Ur-Energy Inc. (NYSE:URG) announced plans to develop its Shirley Basin mine in Wyoming, aiming to nearly double its mine production capacity to 2.2 million pounds of uranium. The decision is driven by a growing uranium sales contract book, strong market prices, and anticipated demand for clean nuclear power. The project, with initial capital costs of $24.4 million and operating expenses of $24.40 per pound, is expected to offer substantial margins given the current uranium price of around $90 a pound. The development comes amid a surge in uranium prices, driven by expectations of a global nuclear power renaissance and potential market disruptions. Other companies like Cameco Corp (NYSE:CCJ), Energy Fuels Inc (NYSE:UUUU), Denison Mines Corp. (NYSE:DNN), Uranium Energy Corp. (NYSE:UEC), and IsoEnergy Ltd (OTC:ISENF) are also expanding their uranium production capacities.
