Uranium Stock Looks Ready To Break Out Into a Bull Market
Contributed Opinion

Technically, this looks like an excellent point at which to pick up North Shore Uranium Ltd. (NSU:TSX) stock. Before looking at its chart we will now drill down swiftly and succinctly into the fundamentals to see why North Shore is such a good investment.

Having now gotten over Fukushima, the nuclear power industry is in growth mode and is deemed to be of critical importance in meeting CO2 emission reduction goals with the recent COP28 declaration to triple nuclear power by 2050. The uranium price has surpassed its 2007 highs and is in a vigorous uptrend, and this is reflected in the powerful bull markets that we are seeing in big uranium stocks like Cameco Corp. (CCO:TSX; CCJ:NYSE), and we are now seeing increased "trickledown" into the mid-cap and smaller stocks.

North Shore's exploration properties are situated in the prolific Athabasca basin in Saskatchewan, Canada, which is home to the world's highest-grade uranium deposits that provide over 20% of the world's uranium supply. Whilst North Shore's Falcon claims are technically just outside the perimeter boundary of the Athabasca basin, as can be seen on the map below, new exploration methods and technical developments have yielded multiple significant discoveries on and near the perimeter of the basin where there is the advantage of much less overburden than exists towards the center of the basin.

North Shore's exploration claims are close to properties where mines have already been constructed and are in operation, such as Cigar Lake, McCarther River, McClean Lake, and Key Lake, this last one being very close to the company's Falcon claim and big names in the industry are working these mines such as Cameco, Denison Mines Corp. (DML:TSX; DNN:NYSE.MKT), NexGen Energy Ltd. (NXE:TSX; NXE:NYSE.MKT), and Rio Tinto Plc (RIO:NYSE; RIO:ASX; RIO:LSE; RTPPF:OTCPK).

Since they are in the same belt along the east side of the Athabasca basin, the prospects for significant discoveries on North Shore's claims are clearly very good.

Lastly, we have an important catalyst that is likely to get the stock moving which is the fact that the company will be starting a drilling program this Spring, probably within a month from now. North Shore has been granted its Falcon claim by prospect generator Skyharbour Resources Ltd. (SYH:TSX.V; SYHBF:OTCQX; SC1P:FSE), which has many other claims in the area and adjacent to Falcon, in return for a stake in the outcome of its exploration activity. 

Turning now to the stock, on its 4-month chart below, we can see that immediately after coming to market early in November, it dropped steeply for about a week before settling into a quite narrow trading range within which we can see that a Double Bottom base pattern has completed. During the latter part of this base pattern, in January, the accumulation line has been trending steadily higher, which is an indication that it is ready to break out into a new bull market.

With the second low of the Double Bottom having formed early last month and the price still not far above it and about in the middle of the range, it is clear that we are at a good entry point here, especially from the point of view of timing as the stock looks ready to break out of this base pattern soon to commence the expected new bull market.

North Shore Uranium is therefore rated an Immediate Strong Speculative Buy. There are 38.6 million shares in issue fully diluted, of which insiders and founding investors who are not insiders hold approximately 45% of issued shares.
