Why Uranium? Why Now?Why Uranium? Why Now?Why Uranium? Why Now?Why Uranium? Why Now?
• Supply/demand imbalance results in higher prices
• Reactor demand growing as new plants being commissioned
• Expect uranium pricing to continue increasing in the short term
• High prices enable low grade deposits to become viable
