” We are pleased to complete the purchase of additional uranium from Kazatomprom, in line with the strategy we set out at the time of our IPO, to buy and hold physical uranium and benefit from the clear long-term fundamentals of the commodity. We continue to expect that we will see a steady and sustained rise in the price of uranium, despite near-term uncertainty which has resulted in some end users delaying major purchasing decisions. Our confidence in our model and the long-term outlook is unchanged.”
