Mart Wolbert: Uranium Bull Thesis Intact, "Half-time Break" Ending Soon

Mart Wolbert, analyst at Contrarian Codex, shared his latest thoughts on the uranium market, including what's next for prices and key factors to watch when it comes to supply and demand.

When asked how far the current cycle has progressed, he said that in the context of his "stadium" model, a concept he explained in a previous interview, uranium's half-time break is almost over.

"That's not to say that we won't have any water breaks in between as the equities pull back and go up. That's just the nature of the market, it's the nature of any market. Nothing goes up in a straight line," Wolbert said.

Rich Resources, Friendly Regulations Make Tanzania an Emerging Haven for Exploration

Investors examining the value propositions of mining projects require a greater understanding of local regulatory, geological and geopolitical landscapes. One emerging destination for explorers and miners is Tanzania.

The history of the Tanzanian mining industry moves from colonial governance, through African socialism and state control, to policies favourable to foreign investment. British and South African mining operations opened 100 years ago in the Mwadui area. During the Second World War, however, gold prospecting was banned.

After Tanzania became independent in 1961, state institutions controlled mining there until the 1990s. That’s when the government created the Investment Promotion Policy to attract international investors to the country’s diverse mineral resources base.

Although it may seem less popular than its hyped-up counterparts like rare earths and lithium, antimony’s industrial and strategic importance cannot be ignored. Antimony has for decades been crucial to countless sectors, and its military applications made US-produced antimony crucial to the Second World War.

Now, as the world moves towards a future defined by clean energy and decarbonization, it's arguably more important than ever — and a compelling addition to any investment portfolio.
