Spot still at $49 according to numerco, YCA at approx 4-5% discount to nav now for those with any money left down the back of the sofa

bppdon,

I agree it's not a given. It might not even be necessary.

But there's 10m people on Wall St Bets and they are now taking an interest. It only needs 100,000 of them to decide to put $10,000 to use in the Uranium sector, and there's your billion $.

The really good thing is despite the recent rise, spot prices are probably still below the level where it makes sense for Cameco to restart McArthur River. It's all very well the investment banks setting their target prices based on All-In-Sustaining Costs, but what about profit. If AISC for MR is say $40, then $80 is required to get a 50% gross margin. That margin has to fund SG&A, return on sunk costs, future exploration, development and dividends for shareholders.

And even $80/lb won't generate a proper profit for the highest cost producers.

Kiwi
Yeah I agree.
The unknown is.. how much U3O8 is sitting ready to be sold on the spot market.
We'll find out over the next week or two as sput continues buying.

Will inventory materialise or will each hold onto their stash - thus increasing the value of their holding.

[bpdon] 16/9/2021 13:30

Yeah, agree with that @7kiwi. It does feel like there is a relatively clear path to > $70 given the impact the existing ATM spend had and the current momentum across the sector. Sellers will stop selling to let the price drift up because they can see a willing buyer at any price.

That said, most are assuming that the extra $1bn added to the ATM will get used up. That will require a lot of cash flowing into the fund at a premium. I'm positioned relatively big in this sector (including YCA) so I hope the ATM does get fully used and extended further..... but it's not a given.

[7kiwi] 16/9/2021 13:19

P.S. They had $50m in cash as of last night. I don't think they will even be able to source 1m lbs at $50. They only bought 100,000lbs yesterday.

[7kiwi] 16/9/2021 13:17

lst,

I think we need to look at what they can do with the nearly $1bn left of the existing ATM first.

$1bn would equate to 20m lbs at $50/lb. I simply don't think there's 20m of inventory available, certainly not at $50. So I think we're already in a place where the U3O8 price could move quite explosively.

[thelongandtheshortandthetall] 16/9/2021 10:46

If and it's a big if.
If SPUT can make this much difference in a month or so with $300m then where will it go with another $3-4bn added to the fund once it gets going.

Proper rampy post but I couldn't resist. Ooo exciting :)

[thelongandtheshortandthetall] 16/9/2021 10:34

GCL: yesterday's NAV.. today's is probably up around 8% :)

[return_of_the_apeman] 16/9/2021 10:17

In contrast GCL reported a nav of 54.29 and are still up 8.64% today at around 60p

Any dip below nav getting bought up

Added 5k

Without a doubt, Sprott turning up, as they have, has awoken a sleeping industry.
And I don not believe they have yet, fully excited their slumber.

So long as SPUT trades above NAV they'll be creating new units and buying power.. at least that's my understanding.

Very exciting :)

Oz cancelling 40bn Submarine contract with France to go with a UK/US nuclear powered option instead...

Mr Market loves Yellow Cake "But #YCA has the virtue of simplicity: direct exposure to the uranium price through a single holding company bearing no mining risk. The price of uranium oxide is up from $30 to $40 this year, its highest level since 2014"https://total-market-solutions.com/2021/09/yellow-cake-plc/

[7kiwi] 16/9/2021 00:15

Blimey, SPUT only bought 100,000 lbs on the 15th, and the price rose to $49. They have $52m cash on hand now to buy more Uranium.

I am beginning to feel we might be on the verge of a tipping point.

[return_of_the_apeman] 15/9/2021 23:04

And Sprott have only purchased 24.59% of their current 1.3Billion facility - another 75% left to go!

[7kiwi] 15/9/2021 21:59

Broker Price Index shows $50 on the ask tonight. Mid -$49/lb.

Should break $50 tomorrow.

URA blowing, this is going to moonshot

[hpcg] 15/9/2021 16:11

ADVFN blocks a few URLs from posting, mostly competitors. Bit surprised Sprott would be one but what is life without mysteries.

[thelongandtheshortandthetall] 15/9/2021 12:15

If SPUT was at a 28% premium that goes to show the appetite.
SPUT can release units into that appetite and go spending IMO.
Added a few more here :)

[swanvesta] 15/9/2021 11:03

7kiwi, thanks - I'll remember that

[7kiwi] 15/9/2021 11:01

swanvesta, paste without the http. It won't create a hyperlink, but at least you can C&P it into your browser.

No, I was talking about Sprott's webpage for SPUT. It has the premium to NAV at 8.16% yesterday.

[swanvesta] 15/9/2021 09:40

"Capitalise a couple of the http letters at the start of the link :-)"

It's not that. ADVFN is replacing the whole link with [...] I even tried a TinyURL link.

"Not saying sput should be at such a premium but just highlighting the gap"

It isn't, the gap has largely gone since SPUT retraced yesterday.

Sprott taps are on full now, that should bring their premium down, however there is nothing baked in here to reflect the bullish undertone that sprott buying will continue to move the spot price
