Citi Remains Tactically Bullish on Uranium; Forecasts Price Rebound in 2024

MarketJar

On behalf of Generation Uranium Inc. Uranium has been a major investment theme over the past 18 months, with prices rising from below US$60/lb to over US$107/lb in February. Although the market has declined steadily since, leading many investors to question whether to hold or exit, Citi maintains a "tactically bullish" outlook for the market’s potential in 2024 and beyond. 1 Citi's latest research attributes the recent price stagnation to low trading volume and liquidity but expects a rebound as investor focus shifts. Citi forecasts uranium prices could rise to US$98/lb later this year, with an average of US$94/lb. By 2025, prices could reach US$110/lb, implying a potential upside of 36%. Citi points to increased uranium production as a factor in the recent price dip, with Kazakhstan's output expected to reach 59 million lbs this year. However, production growth is expected to slow sharply later in the decade. Meanwhile, inventories are projected to fall by 20 million lbs by 2030, putting uranium production back at the center of price determination. On the demand side, Citi notes the growing need for low-carbon energy and rising global power consumption. While no new nuclear plants are currently planned, Citi expects utilities to focus on extending plant life and restarting shuttered facilities, potentially boosting uranium demand, especially in the US. As the broader uranium market shows signs of a potential recovery, companies like Generation Uranium (TSXV:GEN) (OTCQB:GENRF) are well-positioned to capitalize on this trend through strategic projects and exploration initiatives. Generation Uranium is making significant strides with its Yath Uranium Project in Nunavut, Canada. 2 The company holds a 100% interest in this project, which is located in the prolific and under-explored Thelon Basin. Yath is strategically positioned along the trend of the Lac 50 uranium deposit, which contains 43 million lbs of uranium and is currently being developed by Latitude Uranium, a company recently acquired by ATHA Energy for $64.7 million in an all-share deal. 3 Historical exploration at Yath has consistently indicated uranium concentrations between 1% and 10% U3O8, underscoring its potential. In June, Generation Uranium acquired the Yellow Frog and Pink Toad Uranium Projects along the Angilak Trend in Nunavut, Canada. These acquisitions expand the Company's Yath Uranium Project by over 45%, bringing its total coverage to 123.45 km². Yath now extends northward, coming within 3 kilometers of Atha Energy Corp’s Angilak Project. Generation Uranium Partners With APEX Geoscience and ATHA Energy to Advance Yath Uranium Project In a further move to advance the Yath Project, Generation Uranium (TSXV:GEN) (OTCQB:GENRF) has partnered with APEX Geoscience. APEX will provide geological consulting services and assist in preparing and submitting exploration authorization applications for a planned diamond drilling campaign. This collaboration includes coordination with key regulatory bodies such as the Nunavut Planning Commission, Nunavut Impact Review Board, and Kivalliq Inuit Association to ensure compliance with all regulations. This partnership builds on historical data pointing to significant uranium potential at Yath, with past explorations and recent surveys by Kivalliq Energy affirming the high-grade uranium deposits. The collaboration with APEX Geoscience emphasizes Generation Uranium ’s commitment to utilizing expert insights and advanced technology to maximize the Yath Uranium Project’s potential, setting the stage for future development and regional economic growth. To accelerate exploration, Generation Uranium (TSXV:GEN) (OTCQB:GENRF) has launched an advanced airborne electromagnetic survey at the Yath Project, in partnership with ATHA Energy Corp. The survey is being conducted by Expert Geophysics Ltd., a leader in geophysical survey technology, using its cutting-edge Mobile MagnetoTellurics (MMT) system. This system, known for its precision, will employ the latest airborne AFMAG (Audio-frequency Magnetic) technology to identify electromagnetic (EM) anomalies across the 123.45 km² property. The survey will cover 890 line-kilometers with a 150-meter line spacing, gathering high-resolution magnetic and VLF data. The collaboration with ATHA Energy allows Generation Uranium to leverage economies of scale, reducing costs and speeding up the exploration process. CEO Anthony Zelen expressed confidence in the project, highlighting the strategic partnership and advanced technology as key factors in advancing Yath towards drilling.

The Potential Of Ketamir-2: A Safer Treatment For Mental Health Disorders And Neuropathic Pain, IND Filing Expected By Year-End

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga Treating mental health is constantly evolving, bringing new therapies and hope to people battling depression, treatment-resistant depression (TRD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other neuropsychiatric conditions. Not all therapies work for everyone, but sometimes an exciting treatment emerges. Ketamine, originally developed as an anesthetic, falls into that category. In recent years, it has been repurposed as a rapid-acting antidepressant, particularly for patients who have not responded to conventional treatments. While often effective, ketamine’s widespread use has been limited by its side effects and low oral bioavailability. Traditional ketamine requires intravenous or intranasal administration, which can be inconvenient and impractical for at-home treatment. Additionally, ketamine’s interaction with multiple receptor sites in the brain can lead to unwanted side effects such as dissociation, hallucinations and, in some cases, psychotic symptoms. Tweaking Ketamine But that doesn’t mean ketamine has to be written off as a new treatment for mental health. It just needs to be tweaked. That’s where MIRA Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: MIRA) and Ketamir-2 come in. A pre-clinical-stage pharmaceutical company, MIRA is refining this treatment with its oral ketamine analog, Ketamir-2. MIRA Pharmaceuticals says Ketamir-2 is a groundbreaking compound that has the potential to revolutionize the way mental health disorders and neuropathic pain are treated, offering a safer and more effective alternative to traditional therapies. The company is on track to file an Investigational New Drug (IND) application by the end of the year, marking what it says is a significant milestone in bringing Ketamir-2 closer to clinical trials. Ketamir-2 is designed to overcome the challenges of existing ketamine treatments by creating an agent that is more targeted. Ketamir-2 selectively inhibits the NMDA receptor at the PCP-binding site with 30 to 50 times lower affinity than traditional ketamine. This selective inhibition can reduce the risk of dissociation and hallucinations, providing a cleaner, safer therapeutic experience for patients. Preclinical studies have so far found that Ketamir-2 offers a superior safety profile compared to traditional ketamine. MIRA Pharmaceuticals said one of the most significant findings is that Ketamir-2 does not induce hyper-locomotor activity – a behavior associated with psychotic symptoms – making it a potentially safer option for patients. Better Oral Absorption Could Be Game-changing Another discovery MIRA Pharmaceuticals reports, is Ketamir-2’s non-substrate status for P-glycoprotein (P-gp), a membrane protein that typically limits drug entry into the brain. This means that Ketamir-2 can more effectively cross the blood-brain barrier, leading to better oral absorption and higher efficacy at lower doses. This feature is particularly important for patients seeking convenient, at-home treatment options. On top of all that, MIRA Pharmaceuticals says Ketamir-2’s principal metabolite, Nor-Ketamir, boasts nearly 100% oral bioavailability and sustained plasma residence. This means that once Ketamir-2 is administered orally, it is efficiently metabolized into Nor-Ketamir, which remains in the bloodstream longer, providing extended therapeutic effects. The development of Ketamir-2 Pamoate, a new salt form, further enhances these benefits by ensuring higher plasma and brain levels with a longer half-life, reports the company. Treating Chronic Pain Too Beyond depression and mental health issues, MIRA Pharmaceuticals said studies are ongoing to assess Ketamir-2’s effectiveness in treating neuropathic pain, a chronic and debilitating condition that has an estimated prevalence of 6.9% to 10% worldwide. The dual potential of Ketamir-2 to address both mental health disorders and neuropathic pain could represent a significant advancement in patient care, offering a versatile and effective treatment option. The potential of Ketamir-2 and Nor-Ketamir to offer effective, at-home treatment options for mental health disorders and neuropathic pain could prove to be a game-changer. The convenience of oral administration, combined with the drug’s safety and efficacy, could significantly improve patient adherence to treatment and overall outcomes. Further, the company says toxicology studies have validated Ketamir-2’s safety profile, with no observed toxicity at very high doses in animal models. Ketamine holds a lot of promise in treating mental health but the side effects are limiting adoption. Ketamir-2 could change that by addressing the limitations of traditional ketamine and offering a safer, more effective alternative. If the preclinical trials are any indication, Ketamir-2 could provide hope for many sufferers. For more information about MIRA Pharmaceuticals and its novel compounds, visit MIRA Pharmaceuticals.
