World’s Biggest Uranium Mine Now Just 3.5 Years Away? | Leigh Curyer – NexGen Energy

In this interview, Leigh Curyer, CEO of NexGen Energy Ltd. (TSX: NXE) (NYSE: NXE) (ASX: NXG), shares significant developments in their Rook I project and perspectives on the uranium market.

Curyer begins by highlighting a major milestone: the completion of their final Federal technical review, marking significant progress in the permitting process. This achievement brings them closer to construction of what is planned to be the world’s largest uranium mine, with a projected annual production of 30 million pounds.

He provides his outlook on the uranium market, suggesting prices could surpass $200/lb. This bullish view is based on supply constraints and increasing demand, particularly from tech giants entering the nuclear energy space.

Curyer details the project’s specifications, including a $1.6B USD construction cost and 42-month timeline to completion. Once operational, Rook I is expected to help Canada overtake Kazakhstan as the world’s largest uranium producer.

The discussion also includes updates on utility contract negotiations and the project’s environmental and social initiatives, demonstrating NexGen’s commitment to responsible development.
