Greetings my friends,
Recently, we witnessed a large amount of news from uranium companies, which did not contribute to a major movement of shares. The markets have been quite lately, and it is obvious that this will continue in the next few days, because we have entered the summer period when people are traditionally less interested in activities related to the stock market. We also have 2 non-working days on the stock exchange, one in Canada and one in the USA.
In today's edition of my newsletter, I have two great things to announce. First up is the addition of excellent technical analysis from the man known on twitter as Uselink. His real name is Kasper and I think we have a rising star when it comes to technical analysis. I've been following him for a long time and I think he's one of the better technical analysts on Twitter. Along with the editions of this newsletter, he will prepare a technical analysis for one company that we choose together. Today he prepared charts for Global Atomic.
You can follow him on YouTube under the account https://www.youtube.com/@uselinkinv
The second thing I'm giving you today is an interview with investing legend Rick Rule.
We discussed a lot of things but uranium was the most covered topic. I asked him on specifics of some uranium companies and CEOs so this will be pretty interesting I believe.
I hope you like it, please subscribe to my channel if you have not already,
Here is the interview:

COMPANY NEWS
📝GLOBAL ATOMIC PROVIDES DASA PROJECT UPDATE
Company is pleased to report on the continuing development of its Dasa Uranium Project in the Republic of Niger.
Stephen G. Roman, President & CEO, stated, “The primary question investors ask is regarding the timing of a term sheet for our banking syndicate’s Dasa Project loan facility. While this has been a much longer process than expected, the financing terms are in the final stage of completion, which, upon agreement, will then go to the banks’ Boards for approval prior to announcement to our shareholders.”
“We continue to make significant progress at the Dasa Project, having now put in place a mining and support team of over 200 people, the majority of which are local Nigeriens, comprised of both skilled workers, with extensive uranium mining experience, and young workers who are being trained in apprenticeship roles. The ramp is nearing the top of the ore body (see figure 1 below) and earthworks at the plant site are preparing the location for civil works. We remain on schedule to produce Yellowcake for delivery to nuclear utilities in early 2025.”
Approximately 500 meters of ramp development have now been completed. Surface and Underground mine infrastructure including mine dry, ventilation raises, electrical and pumping installations are underway. The development of the decline relative to the current Phase 1 Mine Plan is shown in the longitudinal section and the plan view below.
📝 Denison Reports Significant Increase in Economic Results for Wheeler River
Denison Mines reports the results of (i) the Feasibility Study ("Phoenix FS") completed for In-Situ Recovery ("ISR") mining of the high-grade Phoenix uranium deposit ("Phoenix") and (ii) a cost update ("Gryphon Update") to the 2018 Pre-Feasibility Study ("2018 PFS") for conventional underground mining of the basement-hosted Gryphon uranium deposit ("Gryphon"). With the successful completion of the Phoenix FS, Denison has advanced the planned Phoenix ISR project through the technical de-risking process and has already commenced the first phases of project execution.

Phoenix and Gryphon are part of the Wheeler River Uranium Project ("Wheeler River" or the "Project"), which is the largest undeveloped uranium mining project in the infrastructure-rich eastern portion of the Athabasca Basin region in northern Saskatchewan, Canada. Denison has an effective 95% ownership interest in Wheeler River and is the project operator.
David Cates, Denison's President & CEO commented, "The Phoenix FS and Gryphon Update confirm the robust economics of the two projects situated within the Company's flagship Wheeler River property, producing base-case after-tax net present values of $1.6 billion and $0.9 billion, respectively.
After 4.5 years of rigorous technical de-risking and independent third-party validation, Phoenix has cemented its position as one of the lowest-cost uranium development projects in the world. Notably, despite the considerable capital cost pressures experienced by the global mining industry over the last two years, the economics of a Phoenix ISR mining operation remain exceptionally robust – producing an improvement in projections of NPV and IRR, when compared to the 2018 PFS, as a result of favourable design changes and optimizations. While most contemporary uranium development projects have not yet been tested against current cost inflation, the results of the Phoenix FS and Gryphon Update demonstrate that Denison continues to be uniquely positioned to become a meaningful uranium producer with multiple low-cost development assets.
With the highly positive results of the Phoenix FS, our team has already shifted focus to advancing front-end engineering and design efforts, with a target of transitioning into detailed design before the end of the year."
