NexGen Announces the Appointment of Ryan Podrasky as Chief Financial OfficerMay 20, 2026 6:30 AM
NewsfileVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 20, 2026) - NexGen Energy Ltd. (TSX: NXE) (NYSE: NXE) (ASX: NXG) ("NexGen" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the appointment of Ryan Podrasky as Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), effective May 25, 2026. Mr. Podrasky succeeds Benjamin ("Ben") Salter, who is stepping down as CFO. Mr. Salter will continue to support the Company in an advisory capacity to ensure a seamless transition.Ryan Podrasky is a CPA-designated finance executive with more than 25 years of leadership across global mining and oil and gas companies. He most recently served as Chief Financial Officer of Elk Valley Resources - formerly the coal business of Teck Resources and now majority-owned by Glencore - where he led the finance function for a $10B+ revenue business that is the largest steelmaking coal producer in Canada and the second-largest seaborne supplier globally. In that capacity he had oversight of approximately $5B in annual operating and capital expenditures across a complex, multi-site, fully integrated mine-to-port value chain employing 5,700+ people and led a comprehensive and strategic finance organization. Ryan has served for over five years as Board Director of Neptune Bulk Terminals (Canada) Ltd., where he chaired the Audit, Finance, and Insurance Committees. Prior to being appointed full-time CFO, Ryan served as Acting CFO during the separation of Teck's coal business into a standalone entity, where he helped lead one of Canada's most complex large-scale corporate carve-outs. He worked closely with the corporate teams in Vancouver establishing the standalone capital structure, treasury framework, financial systems, and governance model for a multi-billion-dollar mining organization. Before joining Teck, Ryan spent over a decade at Nexen Inc. in Calgary, progressing from Joint Venture Auditor through to Corporate Development, where he supported enterprise strategy, capital projects, and joint venture partnerships across large-scale oil sands and international operations. He also held a commercial leadership role at Talisman Energy, where he led a cross-functional team supporting planning, performance management, and strategic decision-making across North American operations. Leigh Curyer, Founder & Chief Executive Officer, commented: "It's with great pleasure that we announce Ryan has been appointed Chief Financial Officer of NexGen effective May 25, 2026. Ryan joins NexGen with significant experience on successful large-scale resource projects covering the financing, reporting, budgetary management and commercial functions during the construction and operating phases. I would like to take the opportunity to acknowledge and thank Ben for his commitment, dedication and positive influence in his role as Chief Financial Officer of NexGen for the past 3 years.
He has overseen the finance function with distinction and has been an absolute pleasure to work alongside in the senior executive team. His contribution to NexGen is and will always be highly regarded.The Board and Executive wish Ben all the very best in his future as he takes some well-deserved time off to spend with his family and pursue personal interests."About NexGenNexGen Energy is a Canadian company focused on delivering clean energy fuel for the future.

NexGen's Final Batch of 2025 Assays Return Multiple High-Grade InterceptsMay 7, 2026 6:30 AM
NewsfileConfirming Both Expansion and Continuity of Primary High-Grade Subdomain and Confirmation of New High-Grade Subdomain at DepthHighlights:RK-25-239 returns 13.0 m at 5.2% U3O8, including 0.5 m at 30.2% U3O8 confirming expansion of the growing high-grade subdomain 33 m up dip of RK-25-232 (15.0 m at 15.9% U3O8)RK-25-240 returns 10.0 m at 3.95% U3O8, including 0.5 m at 33.3% U3O8 in the down dip portion of the high-grade subdomain 266 m below RK-25-232 Assays from RK-25-230 (7.5 m at 5.3% U3O8 including 0.5 m at 35.9% U3O8), RK-25-233 (6.0 m at 2.4% U3O8 including 0.5 m at 23.4% U3O8), RK-25-236 (5.5 m at 2.3% U3O8 including 0.5 m at 13.3% U3O8) confirm continuity of high-grade subdomain; 47 m, 151 m, and 40 m respectively from RK-25-232 Confirmed the new high-grade subdomain, at 850 m below surface with RK-25-257 returning 4.5 m at 4.8% U3O8 including 0.5 m at 33.3% U3O8 located 67 m up dip of RK-24-202 (0.5 m at 6.9% U3O8). Confirms significant growth potential.Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 7, 2026) - NexGen Energy Ltd. (TSX: NXE) (NYSE: NXE) (ASX: NXG) ("NexGen" or the "Company") announces the final receipt of 2025 assay results that highlight the expansion and continuity of the high-grade subdomain at the Company's 100% owned Patterson Corridor East (PCE) discovery located 3.5 km from the Arrow Deposit. The expansion of the high-grade subdomain is especially confirmed by RK-25-239 which returned 13.0 m at 5.2% U3O8, including 0.5 m at 30.2% U3O8, at 400 m below surface and RK-25-240 which returned 10.0 m at 3.95% U3O8, including 0.5 m at 33.3% U3O8, at 670 m below surface. Both of these holes share strong similarities with respect to their overall geological characteristics which span across 292 m of mineralized dip extent. (Figures 1-3, Table 1). Results from RK-25-240 emphasize the potential extension of mineralization at depth where the system is open. Together with these results, the grades from RK-25-230 (Figure 4), RK-25-233, RK-25-236 have confirmed a strong core zone within the high-grade subdomain which remains open in most directions.Within the overall mineralized footprint, a new secondary high-grade subdomain is now confirmed by RK-25-257 (Figures 1 and 5). This hole has several intercepts with the best being 4.5 m at 4.8% U3O8 including 0.5 m at 33.3% U3O8 located 67 m up dip of RK-24-202 (0.5 m at 6.9% U3O8). This new subdomain has high prospectivity for continued growth and is open in most directions. Exploration drilling in 2026 has already driven further growth at PCE with the majority of the campaign (29,241.8 m of the planned 42,000 m) scheduled to recommence the week of May 25, 2026 (see news release April 22, 2026). All samples from 2026 drilling to date are submitted to the independent Saskatchewan Research Council Geoanalytical Laboratory (SRC), with results to follow.Leigh Curyer, Founder & Chief Executive Officer, commented: "These assay results from 2025 drilling confirm high-grade mineralization and the expanding scale of PCE. The combination of high-grades, continuity, scale and geotechnical characteristics continue to highlight the similarities between PCE and the mighty Arrow Deposit. The opening up of a new high-grade subdomain emphasizes significant growth potential remains at PCE. With the structural supply deficit in the market widening, and the impacts of the industry wide underinvestment in the uranium supply chain for a generation, the urgency of finding and bringing online new, reliable uranium supply has never been greater. As the Rook I Project enters into major construction this summer, we continue to advance PCE to ensure that NexGen optimizes its unparalleled opportunity to become one of the world's most important mining company in delivering energy fuel for the current and future generations."Figure 1: Interpreted PCE long section (as of April 22, 2026 release) with notable assays collected since discovery and new results outlined in red; view is a long section that looks perpendicular to the primary mineralized plane; total mineralized footprint in orange and the high-grade subdomains in redTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:

The Uranium Shortage: 78 Gigawatts Under Construction and Not Enough FuelApril 29, 2026 9:05 AM
PR Newswire (Canada)

Issued on behalf of Eagle Nuclear Energy Corp.VANCOUVER, BC, April 29, 2026 /CNW/ -- USANewsGroup.com News Commentary — Seventy-eight gigawatts of nuclear reactor capacity are now under construction across 15 countries, according to the International Energy Agency's 2026 Global Energy Review, and global installed nuclear capacity sits at 420 GW[1]. That building spree just got louder: at the Paris Nuclear Energy Summit in March, 38 nations signed on to triple nuclear capacity by 2050, locking in sovereign fuel commitments that tighten the supply picture for years[2]. The capital now rotating into this sector is targeting companies already past the starting line, and five names sit at the front of that queue: Eagle Nuclear Energy Corp. (NASDAQ: NUCL), Cameco Corporation (NYSE: CCJ) (TSX: CCO), Uranium Energy (NYSE-A: UEC), NexGen Energy (NYSE: NXE) (TSX: NXE), and Denison Mines (NYSE-A: DNN) (TSX: DML).
The World Nuclear Association projects government targets could push global nuclear capacity to 1,446 GWe by 2050, well past the 1,200 GW tripling goal set at COP28[3]. With over 12 GW of new nuclear construction starts in 2025 alone, according to the IEA, the asymmetric upside now favors companies holding permitted sites, funded drill programs, and active construction timelines over early-stage explorers still years from first approvals[4].Eagle Nuclear Energy (NASDAQ: NUCL) just reported its first quarter as a publicly traded company, and the numbers tell a clean story: $31.3 million in cash, zero interest-bearing debt, and a flagship uranium project that is now moving toward drilling.The company's Aurora Uranium Project, located along the Oregon-Nevada border, holds 32.75 million pounds of indicated uranium and 4.98 million pounds of inferred uranium. That makes it the largest conventional, measured and indicated uranium deposit in the United States. Eagle Nuclear Energy completed its business combination with Spring Valley Acquisition Corp. II in February 2026 and began trading on the Nasdaq on February 25 under the ticker NUCL.Since listing, Eagle Nuclear Energy has moved quickly. The company announced a 27,000 ft drill program at Aurora in early April, designed to advance the project toward a Pre-Feasibility Study. The program consists of 47 diamond drill holes planned by resource consultants BBA USA Inc., with objectives spanning resource expansion, classification enhancement, advanced metallurgy, rock mechanics, and hydrogeological analysis. Each hole was designed to serve multiple purposes simultaneously, keeping the overall program limited without sacrificing any of its goals.Days later, Eagle Nuclear Energy engaged Harris Exploration Drilling to provide up to three track-mounted core drill rigs for the campaign, which is scheduled to begin in July and expected to wrap within three to four months. The company's permitting manager, SLR International Corporation, has already filed permit applications with the Bureau of Land Management and the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries. Both agencies have acknowledged receipt, and Eagle Nuclear Energy anticipates approvals in time for the July start.The broader strategy here is vertical integration. Eagle Nuclear Energy is not just exploring uranium. The company is pairing domestic uranium resources with exclusive Small Modular Reactor technology to build what it calls an integrated nuclear energy platform. At a time when operating reactors in the United States source more than 95% of their fuel from foreign suppliers, a domestic project with a clear path to development carries real strategic weight. Eagle Nuclear Energy's membership in the Uranium Producers of America reinforces that positioning, and the Pre-Feasibility Study is slated for completion in the second half of 2027.With cash on hand, a drill program locked in, permits filed, and rigs secured, Eagle Nuclear Energy is approaching a summer that could meaningfully reshape how the market values Aurora. For a company that only began trading two months ago, the pace of execution stands out.Other industry developments and happenings in the market include:Cameco Corporation (NYSE: CCJ) (TSX: CCO) signed a long-term agreement to supply nearly 22 million pounds of uranium ore concentrate to India's Department of Atomic Energy over a nine-year period, with deliveries expected to run from 2027 through 2035. The contract carries an estimated total value of approximately $2.6 billion, based on a uranium spot price of US$86.95 per pound, and was celebrated in Delhi alongside Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, and Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe."Cameco is proud to be a strategic partner with India to help meet its civil nuclear fuel needs and support its trade relationship with Canada," said Tim Gitzel, CEO of Cameco Corporation. "India is embarking on an ambitious nuclear expansion to power its development plans and meet the future energy security needs of its people."India currently operates 24 reactors with plans to reach 100 GW of nuclear capacity by 2047, representing a significant long-term demand driver for uranium supply. The new agreement builds on a previous five-year contract Cameco Corporation held with India beginning in 2015, reinforcing the company's position as a trusted nuclear fuel supplier of choice for sovereign buyers globally.Uranium Energy (NYSE-A: UEC) announced production commencement at its Burke Hollow project in South Texas following approval from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, making Burke Hollow the world's newest in-situ recovery uranium mine and the first new U.S. ISR operation to start in over a decade. Combined with recent capacity expansion approvals at Christensen Ranch in Wyoming, Uranium Energy now operates two active ISR hub-and-spoke platforms and is the only U.S. uranium company with two producing ISR production systems."The startup of Burke Hollow is a significant achievement for UEC, advancing the project from a grassroots discovery in 2012 to production in 2026," said Amir Adnani, President and CEO of Uranium Energy. "With two ISR operations now producing, and our Ludeman ISR project planned for startup in 2027, we are building a scalable, multi-faceted platform supported by the largest uranium resource base in the United States."Burke Hollow is the largest ISR uranium discovery in the United States, with multi-phase development potential designed to scale production in line with market demand. Uranium Energy maintains a 100% unhedged production strategy, holds the largest uranium resource base in the U.S., and is targeting growth across its three-platform ISR network to meet strengthening market fundamentals.NexGen Energy (NYSE: NXE) (TSX: NXE) received final federal approval for the Rook I uranium project in Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin, with the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission issuing both an Environmental Assessment approval and a Licence to Prepare Site and Construct, the last regulatory hurdle required to begin full construction. When operational, Rook I will produce up to 30 million pounds of uranium annually, representing more than 20% of global uranium supply and more than 50% of western world supply."NexGen is the foundational and necessary key to fueling that growth," said Leigh Curyer, Founder and CEO of NexGen Energy. "Our team, our asset, and this moment are aligned in a way that comes along once in a generation. Together with our Nation partners and our many valued stakeholders, we are well prepared and ready to execute the construction phase of the Rook I Project with the same scope, schedule and cost precision that has defined NexGen since incorporation in 2011."NexGen Energy made its Final Investment Decision ahead of the approval, with official construction commencing in summer 2026 and expected to take four years. All procurement, engineering, vendors, and capital are in place, with the company having worked in lockstep with Indigenous communities throughout the multi-year approval process.Denison Mines (NYSE-A: DNN) (TSX: DML) filed its audited 2025 annual results alongside a Final Investment Decision to construct the Phoenix in-situ recovery uranium mine at the Wheeler River property in Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin, with site preparation and construction commencing in March 2026 and first production targeted by mid-2028. Denison Mines secured US$345 million through a senior convertible notes offering, appointed Wood Plc as construction manager, and advanced engineering to nearly 90% completion."Over the past twelve months, Denison continued to make significant investments in its assets, including its flagship Phoenix project," said David Cates, President and CEO of Denison Mines. "With receipt of all regulatory approvals necessary to start construction, significant advancement of construction planning and procurement efforts, appointment of Wood Plc as construction manager, and a strong balance sheet, we are ready to commence site preparation for and construction of the Phoenix ISR uranium mine later this month."McClean North, operated by joint venture partner Orano Canada, deployed the patented SABRE mining method and produced nearly 650,000 pounds U3O8 in 2025, one of the most productive new uranium mines in North America. Denison Mines also advanced delineation drilling at the Gryphon deposit and expanded its exploration JV portfolio with Skyharbour Resources.CONTACT:

Within the mineralized zone of PCE, the high-grade subdomain has now grown to 550 m in vertical extent, a 33% increase, with a strike length of 210 m. This expansion was primarily driven by hole RK-26-280c1 which returned cumulative 4.2m of >10,000 cps including 0.6m of >61,000 cps at 834m below surface (Figures 1-3). The hole successfully intersected mineralization 230m down plunge along a high-grade shoot interpreted to connect with RK-26-271c1 (Figure 4).Holes RK-26-271c1, RK-26-276, and RK-26-285 returned strong mineralized intercepts between 600 to 700m below surface, where the system remains open for expansion (Figures 1 and 2, Table 1). Results from RK-26-271c1 include cumulative 12.6m of >10,000 cps including 2.3m of >61,000 cps 80m down plunge of RK-25-256 (5.5m at 21.4% U3O8) indicating continuity of intense high-grade mineralization (Figure 3). Further, the intersections from RK-26-276 (cumulative 11.2m of >10,000 cps including 0.6m of >61,000 cps) and RK-26-285 (cumulative 9.0m of >10,000 cps including 0.7m of >61,000 cps) add progressive high-grade continuity to the base of this growing subdomain. Drilling 600m to the southeast of PCE along a separate parallel trend, prospective structure and alteration features are vectoring the Company toward potential repetition of mineralization within the overall PCE system (Figure 5).Summer drilling of ~29,200m is schedule to commence the week of May 25, 2026. All samples from 2026 drilling are submitted to the independent Saskatchewan Research Council Geoanalytical Laboratory (SRC), with results to follow.Leigh Curyer, Founder & Chief Executive Officer, commented: "Today's results from the 2026 winter program confirm both the scale and growth of PCE continues to advance at pace. Increasing the vertical extent of the high-grade subdomain by 33% during the winter program, suggests substantial drilling is required going forward to fully understand the extent of this mineralized zone. In parallel, drilling focused on vectoring into additional zones of mineralization will be incorporated into the summer program based on these winter results. "With the Rook I Project commencing construction this summer and the significance of PCE materializing rapidly, we look forward to future drilling and evaluation of PCE and its potential position in the long-term profile of NexGen's uranium portfolio. NexGen is positioned to meet the strong demand for Canadian uranium for many decades into the future, whilst setting a new industry standard in the safe, efficient and reliable delivery of offtake to utility customers around the world."A total of 12,758.2m of the planned 42,000m has been completed in 2026, focusing on high-grade growth and expansion of mineralization. Thirteen drill holes totalling 9,131.7m were dedicated to advancing the mineralization at PCE and six drill holes totalling 3,626.5m tested the parallel trend. Since discovery (see news release date March 11, 2024), 115 drillholes totalling 72,464.7m targeted PCE mineralization (Figure 4) with 79 of the 115 drill holes being mineralized, including 54 intersecting high-grade (>10,000 cps) and 21 intersecting off-scale (>61,000 cps).

Utah's Forgotten Uranium Belt Is Getting a Second Look. Here's Why the Timing Matters.March 23, 2026 2:14 PM
PR Newswire (Canada)

Issued on behalf of EagleOne Metals CorporationVANCOUVER, BC, March 23, 2026 /CNW/ -- Equity-Insider.com — Thirty-five miles south of Hanksville, Utah, in the heart of some of the highest-grade historical uranium country in the American West, there's a 206-acre property that was drilled once in 2008, returned mineralized intercepts across six commodities, and then sat untouched for nearly two decades.







It's not hard to understand why. Uranium spent most of the 2010s in the penalty box. Spot prices languished below $30 per pound. Nobody was acquiring uranium ground in Utah. Nobody was funding exploration for rare earths in the Colorado Plateau. The economics didn't work, and the geopolitical urgency didn't exist.Both of those conditions have reversed. Uranium is now approaching $92 per pound. The IEA projects a 30% copper supply shortfall by 2035. Rare earth supplies outside China cover less than 40% of projected demand. And the U.S. government has committed more than $30 billion to secure critical mineral supply chains in just the past six months, including a $12 billion Project Vault strategic stockpile and a $2.7 billion DOE enrichment expansion.The companies best positioned for this environment are the ones that already hold ground. Cameco (TSX: CCO) (NYSE: CCJ), the world's largest publicly traded uranium company, recently partnered with the U.S. Government and Brookfield to accelerate Westinghouse nuclear reactor deployments — backed by $80 billion in aggregate government investment. Cameco is extending its Cigar Lake mine to 2036 and ramping McArthur River toward 25 million pounds annually. The market is paying $1,416 per pound of Cameco's future uranium capacity.NexGen Energy (TSX: NXE) (NYSE: NXE) is building what it positions as the world's largest and lowest-cost uranium mine at Rook I in Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin. With estimated production costs under $10 per pound and spot uranium near $92, the margin thesis is extraordinary. NexGen raised C$800 million for construction and expects its Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission hearings this year. Denison Mines (TSX: DML) (NYSE: DNN) announced a final investment decision in March 2026 to construct the Phoenix in-situ recovery uranium mine at Wheeler River — 56.7 million pounds of proven and probable reserves, a projected IRR exceeding 80%, and production targeted for 2028 using a method that costs 15–70% less than conventional mining.On the rare earth side, MP Materials (NYSE: MP) operates the only scaled rare earth mining and processing site in North America at Mountain Pass, California. As Beijing tightened export controls on seven strategic rare earth elements in early 2026, MP's position as the Western hemisphere's primary source of NdPr oxide became acutely strategic. The company is building downstream magnet manufacturing capacity to supply EV and defense customers directly.These are billion-dollar companies operating in the same commodity environment that just created an opportunity at the opposite end of the valuation spectrum.EagleOne Metals Corporation (CSE: EAGL) (FSE: IJ2) recently signed a binding Letter of Intent to acquire 100% of the Poison Springs Uranium/Rare Earths Project in Utah for US$50,000. The 206.6-acre property returned mineralized intercepts across uranium, copper, silver, cobalt, nickel, and rare earth elements neodymium, praseodymium, and europium from a single 2008 drill campaign. Both uranium and REEs appear on the U.S. Critical Minerals List. Historical drilling by Cotter Corporation in nearby Hatch Canyon during 1978–1979 confirmed widespread mineralization across the broader region. Follow-up targets sit at less than 100 metres depth. A Triassic Chinle formation target carries additional potential for copper, vanadium, zinc, nickel, cobalt, and REEs.The Utah play is one piece of a broader portfolio. EagleOne's 100%-owned Hébécourt Township property in Quebec's Abitibi Greenstone Belt — a jurisdiction that has produced over 200 million ounces of gold historically — returned two priority anomalies targeting gold and copper. The adjacent Magusi West project produced gold anomalies up to 0.156 ppm and copper anomalies up to 186 ppm across 618 soil samples. And through a non-binding LOI with Surupampa Metals, EagleOne has a path to a Peruvian copper-gold asset.Four properties. Three countries. Gold, silver, copper, uranium, and rare earth elements. A C$240,000 financing pending. Market capitalization: approximately C$5 million.The structural deficit across uranium, copper, and rare earths is no longer a forecast. It's the primary driver behind the largest government mineral investment in American history. EagleOne Metals (CSE: EAGL) is assembling multi-commodity critical minerals exposure at the exact moment the policy environment and the price environment are converging — and the market hasn't priced it in yet.For more information on EagleOne Metals Corporation (CSE: EAGL) (FSE: IJ2) and its critical minerals portfolio, visit Equity-Insider.comRead this and more on EagleOne at: Equity-Insider.comArticle Source: https://usanewsgroup.com/2026/03/12/exploring-the-minerals-powering-the-digital-and-energy-future/CONTACT:

Significant U.S. Uranium Deposit Advances with Permitting Team NUCL, CCJ, UEC, SMR, and NXE as Uranium Demand Meets Domestic Supply UrgencyMarch 18, 2026 10:15 AM
PR Newswire (US)

Issued on behalf of Eagle Nuclear Energy Corp.Companies mentioned in this article: Eagle Nuclear Energy Corp. (NASDAQ: NUCL), Cameco Corp. (NYSE: CCJ), Uranium Energy Corp. (NYSE: UEC), NuScale Power (NYSE: SMR), NexGen Energy (NYSE: NXE)Key Takeaways:Eagle Nuclear Energy Corp. (NASDAQ: NUCL) has engaged SLR International Corporation as lead permitting manager for its Aurora Uranium Project, the largest conventional, measured and indicated uranium deposit in the United States with 32.75 million pounds indicated and 4.98 million pounds inferred.SLR's designated team has an excellent permitting track record with the Bureau of Land Management and Oregon DOGAMI in the same county as Aurora, including fast-tracking Jindalee Lithium's McDermitt project under the federal FAST-41 initiative[1].Uranium was added to the U.S. Geological Survey's 2025 Critical Minerals List, and approximately 65 reactors are under construction worldwide as global electricity demand drives a nuclear renaissance[2].Cameco recently entered an $80 billion strategic partnership with the U.S. Government to accelerate deployment of Westinghouse nuclear reactor technologies and reinvigorate domestic supply chains[3].Eagle Nuclear Energy (NASDAQ: NUCL) is developing an integrated nuclear platform combining domestic uranium resources with exclusive Small Modular Reactor (SMR) technology, positioning it to own both the fuel supply and the deployment pathway for next-generation nuclear power.NEW YORK, March 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Equity-Insider.com News Commentary — The United States produces almost none of the uranium it consumes. That's not a forecast — it's the reality that uranium was added to the U.S. Geological Survey's Critical Minerals List in 2025, that the White House launched Project Vault with $12 billion in strategic minerals stockpile financing, and that approximately 65 new reactors are under construction worldwide as governments bet on nuclear power to meet surging electricity demand[2]. Spot uranium is approaching $92 per pound as tightening primary supply converges with accelerating reactor demand, AI-driven power infrastructure buildouts, and a bipartisan political consensus that domestic nuclear fuel supply chains are a national security imperative[4].







Against that backdrop, the companies that own the actual uranium in the ground — particularly in the United States — are becoming strategic assets in a way they haven't been in decades. The question is no longer whether America needs more domestic uranium, it's who can get uranium permitted, developed, and delivered. Eagle Nuclear Energy Corp. (NASDAQ: NUCL) just took a major step toward answering that question.Eagle Nuclear Energy Corp. (NASDAQ: NUCL) — SLR Consulting Engaged to Lead Aurora PermittingEagle Nuclear Energy Corp. (NASDAQ: NUCL) announced today that it has engaged global mining advisory firm SLR International Corporation as the lead permitting manager for the Aurora Uranium Project, the company's flagship asset located along the Oregon–Nevada border. Aurora owns the largest conventional, measured and indicated uranium deposit in the United States, with 32.75 million pounds indicated and 4.98 million pounds inferred under the SK-1300 technical standard. To put that in perspective, Aurora's nearly 38 million pounds of uranium places it among the larger undeveloped projects in America—at a time when the U.S. imports roughly 95% of the uranium it consumes.SLR Consulting is not an ordinary hire. The firm is world-renowned for providing technical, engineering, and environmental services to resource projects globally, and the team assigned to Eagle has specific, relevant experience with the Bureau of Land Management and Oregon's Department of Geology and Mineral Industries in Malheur County — the same county where Aurora sits. That experience includes permitting success at Paramount Gold's Grassy Mountain project and Jindalee Lithium's McDermitt project, the latter of which SLR helped fast-track under the U.S. federal government's FAST-41 initiative. Eagle's management is now collaborating with SLR to potentially get Aurora on the FAST-41 list as well."SLR's permitting expertise, their proven track-record around the world, and their relevant experience in our neighbourhood, makes them a natural partner for Eagle as we plan to take Aurora toward the next stage of development," said Vishal Gupta, Eagle's VP of Operations. "The SLR team has been involved in extensive engagement with regulators at the county, state and federal levels, which has direct relevance to expediting the permitting process for Aurora."Following this engagement, SLR will serve as Aurora's program manager for all environmental permitting tasks, including baseline studies, exploration permitting support, drill programs, metallurgical studies, and hydrogeological work. SLR's involvement is designed to help progress Aurora toward a Pre-Feasibility Study estimated to be completed in late 2027. But the permitting milestone is only part of the story. Eagle isn't building a conventional uranium mining company. The company is developing an integrated nuclear energy platform that combines domestic uranium resources with exclusive Small Modular Reactor technology — meaning it aims to own both the fuel and the means to deploy it. In a sector where Cameco commands a multi-billion dollar valuation and NexGen raised C$800 million for a single project, Eagle is advancing the largest conventional, measured and indicated U.S. uranium deposit at a fraction of those valuations, with a NASDAQ listing and a strategy that spans the nuclear fuel cycle.For more information on Eagle Nuclear Energy Corp. (NASDAQ: NUCL) and the Aurora Uranium Project, visit www.eaglenuclear.comIn other industry developments and happenings in the market include:Cameco Corp. (NYSE: CCJ) — $80 Billion U.S. Government Nuclear PartnershipCameco Corp. (NYSE: CCJ), one of the world's largest uranium producers with licensed capacity to produce more than 30 million pounds annually, recently entered into a strategic partnership with the U.S. Government alongside Brookfield to accelerate deployment of Westinghouse nuclear reactor technologies. The aggregate government investment of at least $80 billion is designed to create significant growth opportunities for both Westinghouse and Cameco while reinvigorating domestic nuclear supply chains. Cameco is extending the life of its Cigar Lake mine to 2036 and ramping production at McArthur River/Key Lake toward its licensed annual capacity of 25 million pounds. Analyst estimates project Cameco's fiscal 2026 earnings growth at 55%.Uranium Energy Corp. (NYSE: UEC) — From Developer to Producer With ISR RestartUranium Energy Corp. (NYSE: UEC) marked a turning point in fiscal 2025 by transitioning from developer to active producer with the successful restart of the Christensen Ranch in-situ recovery mine in Wyoming's Powder River Basin. ISR mining offers lower capital costs, faster timelines, and reduced environmental impact compared to conventional methods. Production ramp-ups are expected to continue through 2026 alongside the anticipated startup of the Burke Hollow project. UEC also acquired Rio Tinto's Sweetwater mill and Wyoming uranium assets, expanding its licensed capacity to 12.1 million pounds annually and positioning it as the largest U.S. uranium company by potential production.NuScale Power (NYSE: SMR) — AI-Enabled Reactor Design and TVA PartnershipNuScale Power (NYSE: SMR) announced a partnership with Oak Ridge National Laboratory to utilize an AI-enabled nuclear design framework to optimize fuel management across multiple reactors. NuScale's exclusive global partner ENTRA1 Energy and the Tennessee Valley Authority continue to advance what is positioned as the largest nuclear power deployment in a generation. NuScale's small modular reactor design received NRC Design Certification in 2023, making it the first SMR to achieve this milestone in the United States. The Trump administration's plans to loosen regulations for new nuclear plants and boost SMR production have provided additional potential tailwinds for the company.NexGen Energy (NYSE: NXE) — Rook I Hearings and Path to World's Lowest-Cost UraniumNexGen Energy (NYSE: NXE) commenced its Part 2 Commission Hearing with Canada's Nuclear Safety Commission in February 2026, representing the final step in the federal regulatory process prior to an approval decision for its Rook I project in Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin. Rook I is designed to produce approximately 30 million pounds of uranium annually at an estimated cash cost of under $10 per pound, giving it some of the lowest projected production costs in the global uranium industry. NexGen recently raised C$800 million to fund construction.Eagle Nuclear Energy Corp. (NASDAQ: NUCL) trades on NASDAQ and is advancing the Aurora Uranium Project — the largest conventional, measured and indicated uranium deposit in the United States — toward a Pre-Feasibility Study targeted for late 2027, with SLR International Corporation leading the permitting effort and an integrated nuclear platform strategy combining domestic uranium resources with SMR technology.In a sector where Cameco commands a multi-billion-dollar market capitalization and governments are deploying tens of billions to secure domestic nuclear fuel supply, Eagle Nuclear Energy is the company seeking to advance America's largest conventional, measured and indicated uranium deposit from resource to potential development — with a world-class permitting partner now in place and a strategy that spans the full nuclear value chain.

This approval comes 14 business days after the final 2-part Commission Hearing process which was concluded February 12, 2026. With Environmental Assessment ("EA") approval from the Province of Saskatchewan received in November 2023 and receipt of all other necessary Provincial authorizations, the issuance of the Licence marks the final regulatory approval required to initiate full construction of the Project.Located in Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin, NexGen's Rook I Project has been methodically advanced and designed to meet NexGen's elite environmental, safety, social and economic standards, working in lockstep with local Indigenous communities and partners. When fully operational, the Rook I Project will be the largest single source and environmentally elite uranium mine globally, incorporating state-of-the-art extraction and safety systems. In production, Rook I is capable of producing up to 30 million pounds annually - representing over 20% of the current global uranium fuel supply and over 50% of western world supply. With approvals secured, the Company is set to begin construction of the Rook I Project, advancing long-term economic benefits, skilled jobs, sustainable growth for the region, and Canada's nuclear energy leadership. The team, procurement, engineering, vendors, contractors and capital are in place to commence construction activities with advanced site and shaft sinking preparation. NexGen has already made its Final Investment Decision with official construction commencing in summer 2026. As per the Rook I Project schedule, construction will take 4 years from commencement.Leigh Curyer, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of NexGen, commented: "Today's approval represents one of the most rigorous and comprehensive regulatory processes undertaken for a resource project globally. This milestone is the result of the NexGen team's steadfast and unrelenting focus over 12 years understanding and delivering our objectives honestly and incorporating a culture of excellence. I am incredibly proud of our team - their resilience, accountability, and dedication to advancing Rook I optimally across all aspects. This approach is what has defined our success to date and will continue through successful execution of the construction and operations phases. We moved with purpose and confidence to deliver a new standard for resources development.On behalf of the NexGen Board of Directors, Executive team, and staff, we extend our sincere gratitude to our Indigenous Nation partners, local communities, Premier Scott Moe and the Government of Saskatchewan, Government partners, regulatory bodies, and all valued stakeholders who have contributed their expertise, trust, and dedication to the successful advancement of this generational Project over the past decade. Further, I would also like to acknowledge the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission in demonstrating and delivering the most rigorous review for a resources project globally, ensuring Canada leads the world in the safe and environmentally sound development of mining.The world is changing fast, and NexGen's Rook I is now ready to be a significant contributor to global requirements for nuclear energy and Canada's role as an energy superpower. As global demand for reliable, clean, baseload nuclear energy continues to accelerate at an unprecedented pace, uranium is the critical fuel for powering industrial electrification and the digital infrastructure of tomorrow. Simply put, energy is the key to our global growth. Nuclear is the chosen energy to supply that economic growth. NexGen is the foundational and necessary key to fueling that growth. Our team, our asset, and this moment are aligned in a way that comes along once in a generation. Together with our Nation partners and our many valued stakeholders, we are well prepared and ready to execute the construction phase of the Rook I Project with the same scope, schedule and cost precision that has defined NexGen since incorporation in 2011."About NexGenNexGen Energy is a Canadian company focused on delivering clean energy fuel for the future.

Beyond Tech: The Hidden Winners of the AI Energy BoomFebruary 17, 2026 11:08 AM
PR Newswire (US)

Issued on behalf of Eagle Energy Metals Corp.VANCOUVER, BC, Feb. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- USANewsGroup.com News Commentary – President Trump's directive to quadruple nuclear capacity[1] is currently colliding with a projection that AI data center consumption could double by 2026[2]. This creates a friction point where utilities are seeking to plug critical gaps in baseload generation before any grid failures, putting a massive spotlight on the domestic value chain represented by Spring Valley Acquisition Corp. II (OTC: SVIIF), Centrus Energy (NYSE: LEU), Constellation Energy (NASAQ: CEG), NexGen Energy (NYSE: NXE) (TSX: NXE), and NuScale Power (NYSE: SMR).The timing is pivotal because analysts are tracking a structural supply deficit heading into 2026[3]; mine production does not appear to be keeping up with these aggressive reactor requirements. When you factor in the Department of Energy allocating $2.7 billion to expand domestic enrichment[4], it becomes apparent that sovereign resource control is now a primary investment thesis driving this cycle.Spring Valley Acquisition Corp. II (OTC: SVIIF) a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) recently announced a pending merger with uranium miner Eagle Energy Metals, a next-generation nuclear energy company. The two companies announced this week that the SEC has declared its registration statement effective, clearing a key regulatory hurdle for its NASDAQ listing under the ticker NUCL. The company's shareholder meeting is scheduled for February 23, 2026, where investors will vote on the business combination. Notably, Spring Valley Acquisition Corp. II (OTC: SVIIF) is led by the same SPAC team that brought NuScale Power Corporation (NYSE: SMR) public in 2022.The registration approval follows Eagle Energy Metals' recent engagement with BBA USA Inc., a consulting firm tasked with designing a drilling campaign at the Aurora Uranium Project to support a Pre-Feasibility Study. Eagle Energy holds rights to what it describes as the largest open pit-constrained, measured and indicated uranium deposit in the United States. The Aurora deposit sits on the Oregon-Nevada border with 32.75 million pounds of indicated uranium and 4.98 million pounds inferred, based on over 500 drill holes."We're seeing sustained demand for nuclear power translate into real demand for uranium, particularly for projects located in the U.S.," said Mark Mukhija, CEO of Eagle Energy Metals. "Advancing Aurora with BBA is about making sure this asset is ready to meet that demand as the market continues to tighten."President Trump recently signed four executive orders aimed at removing regulatory barriers and quadrupling U.S. nuclear power over the next 25 years, while invoking the Defense Production Act to secure domestic uranium supply.Meanwhile, electricity demand is accelerating as AI, quantum computing, and cryptocurrency operations strain global grids. Meta recently announced plans to build a $10 billion AI data center in Louisiana powered by nuclear energy from Constellation Energy, while Microsoft, Amazon, Oracle, and Nvidia have struck major deals to power their operations with nuclear.Beyond uranium, Eagle Energy Metals also holds rights to Small Modular Reactor (SMR) technology. The company is advancing its asset as domestic uranium supply becomes increasingly prioritized.Centrus Energy (NYSE: LEU) has been awarded $900 million by the U.S. Department of Energy to expand its uranium enrichment facility in Piketon, Ohio, including commercial-scale production of High-Assay, Low-Enriched Uranium (HALEU). The company indicated that the project is expected to support thousands of American jobs, including 1,000 construction jobs and 300 new operating positions in Ohio, with the first new capacity expected to come online in 2029."This award represents a historic commitment to revitalizing America's nuclear fuel supply chain and reclaiming American nuclear leadership on the global stage," said Amir Vexler, CEO of Centrus Energy. "This award will catalyze additional private investment and supports the prospect of further expansion as the market continues to grow. Uranium enrichment in Ohio has a big future, and this is just the beginning."Centrus Energy has already announced that it has secured $2.3 billion in LEU purchase commitments from utilities and raised more than $1.2 billion in private capital via convertible note transactions to support its expansion plans. The total task order contract value with all options included reaches $1.07 billion, with up to $170 million in additional options to produce and deliver HALEU to the Department.Constellation Energy (NASDAQ: CEG) has completed its acquisition of Calpine Corporation from Energy Capital Partners, reportedly creating the nation's largest producer of electricity with 55 gigawatts of capacity. The combined organization unites Constellation Energy's zero-emission nuclear fleet with Calpine's natural gas and geothermal generation to serve more than 2.5 million retail and business customers nationwide."This isn't just about two great companies coming together – it's about strengthening America's future," said Joe Dominguez, CEO of Constellation Energy. "By uniting Constellation and Calpine, we're providing the reliable, clean energy that keeps our communities strong, our businesses competitive and our nation secure."Constellation Energy indicated that the acquisition strengthens its footprint in high-demand regions including Texas and California while maintaining significant operations in Illinois, Maryland, New York and Pennsylvania. With its expanded platform, the company indicated that it is positioned to scale new clean technologies including advanced nuclear, geothermal, carbon capture and sequestration, and long-duration storage.NexGen Energy (NYSE: NXE) (TSX: NXE) has announced the expansion of its high-grade subdomain at Patterson Corridor East, with the primary high-grade zone growing 23% in vertical extent from 335 m to 412 m across 210 m of strike length. The overall mineralized footprint expanded to 700 m vertical extent and 620 m strike length, with 67 of 102 drill holes returning mineralization including 17 intersecting off-scale readings."The 2025 drill program has rapidly advanced this new discovery, while underscoring the tremendous prospectivity of NexGen's 100% owned dominant land holdings which is driving the expanded activity in 2026," said Leigh Curyer, CEO of NexGen Energy. "The NexGen team is laser focused on concluding the final Federal permitting and licensing for the Rook I Project and immediately advancing through construction into production whilst simultaneously advancing the exciting PCE discovery and other high priority targets."NexGen Energy has announced that it has commenced a 45,500-meter 2026 exploration program, with 42,000 m of diamond drilling at PCE representing the largest program conducted at the discovery to date. The company will also conduct inaugural drilling at its 100% owned SW3 property with 3,500 m targeting high-priority greenfield areas in the southwest Athabasca Basin.NuScale Power (NYSE: SMR) announced that it has released study results from a techno-economic assessment conducted in collaboration with Oak Ridge National Laboratory demonstrating that its small modular reactor technology can profitably and reliably power commercial chemical plants. The two-year study found that a 12-NPM plant configuration is the most profitable, while a minimum 4-NPM configuration combined with boilers can meet all chemical plant requirements."As the first and only SMR to have our designs certified by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), NuScale continues to lead in the development of new technologies to provide process heat and electricity," said Dr. José Reyes, Co-founder and CTO of NuScale Power. "Delivering high-temperature steam with NuScale's scalable architecture provides industrial users with unparalleled flexibility that can be integrated into their processes and offers a promising new path for them to explore."The study reportedly demonstrated that the NuScale integrated energy system could meet chemical plant requirements of 1.3 million kg/h of process steam at 400°C while also providing 73 MW of electric power. NuScale Power remains the only SMR provider with NRC-certified designs, positioning it to serve diverse customers across electrical generation, data centers, desalination, and hydrogen production.CONTACT:USA NEWS GROUP

It feels like uranium names such as this remain tied to broader sector sentiment, and while the long-term thesis is intact, timing will depend on how quickly momentum returns to the space.

All the uranium plays have had a great run and now, appropriately, a healthy correction.

They're all now poised for the next leg up as the realisation slowly sinks into the brains of even the obtuse that "We're going to need uranium and lots and lots and lots and LOTS of it, to feed all the Small Modular Reactors that are going to be popping up like dandelions."
