London has been beautiful for this week’s @WorldNuclear Working Group meetings - learned a lot as always.

World #Nuclear Fuel Cycle meeting kicking off now with Treva from @U3O8TradeTech discussing #uranium fundamentals with @cameconews @Oranogroup @NAC_Kazatomprom Jason Murphy from @ConstellationEG giving a great talk on the company’s #nuclear fleet - very impressive stats all around. Emphasized that the company intends to pursue life extensions to 80 years for the whole fleet. Also- contracting strategy starts 6 years before any reload!

1/ Lots of folks asking about @NAC_Kazatomprom $KAP today given it's relative underperformance vs. the broader #uranium sector - a few short thoughts. 2/ First, today's sharp drop and brief halt was triggered by a shift in GDR treatment by a number of major western banks. Goldman Sachs told us they could no longer accept London GDR orders due to uncertainty with respect to ongoing settlement of Clearstream and Euroclear.

1/ Some quick takeaways from this morning's @NAC_Kazatomprom management call with new CEO Mr. Mazhit Sharipov. Note that due to the Russian to English translation, some of the transcript is choppy.

They are also seeing supply chain impacts to their production and cost base. Also seeing tightening supply and increased customer interest.

Just touched down in Savannah, GA for the @NEI International #Uranium Fuel Seminar, the #nuclear industry’s first in person conference in almost two years. Should be an interesting few days… stay tuned for updates! Pretty direct messaging from Kazatomprom $KAP to kick things off. Major focus on security of supply and the need for committed long term contracts to drive #uranium production decisions.

1/ Some brief thoughts on $SPUT / $U-U and why it trading lower on today's open is a good thing for #uranium -- Yesterday's daily update showed that #Sprott did not purchase material or issue units. 2/ This confounded some investors, given the close to 30% premium of the vehicle...

There is a simple explanation: While updating an ATM, it is common to have limitations on market activities.

1/ A thread on Nexgen’s Arrow & the #uranium cycle ($NXE)

2/ Given the scale and cost structure of Arrow, it makes sense that investors are intensely focused on its delivery timeline. This thread will discuss possible timelines, current market expectations (i.e., what’s “priced in”) & how different Arrow scenarios will impact the mkt.

My tweet regarding the $EU last night clearly rubbed some people the wrong way. While not entirely unexpected, I thought I would explain our motivations for tweeting on the topic and clarify a few points. A long thread:

As I noted in several responses to my initial Encore tweet, the goal was not to attack management. While we do not have much of a relationship with Bill, we like and respect Paul and have known him for years.

There seems to be some confusion on the $YCA #uranium option - how to exercise, order of events, some idea of a credit line?!?

Here is a short thread on how it would work:

1) Yellowcake management submits an exercise notice to $KAP signaling an intent to raise capital to buy U 2) KAP has some time period to respond with an indicative price which is then verified by $YCA management as "market" when compared to third party price reporters

3) Once a price and indicated size is agreed upon, THEN management has a couple weeks to raise capital in the market
