What are the top uranium stocks? Here’s a list of the companies on the TSX and TSXV with the biggest year-to-date share price gains.
Click here to read the latest top uranium stocks on the TSX and TSXV article.
After a strong start to the year, the U3O8 spot price began a downward trend midway through 2020.
It slipped below the US$30 per pound mark in the third quarter and remained at that level into Q4.
While uranium was unable to retain its early 2020 values, a number of producers and explorers still saw share price growth over the course of the year. Whether expanding drill efforts or raising capital, the sector has been busy with activity.
Below the Investing News Network has listed the top uranium stocks on the TSX and TSXV by share price performance so far this year.
All year-to-date and share price information was obtained using TradingView‘s stock screener on December 7, 2020. All companies listed had market caps above C$10 million at that time.
1. Baselode Energy (TSXV:FIND)
Year-to-date gain: 714.29 percent; current share price: C$0.57
Baselode Energy’s aim is to discover a uranium orebody in Saskatchewan’s Athabasca Basin area. The exploration company is focused on basement-hosted deposits, and its Shadow and Hook projects can be found just outside the prolific uranium hotspot in the Athabasca Basin 2.0 region.
Although it only began trading midway through the year, Baselode recorded a major gain and takes the first spot on this list of top uranium stocks year-to-date. Since its launch in June, the company has detailed plans at its Shadow and Hook properties and aims to start drilling in Q1 of next year.
The company’s highest share price point came in early October, just before it closed a $2.5 million tranche of a $3 million non-brokered private placement of both flow-through and non-flow-through units. The remainder closed in mid-October.
2. IsoEnergy (TSXV:ISO)
Year-to-date gain: 305 percent; current share price: C$1.60
Uranium exploration and development company IsoEnergy has a portfolio of uranium projects in the Eastern Athabasca Basin. According to the company, it recently discovered the Hurricane zone of uranium mineralization at its Larocque East property.
IsoEnergy has trended upward over the course of the year, and has steadily released drill results from Hurricane during that time. Aside from that, this year the company has staked new properties in the Eastern Athabasca Basin; it’s also agreed to sell several projects and closed financings.
3. enCore Energy (TSXV:EU)
Year-to-date gain: 258.82 percent; current share price: C$0.62
enCore Energy’s goal is to advance its US-based in situ recovery and conventional uranium properties. The exploration and development company is another of the top uranium stocks and holds over 115,00 acres of private mineral rights in New Mexico, including the Crownpoint and Hosta Butte uranium deposits. It also has assets in Utah, Arizona and Wyoming.
This year has brought steady upward momentum for enCore Energy. Its activities over that time have included appointing a new CEO and CFO, signing a deal to acquire Westwater Resources’ (NASDAQ:WWR) US uranium assets and closing a financing. enCore also formed Group 11 Technologies, a private venture whose aim is to test and implement non-invasive precious metals extraction technologies using environmentally friendly solutions.
4. International Consolidated Uranium (TSXV:CUR)
Year-to-date gain: 130 percent; current share price: C$0.68
Formerly NxGold, International Consolidated Uranium revealed a name and ticker change in early September. The company also announced a private placement at that time, later increasing it and then closing it on October 1 for gross proceeds of C$3.2 million.
In recent months, International Consolidated Uranium’s focus has been on adding uranium assets to its portfolio. It has option agreements in place with Mega Uranium (TSX:MGA,OTC Pink:MGAFF) and IsoEnergy, and at the beginning of December it closed an option agreement for the Moran Lake uranium-vanadium project with a private arm’s length party.
The company also holds 80 percent of the Western Australia-based Mount Roe gold project and can earn up to a 70 percent stake in the Kuulu gold project in Nunavut.
5. Forsys Metals (TSX:FSY)
Year-to-date gain: 100 percent; current share price: C$0.26
Emerging uranium producer Forsys Metals holds the Norasa project in Namibia, where it has completed a definitive feasibility study. According to the company, Norasa has proven and probable reserves of 206 million tonnes grading 200 parts per million U3O8, which equates to 91 million pounds of U3O8. Norasa contains the Valencia and Namibplaas assets.
There has been little news from Forsys this year. Its share price high points came in mid-April and early December, although the company remained steady between those periods.

Investor Insight
Generation Uranium offers investors high-leverage exposure to a potential major discovery in Canada’s underexplored and resource-rich Thelon Basin, led by a management team with a proven track record of securing high-value exits.
Overview
Generation Uranium (CSE:GEN, OTCQB:GENR, FRA:W85) is a Canadian exploration company focused on wealth creation through discovery within the uranium sector. The company’s primary strategy is to build a high-caliber exploration team that can rapidly test and drill high-potential targets, de-risking projects for potential takeover by larger producers. Currently centered in the prolific Thelon and Angikuni Basins of Nunavut, the company is also actively evaluating additional project acquisitions in the Athabasca Basin to expand its portfolio.

The company is led by a veteran management team with nearly 30 years of experience in mineral development. CEO Michael Collins has a significant track record of building and exiting public companies, including the co-founding of Bluerock Resources, a conventional uranium producer during the 2000-2008 cycle. This expertise is paired with a focused business model that leverages modern geophysical targeting to accelerate exploration timelines and reduce costs, ensuring the company can deliver results quickly in a bullish uranium market.
Company Highlights
- Strategic Location in a Premier Uranium District: The flagship Yath Project is located in Nunavut’s Thelon Basin, contiguous to ATHA Energy’s Angilak Project, which hosts the high-grade Lac 50 deposit.
- High-Grade Discovery Potential: Historical surface sampling at the Yath Project has yielded exceptional uranium grades, including boulders testing at 9.81 percent, 3.95 percent, and 2.14 percent U3O8.
- Expert Management with Exit Experience: Led by CEO Michael Collins, the team has decades of experience in mineral exploration and a history of co-founding companies that were later acquired, such as Prime Mining and Nuclear Fuels.
- Low-Cost, Rapid Exploration Strategy: By leveraging modern geophysics and extensive historical data, the company aims for a "short road to discovery," de-risking projects quickly to maximize shareholder value.
- Bullish Market Fundamentals: Generation Uranium is well-positioned to meet the growing global demand for carbon-free nuclear power, supported by a projected supply deficit and increased interest from major tech companies seeking clean energy.
Key Project
Yath Project - Nunavut, Canada
The Yath Project is Generation Uranium’s flagship project. This 100 percent owned property covers about 120 square kilometers within the underexplored Thelon Basin in Nunavut, Canada. The project is located where the Yathkyed and Angikuni sub-basins meet, which is a region known globally for high-grade uranium potential. It sits directly along the same trend as the Angilak Project owned by ATHA Energy (TSXV:SASK, OTCQB:SASFK, FWB:XSU.F), which contains the Lac 50 deposit, one of the highest-grade uranium resources found outside of the Athabasca Basin with a historical mineral resource estimate of 43.3M lbs at an average grade of 0.69 percent U3O8.

The Yath Project is contiguous to the Lac 50 trend and is crossed by several regional faults and basin boundaries. Past exploration work has already identified high priority targets, while surface sampling in the area has produced uranium grades from boulders, with some testing at 9.81 percent, 3.95 percent, and 2.14 percent U3O8.
The company has commenced its initial field program at the site, set to define and rank drill targets. Historic showings will be combined with new anomalies from the MMT geophysics survey, preparing the project for an anticipated drill permit.
