The Next Big Uranium District Like Athabasca | Forum Energy with Rick Mazur

In this interview at the Commodities Global Expo 2024, Richard J. Mazur, President & CEO of Forum Energy Metals Corp. (TSXV: FMC), provides insights into the evolving uranium market and his company’s strategic position within it.

Mazur begins by highlighting the significant shift in nuclear power sentiment, particularly noting the entry of tech giants like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft into the space. He provides historical context by outlining three major waves in uranium: the 1973 Arab Oil Embargo, the 2004-2011 Chinese nuclear build, and the current wave driven by climate change and supply security concerns.

The CEO explains Forum’s ambitious mission to develop the next major uranium district in Nunavut, drawing parallels to the prolific Athabasca Basin. He highlights their strategic location near Orano’s significant KiC deposit, which contains 133 million pounds of uranium, suggesting the region’s potential for major discoveries.

Mazur emphasizes the growing importance of North American uranium supply, particularly in light of China’s recent deal with Kazakhstan. This geopolitical context underscores the strategic value of developing domestic uranium resources.

The interview concludes with details of Forum’s ongoing exploration program, which has yielded promising results across more than 20 high-potential targets.
