Ten Tips for Investing in Uranium Stocks
1. Past Ownership: Look for mining stocks early in their cycle. Properties previously held by major players during past bull markets often hold significant potential.
2. Ore Value: Assess the ore body’s value per tonne. Weigh all costs involved and prefer investments beyond mere exploration unless there is exceptional management and substantial financial backing.
3. Experienced Management: Prioritize companies with proven and successful management teams.
4. Strong Shareholders: Companies with significant stakes held by management or notable investors tend to value their equity more, reducing the likelihood of reckless stock issuance.
5. Infrastructure: Evaluate the property’s infrastructure, considering costs for electricity, water, and proximity to essential facilities such as mills and transport routes.
6. Hidden Value: Identify companies with valuable existing infrastructure or resources, such as expensive shafts or mills, that justify the market cap. Databases of past drilling can also offer significant potential.
7. Emerging Opportunities: Invest early in companies that are not yet widely covered by analysts or media.
8. Pro-Mining Environments: Favor properties in regions with a government supportive of mining. This can include countries offering tax incentives and other benefits to attract investment.
9. Capital Costs and Currency: Low capital costs lower project risk. Consider the impact of local currency fluctuations on project economics. A depreciating currency can enhance project profitability.
10. Impactful Funding: Strategic funding can transform a company's outlook. Institutions can make a substantial difference in overcoming financial hurdles, as seen with past investments in companies like Aflease and Tournigan.
