In this interview, Verdera Energy CEO Janet Lee-Sheriff explains why New Mexico could drive America’s uranium resurgence in 2026. Holding the state’s largest land position (400+ sq mi) in the historic Grants District with ~88 million pounds of known/historic resources, Verdera advances high-potential ISR projects including Crownpoint/Hosta Butte (28M lbs), top-grade West Largo, and Ambrosia Lake. Following a $20M financing and upcoming public listing via POCML 7 (TSXV: POC.P), the company is progressing baseline studies, technical report updates, drilling, and community outreach via the Clean Energy Association of New Mexico. With strong ties to enCore Energy and expert leadership, Verdera delivers early-stage exposure to domestic uranium growth, government backing, and the clean energy transition—ideal for uranium stocks and US nuclear power investors.
