An RB Milestone Group report discussed the rationale for investing in this firm.

In a June 20 research note, RB Milestone Group made four key points about Western Uranium Corp. (WUC:CSE; WSTRF:OTCQX), a Colorado-based company that is exploring its uranium and vanadium assets in Colorado and Utah.

1. The company could achieve significant cost savings and efficiencies by capitalizing on its ablation mining technology (AMT), the rights to which it acquired in 2015. By using AMT to process uranium and vanadium ore, Western Uranium could decrease its costs, generate less waste and produce high-grade products. “AMT is capable of reducing ore quantity by up to 90%, thereby reducing downstream transportation and processing costs by approximately 90%,” RB Milestone explained. “This technology also increases the recoverable resources by making lower cutoff grades economic.” The company is currently awaiting regulatory approval of this patented technology.

2. The company has a resource base that consists of an estimated 70 million pounds of uranium and 35 million pounds of vanadium, the latter with grades between 1.4 and 2%. The resources and grades at specific assets are as follows:

• Sunday mine complex: more than 2.9 million pounds U3O8, grade 0.25–0.36%
• San Rafael project: more than 3 million pounds U3O8, grade 0.25–0.33%
• Sage mine: 581,905 pounds U3O8, grade 0.15–0.23%
• Hansen/Taylor project: 65.38 million pounds U3O8, grade 0.058–0.062%.

Western Uranium has an agreement in place to supply uranium to a utility firm in the United States. Also, in June 2018, the company entered a joint venture agreement with Battery Mineral Resource Nevada to develop vanadium at the Sage mine.

3. The company has a “strong and qualified management team,” according to RB Milestone. To name a few members, George Glasier, the founder, president and CEO, has worked in the uranium industry for more than 40 years and has ample experience in project development and sales and marketing.

Robert Klein, the chief financial officer and previously the company’s vice president, has expertise in financial operations, including reporting, public stock listing and corporate transacting.

Michael Rutter, the vice president of operations, has 20-plus years of experience in developing and running mines.

4. The company could benefit from the “expected” increase in the uranium price, currently US$21.50, RB Milestone noted. The factors that should boost the uranium price include increased uranium demand stemming from the growing need for nuclear energy, production cuts by major uranium producers, decreasing uranium stockpiles, and the addition of nuclear reactors around the world. As of Feb. 1, 2018, 57 nuclear reactors were being built, 158 were proposed and 351 were planned for construction.

Western Uranium is trading today at around CA$0.77 per share.
