expert analysis & newsletter briefs

Fission Uranium Corp.

"The uranium sector right now is a textbook opportunity. It was a hated commodity that was left for dead and we see the uptrend coming. If you're willing to wait 18–24 months, you can very easily double your money here. . . The conservative bet is to go with companies that are in production and making money at the current price. That's Fission Uranium Corp. in Athabasca." (5/23/13) - The Energy Report Interview with Matt Badiali

Energy Fuels Inc.

Matt Badiali: Energy Fuels Inc. has production. Uranium producers like this are breaking even at $40/lb, but once the price of the uranium goes up, their profits are going to grow because they've already covered their costs. These companies are going to start popping up on people's radar screens, and investors are going to wonder why they're trading at 3x earnings. The uranium sector right now is a textbook opportunity. It was a hated commodity that was left for dead and we see the uptrend coming. If you're willing to wait 18–24 months, you can very easily double your money here. . .

TER: Energy Fuels has four producing mines and a number of others that are still in development. Do you like that mixture?

MB: Absolutely. Mines are finite producers. A mine is like a loaf of bread. You get so many sandwiches out of it and then you've got to get another loaf of bread. I love to see companies that have mines in production, mines about to go into production and several exploration projects. That's the ideal mining company.

FX Energy Inc.

"FX Energy Inc. reported an encouraging production test from its Tuchola-3K well in its 100%-owned Edge concession. The well flowed gas at rates of 3.8–5.5 MMcfpd, with no associated water production. . .due to the impressive results from the production test, the company plans to complete the well as a commercial discovery. . .we are encouraged by the success of the Tuchola-3K well and reiterate our Buy rating and $7 price target."
