Uranium prices have jumped to $70 per pound, marking a 42% increase since the beginning of 2023 and the highest level since the pre-Fukushima disaster peak of $73 in 2011. Analysts suggest that prices could climb as high as $80 by the end of the year, a significant contrast to gold’s modest 5% increase in 2023. Experts are sounding the alarm about a potential uranium supply shortage that could further drive up costs in the years ahead. As demand for nuclear power continues to rise and concerns about supply persist, uranium explorers and miners like ATHA Energy Corp (CSE:SASK) (OTCQB:SASKF) (FRA:X5U), Cameco (TSX:CCO) (NYSE:CCJ), IsoEnergy (TSXV:ISO) (OTCQX:ISENF), Consolidated Uranium (TSXV:CUR) (OTCQX:CURUF), NexGen Energy (TSX:NXE) (NYSE:NXE), and Uranium Energy Corp (NYSE-A:UEC) are experiencing renewed interest from various stakeholders. ATHA Energy Corp (CSE:SASK) (OTCQB:SASKF) (FRA:X5U) is a Canadian-based uranium exploration company. ATHA is focused on exploration and development of uranium properties in Saskatchewan’s Athabasca Basin, which is renowned for hosting the world’s highest-grade uranium mines and deposits. ATHA has acquired the largest land package in the Athabasca Basin with 3.4 million acres of mineral claims covering all prospective regions, areas which have gone vastly underexplored with modern exploration methods. Additionally, ATHA holds a 10% carried interest portfolio comprising claims managed by NexGen Energy Ltd. and IsoEnergy. On September 27, ATHA Energy shared the results of its extensive electromagnetic (EM) surveys at its wholly-owned North Terra Project and North Pinnacle Project, both situated within Saskatchewan’s Athabasca Basin. The two completed surveys are part of the 2023 exploration program, which is organized into four distinct exploration districts: North Rim District, East Rim District, West Rim District, and Cable Bay District. These districts cover several active, past-producing, and developing uranium mining areas within the Athabasca Basin. The program will include 17 EM surveys being conducted across the Athabasca Basin on the company’s 3.4-million-acre exploration portfolio. In August of this year, ATHA embarked on a historic multi-platform EM survey across the Athabasca Basin, aimed at reducing risk and evaluating the potential of ATHA‘s vast land package. ATHA successfully deployed Axiom’s XciteTM Heli TDEM survey at the North Pinnacle and North Terra Projects, covering a combined 7,166-line kilometers in two blocks. Numerous conductors featuring cross-cutting structures were identified in both projects, suggesting the potential for uranium mineralization traps. In total, 20 kilometers of high-priority conductive lineaments have been pinpointed within these projects. These findings mark significant progress in ATHA‘s exploration efforts and reinforce the potential for valuable uranium discoveries within its extensive portfolio. “These results are the beginning of what we anticipate to be a very active exploration period for ATHA as we kick off the initial stages of a systematic discovery process across our expansive exploration portfolio,” said ATHA CEO Troy Boisjoli. “The formation and strategic purpose of ATHA was to be a specific response to the fundamental strength of the uranium cycle we are currently experiencing, and our contention is that in order to provide the greatest probability of exploration success, we need to begin with a targeted exploration program in the highest-grade uranium basin in the world and at significant scale.” For more information about ATHA Energy Corp (CSE:SASK) (OTCQB:SASKF) (FRA:X5U), please click here.
