Global uranium production expected to grow modestly in 2025, due to temporary mine disruptions
On 1 January 2025, operating activities at the Inkai mine were suspended due to Inkai LLP's failure to secure the requisite approvals from the relevant authorities. This lack of essential permits compelled the company to halt production. Theproduction suspension was subsequently resolved later that month when the necessary paperwork was finalised. However, leading data and analytics company GlobalData anticipates this temporary disruption to result in a 2.5% decline in the country's uranium output in 2025.
In Canada, uranium production has been significantly supported by the restart of major mines, including McArthur River. Previously shut down due to low prices and difficult market conditions, these mines have resumed operations and contributed to Canada's position as the second-largest uranium producer, with a 23.4% share of global output in 2024.
Meanwhile, Namibia's uranium sector is poised for substantial growth following a period of subdued production. In 2024, production reached 7.1 kilotonnes, driven by the restart of the Langer Heinrich mine. Looking ahead, a 17.5% year-over-year increase is expected in 2025, mainly due to the ramp-up at Langer Heinrich and stable output from Husab and Rossing.
Looking ahead, over the forecast period, global uranium production is expected to grow at an 8% compound annual growth rate (CAGR), reaching 91.6 kilotonnes by 2030. Several uranium projects are under development or expansion, particularly in key production regions such as Kazakhstan, Canada, and Australia, positioning the industry for long-term growth as demand for nuclear energy continuesto rise.

Cerrado Gold Inc.'s (CVE:CERT) Stock On An Uptrend: Could Fundamentals Be Driving The Momentum?
Cerrado Gold (CVE:CERT) has had a great run on the share market with its stock up by a significant 36% over the last month. We wonder if and what role the company's financials play in that price change as a company's long-term fundamentals usually dictate market outcomes. Specifically, we decided to study Cerrado Gold's ROE in this article. Return on equity or ROE is an important factor to be considered by a shareholder because it tells them how effectively their capital is being reinvested. Put another way, it reveals the company's success at turning shareholder investments into profits. AI is about to change healthcare. These 20 stocks are working on everything from early diagnostics to drug discovery. The best part - they are all under $10bn in marketcap - there is still time to get in early. How Do You Calculate Return On Equity? Return on equity can be calculated by using the formula: Return on Equity = Net Profit (from continuing operations) ÷ Shareholders' Equity So, based on the above formula, the ROE for Cerrado Gold is: 3.8% = US$1.8m ÷ US$47m (Based on the trailing twelve months to March 2025). The 'return' is the amount earned after tax over the last twelve months. Another way to think of that is that for every CA$1 worth of equity, the company was able to earn CA$0.04 in profit. Check out our latest analysis for Cerrado Gold What Is The Relationship Between ROE And Earnings Growth? So far, we've learned that ROE is a measure of a company's profitability. Depending on how much of these profits the company reinvests or "retains", and how effectively it does so, we are then able to assess a company's earnings growth potential. Generally speaking, other things being equal, firms with a high return on equity and profit retention, have a higher growth rate than firms that don't share these attributes. Cerrado Gold's Earnings Growth And 3.8% ROE As you can see, Cerrado Gold's ROE looks pretty weak. Not just that, even compared to the industry average of 10%, the company's ROE is entirely unremarkable. However, we we're pleasantly surprised to see that Cerrado Gold grew its net income at a significant rate of 22% in the last five years. Therefore, there could be other reasons behind this growth. Such as - high earnings retention or an efficient management in place. Next, on comparing with the industry net income growth, we found that Cerrado Gold's growth is quite high when compared to the industry average growth of 18% in the same period, which is great to see. Earnings growth is a huge factor in stock valuation. The investor should try to establish if the expected growth or decline in earnings, whichever the case may be, is priced in. Doing so will help them establish if the stock's future looks promising or ominous. Is Cerrado Gold fairly valued compared to other companies? These 3 valuation measures might help you decide. Is Cerrado Gold Making Efficient Use Of Its Profits? Cerrado Gold doesn't pay any regular dividends to its shareholders, meaning that the company has been reinvesting all of its profits into the business. This is likely what's driving the high earnings growth number discussed above. Conclusion In total, it does look like Cerrado Gold has some positive aspects to its business. With a high rate of reinvestment, albeit at a low ROE, the company has managed to see a considerable growth in its earnings. While we won't completely dismiss the company, what we would do, is try to ascertain how risky the business is to make a more informed decision around the company.

Donald Trump's next target could be deal that shields most Canadian imports from tariffs, experts warn
Canada's biggest shield against U.S. tariffs is still intact after Donald Trump's latest trade deadline, but that could change by next year, experts warn, as Prime Minister Mark Carney prepares for a new round of talks with the mercurial American president. While Trump raised the tariff on Canadian goods to 35 per cent in an executive order Thursday night, an exemption for goods which comply with the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) was maintained. The order was signed after Ottawa and Washington failed to reach an economic and security deal. That means, most economists agree, that roughly 90 per cent of Canadian exports will still enter the U.S. tariff-free. But, warned BMO chief economist Douglas Porter, that agreement is up for renegotiation in 2026. 'Even though we're in a relatively good spot right now, I don't think that should give us much confidence in the longer term,' Porter said Friday. With CUSMA-compliant goods facing no tariffs, and sector-specific tariffs of 50 per cent on steel and aluminum, Canadian goods currently face an average tariff in the low single digits. But that could easily change when the agreement is renegotiated, Porter added. The fact that Canadian negotiators weren't able to get any agreement lowering the 35 per cent tariff — or cutting sector-specific tariffs — ahead of Trump's Aug. 1 deadline isn't exactly reassuring either, Porter said. 'It really does raise some questions over how smoothly the renegotiation of (CUSMA) is going to go,' said Porter. 'We're going to come into it with the U.S. holding this 35 per cent over our head.' Shortly after midnight on Thursday, just after the hike came into effect, Carney said he was 'disappointed' by Trump's decision, after Canadian officials spent several days this week hunkered down in Washington meeting with U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and representatives of Senate Republicans. 'We remain committed to CUSMA, which is the world's second-largest free trade agreement by trading volume,' Carney's statement read. 'Other sectors of our economy — including lumber, steel, aluminum, and automobiles — are, however, heavily impacted by U.S. duties and tariffs. For such sectors, the Canadian government will act to protect Canadian jobs, invest in our industrial competitiveness, buy Canadian and diversify our export markets.' Dominic LeBlanc, Carney's point-person on Canada-U.S. trade, told Radio-Canada's 'Midi info' that Canadian officials have always maintained that they 'wouldn't accept just any agreement.' 'We'd accept an agreement that was in the interests of workers, of the Canadian economy, and at the end of the day yesterday that agreement wasn't in sight,' LeBlanc said Friday, as he was set to leave Washington after meeting with Lutnick on Thursday. The head of the association representing small businesses said Canada avoided the worst-case scenario this week by keeping CUSMA-compliant goods tariff-free, but said the country is not out of the woods yet. In next year's renegotiation, the U.S. could give preferential status to goods which comply with CUSMA — but that doesn't mean they'd still be duty free, warned Dan Kelly, CEO of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business. 'That's absolutely one of the prospects I fear,' said Kelly of the idea that U.S. negotiators would try to put tariffs on CUSMA-compliant goods. 'There's also nothing stopping him from pulling out of CUSMA altogether. That would be the nuclear scenario.' A senior official with the Canadian Chamber of Commerce also said Canadian businesses need to be wary of the CUSMA revamp, and any lingering uncertainty until it's completed. 'The review could start Monday,' said Matthew Holmes, the chamber's head of public policy. 'But we're going to be talking about CUSMA until 2026, and that's the third act of this play.' At the moment, Holmes estimated, Canadian exports to the U.S. face an average tariff of anywhere from 2.9 to five per cent, which still gives this country the best treatment of any American trading partner. Still, Holmes isn't under any illusion that that low rate will continue — even if Canada's access remains better than most. 'I think it's reasonable to expect they come to the table with a baseline tariff,' Holmes said of U.S. negotiators. 'If they establish a floor of 15 per cent on the world and we come in at 10, we're in relatively good shape, but it's still not great for our businesses.' For sectors like steel and aluminum which still face targeted tariffs, the continuation of the CUSMA exemption didn't provide much comfort at all, said Catherine Cobden, CEO of the Canadian Steel Producers Association. 'What we see is some of our largest trading allies, both with us and the United States, accepting and normalizing 50 per cent tariffs,' said Cobden. 'That cannot happen in the case of Canada.' 'We don't have months to wait for a USMCA process. We are in the thick of it now,' she said. Dan Ujczo, an Ohio-based international trade lawyer, said in spite of sectoral pressures, Canada needs to get a clearer sense of the deals the White House has struck with the European Union, Japan and South Korea. 'Canada and Mexico started these negotiations with the best access to the United States in the world. They don't want to put themselves in a position now to accept a deal where that's going to get them less access to the United States than any other trading partner, so I think we still need to see what those other parties have agreed to,' said Ujczo, who has also worked for both Canadian and U.S. governments. Ujczo also said it's time for Carney and other Canadian political leaders to dial down the partisan rhetoric. On Friday, the Conservatives and the NDP accused Carney of failing to improve circumstances for Canadian workers. 'This is a negotiation,' Ujzco said. 'The political campaigns are over now.'
