Price Rise and Buy Ups
- Uranium Spot Price reached a two-year-high
==> picture [81 x 110] intentionally omitted <==
- 24% gain since the start of 2018
26
- Investment funds enter the U market – Yellow Cake Uranium Participation Corp (UPC), Cameco Corp. and Tribeca Fund
Supply Cuts by Major Producers
- During 2017/2018, ~25-35Mlbpa of mined uranium will be removed from the market equating to 14-20% total annual demand

Demand Increasing
-
Significant nuclear build programs: 57 reactors under construction with a further 154 planned
-
Importantly, Japan has switched back on 9 reactors
-
Significant ramp-up in nuclear power required if China is to achieve proposed target of limiting global temperature rise to below 1.5[O] C

Previous intercepts in diamond core holes that define the high-grade pod include:*
-
12.3m @ 0.73% U3O8, 1.77g/t Au, 2% Cu

Junee and Bogong Projects: new opportunities for significant copper gold discovery
-
Located in the Lachlan Fold Belt - a highly endowed copper gold region
-
Junee Project is within the Junawarra Volcanics : underexplored as previously thought to be unrelated to the mineralising events of the Macquarie Arc
-
In 2017, the Geological Survey (GSNSW)[1] identified a monzonite intrusion within the Junawarra Volcanics contemporaneous with the copper gold bearing monzonite intrusions at Cadia-Ridgeway and Northparkes Mines
-
The Junawarra Volcanics are now interpreted by the GSNSW as the southern extension of the Junee–Narromine Volcanic Belt which hosts
-
Northparkes Mine - China Molybdenum Co. Ltd.
-
Cowal - Evolution Mining Ltd.
-
Temora (the Dam, Gidginbung and Yidadah) - Sandfire Resources NL
