U.S. Tungsten Supply Chain Tightens As A Nevada Past-Producer Mobilizes Drone Geophysics And Property-Wide Soil Geochemistry Toward Drill-Ready TargetsMay 27, 2026 9:05 AM
PR Newswire (Canada) Issued on behalf of Western Star Resources Inc. With APT Rotterdam tungsten prices up roughly 900% over twelve months, the January 1, 2027 DFARS procurement cliff on Chinese-origin tungsten now eight months away, and Canadian CMETC tax architecture actively subsidizing tungsten exploration, one Nevada junior is moving from historical production to modern-vintage drill targeting.USA News Group News CommentaryVANCOUVER, BC, May 27, 2026 /CNW/ -- The Western tungsten supply problem has reached the operational tooling stage. APT Rotterdam tungsten prices traded at approximately US$3,185 per metric tonne unit in early May 2026 — a roughly 900% increase over the past twelve months — driven by Chinese export licensing controls, the looming January 1, 2027 DFARS 252.225-7052 procurement cliff on Chinese, Russian, Iranian, and North Korean-origin tungsten products across the U.S. defense supply chain, and the Canadian Critical Mineral Exploration Tax Credit (CMETC) expansion that now actively subsidizes tungsten exploration under Bill C-15 (Royal Assent March 26, 2026). Inside that landscape, Western Star Resources Inc. (CSE: WSR) (OTC: WSRIF) (FRA: 4K2), Almonty Industries Inc. (TSX: AII) (OTCQX: ALMTF), Guardian Metal Resources PLC (AIM: GMET) (OTCQX: GMTLF), EQ Resources Limited (ASX: EQR) (OTCPK: EQRMF), and Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR) collectively span the spectrum of Western-aligned tungsten and critical-mineral exposure.Western Star Resources Inc. (CSE: WSR) (OTC: WSRIF) (FRA: 4K2) on May 21, 2026 announced that its technical team has mobilized to the Company's Rowland Tungsten Property in Elko County, Nevada, to commence the first phase of its 2026 field exploration program. The initial program includes a high-resolution drone magnetic survey, systematic prospecting, sampling of historical waste dumps and workings, and a property-wide soil geochemistry campaign — designed to refine the Company's understanding of the prospective tungsten-bearing skarn horizons. The objective: generate drill-ready targets during the 2026 field season.Blake Morgan, CEO and President of Western Star, framed the program as the first modern exploration program ever conducted on the past-producing Rowland tungsten system. The property has documented historical production but has not previously been evaluated using modern drone geophysics and systematic property-wide geochemistry. Mineralization at Rowland is hosted in skarn zones up to 100 feet wide, developed along intrusive contacts between Cretaceous-aged quartz monzonite stock and a host sequence of limestones, shales, and quartzites — with scheelite as the primary tungsten mineral. Drone geophysical results are expected in the coming weeks, with soil samples submitted for certified laboratory analysis.The geological foundation under Rowland is substantial. Historical production figures — based on previous records and not yet independently verified by the Company — include 4.5 tons at 3.38% WO3 shipped in 1943 and approximately 1,000 tons at 0.5–1.0% WO3 produced between 1954 and 1956. These represent the documented past-producing footprint that the modern 2026 program is designed to convert into structurally controlled, geochemically validated drill targets. Western Star expects to integrate the drone geophysical results, soil geochemistry, and historical production data into priority drill target generation, with drill permitting also progressing in parallel.The macro environment under the program is unusually supportive. The January 1, 2027 DFARS 252.225-7052 procurement cliff — which codifies under 10 U.S.C. §4872, NDAA Section 844 (FY2021), and Section 854 (FY2024) — extends prohibitions across the entire defense supply chain from mining through finished tungsten metal powders, tungsten heavy alloys, samarium-cobalt magnets, NdFeB magnets, and tantalum metals/alloys. The Canadian CMETC framework — expanded under Budget 2025 (November 4, 2025) and enacted via Bill C-15 (Royal Assent March 26, 2026) — added tungsten to the eligible critical minerals list, providing a 30% non-refundable credit on top of the 100% Canadian Exploration Expense deduction for FT share agreements through March 31, 2027.Western Star also recently engaged Plutus Invest & Consulting GmbH — a Bremen-based investor relations and marketing firm — under a mandate fee of €200,000 through April 30, 2027, positioning the Company for European market awareness during the back half of 2026 and through Q1 2027 — precisely the window during which the U.S. federal procurement cliff takes effect and the Company's maiden drill program is generating its first modern technical results. The scientific and technical information at Rowland has been reviewed by Jasper Mowatt, MAusIMM, a Qualified Person under NI 43-101.

(TSX: AII) (OTCQX: ALMTF) has continued to advance commissioning and ramp-up of its Sangdong tungsten project in South Korea — one of the largest tungsten mines outside of China and the central pillar of the Western tungsten capacity build-out. Sangdong's projected mine life and production scale position Almonty as the single largest Western-aligned source of new tungsten production capacity heading into the 2026–2027 window. The Company's existing producing assets in Portugal and Spain provide additional near-term cash flow and operational platform under the tightening Western tungsten procurement environment.Almonty's strategic positioning — operating producing tungsten assets while simultaneously commissioning the largest non-China tungsten development project in the Western world — places AII as the public-market reference for tungsten production scale-up. As the January 2027 DFARS procurement cliff approaches, the supply premium attaching to allied tungsten production capacity continues to widen — a structural feature of the broader Western critical-minerals capital cycle.Guardian Metal Resources PLC (AIM: GMET) (OTCQX: GMTLF) has continued exploration and resource definition work at its Pilot Mountain tungsten project in Nevada — among the highest-grade tungsten development assets currently positioned in the U.S. critical-minerals procurement environment. The Company's strategic positioning within the U.S. domestic tungsten supply chain build-out has been reinforced by continuing engagement under U.S. Department of War and Defense Production Act-related programs targeting domestic tungsten capacity.Guardian Metal's U.S.-based positioning at Pilot Mountain — combined with its dual AIM/OTCQX listing structure — provides the public-market reference for U.S. tungsten development assets at advanced exploration stage. The procurement environment is increasingly differentiating among tungsten exposures by jurisdictional alignment, project stage, and resource verification — a sequencing the broader sector has been pricing into the development-stage assets through the back half of 2025 and into 2026.EQ Resources Limited (ASX: EQR) (OTCPK: EQRMF) has continued to advance its tungsten production operations at the Mt Carbine project in Queensland, Australia — one of the few currently producing tungsten assets in the broader Western-allied production complex. The Company has continued to leverage the structurally higher tungsten price environment through 2025 and into 2026, with operations focused on tungsten concentrate production at scale.EQ Resources' positioning as a producing Australian tungsten operator provides the operational reference point for what tungsten production economics look like inside the current commodity price environment — and reinforces the broader structural premium attaching to Western-allied tungsten supply. Australia's positioning as a tier-one mining jurisdiction with growing U.S. defense procurement engagement continues to reinforce the strategic relevance of EQ's production base.Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR) has continued to expand its critical minerals portfolio through 2026, advancing the Vara Mada (formerly Toliara) Project in Madagascar — renamed January 8, 2026 via the updated feasibility study release. The Vara Mada Project represents one of the largest critical-mineral development assets in the Energy Fuels portfolio, providing rare earth, titanium, and other critical-mineral exposure alongside the Company's established uranium production base. The Company continues to advance its White Mesa Mill in Utah as the primary U.S. processing facility for uranium and rare earth concentrates.Energy Fuels' integrated U.S.-based production and processing infrastructure — anchored by White Mesa Mill — positions UUUU as one of the most operationally diversified critical-minerals platforms in the public market. The Company is renegotiating Vara Mada fiscal terms with the new Randrianirina government in Madagascar following the October 2025 political transition. Across the Western critical-minerals development complex, UUUU's processing capability provides architectural reference for what a vertically integrated critical-minerals producer can look like at scale.Across the comparable set, the message is consistent: Western tungsten supply economics have entered a new phase, U.S. and allied procurement environments are repricing in real time, and the upstream resource layer is where the asymmetry of the trade lives. Western Star Resources' May 21 field mobilization at Rowland — paired with documented historical tungsten production, the Plutus European IR mandate, and the converging DFARS and CMETC policy windows — places the Company at the modern-vintage-exploration entry point inside the broader Western tungsten capital cycle. For investors building exposure to the U.S. tungsten supply chain reshore thesis, WSR deserves a closer look.CONTINUED… Read this and more news for Western Star Resources Inc. at: https://usanewsgroup.com/wsr-landingCONTACT:

Tungsten's 557% Run Meets a District-Scale Critical-Minerals Story in British ColumbiaMay 26, 2026 10:35 AM
PR Newswire (US) Issued on behalf of GoldHaven Resources Corp.Western governments are scrambling to rebuild non-Chinese tungsten supply as prices break century highs — and a 37,000-hectare project in BC just put itself in the conversationEquity Insider News CommentaryVANCOUVER, BC, May 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Tungsten has done something almost no other metal has done this decade: ammonium paratungstate (APT) prices have surged roughly 557% since China added tungsten products to its export control list in February 2025, pushing the European benchmark toward US$2,250 per metric ton unit by March 2026[1].  The metal has outpaced gold and copper, and with China still controlling more than 80% of global tungsten production[2], every Western government and defense contractor is suddenly trying to figure out the same thing — where the next non-Chinese supply actually comes from.That question is now driving capital toward GoldHaven Resources Corp. (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: GHVNF) (FSE: 4QS), Almonty Industries Inc. (NASDAQ: ALM), Guardian Metal Resources PLC (NYSE American: GMTL), American Tungsten Corp. (OTCQB: TUNGF), and Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE American: UUUU).The policy backdrop is just as aggressive as the price chart. Canada's enhanced 30% Critical Mineral Exploration Tax Credit was expanded to include tungsten under Bill C-15, which received Royal Assent on March 26, 2026, and applies to flow-through agreements entered into after November 4, 2025 and on or before March 31, 2027.South of the border, the U.S. Department of Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS 252.225-7052) restricts the acquisition of tungsten metal powder and tungsten heavy alloy that has been mined, refined, separated, melted, or produced in China, Russia, Iran, or North Korea, with the full mine-to-finished-material restriction taking effect on January 1, 2027[3]. Capital is moving toward operators with land in friendly jurisdictions, drill-ready targets, and the geology to back it up — not toward concept stage stories five years out.GoldHaven Highlights Strategic Tungsten and Indium Exposure at MagnoOn May 25, 2026, GoldHaven issued a release highlighting the growing strategic significance of tungsten and indium at its district-scale Magno Project in northern British Columbia, situated within the Cassiar District and covering more than 37,000 hectares of ground prospective for carbonate replacement deposit (CRD), skarn, and porphyry mineralization."Global markets are increasingly recognizing the strategic importance of securing Western sources of tungsten and other critical minerals amid growing supply chain concerns," said Rob Birmingham, CEO of GoldHaven. "We believe Magno represents a district-scale critical minerals opportunity combining tungsten-bearing skarn systems, high-grade silver-zinc-lead CRD mineralization, and elevated indium values within one of Canada's premier mining jurisdictions. As we advance airborne geophysics, and 2026 drill targeting, we believe Magno continues to demonstrate the characteristics of a large-scale multi-phase mineralizing system with significant critical minerals potential."The technical case at Magno is built on four data points that matter for tungsten investors. First, multiple tungsten-bearing skarn targets have been identified across the property, with 2025 surface sampling returning values up to 6,550 ppm tungsten. Second, historical drilling and sampling at the Kuhn Zone reportedly returned intervals including 13.0 metres grading 0.55% WO3, 4.0 metres grading 1.32% WO3 and 0.26% MoS2, and 2.5 metres grading 0.95% WO3.Third, elevated indium values of up to 334 ppm have been identified within sphalerite-bearing mineralization — another China-dominated critical mineral with strategic significance for semiconductor and solar applications. Fourth, the project carries broader porphyry copper-molybdenum upside on top of its tungsten and silver-zinc-lead profile.The historical results referenced above were obtained from publicly available BC government assessment reports and have not been independently verified by GoldHaven or the Qualified Person, though management notes the data is being used to define and guide ongoing geological modelling and targeting work. The 2026 program is designed in part to confirm these historical results.With airborne geophysics already underway, GoldHaven is advancing permitting and exploration planning for a 2026 campaign expected to include drill testing across multiple high-priority tungsten-bearing skarn systems, silver-lead-zinc CRD zones, and porphyry copper-molybdenum targets identified across the project. The Magno Project remains at an exploration stage and additional work is required to determine the extent and economic significance of identified mineralization, but the package of attributes — district scale, multiple critical minerals, BC jurisdiction, drill-defined historical zones — fits cleanly into the criteria Western buyers are searching for.A full breakdown of the Magno target package, the 2026 drill plan, and the broader GoldHaven investor story is available here at Equity Insider.In the same release, GoldHaven also announced a one-month digital marketing services agreement with Machai Capital Inc. for an aggregate fee of $200,000 plus GST, payable from working capital and subject to CSE approval. The engagement is restricted to public awareness services and does not include investor relations or market-making.The technical and scientific information has been reviewed and approved by Raymond Wladichuk P.Geo., a non-independent Qualified Person under NI 43-101 and a consultant of the Company.In other industry developments:Almonty Industries Inc. (NASDAQ: ALM) reported first quarter 2026 revenue of US$25.4 million on May 11, 2026 — a 221% year-over-year increase driven by a sharp rise in the spot price of tungsten APT and continued strong operational performance at the Panasqueira Mine in Portugal[4]. The quarter also marked the formal commissioning ceremony at the Sangdong Tungsten Mine in Gangwon Province, South Korea, on March 17, 2026, marking the completion of development and the transition of one of the world's largest and highest-grade tungsten deposits toward commercial operations."Sangdong plays a critical role in efforts by the United States, the European Union and Korea to diversify away from the China-dominated market, which currently supplies more than 80% of the world's tungsten," said Lewis Black, CEO of Almonty. Phase 1 of Sangdong is designed to process approximately 640,000 tonnes of ore annually for roughly 2,300 tonnes of tungsten concentrate, with a planned Phase 2 expansion in 2027 doubling output to roughly 4,600 tonnes per year — enough to potentially supply approximately 40% of global tungsten demand outside China.Guardian Metal Resources PLC (NYSE American: GMTL) provided a Pre-Feasibility Study progress update for its 100%-owned Pilot Mountain tungsten project in Nevada on May 6, 2026. The PFS is being supported by a US$6.2 million U.S. Department of War Defense Production Act Title III investment in Guardian Metal's wholly-owned subsidiary, Golden Metal Resources (USA) LLC[5]. Required drilling for resource evaluation at the Desert Scheelite and Garnet Zones is complete, and a mine Plan of Operations is targeted for submission to the BLM in August 2026."We are very pleased to report strong progress at Pilot Mountain," said Oliver Friesen, CEO of Guardian Metal. The company completed its U.S. listing on the NYSE American on March 20, 2026, giving American investors direct access to one of the largest undeveloped tungsten deposits in the United States. Metallurgical work indicates a flotation circuit producing scheelite concentrate with potential silver and zinc by-products — a profile that, like Magno, brings polymetallic optionality alongside the primary tungsten thesis.For more on how GoldHaven stacks up against the peer set as the Western tungsten thesis builds, see the full investor briefing here at Equity Insider.American Tungsten Corp. (CSE: TUNG) (OTCQB: TUNGF) confirmed high-grade tungsten mineralization from initial Zero Level underground drilling at its IMA Mine in Lemhi County, Idaho on May 5, 2026. Highlight intercepts included 17.8 feet grading 0.435% WO3 and 1.16 oz/t Ag, 3.4 feet grading 1.02% WO3 and 0.84 oz/t Ag, and multiple tungsten-bearing polymetallic veins associated with the Main Ima vein system and a newly identified western vein."These initial underground drilling results from the Zero Level are highly encouraging and validate our approach to revitalizing the Ima Mine," said Ali Haji, CEO of American Tungsten. "Intersecting multiple high-grade tungsten-bearing veins, including both historical and newly identified structures, underscores the significant untapped potential of the property and reinforces our confidence as we advance our Phase 1 exploration program." The IMA Mine is a past-producing underground tungsten property that yielded approximately 199,449 metric ton units of WO3 between 1945 and 1957, with the historical tungsten-silver vein system also identified as containing a silver credit that management expects could help offset future operating costs — putting American Tungsten in the same brownfield, past-producing category as several of the Western tungsten reset candidates.Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE American: UUUU) reported its first quarter 2026 results on May 6, 2026, marking the leadership transition from longtime CEO Mark Chalmers to newly appointed President and CEO Ross Bhappu. Energy Fuels is positioning itself as a vertically integrated U.S. producer of uranium, rare earth elements, and other critical minerals, with operations spanning the White Mesa Mill in Utah and a growing rare earth processing footprint."My immediate focus is disciplined execution — continuing to align our global teams, advancing development projects with a strong emphasis on schedule certainty and capital efficiency, and strengthening the operational foundation required to support sustained, long-term growth as a vertically integrated critical materials company," said Bhappu. Energy Fuels offers investors a producing-asset window into the broader U.S. critical minerals build-out — the same thematic GoldHaven is now positioning Magno against, just at a different point on the development curve.The thread running through all five names is the same: capital is repricing tungsten and adjacent critical minerals around a single assumption — that Chinese supply cannot be counted on, and that the Western mine pipeline has to be rebuilt from the ground up. Producers like Almonty are already monetizing the price move. PFS-stage operators like Guardian Metal are converting policy support into bankable engineering. Past-producing brownfields like American Tungsten and the broader U.S. tungsten reset are working back into resource definition. And exploration-stage, district-scale projects like GoldHaven's Magno — with tungsten, silver-zinc-lead CRD, indium, and porphyry copper-molybdenum targets across a single 37,000-hectare property — are exactly the kind of land package that fits the Western buyer profile if 2026 drilling validates the historical work.With airborne geophysics already in the air and drill targeting in design, the next twelve months at Magno will tell investors whether GoldHaven turns the policy-supported environment into actual delineation. The tungsten price chart has already made the case — the full GoldHaven story is available here at Equity Insider.CONTINUED… Read this and more news for GoldHaven Resources at: https://equity-insider.com/goh-landing/.CONTACT:

Inside America's Largest Conventional Measured and Indicated Uranium Deposit: Eagle Nuclear Energy Advances Aurora Toward Pre-FeasibilityMay 14, 2026 10:57 AM
PR Newswire (US) Issued on behalf of Eagle Nuclear Energy Corp.Environmental baseline studies commence at flagship Aurora Uranium Project ahead of 27,000-foot, 47-hole drill program scheduled to commence in July 2026; PFS targeted second half of 2027NEW YORK, May 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Equity Insider News Commentary — The United States burns through roughly 50 million pounds of uranium each year to fuel the world's largest fleet of nuclear reactors, and imports approximately 95% of that uranium from foreign suppliers.[1] That structural import dependence — combined with accelerating demand projections for nuclear power across AI data centers, grid expansion, and emerging space-deployment mandates — has placed domestic uranium development firmly into the national security conversation. Spot uranium pricing reached approximately $86.55 per pound as of May 1, 2026, up 24% over the trailing twelve months, providing the price backdrop against which the small group of U.S.-asset uranium developers has been advancing through the spring of 2026.[2] Eagle Nuclear Energy Corp. (NASDAQ: NUCL) — a next-generation nuclear energy company that owns the rights to the largest conventional, measured and indicated uranium deposit in the United States— on May 5, 2026 announced the commencement of environmental baseline studies in advance of the Company's previously announced 27,000-foot, 47-hole Pre-Feasibility Study ("PFS")-related drill program at its flagship Aurora Uranium Project, located along the Oregon–Nevada border.[3] The studies are being conducted by numerous engaged consultants ahead of the drill program, which is scheduled to commence in early July 2026 using two to three rigs over an estimated three- to four-month period.[3]Aurora: A Defined Conventional Uranium ResourceThe Aurora Uranium Project hosts 32.75 million pounds of indicated and 4.98 million pounds of inferred uranium resource under the SK-1300 TRS reporting standard.[2] The adjacent Cordex deposit, also held by the Company, is positioned as offering significant potential to expand the project's overall resource inventory beyond Aurora's current indicated and inferred base.[3] Together, the assets anchor Eagle's stated long-term strategy to develop an integrated nuclear energy platform that combines domestic uranium resources with exclusive Small Modular Reactor (SMR) technology —the integrated platform strategy the Company has emphasized since its February 25, 2026 Nasdaq listing..[2]Drill Program Engineering and Permitting SequenceOn April 1, 2026, Eagle announced its plans to conduct a 27,000-foot drill program at Aurora — designed by resource consultants BBA USA Inc. ("BBA") to address data gaps identified through a comprehensive Gap Analysis study and advance the project toward a PFS.[4] On April 9, 2026, the Company signed a Drilling Services Agreement with Fallon, Nevada-based Harris Exploration Drilling & Associates Inc. ("Harris Drilling"), which committed up to three track-mounted core drill rigs to complete the 47-hole program designed by BBA.[5]The permitting workstream advanced in parallel. On March 18, 2026, Eagle selected SLR International Corporation to lead the permitting effort at Aurora — a leading global mining and environmental consulting firm bringing experience with the federal and state permitting process for U.S. uranium developments.[6] On March 10, 2026, the Company announced it had joined the Uranium Producers of America — an industry trade association that aligns Eagle with the broader U.S. domestic uranium policy conversation.[6]The Company on April 15, 2026 provided its first quarter 2026 corporate update and financial results — the first quarter following the February 24, 2026 completion of its business combination with Spring Valley Acquisition Corp. II and the February 25, 2026 commencement of Nasdaq trading under the symbol "NUCL."[7]A Tightening Uranium Market BackdropThe price environment for U.S. domestic uranium developers has continued to firm through Q2 2026. Spot uranium pricing at approximately $86.55 per pound as of May 1, 2026 represents one of the strongest sustained price ranges of the past decade for the metal.[2] White House National Science and Technology Memorandum 3, issued April 14, 2026, mandates space-based nuclear deployment by 2028 and lunar reactor deployment by 2030 — federal directives that have increased the strategic importance of domestic uranium and the enriched fuel cycle running adjacent to it.[8]Across the broader uranium sector, producers operating U.S. and adjacent assets continue to reinforce the growing demand backdrop Eagle is advancing into. .Cameco Corporation (NYSE: CCJ) (TSX: CCO), one of the world's largest publicly listed uranium producers, has continued to advance the Cigar Lake operation and the McArthur River/Key Lake restart in the Athabasca Basin of Saskatchewan — alongside its strategic 49% interest in Westinghouse Electric Company. The Company has remained the benchmark name for senior uranium production exposure in the public markets.Uranium Energy Corp. (NYSE American: UEC) has continued to advance its U.S.-based in-situ recovery uranium production platform across Texas and Wyoming, alongside development-stage assets in the Powder River and Great Divide basins. UEC's positioning as one of the larger pure-play U.S. uranium developers makes its operational cadence a useful read on the broader U.S. uranium production conversation that Eagle's Aurora development pathway sits within.Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR), the U.S.'s largest producer of uranium concentrates and a leading rare earth elements producer, operates the White Mesa Mill in Utah — the only fully licensed and operating conventional uranium mill in the United States. Energy Fuels' integrated U.S. uranium-and-critical-minerals positioning has continued to draw attention as the broader domestic supply chain policy conversation has accelerated.Denison Mines Corp. (NYSE American: DNN) (TSX: DML) has continued to advance its Phoenix In-Situ Recovery uranium project at Wheeler River in Saskatchewan toward final investment decision, with the project positioned as one of the lower-cost potential new uranium operations in North America. Denison's progress in the Athabasca Basin provides one of the more closely watched development timelines in the senior uranium developer cohort.Bottom Line on NUCL's PositionThe May 5, 2026 commencement of environmental baseline studies marks the start of the PFS-related workstream proper at Aurora. With the drill program scheduled to commence in July 2026 under a signed Drilling Services Agreement with Harris Drilling, permitting led by SLR, resource modelling by BBA, and the Company holding what it describes as the largest conventional measured and indicated uranium deposit in the United States, Eagle has translated its February 2026 Nasdaq listing into an operational execution profile aligned with the broader uranium sector's current growth cycle. . The PFS is targeted for the second half of 2027; the next several quarters will be defined by drill progress, baseline-study completion, and the permitting interface across federal and state regulators.[3]Read more about Eagle Nuclear Energy Corp. at: usanewsgroup.com/nucl-profileCONTACT:Equity Insider

Western Nations Accelerate $12B Critical Mineral Initiatives as Global Export Restrictions Reach Record HighsMay 7, 2026 11:15 AM
PR Newswire (Canada) Issued on behalf of GoldHaven Resources Corp.USANewsGroup.com News Commentary VANCOUVER, BC, May 7, 2026 /CNW/ -- The money tells the story. Western governments just committed $12.1 billion in new mining project capital through 30 partnerships at the 2026 PDAC conference, while the U.S. launched its FORGE coalition, pulling in 54 nations and locking down 11 bilateral supply agreements in a single day[1]. That spending is reactive. A new OECD inventory confirms global export restrictions on critical raw materials have hit an all-time high, with supply concentration for cobalt, lithium, and rare earths now exceeding 90% among the top three producing nations[2]. The structural shift is pulling capital down the entire Western mineral pipeline, from early stage exploration to commercial production, and five companies are positioned directly in its path: GoldHaven Resources (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: GHVNF), Almonty Industries (NASDAQ: ALM) (TSX: AII), Brixton Metals (TSXV: BBB) (OTCQX: BBBXF), NioCorp Developments (NASDAQ: NB), and Energy Fuels (NYSE-A: UUUU) (TSX: EFR). Analysts now project the global critical minerals market will nearly double to $715 billion by 2035, with North American investment growing at the fastest rate as defense budgets, AI infrastructure, and electrification demand converge on the same finite set of inputs. An April 2026 OECD working paper on critical minerals and clean energy applications reinforces the thesis: projects offering exposure to multiple designated critical minerals across defense, energy, and technology supply chains are now attracting the strongest institutional capital[3].GoldHaven Resources (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: GHVNF) just announced the upsizing of its previously announced non-brokered financing to gross proceeds of up to $1.2 million—due to strong investor demand. The additional capital is set to further strengthen GoldHaven's fully funded 2026 exploration program at its flagship Magno Project in the Cassiar District of British Columbia, and it's expected to support an expanded drill campaign targeting a large-scale, multi-phase mineral system with significant and critical metals exposure, including tungsten and indium."The level of investor interest reflects growing recognition of the opportunity at Magno," said Rob Birmingham, CEO of GoldHaven. "With drilling set to expand beyond our initial program, we are entering a catalyst-rich phase where we can begin to test the scale of this system across multiple high-priority targets. We believe Magno has the characteristics of a large, multi-phase mineral system, and this program is a key step in advancing that potential."Magno is a district-scale polymetallic property spanning more than 37,200 hectares, carrying silver, tungsten, lead, zinc, and indium mineralization. Tungsten is classified as a critical mineral by both the Canadian and U.S. governments, and Canada currently has no primary domestic tungsten production. GoldHaven Resources has already submitted its drill permit application at Magno and filed a technical report covering the polymetallic system, positioning the project for its first drill program as the funding comes together."We are entering an exciting and highly strategic phase at Magno, where multiple high-grade zones and distinct mineralization styles have now been defined across a large, consolidated land package," said Birmingham. "The combination of high-grade silver-lead-zinc mineralization and growing exposure to critical minerals such as tungsten and indium continues to reinforce our view that Magno hosts the hallmarks, continues to reinforce our view that Magno is emerging as a compelling district-scale silver and critical minerals exploration opportunity in the Cassiar District."The company is also active in Brazil, where an independent geological review of its 100%-owned Copeçal Gold Project confirmed a large-scale, structurally controlled hydrothermal gold system. The review identified higher-grade gold enrichment at the West Target tied to fold hinge structures, and copper-gold vectors at the East Target supported by zoned sulphide assemblages indicating increasing temperature at depth. A Phase II drill program at Copeçal is planned for 2026, designed to test the high-priority structural and geophysical targets identified through that review.CONTINUED… Read this and more news for GoldHaven Resources at: https://usanewsgroup.com/2025/09/23/the-goldhaven-story-two-continents-one-strategy-systematic-exploration-in-historically-productive-districts/In other industry developments:Almonty Industries (NASDAQ: ALM) (TSX: AII) announced the relocation of its corporate headquarters from Toronto, Ontario to Dillon, Montana, positioning the company closer to U.S. government agencies, defense contractors, and industrial partners following its Nasdaq listing and US$90 million IPO in July 2025 and a US$129 million follow-on financing in December 2025. The move accompanies the acquisition of Montana's Gentung Tungsten Project, expected to restart production in 2026, and deepens Almonty Industries' strategic alignment with U.S. critical mineral supply chain security."Relocating our headquarters to the United States is not merely symbolic," said Lewis Black, Chairman, President and CEO of Almonty Industries. "It reflects who we are – as Montana is the location of our recently acquired Gentung Tungsten Project – and where our future lies. Our investors, customers, and strategic partners are here because they recognize the urgency of building a Western tungsten supply chain free from Chinese dependence."Almonty Industries operates the Sangdong Mine in South Korea, historically one of the world's largest and highest-grade tungsten deposits, as well as projects in Portugal and Spain. With Sangdong Phase 1 complete and Gentung on track for restart, the company is targeting a dominant position in the global non-Chinese tungsten supply chain.Brixton Metals (TSXV: BBB) (OTCQX: BBBXF) reported the third batch of drill results from its Langis 2026 drill program at the Langis silver project in Ontario, Canada, including hole LM-26-290 with a 0.50-metre sample grading 82,334 g/t silver containing abundant native silver, representing the highest-grade single sample ever reported by the company and among the highest silver grades ever reported globally. The hole returned 11.35 metres averaging 4,560 g/t silver, with multiple additional bonanza-grade intercepts reported across the program."We are excited to report the third batch of drill results from the Langis 2026 drill program," said Gary R. Thompson, Chairman and CEO of Brixton Metals. "These results are extraordinary and are among the most significant silver drilled intercepts known to the company globally. Hole LM-26-290 has delivered an exceptional result, highlighted by 82,334 g/t silver from a 0.50m core length sample containing abundant native silver."Brixton Metals is advancing the Langis silver project in Ontario alongside its Thorn copper-gold-silver project in British Columbia, with ongoing drilling at Langis aimed at delineating the extent of bonanza-grade mineralization and establishing a mineral resource estimate.NioCorp Developments (NASDAQ: NB) announced Nebraska enacted legislation giving the company greater flexibility to qualify for approximately $200 million in state tax incentives over the first ten years of operations at the Elk Creek Project in southeast Nebraska, in return for investing hundreds of millions of dollars in the state and creating approximately 450 full-time equivalent jobs. Signed by Governor Jim Pillen on April 16, 2026, the legislation extends the period during which companies must meet Tier 6 Nebraska Advantage Act employment and investment requirements."I want to thank Governor Pillen, Revenue Committee Chairman Brad von Gillern, Senator Hallstrom, and members of the Nebraska Unicameral for supporting this effort," said Mark A. Smith, Chairman and CEO of NioCorp Developments. "Nebraska has stood behind the Elk Creek Project from the very beginning, and this is another clear demonstration of that commitment."The Elk Creek Project is expected to create approximately 450 permanent direct jobs in southeast Nebraska, support an estimated 2,100 additional jobs throughout the broader state economy, and generate approximately $6.59 billion in operating expenses over the project's life. NioCorp Developments is a leading U.S. critical minerals developer focused on advancing the project toward production.Energy Fuels (NYSE-A: UUUU) (TSX: EFR) produced its first kilogram of terbium oxide at its White Mesa Mill in Utah at 99.9% purity using monazite ore sourced domestically, representing the first U.S. mine-to-oxide capability for heavy rare earth oxides in decades and the first production volumes and purities sufficient for downstream metal and alloy validation. The achievement follows production of nearly 30 kilograms of dysprosium oxide at the same purity level, with both terbium and dysprosium now subject to Chinese export controls and critical to high-performance permanent magnets used in electric vehicles, drones, robotics, and defense applications."This success proves we can process and produce high purity 'heavy' rare earth oxides economically and at scale in the U.S.," said Mark Chalmers, CEO of Energy Fuels. "North America will soon have a reliable and secure U.S. commercial source of these vital critical materials ensuring availability for high-performance magnet and defense technologies."Energy Fuels has received requests from multiple magnet manufacturers and OEMs worldwide to begin product validation of its Dy and Tb oxide production. The company operates the White Mesa Mill as a leading U.S. producer of uranium, rare earths, and critical materials, advancing its strategy of becoming a globally significant critical material producer.FURTHER READING: https://usanewsgroup.com/2025/09/23/the-goldhaven-story-two-continents-one-strategy-systematic-exploration-in-historically-productive-districts/CONTACT:

Energy Fuels Announces Q1-2026 ResultsMay 6, 2026 5:27 PM
PR Newswire (US) DENVER, May 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR) ("Energy Fuels" or the "Company"), a leading U.S. producer of uranium, rare earth elements ("REEs"), and other critical minerals, today reported its financial and operational results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. The Company previously announced details for its upcoming May 7, 2026, earnings call. "Building on the strong foundation established under the leadership of Mark Chalmers, I am honored to step into the role of CEO and lead Energy Fuels through its next phase of growth," said Ross Bhappu, President and Chief Executive Officer of Energy Fuels. "My immediate focus is disciplined execution—continuing to align our global teams, advancing development projects with a strong emphasis on schedule certainty and capital efficiency, and strengthening the operational foundation required to support sustained, long-term growth as a vertically integrated critical materials company."During the quarter, we made meaningful progress across our portfolio. We successfully produced terbium oxide at pilot scale, announced the planned acquisition of Australian Strategic Materials, and made the decision to install infrastructure at the White Mesa Mill to enable future production of heavy rare earth oxides, including samarium, europium, gadolinium, terbium and dysprosium. In our uranium business, we delivered 510,000 pounds of U3O8 to customers, meeting contract commitments, capitalizing on favorable spot market conditions, and remained on track to achieve our full-year uranium production and sales guidance."Across our uranium development portfolio, activity continues to accelerate. At Nichols Ranch and Whirlwind, development efforts are positioning us to quickly respond to favorable market conditions. In parallel, we have accelerated permitting on key development assets, including Roca Honda and Bullfrog, enhancing our ability to scale long-term domestic production in support of growing U.S. nuclear energy demand. Development of our rare earth elements and mineral sand business continues across multiple assets, including ongoing progress at our Donald Project joint venture in Australia, which has the potential to advance to construction in the near-term and provide a long-term source of monazite to our White Mesa Mill in Utah, with exceptional concentrations of both light and heavy rare earth oxides."Taken together, our Q1 results reflect solid execution today and reinforce the long-term opportunity in front of Energy Fuels."Q1 2026 HighlightsUnless noted otherwise, all dollar amounts are in U.S. dollars.Financial Highlights:Robust Balance Sheet with Over $950 million of Liquidity: As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $956.6 million of working capital, including $108.4 million of cash and cash equivalents, $802.2 million of marketable securities (comprised primarily of short-term, interest-bearing securities and uranium equities), $7.6 million of trade and other receivables, and $69.0 million of inventory. This liquidity supports ongoing operations and project development.Net Loss of $11 Million; Significant Year-over-Year Improvement: The Company incurred a net loss of $10.8 million ($0.04 per share) during the quarter, a substantial improvement from last year's Q1 net loss of $26.3 million ($0.13 per share). The improvement was driven primarily by higher uranium concentrate revenues and an increase in other income, partially offset by higher operating costs between periods.Over $8 Million Generated from Operating Cash Flows: The Company generated $8.3 million in cash from operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $18.8 million used in cash from operating activities during the same period in 2025. The improvement resulted mainly from increased uranium revenues, including the collection of a significant portion of receivables within the quarter and reduced cash outflows for the reclamation activities at the Kwale Project. $36 Million in Revenue: The Company sold 510,000 pounds of U3O8 at a weighted average realized price of $70.04 per pound for total uranium revenues of $35.7 million. Spot market sales totaled 100,000 pounds for revenue of $9.6 million at a weighted average realized price of $95.88 per pound, while long-term contract sales totaled 410,000 pounds for revenue of $26.1 million at a weighted average realized price of $63.74 per pound.Uranium Milestones:Mined 425,000 Pounds of Contained U3O8: The Company continued mining at its Pinyon Plain, La Sal, and Pandora mines with combined mined ore and mineralized material containing approximately 425,000 pounds of U3O8. At its Pinyon Plain mine, the Company mined ore containing approximately 375,000 pounds of U3O8 with an average grade of approximately 1.12% eU3O8. Lower grades were reported in Q1 as the Company moved between high-grade zones. Grades are expected to increase in the coming periods.Produced Nearly 800,000 Pounds of Finished U3O8: The Company produced 790,000 pounds of finished U3O8 in Q1 2026 and reached 1 million pounds in April. Conventional ore processing at the White Mesa Mill in Utah (the "Mill") began as planned in Q4 2025 and, along with alternate feed material processing, is expected to continue throughout 2026, supporting contracted deliveries, potential spot sales, and reducing production costs. See below for further details.Well-Stocked to Meet Long-term Contract Obligations and Capture Market Opportunities: Due to mined ore production at the Pinyon Plain, La Sal, and Pandora mines, as well as processing and production at the Mill, the Company is well-stocked to meet its upcoming long-term uranium contract sales and potential spot sales as market conditions warrant. The Company's inventory balances at the end of Q1 2026 were as follows:Ore, mineralized material and raw materials (contained pounds of U3O8)(1)960,000Work-in-process (contained pounds of U3O8) (1)180,000Finished pounds of U3O81,100,000Total pounds of finished and contained U3O8(1)2,240,000(1) Estimated.
Guidance Unchanged: The Company's guidance for 2026 remains unchanged as follows:
Low
HighMined (contained pounds of U3O8)2,000,000
2,500,000Processed (finished pounds of U3O8)(1)1,500,000
2,500,000Sales (pounds of U3O8)(2)1,500,000
2,000,000

(1)Assumes the conventional uranium Mill run continues through 2026 including downtime for planned maintenance. The conventional Mill run is expected to be completed once available stockpiled mineralized materials have been processed. A subsequent Mill run will proceed pending receipt of sufficient mineralized material stockpiles to justify the restart, which is currently expected to be later in 2026 or early in 2027.(2)Subject to sales into the spot market depending on market conditions.Uranium Production Costs Reduced in Q1-2026: As of March 31, 2026, the Company's finished inventories of U3O8 had a weighted average cost of approximately $36 per pound, representing a reduction of approximately $7 per pound (16%) versus December 31, 2025. As previously disclosed, the cost to mine, transport and process Pinyon Plain ore is approximately $23 to $30 per pound. The Company plans to continue processing low-cost Pinyon Plain ore during 2026, blending it with relatively smaller quantities of lower grade, higher cost La Sal/Pandora and other mineralized material (at the Company's discretion), along with previously produced and purchased finished inventories from various sources over the years. The Company expects production costs to continue to decrease throughout 2026 as Pinyon Plain material is processed and sold.Uranium Price Update: The spot price of U3O8 is $86.25 per pound and the long-term price of U3O8 is $93.00 per pound, according to price data from TradeTech as of May 1, 2026.Rare Earth Element Milestones:Planned Acquisition of Australian Strategic Materials Limited: The Company entered into a definitive agreement on January 20, 2026, as amended on March 12, 2026, to acquire 100% of the issued share capital of Australian Strategic Materials Limited ("ASM") by way of a scheme of arrangement under Australian law. ASM is an Australian-based critical materials company with REE mining, processing, and metallization assets, including the Dubbo Project in New South Wales, a metallization and alloying facility in South Korea and plans to potentially construct a metallization and alloying facility in the U.S. Under the terms of the transaction, ASM shareholders will be entitled to receive 0.053 Common Shares (or CHESS Depositary Interests) for each ASM ordinary share held, and up to AUD$0.13 per ASM share in cash, subject to customary conditions. ASM option holders are expected to receive cash consideration of AUD$0.50 per option under a concurrent option scheme of arrangement. The transaction remains subject to court, regulatory and shareholder approvals under the Australian scheme of arrangement process. Australian foreign investment approval has been obtained. The Company expects the transaction to close as early as July 2026.Phase 1 Expansion to Enable Production of Heavy REEs: Energy Fuels is advancing plans to expand its existing Phase 1 rare earth elements ("REE") separation circuit at the Mill aiming for commercial-level recovery of heavy REEs, including samarium, europium, gadolinium, terbium, and dysprosium, and potentially other heavy REEs. Progress remains subject to several factors, including regulatory approvals, financing, successful development and implementation, and the availability of suitable feedstock.The Company is also evaluating enhancements to enable the Phase 1 Circuit to process uranium- and REE-bearing mixed rare earth carbonates ("MREC") or similar intermediate REE products from third-party sources. These materials are expected to be processed through the Mill's REE solvent extraction circuits without requiring the use of equipment needed for conventional uranium production, subject to applicable approvals and normal execution risks.Energy Fuels continues discussions with magnet and original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") about future offtake for both light and heavy REEs, supporting the Company's long-term strategy to develop a diversified, non-Chinese rare earth supply chain.Phase 2 Expansion to Enable Large-Scale Production of Light and Heavy REEs: In January 2026, Energy Fuels announced the results of an AACE International Class 3 Bankable Feasibility Study ("BFS") for its planned Phase 2 REE separation circuit at the Mill. The Phase 2 Circuit is designed to materially boost both light and heavy REE production capacity and enable REE processing operations to function independently of the Mill's conventional uranium production.The combined Phase 1 and Phase 2 Circuits are expected to increase total NdPr production capacity from the current level of 1,000 tonnes per annum ("tpa") to approximately 6,229 tpa, in addition to roughly 80 tpa of Tb and 288 tpa of Dy. The Phase 2 Circuit is also expected to produce additional separated REE concentrates, including samarium-europium-gadolinium and holmium-group concentrates (which could be further processed and separated by the Company), along with approximately 198,000 pounds of U3O8 per year.The BFS estimates initial capital costs for the Phase 2 Circuit of approximately $410 million and forecasts strong long-term economics, including globally competitive production costs and substantial expected average annual EBITDA over the 40-year modeled life of the project. The Company has not yet made a final investment decision ("FID") with respect to the Phase 2 Circuit.Phase 1 and Phase 2 Expansion Combined Summary:Phase

The Tb oxide achieved approximately 99.9% purity, meeting specifications required by global permanent magnet manufacturers.REE Price Update: European NdPr, Dy and Tb prices were $125/kg, $1,300/kg and $4,500/kg, respectively, while North American NdPr was $125/kg, all as of May 1, 2026, according to price data from Benchmark Mineral Intelligence.Heavy Mineral Sands Milestones:Vara Mada Project: In Q1 2026, Energy Fuels advanced it's 100%-owned Vara Mada Project in Madagascar, a large heavy mineral sand ("HMS") project with significant titanium, zirconium, and REE resources. The REE resources are expected to be processed into REE oxides in the Phase 2 expansion at the Mill discussed above.In January 2026, an updated Feasibility Study ("FS"), prepared in accordance with U.S. Regulation S-K 1300 and Canadian NI 43-101, confirmed the project's scale, 38 year mine life, and robust economics, including a post-tax, pre-debt net present value (10% discount rate) of approximately $1.8 billion and internal rate of return of approximately 25%. At full production, the project is expected to generate average annual EBITDA of over $500 million and average annual free cash flow of approximately $264 million over the modeled mine life.Project development at Vara Mada remains subject to a positive FID, regulatory approvals, updated permitting and final agreement on fiscal matters with the Government of Madagascar. Discussions are ongoing with respect to the legal and fiscal framework necessary to support project development, including mechanisms for long-term stability, tax and customs considerations, foreign exchange matters, enforcement mechanisms and adding monazite to the existing exploitation permit. These matters are expected to be addressed through an investment agreement requiring parliamentary approval and/or through revisions to applicable Malagasy law.Recent political developments in Madagascar, including changes in government leadership and cabinet appointments, have not significantly impacted the project at this time, but the Company continues to monitor conditions as negotiations progress to determine what, if any, impacts these events may have on the expected timelines and prospects for development of the project.Donald Project: The Company continued to advance the Donald Project via its joint venture with Astron Corporation Limited. The Donald Project has received all major regulatory approvals required to construct and operate the project and is expected to provide a long-term, large-scale source of monazite feedstock for the Company to process into light and heavy REE oxides at the Mill.Energy Fuels' ownership in the Donald Project JV increased to 10.5% as of March 31, 2026 with AUD $44.6 million in cash and stock contributed. The Company has the option to earn-in up to a 49% ownership interest through additional investments upon the achievement of designated milestones, including a potential future FID.The project is strategically significant due to high concentrations of heavy REEs, including dysprosium, terbium, and samarium, contained in the monazite concentrate expected to be produced at the project and delivered to the Mill over the 39-year modeled life of the project.Bahia Project: The Bahia Project is an HMS and REE-bearing monazite project in Brazil that has the potential to supply 3,000 to 5,000 tonnes of monazite per year to the Mill over the long term. The Company currently has two drill rigs operating at the Bahia Project to gather the technical data necessary to support future S-K 1300 and NI 43-101-compliant technical reports, which are currently targeted for completion as early as late 2026.Medical Isotope Highlights:The Company is advancing its medical isotope initiatives to separate critical radioisotopes for potential use in cancer treatments. Ongoing test and engineering work at the research and development ("R&D") pilot facility aims to produce R&D-scale quantities of radium-226 ("Ra-226"), while efforts continue to secure necessary licenses and advance engineering for the potential production of R&D-scale quantities of radium-228 ("Ra-228") at the Mill.  Upon the successful production of R&D quantities of Ra-226, the Company will assess developing commercial-scale production capabilities at the Mill for Ra-226, and potentially Ra-228, as early as 2028, pending completion of engineering design, offtake agreements, and regulatory approvals.Mr. Bhappu continued:"We invite all stakeholders to join us in our upcoming May 7, 2026, earnings call, details of which are below, to learn more about our exciting achievements."~~~Conference Call and Webcast at 9:00 AM MT (11:00 AM ET) on Thursday, May 7, 2026:Conference call access with the ability to ask questions:To instantly join the conference call by phone, please use the following link to easily register your name and phone number.

The West Wants to Break China's Critical Minerals Stranglehold. This $68 Billion Greenland Deposit Just Locked In Three World-Class Consultants in Five Weeks.April 30, 2026 11:42 AM
PR Newswire (US)

Issued on behalf of Greenland Mines LtdCritical minerals supply chains have moved from analyst footnote to White House priority. Greenland Mines (NASDAQ: GRML) is positioning its Skaergaard Project — one of the world's largest undeveloped palladium-gold-platinum deposits — as a Western-aligned answer to a structural undersupply story that the major banks are now openly pricing into 2026.CHARLOTTE, N.C., April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- USA News Group News Commentary — In February 2026, the U.S. State Department hosted the 2026 Critical Minerals Ministerial — bringing together representatives of 54 countries and the European Commission to coordinate Western policy responses to critical minerals supply chain vulnerability. Earlier the same month, the Export-Import Bank approved a $10 billion Direct Loan for Project Vault, the most consequential single financing in EXIM's history, designed to establish a domestic strategic reserve for critical minerals. EXIM has issued $14.8 billion in Letters of Interest for critical minerals projects under the current administration. Government equity stakes have been taken in MP Materials, USA Rare Earth, Lithium Americas, Trilogy Metals, Vulcan Elements, and ReElement Technologies.







Against that policy backdrop, Greenland — the world's largest island, with a geological endowment that includes one of the largest known undeveloped palladium-gold-platinum deposits, alongside major rare-earth and uranium occurrences — has emerged as a strategic Western-aligned mining jurisdiction. And on April 27, 2026, Greenland Mines Ltd (Nasdaq: GRML) announced the appointment of SLR Consulting as Geological Consultant and Qualified Person for its Skaergaard Project — the latest in a five-week sequence of corporate developments that has built a world-class technical platform around what may be one of the most significant undeveloped Western precious metals deposits in decades.A Re-Rating PGM Cycle Is Now Visible in Bank ForecastsIn January 2026, Bank of America Global Research raised its 2026 platinum price forecast to $2,450 per ounce — up from $1,825 — and lifted its 2026 palladium forecast to $1,725 per ounce, up from $1,525. The bank cited persistent market deficits, the dislocations of PGMs from trade disputes keeping markets tight, and the launch of physically-backed platinum and palladium futures contracts on China's Guangzhou Futures Exchange (GFEX) in the second half of 2025 as supporting price action.On the supply side, the World Platinum Investment Council (WPIC) reports the platinum market entered a third consecutive year of supply deficit in 2025 with a shortfall of approximately 850,000 ounces, and projects that the deficit will persist through 2029 even as recycling supply grows by approximately 10% in 2026. Heraeus Precious Metals' 2026 forecast sees platinum trading in a $1,300-$1,800/oz range with deficit conditions narrowing but not closing. The 2025 platinum spot rally was approximately 127%."With strong demand for platinum group metals continuing, Bank of America raised its 2026 platinum price forecast to $2,450/oz from $1,825/oz and its 2026 palladium price forecast to $1,725/oz from $1,525/oz. The dislocations of PGMs from trade disputes are keeping markets tight, especially in the case of platinum."Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of Commerce has estimated a dumping margin of approximately 828% on unworked Russian palladium imports, following anti-dumping and countervailing duty petitions filed by Sibanye-Stillwater and the United Steelworkers Union. Russia is the world's largest palladium supplier, accounting for approximately 40% of global supply. Any imposition of tariffs on currently-unspecified Russian volumes could push U.S. domestic prices materially higher and reshape import economics for North American and European refining markets.Why This Greenland Story Stands Out Right NowGreenland Mines Ltd (Nasdaq: GRML) is a Nasdaq-listed company with two operating divisions: a Natural Resources segment focused on the Skaergaard Project in Southeast Greenland — one of the largest undeveloped palladium, gold, and platinum deposits in the world — and a Cell and Gene Therapy division including Klotho's KLTO-202 program for ALS. The Company holds, through its acquisition of Greenland Mines Corp., an 80% interest in Skaergaard plus an option to acquire the remaining 20%. The 2022 NI 43-101 Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource is 25.4 Moz palladium-equivalent and 23.5 Moz gold-equivalent, with a gross undiscounted in-situ resource value of approximately $68 billion at February 2026 metal prices.The differentiated story is not the resource size in isolation — junior PGM developers with large in-situ resources are rare but not unheard of. The differentiated story is the technical and strategic cadence assembled around it over the past five weeks.The Technical Team — Built in Five WeeksOn April 27, 2026, Greenland Mines appointed SLR Consulting as Geological Consultant and Qualified Person for the Skaergaard Project. SLR — with more than 5,000 employees across 140+ offices worldwide — is the same firm that prepared the latest NI 43-101 Technical Report on Skaergaard, effective November 22, 2022, including the current Mineral Resource Estimate. The Company has positioned the appointment as providing technical continuity and execution efficiency, with SLR specialists scheduled for a return site visit in late August or early September 2026 in connection with the planned summer field program.On April 23, 2026, the Company executed a framework agreement with GTK Mintec — the mineral processing and circular-economy pilot plant of the Geological Survey of Finland, located in Outokumpu, Finland. The facility runs approximately 100 projects per year and 8-12 industrial-scale pilot runs annually. The scope is comprehensive: advanced mineralogical characterization (MLA / QEMSCAN, EPMA), gold deportment, beneficiation testwork, hydrometallurgical testwork (chloride leaching, pressure oxidation, Kell-type, molten-salt processes), and pilot-scale processing using a 10-20 tonne bulk sample. Tailings and extractive-waste studies will be conducted on the SMARTTEST platform.GTK Mintec's scope explicitly extends beyond the primary palladium-gold-platinum deposit to evaluate critical metals optionality — including vanadium, gallium, germanium, titanium and iron recovery from vanadium-bearing titanomagnetite zones — as well as ore sorting and pre-concentration economics. The directional implication is that the eventual Skaergaard production scenario could be a multi-product operation rather than a single-commodity precious metals mine.Earlier in March, the Company engaged WSP Denmark for the full environmental impact assessment baseline program — the foundational regulatory work product required for project advancement under Greenlandic mining law.The Iceland Configuration: Mine in Greenland, Process in IcelandOn April 16, 2026, Greenland Mines announced a non-binding Letter of Intent with an Icelandic industrial site owner to evaluate establishment of a downstream processing hub in Iceland. Skaergaard sits approximately 450 km west of Iceland — within direct reach of one of the lowest-cost industrial-power jurisdictions in the developed world.According to the announcement, the LOI targets power costs potentially below US$0.03/kWh through Iceland's integrated geothermal and hydropower grid, with life-of-mine savings exceeding $1 billion against alternative on-site processing scenarios. The brownfield refurbishment approach uses existing buildings, deep-water harbor infrastructure, and grid connections — meaningfully reducing capital intensity versus greenfield development."Mine in Greenland. Process in Iceland. Sub-$0.03/kWh power. Life-of-mine savings exceeding $1 billion. The configuration aligns Skaergaard's development pathway with the broader strategic Western response to critical-minerals supply concentration risk."On April 2, 2026, the Company's Greenlandic subsidiary Major Precious Greenland A/S joined the Greenland Business Association — a procedural milestone that formalizes the Company's on-the-ground operating presence and signals continued engagement with Greenlandic local commerce and stakeholder networks.The Policy Tailwind Has Become Direct CapitalFor most of the past decade, the "Western critical minerals push" has been a thesis of analyst reports and policy white papers more than a structural feature of capital markets. That has changed materially in the past 18 months.In 2025, the U.S. Department of Defense took an approximately 15% equity stake in MP Materials alongside a 10-year, $110 per kilogram price floor on its neodymium-praseodymium oxide product. In January 2026, the Trump administration took an equity position in USA Rare Earth through the Department of Commerce. The administration has now made critical-minerals equity stakes or stock-purchase rights in at least ten companies, with six of those concentrated in critical minerals.In February 2026, the U.S. State Department hosted the 2026 Critical Minerals Ministerial — bringing together representatives of 54 countries and the European Commission. The ministerial coincided with EXIM Bank's approval of the $10 billion Project Vault Direct Loan for a domestic strategic reserve, plus $14.8 billion in critical-minerals-related Letters of Interest issued under the current administration.The thesis has moved from analyst footnote to balance-sheet reality. The capital is being deployed. The companies positioned in Western jurisdictions with Western-aligned ownership structures — particularly those addressing high-priority commodity gaps like PGMs and heavy rare earths — sit at the intersection of two structural tailwinds at once.Critical Minerals & Strategic Reshoring — Comparable SetFor investors evaluating exposure to the Western critical minerals reshoring thesis, a defined U.S.-listed comparable set has emerged in the past 18 months. Each name below has reported material newsflow within the past month tied to the same policy and capital-cycle dynamics that support Greenland Mines' positioning.Critical Metals Corp. (NASDAQ: CRML)Critical Metals Corp. is the closest geographic and structural comp to Greenland Mines — also Greenland-focused, also Nasdaq-listed, also an early-stage developer. On April 17, 2026, the Government of Greenland approved the transfer of the remaining 50.5% interest in the Tanbreez Mining Greenland A/S to Critical Metals Corp., bringing total ownership to 92.5% of one of the world's largest heavy rare earth deposits. The stock surged approximately 23.6% on the news, lifting market capitalization to roughly $1.4 billion. In March 2026, the Company approved a $30 million acceleration program targeting first ore production Q4 2028 / Q1 2029. CRML carries a $120 million Letter of Intent from EXIM Bank and a Texas Capital Buy rating with a $20 price target initiated April 2026 — implying material upside from recent share price levels.MP Materials Corp. (NYSE: MP)MP Materials operates the Mountain Pass rare-earth mine and processing facility in California — the only commercial-scale rare-earth mine in the U.S. and one of only two large-scale light rare-earth production facilities outside China. The Company is the most direct beneficiary of the U.S. critical minerals onshoring push, with the Department of Defense holding an approximately 15% equity stake and a 10-year price floor of $110 per kilogram on its NdPr oxide. In February 2026, MP announced selection of Northlake, Texas for a $1.25 billion rare earth magnet manufacturing facility. On April 20, 2026, Wedbush initiated coverage with an Outperform rating and $90 price target. FY2025 revenue was $275.5 million, up 35% year-over-year.USA Rare Earth, Inc. (NASDAQ: USAR)USA Rare Earth is developing the Round Top Mountain heavy rare-earths and critical minerals project in West Texas, alongside a high-powered magnet manufacturing facility in Stillwater, Oklahoma. The Trump administration took an equity stake in USAR in January 2026 through the Commerce Department — the first such government investment in heavy rare earths. The Round Top mining and processing project is targeted for opening by end of 2028, accelerated approximately two years ahead of prior projections. USA Rare Earth's acquisition of U.K.-based Less Common Metals provides a processing and metal-making hub outside China.Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE American: UUUU)Energy Fuels operates the White Mesa Mill in Utah — the only operating conventional uranium mill in the United States — and has expanded into rare earth element processing through the same facility. The Company processes monazite ore feed into separated rare earth oxides, positioning it as the only integrated U.S. uranium-and-rare-earth processor currently in commercial production. Energy Fuels' diversified strategic-minerals exposure — uranium, vanadium, and rare earth elements — provides a different angle on the same Western-onshoring thesis.NioCorp Developments Ltd. (NASDAQ: NB)NioCorp is advancing the Elk Creek Critical Minerals Project in Nebraska — one of the largest known reserves of niobium, scandium, and titanium in North America, plus rare earth potential. The Company holds a Letter of Interest from the U.S. EXIM Bank for up to $800 million in financing support, and the project is included in the U.S. Department of Energy's critical minerals strategy. The strategic logic mirrors Greenland Mines' positioning — a Western-jurisdiction developer addressing critical commodity supply gaps with structural government policy support.Investor Q&A: Three Questions on the Greenland Mines ThesisQ: Why does Greenland's jurisdiction matter for Western critical minerals supply chains?A: Greenland combines a tier-one geological endowment (PGMs, heavy rare earths, uranium) with a modern regulatory regime aligned with NATO partner Denmark — and direct U.S. strategic interest, including the February 2026 Critical Minerals Ministerial that brought together 54 countries. It is one of the few large-scale, Western-aligned mining jurisdictions outside North America with the geological scale to materially shift supply concentration risk.Q: What does the Iceland processing configuration unlock that on-site processing in Greenland can't?A: Industrial power at potentially below US$0.03/kWh through Iceland's integrated geothermal and hydropower grid, brownfield capex versus greenfield buildout, and life-of-mine savings exceeding $1 billion against alternative on-site processing scenarios. The configuration also positions output to flow directly into North American and European refining markets. The Iceland LOI is non-binding and subject to negotiation of definitive agreements.Q: How do recent U.S. government equity stakes in critical minerals companies frame the opportunity for Western-aligned developers?A: The federal government has taken positions in at least ten companies under the current administration — including a 15% DoD stake in MP Materials and a Commerce Department stake in USA Rare Earth — alongside the $10 billion EXIM Project Vault Direct Loan and $14.8 billion in critical minerals Letters of Interest. Companies in Western jurisdictions addressing high-priority commodity gaps now sit at the intersection of re-rating commodity cycles and direct government capital. Government investment programs are subject to political and budgetary risk.What to Watch From HereThree near-term catalysts will define how the Greenland Mines story develops. First, the 2026 summer field program at Skaergaard — including the SLR site visit scheduled for late August or early September — will provide the technical foundation for the next stage of NI 43-101 work and resource definition. Second, the GTK Mintec metallurgical and pilot-plant program will produce the first integrated processing flowsheet results, including critical metals recovery economics and bulk-sample concentrate characteristics. Third, the Iceland LOI may convert to a binding agreement, formalizing the North Atlantic processing corridor configuration.For investors evaluating exposure to the Western critical minerals onshoring thesis, the comparable set above (CRML, MP, USAR, UUUU, NB) represents the established U.S.-listed jurisdiction comparables. Greenland Mines represents the early-stage PGM-heavy component of the same broader thesis — a different angle on the same underlying policy and capital cycle.For more information on Greenland Mines Ltd, visit www.greenlandmines.com or the investor profile at usanewsgroup.com/grml-profile/.CONTACT:USA News Group

America's Largest Conventional Uranium Deposit Just Broke Ground on a Production RoadmapApril 15, 2026 9:44 AM
PR Newswire (Canada)

Issued on behalf of Eagle Nuclear Energy Corp.As Spot Uranium Touched $101/lb and SMR Buildouts Accelerate, One Newly-Listed Nasdaq Developer Is Quietly Becoming a Domestic Supply-Chain AnchorUSANewsGroup.com News CommentaryNEW YORK, April 15, 2026 /CNW/ -- The most consequential shift in the U.S. nuclear story over the past 18 months hasn't been a single executive order, a single SMR contract, or a single utility's reactor restart. It's been the convergence of all of them.







Uranium spot prices punched through $100/lb for the first time since 2007 in late January, hitting $101.41/lb on January 29, 2026 before a geopolitical pullback brought them back to the mid-$80s. But the more telling number is the long-term contract price — which has now climbed to $93/lb, the highest level since 2008. Cameco's president and COO Grant Isaac, speaking at the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada convention in March, made the point that matters: utilities' "uncovered requirements" — future uranium demand not yet under contract — have reached record levels."The forward demand that has yet to come to the market has never been bigger," Isaac said.That's the demand side. On the supply side, the U.S. produces a fraction of the uranium it consumes, and most of the global enrichment capacity sits in countries Washington no longer wants to depend on. The Department of Energy has responded with $2.7 billion in fresh contracts to Centrus and other domestic enrichers to offset Russian supply. The Trump administration has cut regulatory friction on uranium converters and approved deals for new reactor builds. And the Sprott Physical Uranium Trust — after a six-month lull — has bought more than 5 million pounds of uranium year-to-date, briefly pushing spot prices back to $100.Add the AI-data-center electricity buildout and reactor life extensions out to 60 years on top of all of that, and the structural picture becomes hard to argue with. Even partial follow-through on AI-era power demand would expand the uranium consumption curve by an order of magnitude.Which brings us to the developer end of the supply chain — and to one company that just confirmed a 47-hole drill program at what it describes as the largest conventional, measured and indicated uranium deposit in the United States.A Newly-Listed Nasdaq Developer Sitting on the Largest Conventional Deposit in the U.S.Today, Eagle Nuclear Energy Corp. (NASDAQ: NUCL) released its first quarter 2026 corporate update, providing the clearest view yet of how its flagship Aurora Project in southeastern Oregon is being walked through the development pipeline.The headline: a 47 diamond drill hole program totaling 27,000 feet of drilling will commence in July 2026, designed to advance Aurora toward a Pre-Feasibility Study targeted for the second half of 2027.The company has now formally filed permit applications with both the federal Bureau of Land Management and Oregon's Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI). It has engaged Harris Exploration Drilling & Associates Inc. to provide the drill rigs. And it has retained SLR International Corporation to lead the broader permitting effort. Behind the scenes, BBA USA Inc. delivered the technical Gap Analysis study that designed the drill program — optimizing hole count, location, and orientation to fill the data gaps Aurora needs to clear before the PFS lands.CEO Mark Mukhija framed it cleanly in the announcement: "During the first quarter, Eagle made significant progress as we completed our business combination with Spring Valley Acquisition Corp. II, commenced trading on the Nasdaq, and simultaneously achieved a number of key operational milestones to advance our flagship Aurora Uranium Project site."Mukhija continued: "Alongside our drill program announcement, we have moved swiftly to secure drill rigs with a premier contractor in the mining industry and file permit applications that are essential to beginning the program. Aurora anchors Eagle's long-term strategy to develop an integrated nuclear energy platform combining domestic uranium resources with advanced SMR, and these steps move us closer to this goal."That last sentence — about combining uranium resources with advanced SMR — is the part most uranium investors haven't fully priced in yet.The Resource: 32.75 Million Pounds Indicated, Plus an Adjacent Expansion AssetEagle's Aurora deposit hosts 32.75 million pounds Indicated and 4.98 million pounds Inferred U3O8 (SK-1300 Technical Report Summary), located near-surface in southeastern Oregon. The adjacent Cordex deposit offers significant potential to expand that overall resource inventory.For context: at recent long-term contract pricing of approximately $93/lb, the Indicated category alone represents in-ground value measured in the billions, before any drill-driven resource expansion or upgrade to higher confidence categories.The drill program itself is intentionally surgical. BBA optimized the 47-hole, 27,000-foot footprint to address the specific data gaps standing between Aurora and a PFS-grade resource model. The objective isn't a sprawling scout campaign — it's a focused, PFS-targeted exercise scheduled to begin in July, with a financial position to match: Eagle reported $31.3 million in cash and zero debt as of February 28, 2026.Why the SMR Angle MattersMost uranium developers sell pounds. Eagle is positioning to sell a platform.The company's stated long-term strategy is to combine domestic uranium production with exclusive Small Modular Reactor (SMR) technology — building toward an integrated nuclear platform rather than a pure mining play. That matters because the SMR market itself is undergoing one of the most aggressive capital-formation cycles in the broader energy transition. Companies like Oklo (NYSE: OKLO) and NuScale Power (NYSE: SMR) have seen valuations rerate sharply on the basis of forward design contracts and government partnerships, even before commercial-scale deployment.A vertically integrated player that owns both the fuel resource and the reactor technology occupies a structurally different position in the value chain — and one that aligns with both the U.S. supply-chain security agenda and the AI-data-center power demand curve.In March 2026, Eagle joined the Uranium Producers of America, a trade body whose membership reflects the company's stated commitment to strengthening the domestic uranium supply. The signaling is consistent with the company's broader posture: this is a company building for an environment where domestic origin and supply-chain integration carry meaningful pricing power.Recent Operational MilestonesThe Q1 2026 update outlined a tight cadence of execution:In January 2026, Eagle announced its engagement with BBA USA Inc. to develop the Gap Analysis study designed to address data gaps at Aurora and advance the project toward a PFS.In February 2026, the company completed its business combination with Spring Valley Acquisition Corp. II, with the combined company commencing trading on the Nasdaq under "NUCL" on February 25, 2026.In March 2026, Eagle selected SLR International Corporation to lead permitting and joined the Uranium Producers of America.In April 2026, the company announced the drill program, retained Harris Exploration Drilling & Associates, and formally filed its permit applications with BLM and DOGAMI.That's four major operational milestones in four months — from a company that's been publicly listed under its current ticker for less than 60 days.How the Comp Set Lines UpEagle's positioning becomes clearer when set against the broader U.S. uranium and nuclear peer group.Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE American: UUUU) is one of the most established U.S. uranium producers and mill operators, owning the only conventional uranium mill currently licensed and operating in the United States — the White Mesa Mill in Utah. Energy Fuels has historically been one of the largest U.S. producers and benefits from the same domestic supply-chain policy tailwinds Eagle is positioned to capture, with the added optionality of a rare earths processing line. For investors comparing Aurora's resource scale against an actively producing U.S. peer, UUUU is the closest reference point.Denison Mines Corp. (NYSE American: DNN) is a Canadian uranium developer focused on its Wheeler River project (Phoenix and Gryphon deposits) — one of the largest undeveloped uranium projects in the Athabasca Basin. Denison also holds a 22.5% stake in the McClean Lake joint venture, which includes a major mill currently processing ore from Cigar Lake under a toll milling agreement. The story is high-grade Canadian development versus Eagle's U.S. conventional, near-surface scale — different geology, different jurisdiction, but a useful contrast for investors thinking about what an undeveloped uranium asset can become.Oklo Inc. (NYSE: OKLO) is the SMR comparable that has captured the most market attention. The company's Aurora reactor design — somewhat ironically sharing a name with Eagle's flagship deposit — is built to run on spent nuclear fuel and has become a benchmark name for investors trying to play the SMR thesis directly. Oklo's stock chart over the past 18 months underscores how aggressively the market is willing to reward credible SMR exposure. For Eagle, OKLO represents the technology end of the value chain that NUCL's strategy is built to integrate with.NuScale Power Corporation (NYSE: SMR) is the longer-tenured U.S. SMR designer, with the most advanced regulatory positioning of any domestic SMR pure-play. NuScale's progress through the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission process and its ongoing development partnerships make it the reference name for what a permitted, deployable SMR pathway looks like in the United States. For investors trying to model what an integrated uranium-plus-SMR platform might ultimately resemble, NuScale provides the most concrete real-world analog of the reactor-side execution Eagle's strategy depends on.The pattern across the comp set is consistent: uranium producers like Energy Fuels and Denison sit on one side of the value chain, SMR designers like Oklo and NuScale sit on the other, and very few companies are credibly building toward both. Eagle is one of the few — with a near-surface resource of meaningful scale, fresh capital, and a permit-stage drill program scheduled to break ground in 90 days.The SetupThe uranium price has declared itself. The long-term contract market is signaling utility scarcity at $93/lb — the highest level since 2008. The Trump administration is actively rewriting domestic supply-chain economics. The AI buildout is rewriting the demand curve. And the SMR market is approaching the point where deployable reactor designs meet utility-scale orderbooks.Eagle Nuclear Energy is running into that environment with the largest conventional, measured and indicated uranium deposit in the U.S., a 47-hole drill program scheduled for July 2026, $31.3 million in the bank, and an integrated uranium-plus-SMR strategy that very few of its peers are even attempting.The drills go in the ground in July. The PFS is targeted for the second half of 2027. The execution clock is running.CONTINUED… Read the full press release for Eagle Nuclear Energy's First Quarter 2026 Corporate Update by clicking here.For the latest updates, visit www.eaglenuclear.com and follow Eagle Nuclear Energy on the Nasdaq under the symbol NUCL.Article Source:https://www.eaglenuclear.comCONTACT:USA News Group(604) 265-2873editor@usanewsgroup.comDISCLAIMER:Nothing in this publication should be considered as personalized financial advice.

Energy Fuels Announces First U.S. Primary Production of Critical "Heavy" Rare Earth Material in DecadesMarch 25, 2026 6:15 AM
PR Newswire (Canada)

In a major win for U.S. critical mineral supply chains, Energy Fuels successfully produces high-purity terbium oxide in Utah from ore mined in Florida and Georgia, demonstrating the first U.S. mine to oxide capability to provide a secure western source of "heavy" rare earth oxides used in key commercial and defense technologies.DENVER, March 25, 2026 /CNW/ - Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE: UUUU) (TSX: EFR), a leading U.S. producer of uranium, rare earths, and critical materials, today announced it has successfully produced its first kilogram (kg) of terbium (Tb) oxide at its White Mesa Mill in Utah. Using monazite ore sourced from the United States, the team achieved a purity of 99.9% Tb at pilot scale, which meets the specifications of global manufacturers of rare earth permanent magnets (REPMs). This achievement follows the Company's recent announcement that it had produced nearly 30 kg of 99.9% pure dysprosium (Dy) oxide production, another critical "heavy" rare earth oxide (REO) used in permanent magnets.







"This success proves we can process and produce high purity 'heavy' rare earth oxides economically and at scale in the U.S.," said Energy Fuels CEO Mark Chalmers. "North America will soon have a reliable and secure U.S. commercial source of these vital critical materials ensuring availability for high-performance magnet and defense technologies. This is just another example of the outstanding team the company has at both the Mill, and elsewhere, as the company continues to advance our strategy of becoming a world significant critical material producer."Energy Fuels believes it is the first U.S. company in many decades to produce high-purity Tb oxide from a primary mineral feedstock and publicly disclose actual production volumes and purities that are sufficient for downstream metal/alloy validation. Like the Company's Dy oxide, its Tb oxide has been requested by multiple magnet manufacturers and OEMs around the world to begin product validation. Both Dy and Tb are subject to Chinese export controls highlighting the need for secure, western supply chains.Adding Dy and Tb to permanent magnets makes a superior product for electric vehicles (EVs)/hybrid EVs, drones, robotics, and defense technologies by improving operational capabilities in high heat conditions and enabling smaller, lighter, and more powerful motors and actuators. The Mill expects to continue producing terbium oxide at an approximate rate of one kilogram per week in its existing pilot circuit, followed by pilot production of Sm, Eu, and Gd oxides.The Company also plans to expand its heavy rare earth element production capability at its existing Mill circuits for the planned commercial-level recovery of Dy, Tb, Sm, Eu and Gd, with the ability to separate other heavy rare earth elements such as Y and Lu if market conditions warrant. Subject to the receipt of required regulatory approvals and sufficient quantities of monazite sand feedstock, the expanded commercial circuit is expected to be operational as early as 2027, with planned production recovery of up to approximately 35 tonnes of Dy, 12 tonnes of Tb per year and potentially other heavy rare earth elements, in addition to the 850 – 1,000 tonnes of NdPr, from processing up to approximately 10,000 tonnes of monazite per year through existing circuits.The Company also plans to further expand its NdPr, Dy and Tb production capability and potentially other REE material production capability through the development of its stand-alone Phase 2 Circuit as early as 2029, subject to the receipt of regulatory approvals and sufficient feed materials. Upon commissioning, the Phase 2 Circuit is expected to increase the Mill's rare earth oxide production capacity to over 6,000 tpa of NdPr oxide, along with approximately 80 tpa of Tb and 288 tpa of Dy oxides. This would provide the capability to produce sufficient NdPr for up to approximately 7.0 million EVs/hybrid EVs per year.Moving forward, the Company expects to continue purchasing monazite concentrates from U.S. companies and to import additional significant quantities from allied nations, including Energy Fuels' "shovel-ready" Donald Project in Australia, massive Vara Mada Project in Madagascar, and prospective Bahia Project in Brazil. The Company is also planning to install circuits at the Mill to enable the processing of mixed rare earth concentrates (MREC) for both "light" and "heavy" rare earth oxides, subject to receipt of regulatory approvals. MREC is a partially processed, intermediate rare earth material.About Energy FuelsEnergy Fuels is a leading U.S. critical materials company specializing in uranium, rare earth elements, heavy mineral sands, vanadium, and medical isotopes.

Energy Fuels Announces 2025 Results and 2026 GuidanceFebruary 26, 2026 7:01 PM
PR Newswire (Canada)

Increased uranium sales, over one million pounds of low-cost U.S. uranium production, successful ongoing heavy rare earth pilot production, and completion of upsized $700 million 0.75% convertible senior notes boosts working capital to near $1 billion.DENVER, Feb. 26, 2026 /CNW/ - Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR) ("Energy Fuels" or the "Company"), a leading U.S. producer of uranium, rare earth elements ("REEs"), and other critical minerals, today reported its financial and operational results for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company previously announced details for its upcoming February 27, 2026, earnings call.







"2025 was a breakout year for Energy Fuels, as we achieved numerous operational, ramp-up, and growth milestones that we believe set the stage for significant future cashflow generation, market differentiation, and competitive advantages in the critical material space in the next few years," said Mark Chalmers, Energy Fuels' Chief Executive Officer. "As a result, we have raised our profile among investors, customers, and governments to be recognized as, not only the largest and lowest cost U.S. uranium producer, but also as an emerging global critical materials leader."In our uranium segment, we ended the year exceeding 2025 guidance on all metrics, including mining, production, and sales, while lowering our unit costs. Our uranium revenue is ramping up, and we signed two new long-term contracts with major utilities that are expected to increase our portfolio pricing in the coming years. In addition, we are investing significantly in our industry-leading U.S. assets, as we expect to remain the country's uranium leader for many years to come."Equally impressive has been our progress in rare earth processing and production. Energy Fuels' rare earth products have been confirmed, qualified, and used by manufacturers for EVs and hybrid EVs. In 2025, we made considerable investments in our rare earth segment. We strongly believe now is the time to capture opportunities, as vertical integration and access to low-cost 'molecules' are the key to higher margins, increased market share, and overall competitiveness in the space. In years past, we invested 'upstream' by securing low-cost rare earth feedstock at our Donald joint venture in Australia, Vara Mada project in Madagascar, and Bahia project in Brazil. Now, we are investing 'downstream', including our recently announced proposed acquisition of Australian Strategic Materials ("ASM"), which upon completion, will expand our reach into highly coveted rare earth metals and alloys. The proposed acquisition of ASM will also bring another potential material source of feedstock from the Dubbo project located in NSW, Australia.Ross Bhappu, President of Energy Fuels, added "We recently released feasibility studies for several of our development projects, including the proposed Phase 2 Circuit expansion of our rare earth processing at the White Mesa Mill in Utah and our Vara Mada project in Madagascar, demonstrating impressive net present values and future cashflows. The combined NPV of the Phase 2 Circuit and the Vara Mada project is $3.7 billion, or $15.26 per share (based on current shares outstanding), with expected EBITDA of $765 million for the first 15 years when the Phase 2 Circuit is combined with the expected EBITDA from the Vara Mada project over those years. "With an estimated capital cost of $410 million for the Phase 2 Circuit and an estimated all-in production cost of $29.39/kg NdPr equivalent produced from our Vara Mada project, we believe our REE oxide production ranks among the lowest capital and operating costs globally.Mr. Bhappu continued, "We believe interest in Energy Fuels is accelerating as customers, governments, and investors favor companies like us that deliver on promises. We think we are turning a corner, as past investments could generate substantial cashflows and profits across several segments by decade's end."Succession Planning Update:The Company's succession plans are proceeding as expected and, in accordance with existing employment agreements, it is anticipated that Mr. Ross Bhappu, the President of the Company, will be appointed to the role of President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company on April 15, 2026, and Mr. Mark Chalmers,  the current CEO, will be retiring at the same time which is his planned retirement date. Upon his retirement, Mr. Chalmers will continue as a consultant to the Company exclusively for two years to support, as required, Mr. Bhappu and others in the Company with current and future growth initiatives.2025 HighlightsUnless noted otherwise, all dollar amounts are in U.S. dollars.Financial Highlights:Robust Balance Sheet with Over $900 million of Liquidity: As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $927.4 million of working capital, including $64.7 million of cash and cash equivalents, $797.1 million of marketable securities (short-term, interest-bearing securities and uranium equities), $18.0 million of trade and other receivables, and $73.5 million of inventory, which puts the Company in a strong position to continue to advance its projects.Completed Upsized $700 Million Convertible Senior Notes Offering: On October 3, 2025, the Company closed its upsized offering of 0.75% Convertible Senior Notes due in 2031 for an aggregate principal amount of $700.0 million, including the exercise in full by the initial purchasers of their option to purchase an additional $100.0 million of notes, on a deal led by Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC. The notes have a conversion price of $20.34 per common share of Energy Fuels ("Common Share"), which represented a premium of approximately 32.5% to the last reported sale price of the Common Shares on the NYSE American on September 30, 2025, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The effective conversion price of the notes was increased to $30.70 (representing a premium of 100% over the last reported sale price of the Common Shares on the NYSE American on September 30, 2025) through the purchase of capped call transactions.Net Loss of $86 Million: The Company incurred a net loss of $86.1 million or $0.38 per share, which is an increase from a net loss of $47.8 million or $0.28 per share for 2024. The increase was primarily due to higher ongoing costs as expected following the acquisition of Base Resources Limited in Q4 2024, including approximately $15.0 million increased ongoing selling, general and administrative costs associated with an expanded workforce to effectively progress the Company's global operations. Exploration and development costs were approximately $9.0 million higher to progress our projects, including: further exploration and development activities relating to the Juniper Zone at the Pinyon Plain Project, development at the La Sal Project, exploration at the Bahia Project and delineation drilling at Nichols Ranch. The Company also incurred approximately $6.9 million in charges for changes in Madagascar tax law and exploration projects the Company is no longer pursuing as it focuses on its core projects. Additionally, the average month end spot prices for uranium were approximately 13.8% lower in 2025 verses 2024 thereby reducing our revenues per pound.Uranium Milestones:$48 Million in Revenue: The Company sold 650,000 pounds of U3O8 at a weighted average realized price of $74.21 per pound for total uranium revenues of $48.2 million. Spot market sales totaled 350,000 pounds for revenue of $26.9 million at a weighted average realized price of $76.90 per pound, while long-term contract sales totaled 300,000 pounds for revenue of $21.3 million at a weighted average realized price of $71.06 per pound.Mined Over 1.7 Million Pounds of Contained U3O8: The Company continued mining at its Pinyon Plain, La Sal, and Pandora mines with combined mined ore and mineralized material containing approximately 1,720,000 pounds of U3O8. At its Pinyon Plain mine, the Company mined ore containing approximately 1,530,000 pounds of U3O8 with an average grade of approximately 1.62% eU3O8, which the Company believes makes Pinyon Plain one of the highest-grade uranium mines in U.S. history.Processed and Produced Over 1.0 Million Pounds of Finished U3O8: The Company processed and produced 1,015,000 pounds of finished U3O8 in 2025. The Company commenced its conventional ore processing campaign at the White Mesa Mill in Utah (the "Mill") in Q4 2025 as planned, which is expected to continue through Q2 2026 and is expected to support contracted U3O8 deliveries and potential spot sales in 2026. See below for further details.Two New Long-Term Utility Contracts: The Company entered into two new long-term uranium contracts in Q4 2025 with U.S. nuclear power generating companies, expanding its portfolio to six long-term uranium contracts with deliveries extended out to 2032. Both contracts retain exposure to uranium market upside by utilizing hybrid pricing, whereby a portion of the final sales price is calculated on a base escalated price with the other portion based on the spot price at the time of delivery, subject to floors and ceilings.Well-Stocked to Meet Long-term Contract Obligations and Capture Market Opportunities: Due to mined ore production at the Pinyon Plain, La Sal and Pandora mines, as well as processing and production at the Mill, the Company is well-stocked to meet its upcoming long-term uranium contract sales and potential spot sales as market conditions warrant. The Company's inventory balances at the end of 2025 were as follows:Ore, mineralized material and raw materials (contained pounds of U3O8)1,240,000Work-in-process (contained pounds of U3O8)130,000Finished pounds of U3O8810,000Total pounds of finished and contained U3O82,180,000Exceeded 2025 Guidance: The Company exceeded its production and sales guidance for 2025, which is summarized as follows:

2,000,000(1) Assumes the current conventional uranium Mill run continues through Q2 2026, but could be longer depending on availability of stockpiled ore and mineralized materials available for processing. The Company is also looking at various additional REE processing capabilities at the Mill later in 2026. The Mill is expected to restart uranium processing in Q1 2027, but this could be sooner or later, depending on circumstances.(2) Subject to sales of inventory into the spot market depending on market conditions.Uranium Costs Reduced in Q4-2025 with Further Declines Expected in 2026: The Company commenced processing low-cost Pinyon Plain mine ores in Q4 2025, which is expected to continue through Q2 2026, during which we expect to process 1.5 to 2.5 million pounds of finished U3O8 in 2026. During that Mill run, the average mining and transportation costs to the Mill for Pinyon Plain ore are expected to continue to be approximately $10 to $14 per pound of recovered U3O8, which together with expected milling costs to continue to be approximately $13 to $16 per pound of recovered U3O8, are expected to continue to result in a total weighted average cost of approximately $23 to $30 per pound of recovered uranium, ranking among the lowest costs for mined uranium production in the world. These high-grade Pinyon Plain ores are expected to be blended and processed with a relatively small quantity of lower grade, higher cost, La Sal/Pandora mineralized material at the Company's discretion. The Company's finished inventories of U3O8 had a weighted average cost of approximately $43 per pound as of December 31, 2025, reflecting the weighted average cost of production and purchase of finished inventories from various sources over the years, as the Company continued to ramp up production and maximize economies of scale, including from Alternate Feed Materials, the La Sal/Pandora mines, low-grade mine clean-up materials, and purchases of uranium on the spot market. These costs do not fully reflect the expected lower costs of recently mined ores from the Pinyon Plain mine, which had only been processed and added to finished inventories commencing in early October (a conventional ore processing run, including Pinyon Plain and La Sal/Pandora ores, commenced at the Mill in early October 2025).Pinyon Plain Update: The Company updated its existing S-K 1300 and NI 43-101 compliant pre-feasibility study, which was furnished through a Form 8-K filing on February 26, 2026. Due to the high grades encountered during mining in the Main Zone that were not included in the original pre-feasibility the Mineral Resource model was re-estimated. Additionally, new drilling completed by Company in the Juniper Zone allowed those Mineral Resources to be converted from inferred to indicated Mineral Resources and then converted to probable Mineral Reserves. As of December 31, 2025, the remaining Mineral Reserves in the Main Zone totaled 2.1 million pounds U3O8 and the Mineral Reserves for the Juniper Zone totaled 0.5 million pounds U3O8, acknowledging that further exploration potential exists in the Juniper Zone. The Company intends to continue exploration in the Juniper Zone during 2026.Nichols Ranch and Whirlwind Update: The Company continues to advance rehabilitation, development and readiness activities at its Whirlwind mine in Colorado and Nichols Ranch ISR project in Wyoming. With strong market conditions and sufficient contracting activity, the Company believes these projects could support an increase in uranium production by up to approximately 600,000 pounds of U3O8 per year as early as 2027, subject to market conditions.Pipeline of Permitted and Advanced Uranium Projects to Support Long-Term Growth: The Company continued advancing permitting and development work on its large-scale uranium projects including Roca Honda (New Mexico) and Bullfrog (Utah), which together with Sheep Mountain (Wyoming) have the potential to expand the Company's uranium production by over 5.0 million pounds of U3O8 per year in the coming years, subject to market conditions and contracting.Uranium Price Update: The spot price of U3O8 is $89.50 per pound and the long-term price of U3O8 is $90.00 per pound, according to price data from TradeTech as of February 20, 2026.Rare Earth Element Milestones:Planned Expansion of Phase 1 Circuit: The Company is planning enhancements to expand its heavy REE production at its existing Phase 1 Circuit at the Mill, for the planned commercial-level recovery of dysprosium ("Dy"), terbium ("Tb"), samarium ("Sm"), europium ("Eu") and gadolinium ("Gd"), with the ability to separate other heavy REEs such as Yttrium and Lutetium if market conditions warrant. Subject to receipt of all required regulatory approvals, financing, the successful development of these enhancements and the receipt of sufficient quantities of monazite sand feedstock, the expanded Phase 1 Circuit is expected to be operational in 2027 for the production of up to 35 tonnes of Dy, 12 tonnes of Tb per year and potentially other heavy REEs, in addition to the 850 – 1,000 tonnes of neodymium-praseodymium ("NdPr"), from processing up to approximately 10,000 tonnes of monazite per year. The Company had previously announced its intention to start commercial production of Dy and Tb by the end of 2026, but has changed those plans in order to expand the enhancements to the Mill's Phase 1 Circuit to allow for the additional production of Sm, Eu and Gd and to provide the ability to separate other heavy REEs in the 2027 time frame.At the same time these enhancements are being made to the Phase 1 Circuit, the Company plans to make further enhancements to the Phase 1 Circuit to allow for the processing of uranium- and REE-bearing mixed rare earth carbonate ("MREC") or similar intermediary REE products from third-party sources in the Phase 1 Circuit, subject to receipt of all regulatory approvals, financing and the successful development of these further enhancements. As MREC or similar intermediate REE products would not need to utilize the Phase 1 Circuit's crack and leach circuits, it is expected that such products could be separated into NdPr and heavy REEs separately from uranium production, thereby allowing such feedstocks to be separated into REE oxides through the Phase 1 Circuit's SX circuits without interfering with normal Mill conventional uranium ore processing. These enhancements are expected to be made, and the Phase 1 Circuit operational to accept MREC and similar intermediary REE products in 2027. Multiple magnet manufacturers and OEMs have expressed strong interest in obtaining Dy, Tb and Sm samples, further validating the Company's strategy to establish a fully non-Chinese rare earth supply chain for commercial and defense applications.Phase 2 Expansion Planned to Enable Large-Scale Production of Light and Heavy REEs: In January 2026, the Company announced results of an AACE International (AACE) Class 3 Bankable Feasibility Study ("BFS") supporting the planned Phase 2 expansion. Highlights of the planned Phase 2 expansion include:Upon commissioning, Energy Fuels' Phase 2 Circuit is expected to become one of the world's largest and lowest cost producers of 'light' and 'heavy' rare earth oxides. The Mill has the current installed recovery in its existing Phase 1 Circuit to produce roughly 1,000 tonnes per annum ("tpa") NdPr. The Phase 2 Circuit will increase total expected production recovery (from the Phase 1 Circuit and Phase 2 Circuit) to over 6,000 tpa of NdPr (along with approximately 60 tpa of Tb and 200 tpa of Dy).A $1.9 billion NPV8%, or $7.96 per share (based on current outstanding shares), and IRR of 33% (after-tax) for the Phase 2 Circuit, which does not include the Company's recently announced Vara Mada Project or any of the Company's other heavy mineral sands ("HMS")/monazite projects, all of which are expected to supply REE ore to the Mill for processing into REE oxides.The NPV increases to $3.7 billion, or $15.26 per share (based on current shares outstanding), when the Phase 2 Circuit is combined with the recently announced $1.8 billion NPV from the Company's Vara Mada Project.$311 million of average annual EBITDA for the first 15 years from the Phase 2 Circuit, not including expected EBITDA from the Company's existing Phase 1 Circuit, recently announced expected project-level EBITDA from the Company's Vara Mada project, project-level EBITDA from any of the Company's other HMS/monazite projects, or the Company's U.S. industry leading uranium production.Expected average annual EBITDA increases to $765 million for the first 15 years when the Phase 2 Circuit is combined with the recently announced expected EBITDA from the Company's Vara Mada project over those years.Annual expected REE oxide production (recovered) over the 40-year modeled life of the project from the Phase 2 Circuit alone:5,513 tpa NdPr48 tpa Tb165 tpa Dy1,080 tpa SEG concentrate (samarium, europium and gadolinium)748 tpa Ho+ concentrate (Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu and Y)198,000 pounds per year uranium (U3O8), which is in addition to the Company's U.S.-leading uranium production from its Pinyon Plain, La Sal and other conventional uranium mines.With an estimated capital cost of $410 million for the Phase 2 Circuit and an estimated all-in production cost of $29.39/kg NdPr equivalent produced from our Vara Mada project, we believe our REE oxide production ranks among the lowest capital and operating costs globally.The Company has not yet made a final investment decision ("FID") with respect to the Phase 2 Circuit.Planned Phase 1 and Phase 2 Expansion Recoveries:Phase

Approximately 1.2 metric tonnes of NdPr oxide were processed into approximately 3.0 metric tonnes of REPMs, enough to power approximately 1,500 new vehicles, and the magnets passed all quality assurance and quality control benchmarks for use in EV and hybrid applications.Strategic Collaboration with Vulcan Elements to Strengthen U.S. Magnet Supply Chains: In August 2025, the Company signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Vulcan Elements to advance a secure, ex-China supply chain for rare earth permanent magnets. Under the collaboration, the Company will supply high-purity NdPr and Dy oxides for validation in Vulcan's magnet manufacturing processes, with the intent to consider negotiating longer-term supply arrangements following validation.Technology Applicable to a Wide Range of Feedstocks: Unlike other companies who are experimenting with "heavy" REE production via recycling, we believe Energy Fuels is the only U.S. company producing separated "heavy" REE oxides from commercial REE ores. The REE separation techniques being utilized by Energy Fuels can also be applied to a wide range of feedstocks, including MREC and recycled materials.REE Price Update: European NdPr, Dy and Tb prices were $130/kg, $1,125/kg and $4,500/kg, respectively, as of February 19, 2026, according to price data from Benchmark Mineral Intelligence.Heavy Mineral Sands:Vara Mada Project (formerly known as the "Toliara Project"): On January 8, 2026, the Company announced results of an updated Feasibility Study ("FS"), prepared in accordance with U.S. Regulation S-K 1300 and Canadian NI 43-101, confirming the project's world-class scale, long mine life and robust economics. Based on the FS, the project is expected to have a modeled mine life of approximately 38 years and is projected to generate a post-tax, pre-debt net present value (10% discount rate) of approximately $1.8 billion and a post-tax internal rate of return of approximately 25%, with the potential to ramp up to over $500 million of annual EBITDA and generate average annual free cash flow of approximately $264 million over the modeled mine life. Advancement of the Vara Mada Project remains subject to a positive FID, regulatory approvals and the resolution of outstanding fiscal and permitting matters with the Government of Madagascar.Since acquiring the Project, the Company has been in discussions with the Government of Madagascar to establish the necessary legal regime to support development of the Project, which will be required before a positive FID can be made. These discussions have been focused on, among other things, mechanisms for achieving legal and fiscal stability, select tax and custom benefits, necessary adjustments to foreign exchange rules, protections from expropriation and access to international arbitration for dispute resolution. The Company has also been seeking clarification of existing procedures for adding monazite to the Project's mining permit, which currently allows for the production of ilmenite, rutile, and zircon. Recent discussions with the Government have focused on addressing these issues through an investment agreement to be approved by Parliament or through revisions to existing Malagasy law applicable to large-scale mining investments.On October 17, 2025, a new President of Madagascar was sworn in by the Country's High Constitutional Court following a period of social unrest and political instability that resulted in the removal of the Country's prior President. On October 20, 2025, a new Prime Minister was appointed, and on October 28, 2025, a new cabinet was announced. At this time, it is too early to determine whether and to what extent recent social and political developments in Madagascar may impact the Vara Mada Project, whether positively or negatively, including with respect to the Project's development prospects or timelines, the ability to achieve suitable fiscal or other terms applicable to the Project or the ability to achieve a positive FID. These developments have not had an impact on the financial results of the Company at this time. The Company will continue to monitor events as they unfold.There can be no assurance of achieving sufficient legal and fiscal stability or the timing thereof, or obtaining approval of the addition of monazite to the mining permit or the timing thereof. If such approvals are not obtained, or obtained on terms less favorable than expected, this could delay any FID in relation to the Vara Mada Project or prevent or otherwise have a significant effect on the development of the Vara Mada Project or ability to recover monazite from the Vara Mada Project.Donald Project: The Company continued to advance the Donald Project, a large monazite-rich HMS project in Australia, pursuant to its joint venture with Astron Corporation Limited. Having received the final major regulatory approval required to construct and operate the Donald Project, along with advancing commercial and financing avenues, the Company expects that an FID could be made on the Donald Project as early as Q1 2026. The Donald Project is of particular interest as the monazite concentrate has exceptional concentrations of the "heavy" rare earth elements, including Dy, Tb, and Sm.Bahia Project: The Company resumed drilling at the Bahia Project in Q4 2025 after securing its exploration permit, aiming to complete S-K 1300 and NI 43-101 reports by late 2026.Medical Isotope Highlights:The Company continues to advance its medical isotope initiatives to separate critical radioisotopes to support plans for the development and production of medical isotopes used in cancer treatments.The Company is currently completing test work and engineering on its research and development ("R&D") pilot facility for radium-226 ("Ra-226") production. In parallel, the Company continued efforts related to obtaining the required licensing and advancing engineering work for the potential concentration of R&D quantities of radium-228 ("Ra-228") at the Mill.During 2026, Energy Fuels plans to continue test work and design and to commission and begin operating a pilot facility to produce R&D quantities of Ra-226 for testing by end-users of the product. Upon successful production of R&D quantities of Ra-226, Energy Fuels plans to develop capabilities at the Mill for the commercial-scale production of Ra-226 and potentially Ra-228 by as early as 2028, conditional on completion of engineering design, securing sufficient offtake agreements for final radium production and receipt of all required regulatory approvals.Mr. Chalmers continued:"We invite all stakeholders to join us in our upcoming February 27, 2026, earnings call, details of which are below, to learn more about our exciting achievements."Conference Call and Webcast at 9:00 AM MT (11:00 AM ET) on Friday, February 27, 2026:Conference call access with the ability to ask questions:To instantly join the conference call by phone, please use the following link to easily register your name and phone number.

Australia has the largest uranium reserves in the world,
UUUU is (own's) mining in AUSTRALIA
I know FOR Rare EARTH Minerals, but what about URANIUM.....

Kazakhstan's uranium era is peaking — and that's why Cameco Corp (NYSE:CCJ) and Energy Fuels Inc (AMEX:UUUU) are stepping into the spotlight.

For decades, the country has supplied about 40% of global uranium, keeping fuel plentiful and prices tame. Now its biggest mines are nearing peak output, with existing production set to fall sharply over the next two decades.

In a market where it takes nearly 20 years to move from discovery to production, that isn't just bad timing — it's a structural supply shock in slow motion.

• Energy Fuels stock is showing exceptional strength. Why is UUUU stock surging?

Kazakhstan's Slow-Motion Uranium Shortage
Even if companies began drilling aggressively today, new pounds wouldn't arrive in time to offset Kazakhstan's decline. Exploration spending remains thin, permitting is slow, and mine construction is capital-heavy.

Meanwhile, demand is quietly rising as governments revive nuclear for energy security, grid stability and carbon reduction — not least to power AI data centers.

Put simply: supply is rolling over, demand is firming up, and higher prices look like math, not a guess. That backdrop hands the spotlight to producers outside Kazakhstan.

Very Doable.......Sooner than Later

It'l go into the upper 30's/ low 40's in due time. There is just to much positive criteria with uranium an metals

Buy and hold......OR JUST HOLD what you already got

Wow another buy oppertunity unfolding

Nice bounce today, the power of uranium will be here for a long time. $$$$$

Trump’s AI deal for Silicon Valley: Build your own nuclear, skip years of regulation

If this happens the demand for Uranium will Rapidly increasing.

$25 !!, UUUU$, gl...

30? This could travel upwards to 50's! This company is setting the standards for rare earth minerals an the US is behind it!

How long until we are at $30?

From under 5!, still holding several lots here $$$$$$

Data center will need LOTS of Electricity, then there is the EV movement.
MO POWER. MO POWER
but there will have to be MO POWER TO THE PEOPLE.
Can you say URAINE Nuclear POWER .....

..ditto..holding for much higher this one UUUU$, gl...

Thanks....
Like to see UUUU back above $20.00 soon

Energy Fuels Says 2025 Uranium Production, Sales to Exceed Previous Guidance
07:01:04 AM ET, 12/29/2025 - MT Newswires

07:01 AM EST, 12/29/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Energy Fuels (UUUU) said Monday it exceeded its previous guidance for finished uranium production, mined uranium ore production and uranium concentrate sales for 2025.

The company said that its Pinyon Plain Mine in Arizona and La Sal Complex in Utah produced more than 1.6 million pounds of uranium in 2025, exceeding guidance by about 11%.

The White Mesa Mill in Utah produced over one million pounds of finished U3O8 this year, exceeding the top end of its guidance. The company said it plans to maintain current milling rates, which averaged around 250,000 pounds of U3O8 per month, through H1 2026, before shifting to commercial-scale production of heavy rare earth elements dysprosium and terbium for the rest of the year.

For Q4, Energy Fuels expects to sell 360,000 pounds of U3O8, a 50% increase from the previous quarter. Gross U3O8 sales revenue for Q4 is expected to be $27 million.

Meanwhile, the company said it has signed two new long-term U3O8 sales contracts with US nuclear power producers for 2027 to 2032. During that period, the company expects delivery volumes totaling between 2.41 million and 4.41 million pounds of U3O8 from six existing long-term contracts.

In 2026, Energy Fuels expects to sell 780,000 to 880,000 pounds of U3O8 under its long-term agreements, with the possibility of additional spot and term market sales.

Energy Fuels shares were up more than 5% in recent pre-bell activity Monday.

Energy Fuels Inc. (AN AMERICAN COMPANY) is a key player in the energy sector, focusing on uranium production.
But what makes this company stand out...?
OTHER THAN THEY JUST BOUGHT A RATH EARTH MINING COMPANY....
THAT is a RARE EARTH COMPAY NOT RATH EARTH

The TRUMP admin may want to USE an uranium production Co in AMERICA

But what makes this company stand out...?
OTHER THAN THEY JUST BOUGHT A RATH EARTH MINING COMPANY
Known for its significant contributions to the nuclear fuel industry, Energy Fuels Inc. operates the only conventional uranium mill in the United States.

15 Facts About Energy Fuels Inc.
https://facts.net/society-and-social-sciences/society/15-facts-about-energy-fuels-inc-uuuu-stock/

..true enough but Cameco?..over America first UUUU UEC, etc??...

Private money is afraid of THE POLITICS......
Has NOTHING to DO with Mining.....
For the first time in a generation, the stars have aligned for a nuclear energy comeback. Public support is rising. Bipartisan enthusiasm is real. Demand for power is surging
Why We’re Not Building Large Nuclear Reactors?......MONEY.......
Attracting private equity capital to kickstart the construction of large-scale nuclear reactors will require a favorable investment backdrop that, in turn, will depend on greater regulatory certainty
While there is a need for continued government credit support in the form of low-cost loans and loan guarantees (all of which would be repaid upon completion), this should fall away as more commercial lending channels are put into place for nuclear project financing deals. The key will be to demonstrate a first proof of concept; then the U.S. government can step back and allow private financial markets to take over.
TRUMP is trying to DRAIN the SWAMP of all the POLITICS.....Takes time...VOTE

What happened to USA first???: https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/westinghouse-electric-cameco-corp-brookfield-asset-management-80-bln-nuclear-2025-10-28/

Reversal $14-$16

Down Big today......Oh WELL......

Thanks, I Didn't see this before..
Looks like UUUU is the only company that mines for Rare Earth and Uranium.
I wonder how many of those other companies HAVE a plant to process the RARE EARTH as well.... LIKE UUUU DOES
https://baseresources.com.au/

Yes, I am aware.

There is a graphic that someone made that shows some of the possible public companies that the federal government might invest in and $UUUU is on it (2x).

UUUU is also a rare Earth material company......
Energy Fuels recently acquired Base Resources Limited, as a part of its diversification into rare earth elements.
https://www.energyfuels.com/base-resources/

<< The U.S. government has taken a significant stake in Nvidia >>

I think you mean $INTC. The US gov't has also invested in $MP, $TMQ, and $LAC (all rare Earth materials companies).

Earnings report in 9 (NOV 4th) days.....
SHOULD be INTERESTING....
