Paladin operates in the mineral resource sector with focus on uranium and has projects in Australia and Africa. In line with its long term vision to establish as a uranium producer, the Company’s strategy is to identify, acquire and evaluate advanced uranium projects. Since 1998, during a period of sustained downturn in global uranium markets, Paladin had been accumulating a quality portfolio of advanced uranium projects each having production potential. The strengthening of the uranium market continues. With the looming supply shortages, strong upward pressure on uranium oxide (UO) prices is expected to be maintained offering Paladin an excellent opportunity to capitalise and become a significant supplier of natural uranium. Production has commenced on the Langer Heinrich Uranium Project in Namibia and the BFS has been completed on the Company’s Kayelekera Project in Malawi with activities for development commenced. These are believed to be the two most advanced uranium projects in Southern Africa. Browse for Australian stockbroker recommendations. Check your charts and good luck with your share trading!
