How are energy investors positioned?
WINNIPEG - Snow Lake Resources Ltd., also known as Snow Lake Energy (NASDAQ:LITM), a uranium exploration and development company with a market capitalization of $56 million, stands to gain from a recent Executive Order aimed at boosting American mineral production. The order, issued on Thursday, prioritizes uranium as a critical mineral for national and energy security and expedites the permitting process for domestic mineral projects. According to InvestingPro data, the company’s stock has shown significant momentum, surging over 52% in the past week alone.
The order, which also directs funding and investment support through various federal agencies, could significantly impact Snow Lake’s joint venture with Global Uranium and Enrichment Limited (GUE) on the Pine Ridge Uranium Project in Wyoming. This project is now expected to benefit from faster permitting and increased access to federal financing. While the company’s stock has demonstrated strong momentum with a nearly 90% gain over the past six months, InvestingPro analysis indicates current challenges, including negative EBITDA of $4.1 million in the last twelve months.
Frank Wheatley, CEO of Snow Lake Energy, expressed optimism about the Executive Order’s potential to transform the national energy policy and its implications for the Pine Ridge project. Located in the uranium-rich Powder River Basin, Pine Ridge is surrounded by major uranium operations and could play a key role in revitalizing the U.S. uranium supply chain.
The order’s measures include fast-tracking priority mineral projects, funding strategic mineral production, establishing a domestic mineral production fund, and supporting small business participation in the mineral sector.
Snow Lake’s portfolio also includes the Engo Valley Uranium Project in Namibia, which aligns with the Executive Order’s goal of securing international mineral supply chains. Amid rising global demand for uranium due to a nuclear energy renaissance, diversified mineral supply chains are increasingly important for energy security. Trading at $0.60 per share, the company currently appears overvalued according to InvestingPro Fair Value metrics, with 8 additional exclusive insights available to subscribers.
GUE, an Australian public listed company, is involved in uranium exploration and development and uranium enrichment technology. Snow Lake Resources Ltd. has a global portfolio of clean energy mineral projects, including three uranium projects and two hard rock lithium projects.
The Executive Order follows a report by the Centre for Strategic & International Studies, which highlights the vulnerabilities in the uranium-to-nuclear fuel supply chain and the minuscule U.S. contribution to global uranium production in 2022. The policy aims to bolster domestic production to support the country’s nuclear energy and defense needs.
