Ordinary Share and NAV Performance2 

Commentary3 

The spot U3O8 price rose 7.7% to end the month at $81.75/lb, recovering the prior month's decline and closing the year with a rise of 14% rise as utility contracting picked up. Fund NAV rose 4.1% in December, which compared favourably to the 0.5% sterling return achieved by the Sprott Uranium Miners Pure Play Index over the month. It also compared well with a sterling decline of 2% registered by the Solactive Uranium Pure Play Index in December, where significant exposure to equities such as reactor developer Oklo, whose 21.5% share price declined over the month, acted as a drag.

Physical purchases totalling 750k lbs by the Sprott Physical Uranium Trust, which ended the year with holdings of 74.9Mlbs, helped revitalise uranium price momentum.

Regional news continued to highlight longer-term government-led support for the nuclear power sector. The US announced a $2.7bn funding package to improve its domestic enrichment capacity. Additionally, the Department of Energy provided a $400m grant to the Tennessee Valley Authority to fund the deployment of SMRs in the region by the early 2030's. In Europe, EDF provided a preliminary cost estimate for the construction of six new reactors at three existing facilities, totalling €72.8bn ($85.3bn), representing a significantly more competitive construction cost of approximately €7.3bn/GW when compared to the latest cost estimate of approximately €16bn/GW for final delivery of the Hinkley Point project which will have 3.2GW generating capacity. Meanwhile, Taiwan also flagged the possibility of restarting two mothballed reactors.

On the company front, following the two-part court hearings which took place as scheduled during December, Denison Mines indicated it is ready to commence construction at its 95%-owned Phoenix project pending the final regulatory decision, which is expected in Q1 2026. The company also provided an update on expected development capex, which increased around 40% to C$600m to take into account project refinements such as larger diameter well bore holes for the in-situ mining process, which added an estimated C$100m to costs, with an additional C$80m increase resulting from more general cost inflation. This updated sum comes in addition to around C$100m of preparatory works, of which around half has been spent to date. Following the sharp prior-month retracement from recent highs, the shares stabilised in December. Nexgen will be the next company to go through the hearing process in the coming February.

With an 18% share price rise over the month, Paladin made a notable positive contribution to returns, as production from the Langer Heinrich mine indicated improved recovery rates. Ur-Energy also made a useful contribution after a convertible bond issue, which will provide more funding for the restart of its Wyoming projects.
