Cameco’s announcement to shut down the McArthur River mine, is big catalyst for the uranium sector. This is the world’s largest operating uranium mine, ~10% global production, coming offline. Much bigger news than when Cameco’s Cigar Lake mine flooded in 2006 (at the time that was development stage) but that was the beginning of a major uranium rally. UEC has been saying this all along, no mine on the planet can make money at $20/lb. uranium, and this announcement is the ultimate validation of this point. The McArthur River Mine and Key Lake Mill complex are collectively the world’s largest uranium operation and a shutdown of this magnitude cannot be over-emphasized.
The impact on spot uranium prices was volatile today and immediate. UEC has been describing the complacency of the utility fuel buyers despite their looming 1 billion pounds of uncommitted demand. This news should shake them out of a wait and see mode regarding their procurement strategies. Very positive news for UEC who are well positioned to capitalize on such a long-awaited development.
Also, Westinghouse has also just announced that they they have reached a deal to sell six AP-1000 reactors to China.
Note that the offer price on UxC BA is now over $23.00 USD.
Should be an interesting day tomorrow.
