YELLOW CAKE PLC
■ Spot market activity declined during the month of June with a total of 4.4 Mlb. transacted, as compared to 6.4
Mlb. the previous month
■ The UxC U3O₂ price strengthened reaching US$32.10 /lb., an increase of US$0.70/lb. for the month
■ In early June, the Taishan-1 reactor owned by Guangdong Nuclear Corporation (51%), Electricite de France
(30%) and Guangdong Energy Group (19%) reported a build-up of inert radioactive gases in its primary circuit /
reactor coolant which lead to a small leak into the environment
■ A failure in five fuel rods was cited as the cause of the build-up which remained within operating / regulatory
specifications
■ The initial uncertainty surrounding the incident caused some spot market buyers to withdraw from the market
resulting in a decrease of monthly volume
Term Market Overview
■
Activity in the uranium term market increased somewhat as new demand emerged from a U.S. utility seeking
slightly more than 1.1 Mlb. for delivery in the period, 2022-2025
■ UxC reported that "Other activity continues in the market as several utilities have been in discussions with
potential suppliers or evaluating unsolicited offers"
Despite the incremental uptick in activity, the UxC Long-Term (LT) price remained unchanged at US$32.00 /lb.
Sprott and UPC
■ The proposed plan of arrangement which would transform Uranium Participation Corporation (“UPC") into a
closed end investment trust managed by Sprott Asset Management (SAM) with UPC becoming a subsidiary of
the Sprott Physical Uranium Trust (SPUT) received resounding support from UPC shareholders in a 7 July vote
■ 99.9% of the votes cast supported the plan which now requires clearance from the Ontario Superior Court of
Justice (Commercial List) and other regulatory approvals
