek ISR Uranium Project’s Satellite Remote Ion Exchange Plant.
“This milestone reflects the dedication and teamwork of everyone involved. The Upper Spring Creek Project strengthens the Company’s operational capabilities by providing uranium-loaded resin feed for our fully licensed Rosita Central Processing Plant (“CPP”). We look forward to continuing this momentum as we move into the operational phase, which is planned in late 2026 once final permits are received.” -- William. Sheriff, enCore’s Executive Chairman.

Uranium stocks are doing what they seem to do every summer: bleed, bore people to death, and make everyone question the thesis.
But the physical market still isn’t balanced.
Supply keeps missing, delaying, and disappointing. Future demand keeps building.
I don’t know when the market finally snaps. Nobody does.
But I know this: if supply can’t show up and nuclear demand doesn’t go away, something has to give.
And I seriously doubt the thing that gives is demand.
Urenco USA, the only US commercial uranium-enrichment company, is planning a “multi-billion-dollar” investment to boost capacity by almost 50% on expectation of surging demand for nuclear reactors https://t.co/o4jwwLjssv
Now Uranium Rips Higher
‘Uranium ripped overnight and for once the tape is telling the truth. Uranium is everywhere yet barely a fraction of it is economically mobile enough to keep a grid running in perpetuity. In a deglobalising world, that is exactly the kind of scarcity governments pay up for.
THE LEADERSHIP TELLS YOU EXACTLY WHAT KIND OF MOVE THIS WAS
Ur-Energy +22.8%, Uranium Energy +13.6%, Energy Fuels +10.9%, NexGen +8.9%, Cameco +7.1%, Denison +7.0%, IsoEnergy +6.1%, Sprott Uranium ETF (URNM) +6.9%. The Sprott physical trust was flat-to-down (-0.7%) and Kazatomprom (KAP) lagged at +1.0%. This was NOT a spot melt-up. It was the leverage and the US-supply-security end of the curve doing the work. We are active in this space.
WHY IT MOVED
Urenco unveiled a multi-billion-dollar plan to lift capacity by close to 50% at the only commercial enrichment facility in the US. Enrichment runs on processed natural uranium, so this is immediate and long-dated pull-through demand for domestic miners, landing right as the US moves to a full ban on Russian uranium imports from 1 Jan 2028. Stack on Energy Fuels' Q1 beat (revenue ~US$35.8m vs ~US$31.3m est, more than doubling YoY) and Cameco lifting its Cigar Lake stake via TEPCO's 5%, and the session had a real fundamental spine.
THE REAL TELL IS THE TERM CURVE, NOT SPOT
Spot peaked near US$94/lb in January and has drifted to ~US$84/lb May (DATA HEREand HERE).
The term price, meanwhile, has risen every single month of 2026: US$89 to US$94/lb.
Soft spot, grinding term price = utilities contracting forward into a market they know is structurally short. Section 232 already designates uranium a national security asset. Feedback we have received is the door is open to price floors even government equity in domestic producers.
THE STRUCTURAL SETUP - EVERYONE IS REACHING FOR THE SAME SHRINKING POOL
Three things are happening at once and they all point the same way:
1) Kazakhstan turning inward. Kazakhstan supplies ~40% of the world's uranium and the low-cost incumbent is becoming a less reliable supplier to the West. Its Budenovskoye JV has 100% of output committed to Russia through 2026, Kazatomprom is cutting 2026 production by ~10%, and Kazakhstan is building its own reactor fleet with Russia's Rosatom and China's CNNC.
2) India wants all of it. India's High Commissioner to Canada, Dinesh Patnaik: "we would buy as much uranium as Cameco can produce." That is already backed by a ~22 million pound, ~US$2.6bn nine-year Cameco offtake running from 2027, against a plan to lift Indian nuclear capacity roughly tenfold by 2047.
3) The US can't feed itself. America burns ~50 million pounds a year and mines barely ~2 million (4% of what it consumes) while banning Russian imports from 2028 and building out domestic enrichment via Urenco. The maths does not close without a lot more Western pounds’ #Shaw
Centrus is proud to be leading the effort to reclaim U.S. leadership in uranium enrichment. Last year, we embarked on a multi-billion-dollar expansion of our uranium enrichment capacity. Centrifuge manufacturing is underway in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and the first new centrifuges are expected to come online at our Ohio enrichment plant in 2029. Get the full scoop below:
Urenco expanding US uranium enrichment capacity nearly 50% to supply nuclear plants
Urenco said its "multi-billion dollar" expansion comes as its global order book is rising. Up to 24 cascades of centrifuges will be installed, with the initial ones starting in 2032
Massive
The American nuclear industry had been smothered by bureaucratic red tape for far too long. Thankfully, President Trump is unleashing an American Nuclear Renaissance.
"The result was the most productive year in the modern history of nuclear power..."

enCore Energy, America’s Clean Energy Company, today shared positive results from initial exploration drilling tests conducted on its Alta Mesa East property, which is immediately adjacent to the Alta Mesa wellfields and extraction operations.
These initial results have confirmed uranium mineralization extending more than 3,700 feet to the east from the nearest wellfield.
Exploratory drilling tests are designed to outline mineralization, which will guide the Company’s efforts in permitting and expanding ISR operations into Alta Mesa East from the existing Alta Mesa operations.
