The Uranium Miners Opportunity
BY STEVE SCHOFFSTALL · 1/1/2025
We believe uranium mining equities are poised for growth as demand for nuclear power increases, driven by AI data center needs and electricity demand. Geopolitical shifts, such as Russia’s export restrictions, and global pledges to triple nuclear capacity by 2050 highlight supply chain importance. This creates a compelling case for uranium miners, which are supported by strong market fundamentals.
Why Tech & Big Investors Are Turning to Uranium & Gold
JOHN CIAMPAGLIA · 11/07/2024
John Ciampaglia, CEO of Sprott, joins James Connor to discuss why gold is increasingly viewed as a safeguard against economic uncertainty and why uranium has become essential to powering big tech's ambitious AI expansion.
