Western Uranium (WUC) has satisfied the obligations of its Uranium Concentrates Supply Agreement, signed in 2015.

The agreement was with a major U.S. utility for delivery from 2018 to 2022. Final delivery was made in April 2022, and payment was received in May 2022.

Western sold 125,000 pounds of uranium yellowcake (U3O8) at $57.04 per pound, generating gross revenues of $7.13 million. The U3O8 sold was sourced from the uranium inventory that Western acquired in its Strategic Acquisition of Physical Uranium.

This U3O8 was acquired at $32.16 per pound or a gross acquisition cost of $4.02 million. A gross profit of $3.11 million will be recognized for the second quarter of uranium yellowcake sale.

During 2022, Western has also benefited from a series of value-added transactions.

The company anticipates a realignment of uranium and nuclear fuel markets as the majority of the world transitions away from dependency upon Russian state-owned enterprises.

Western Uranium & Vanadium is a Canada-based company involved in the industrial metals and mines business. It focuses on exploring, developing, mining, and producing its uranium and vanadium resource properties.

Western Uranium & Vanadium Corp. (WUC) was up 11.11 per cent, trading at C$1.40 per share at 2:00 pm ET.
