Three Glowing Uranium Stocks To Watch

On January 24, 2024, Fiona Harvey with The Guardian reported that uranium prices are expected to break records next year as a result of the global move away from fossil fuels and initiatives on the part of several countries, including India and China, to bring new reactors online. According to the report, France aims to increase its share of nuclear power.

Interest in nuclear power has been renewed as countries look for power sources that reduce their emissions while keeping up with the growing global demand for electrical power.

Earlier this month, on January 15, 2024, Christian Moess Laursen with the Wall Street Journal reported that uranium prices were higher than they had been in over 15 years. The jump was prompted by an announcement from Kazatomprom (KAP:LSE), a nationalized uranium producer from Kazakhstan, that it would not be reaching its production goals for 2024 and 2025.

This coverage followed a report predating the announcement by Kazatomprom by Jinjoo Leefrom WSJ on January 9, 2024, which reported that the increase in uranium prices would last for quite some time and intensify as supply continued to constrict.

MarketWatch observed that the price for a pound of uranium was higher than it ever has been since 2007 at US$103, representing a 90% increase in price in 2023. 

The recent National Opportunity to Restore Uranium Supply Services in America Act and the Prohibiting Russian Uranium Imports Act should slim down uranium supplies even further, according to a report from December 19, 2023, by Katusa Research. Russia is America's largest source of uranium. The bills were put forward in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine and should raise the value of uranium sourced outside of Russia significantly. 

If major uranium producers continue to struggle to meet demand, it seems clear that prices will continue to skyrocket. Savvy investors may want to keep an eye on uranium stocks for the foreseeable future.

Skyharbour Resources Ltd.

Skyharbour Resources Ltd. (SYH:TSX.V; SYHBF:OTCQX; SC1P:FSE) announced in a press release on January 30, 2024, that it had begun its winter drill program on its two flagship projects, the Russell Lake and Moore uranium projects. 

The drilling is expected to include 8,000m in the Athabasca Basin, and 18 to 22 drill holes across both properties. The company reports that it is fully funded and permitted for the project.

Jordan Trimble, the CEO and President of Skyharbour, commented, "We are thrilled to begin the winter drilling at our co-flagship Russell and Moore projects and anticipate plenty of news flow with ongoing, fully-funded programs right through the year. We are confident in the discovery potential and exploration upside at both projects given the high-grade mineralization in historical drill holes along with the many highly prospective target areas hosting the geology necessary for high-grade uranium deposition."

Skyharbour's partner, Azincourt Energy Corp. (AAZ:TSX.V; AZURF:OTC), recently released its drill plan for the East Preston uranium project on January 25, 2024, where it expects to conduct between 1,000m and 1,500m of drilling in the Athabasca Basin. Skyharbour has a joint venture partnership with Azincourt, where Skyharbour holds a minority interest of 9.5% in the East Preston project. 

In a press release on January 18, 2024, the company revealed that it had acquired several new prospective uranium exploration claims through online staking and through an agreement with Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. contributing to Skyharbour's large property portfolio, all of which are prospective for uranium. 

These acquisitions have expanded Skyharbour's portfolio by 30,184 acres and have the potential to bring in new partnerships for the company.

Technical Analyst Clive Maund reviewed the company on January 7, 2024, and commented that he believes the company is at an excellent place for new investors to buy in. Maund commented, "The accumulation line has held up very well on the correction, almost flatlining, which is bullish."

A Fundamental Research Corp. report from December 15, 2023, by Siddharth Rajeev rated Skyharbour as a "Buy," with a target share price of CA$0.97 per share and a potential return on investment of 119%.
