Commentary 3  

This month, the Company's NAV gained 4.9%, notwithstanding a near 4% strengthening of

sterling against the dollar, and despite the spot uranium price retreating 9% to $71.1/lb over the month. The stronger contributions were made by US located assets including Ur-Energy, UEC, and Energy Fuels, whose share prices rose 15%, 28% and 59% respectively. A seeming driver to the performance of these equities was the agreement with rare earth producer, MP Minerals, to access US funding in the form of debt and equity from the Department of Defence. Canadian developer Denison also made a useful positive contribution with a share price rise of 14%. This came after the company announced additional mineral resources at its Gryphon project, the group's second potential development after its Wheeler River production, and also commenced small-scale extraction in a joint venture project with Orano, in which it has a minority share. Paladin acted as a drag with the shares falling nearly 23% following a lowering of 2026 production guidance.

Geiger Counter's performance of 4.9% compared to sterling returns of 6.9% and -2.2% for the

Uranium Pure Play Index and Sprott Uranium Miners equity ETF, respectively. The differential in performance between Pure Play Index and the Sprott Trust had much to do with the contributions from the extremely volatile modular reactor equities, Oklo and NuScale. There share prices rose 27% and 37% respectively following the MP Minerals funding deal. Both modular reactor companies that are competing for government funding for their respective designs are not included in the Sprott ETF.

Elsewhere, Japanese utility Kansai Electric Power Company announced intentions to assess

construction of a new nuclear power plant in Fukui, Mihama, following the return to service of the remaining operating reactor at the site.
