The Uranium Supply Gap Is Getting Harder to Ignore | Leigh Curyer of NexGen Energy

In this conversation with Leigh Curyer, CEO of NexGen Energy Ltd. (TSX: NXE), we discuss what the final federal approval for the Rook I uranium project means, why the next phase for the company is now all about execution, and how NexGen is positioning itself as one of the most leveraged names to a rising uranium price. Leigh explains how the seven-year permitting process left the project unusually well prepared for construction, why the company believes the supply gap in uranium is only becoming more obvious, and how its contract strategy is designed to keep strong exposure to higher uranium prices over time.

We also get into the 48-month construction timeline, what the next 12 months should look like on site, why offtake interest remains strong across the US, Europe, and Asia, and what makes the PCE discovery so important to the longer-term upside at Rook I. What makes this discussion stand out is that it is not just about receiving a permit. It is about a company moving from years of preparation into construction, while sitting on a second emerging deposit nearby that could add even more long-term value.
