In the last 3 years…
In 2024, the USA produced approximately 677,000 Ibs U3O81
In 2025, the USA is forecast to produce approximately 2.3 M Ibs U3O8 but is expected to consume 50.6 M Ib1
Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Niger in recent years constituted 44% of US uranium imports1
Nuclear accounts for 18.6% of American electricity generation in 20232
The Long Term Outlook
The 2040 deficit is equal to annual production from 11 new operating mines the size of Cigar Lake
…has prevented exploration, development & mining from keeping pace with resource depletion and is clearly inadequate to keep up with emerging demand
…”timely investments in new exploration, mining operations and processing techniques will be essential to ensure that uranium becomes available to the market when needed.”
IAEA Red Book, 2024
Short to Medium-Term Outlook
Term Uranium Prices continue upward movement
Leading Indicators based on the uranium procurement process suggest utility uranium purchases are in their early days of the cycle
