Key Fund Facts1 

Ordinary Share and NAV Performance2 

Commentary3 

The Company's NAV rose 18.4% over the month against a stronger uranium price backdrop. The spot U3O8 price ended the month up 3.7% at $74.3/lb with support arising after a $200m equity placement by the Sprott Physical Uranium Trust for the purpose of acquiring more material. The Company's return compared to a sterling gain of 18.0% registered by the Solactive Uranium Pure Play Index.

Early in the month, first Meta and then Amazon announced that they had formalised long-term

nuclear power purchase agreements with Constellation Energy and Talen Energy respectively to power their data centres, helping buoy sentiment. Subsequently, the Sprott Uranium Trust

continued to buy uranium, funded by its upsized equity issue which allowed it to purchase nearly 1.5Mlbs of U3O8 during June, taking its total holding towards 68Mlbs by the end of the month.

Nexgen made a strong contribution to performance with the share price rising nearly 12% in June. Encouragingly, the incoming and pro-nuclear Canadian government held a conference among its top ministers to assess projects of national strategic importance. This included energy and critical minerals, a move which would appear supportive for the future development of Nexgen's globally significant Arrow project in Saskatchewan. The development is awaiting its final court hearings, currently scheduled to take place in early 2026. Elsewhere, Ur-Energy also made a strong contribution, with the shares rising over 28% over the month, as the group continues to ramp-up production from the restarting Lost Creek ISR Project. Paladin and Cameco were also helpful with their share prices rising 29% and 26% respectively.
