A three-way merger between uranium explorers 92 Energy, Atha Energy, and Latitude Uranium is progressing as planned. The deal will create scale, unlock value across a combined portfolio of high-potential uranium assets, and provide capital to accelerate exploration.
The market reaction has been positive with strong share price appreciation seen in all three companies since announcing the intention to merge. The enlarged entity, to be called Atha Energy post-completion, will control over 300,000 hectares focused in Canada's prolific Athabasca Basin.
In particular, 92 Energy’s CEO Shan Lancaster highlights the largely underexplored 14 km Gemini trend at the company’s flagship Gemini project as a "good probability" for additional high-grade uranium discoveries. Prior drilling has already delivered promising hits up to 8.5m at 6.88% U3O8 near the surface. This initial success points to the potential for a broader deposit cluster analogous to the nearby world-class Arrow-Triple R district.
The merger plans remain on track with the scheme booklet outlining details to go to 92 Energy shareholders by late February, ahead of a scheme meeting vote expected in the last week of March. Assuming approval, completion would occur around mid-April. Crucially, this provides good timing to launch extensive summer field programs across the expanded portfolio to build momentum into 2024.
Lancaster explains that behind the scenes uranium market tightness exceeds recent public spot price gains. Contract negotiations reveal meaningful lifts in floor pricing and ceilings for long-term deals. This foreshadows further marked upside in published benchmarks as current prices around $100 per pound remain below levels required to incentivize adequate new mine supply. Equities thus offer catch-up potential as underlying physical fundamentals strengthen.
Consolidated Uranium intends to aggressively explore its assets to capitalize on the next uranium bull run. Investors can gain leverage to an improving macro backdrop through exposure to this well-funded, technically strong athletic combination, crystallizing around promising uranium jurisdictions.
