Last Wednesday, on June 29th, I was joined by Paul Goranson, a uranium sector veteran and CEO of enCore energy, who recently signed their third uranium delivery contract.
This was an important talk in which Paul shone a light on the inner workings of the uranium industry and contracting cycle.
Mr. Goranson also shared his thoughts on the geopolitical situation around uranium, the Canadian uranium ban, and its effect on the price of uranium.
enCore’s CEO told me that he expects the contracting cycle in uranium to start ramping up soon, and mature throughout 2023, and that he expects the effects of the Russian uranium ban to remain a thing for about four to five years.
