Five Of The Top Uranium Stocks To Buy And Hold In 2024

Uranium prices are running hot again. For one, "Geopolitical uncertainty and concerns about the security of uranium supply continue to be the driving forces behind the ongoing uranium rally," noted Jacob White, Sprott Asset Management ETF product manager, as quoted by ETFTrends. Two, "Miners are struggling to get enough uranium out of the ground. That is helping to push prices of the nuclear fuel to nearly 16-year highs,” they added. All of which is serving as a strong catalyst for stocks, such as Lexston Mining Corporation (CSE: LEXT) (OTC: LEXTF), Uranium Energy Corp. (NYSE: UEC), Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE: UUUU) (TSX: EFR), Cameco Corp. (NYSE: CCJ) (TSX: CCO), and Atha Energy (TSXV: SASK) (OTCQB: SASKF) even higher. In addition, about 22 countries, including the U.S., Canada, the UK, and France just pledged to triple their nuclear capacity by 2050 at the 28th Annual UN Climate Change Conference.

Look at Lexston Mining Corporation (CSE: LEXT) (OTC: LEXTF), For Example

Lexston Mining Corporation announced that further to its news release dated November 27, 2023, the Company has issued 1,000,000 common shares and made a $90,000 payment pursuant to the Project 176 and Project Itza Option Agreement dated November 27, 2023. The common shares issued pursuant to the Agreement are subject to a four month and one day statutory hold period.

Jag Bal, President, and CEO of Lexston states,“This acquisition in the Thelon Basin represents a good opportunity in a uranium rich basin that has similar potential to the Athabasca Basin. Historical data shows the potential for high-grade uranium deposits in the region and has triggered a staking rush at the basin, with other companies including Atha Energy (TSXV: SASK) active in the region.”

Project 176 – 1708Ha / 17km2

Located in the Northeastern portion of the Thelon Basin - 176 is within the most prospective region of the Thelon Basin that contains the highest-grade uranium sample – 380,000ppm uranium.

Project 176 was previously owned and explored by NexGen Energy who purchased the project from Mega Uranium in 2012.

Project Itza – 3955ha / 39.6 km2

Located in the Northeastern portion of the Thelon Basin - Itza was identified before the staking rush took place and is within the most prospective region of the Thelon Basin that contains the high-grade uranium oxide samples.

At least 3 radioactive boulder trains are located, and the source is yet to be tested. Project Itza sits at the mapped unconformity between the Thelon Formation and the underlying Amer Lake Metasediments. It contains reactivated faults identified in 2013 - not identified when the properties were last explored (2012). The intersection of reactivated faults and unconformities is highly prospective for uranium deposits. e.g. Cigar Lake, Key Lake. Multiple radioactive boulders were measured, including a 10,400ppm Uranium / 1.27% uranium oxide.

The Company is a Canadian mineral exploration company, focused on the acquisition and development of mineral projects, with the objective to enhance value to all its stakeholders. The Company has a mineral exploration project in British Columbia, Canada.

Energy Fuels Inc., a leading U.S. producer of uranium, rare earth elements, and vanadium, announced that it has entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding with Astron Corporation Limited to jointly develop the Donald Rare Earth and Mineral Sands Project, located in the Wimmera Region of the State of Victoria, Australia. The MOU describes indicative commercial terms and provides Energy Fuels with a binding exclusivity period to end on March 1, 2024, during which Energy Fuels will be entitled to conduct due diligence and the parties will negotiate definitive agreements. The Donald Project is a world-class, world scale, 'shovel-ready' critical mineral deposit that Energy Fuels believes would provide it with another near-term, low-cost, and large-scale source of monazite sand in an REE concentrate that would be transported to the Company's White Mesa Mill in Utah, USA for processing into REE oxides and other advanced REE materials and recovery of the contained uranium.

Cameco Corp. announced that the acquisition of Westinghouse Electric Company (Westinghouse) in a strategic partnership with Brookfield Asset Management alongside its publicly listed affiliate Brookfield Renewable Partners (Brookfield) and institutional partners closed.
