Recent Price History

Uranium prices reached $100/lb in early 2024 for the first time since the Fukushima-era spike, then consolidated in the $75-95/lb range through 2025. The bull market was driven by a global nuclear renaissance - over 60 reactors under construction worldwide, with China, India, and Eastern Europe leading new builds. Western utilities scrambled to secure long-term supply contracts after years of underinvestment in new mining capacity. Kazatomprom, the world's largest producer, reported production shortfalls due to sulfuric acid supply constraints. Canada's Cameco restarted its McArthur River mine - the world's largest high-grade uranium deposit. Small modular reactor (SMR) development added long-term demand expectations, though most SMR fuel requirements remain years away.
