Uranium Miners Hitting a Major Bottom: Nuclear Set To Rebound In 2013

Uranium Miners Hitting a Major Bottom: Nuclear Set To Rebound In 2013
Another great example, according to Handwerger, is Bill Gates’ position as one of the primary investors in TerraPower, a nuclear reactor design company. “Gates has invested tens of millions of dollars. To me, that’s a testament that forward-looking people know that when it comes to power, you need a mix. And that mix has to include nuclear,” he said.

Uranium Miners Breakout: Competition May Arise For Near-Term U.S. Producers

Uranium Miners Breakout: Competition May Arise For Near-Term U.S. Producers
Finally, the fine hand of Iran is adding to the possibility that the price of oil may be used as a counter stratagem to destabilize the entire Middle East cauldron, as the Arab Spring morphs into the Islamist Winter. We note the recent attacks on our U.S. embassies in Cairo and Benghazi, on the anniversary of 9/11, which resulted in the death of Americans, a U.S. Ambassador and the tearing down of the U.S. flags which were replaced with Al Qaeda emblems. Should this continue to occur across the Middle East then there may well be a spike in all forms of energy, especially uranium which is selling at a fraction from its peak in 2007. If Iran mounts a Middle East counter-offensive and possibly chokes off the Straits of Hormuz, perdition may break loose as all commodities may spike putting urgent strains on an already weak Western economy. This may be the reason why Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are going full speed ahead in constructing nuclear reactors to counteract the inaction of the world which is allowing Iran to move full speed ahead.

Buy Undervalued Uranium Miners Before Market Awakens To New Nuclear Reality

Buy Undervalued Uranium Miners Before Market Awakens To New Nuclear Reality
Pundits may have closed the book on the so-called nuclear renaissance, but the story is far from over. In this exclusive interview with The Energy Report, Gold Stock Trades Editor Jeb Handwerger names the "sleeping beauties" quietly proving their worth. A new generation of nuclear energy must be part of a diversified happy ending, Handwerger says, but by that time, merger and acquisition activity may have already rewarded the investors who believed in a brighter future.

Europe Desperately Needs This Junior Uranium Miner To Come Into Production

Europe Desperately Needs This Junior Uranium Miner To Come Into Production
A recently completed Pre-Feasibility Study by Tetra Tech Consultants of Golden, CO demonstrates that this project could be one of the lowest cost producing uranium mines in the entire world, especially on the European continent which is hungry for product. Europe has only one currently operating uranium mine in the Czech Republic. There are 160 reactors with more under construction requiring an additional indigenous source of uranium. This uranium asset may provide a timely solution.

Cameco Looking To Acquire Undervalued Uranium Miners

Cameco Looking To Acquire Undervalued Uranium Miners
We believe major sovereign funds and miners will continue to make strategic investments in this beaten down sector. Cameco already had sufficient cash to operate and this raise may indicate that they are ready to make major moves. Cameco’s CEO Tim Gitzel recently said, We are making deals and we continue to scour the world and if we see something that fits for us, we’ll move very quickly.”

Why Canada’s Athabasca Basin Uranium Explorers May Soar On Foreign Investment?

Why Canada’s Athabasca Basin Uranium Explorers May Soar On Foreign Investment?
Canadian producers can now compete with Kazakhstan, Australia and Russia to sell uranium to China. Canada produces about 20% of the world’s uranium and exports over 80% of annual production. The fast growing nuclear industry has never been open to China and will create a boom in the Athabasca Basin for uranium explorers. This deal will allow Cameco, the largest publicly traded uranium company to deliver 52 million pounds of uranium to China by 2025. The contract is worth about $2.5 billion in sales. China is hungry for nuclear with dozens of reactors planning to be built over the next 10-15 years. Relating to financing and corporate development, Athabasca Uranium recently announced the appointment of Kim Goheen to its Professional and Technical Advisory Committee. Mr. Goheen recently retired from Cameco, the largest publicly traded uranium producer as Chief Financial Officer, where he played a pivotal role in Cameco's growth.

The Spark To Invoke The Spike In These Mining Sectors

The Spark To Invoke The Spike In These Mining Sectors
Gold and Silver is undergoing a retrenchment which some observers consider a bearish signal, but we consider a secondary buying opportunity. Notice in 2011, that base metals involved in industry were grossly underperforming gold. Should a spike occur in the Middle East all of these boats might rise in a tidal like move especially critical energy metals such as uranium and rare earths. Remember that the mills of our miners grind exceedingly slow and fine except when exogenous developments such as a surprise eruption in the Middle East.
