Bull points
- $700 million fundraising we just recently did
- we raised $700 million, and it was oversubscribed by more than 7x.
- we expect working capital to be somewhere between $900 million to $1 billion in working capital.
Bear points
- During the third quarter, we continued to strengthen our financial position as we're preparing to develop our long-term projects in the next couple of years, and we finished the quarter with $750 million in total assets. We also increased uranium revenues leading to an improved net loss of $16.7 million compared to the second quarter's net loss of $21.8 million, and we continued low-cost uranium mining at our Pinyon Plain mine. We expect this to continue to improve as we mine and produce low-cost uranium inventory and increase future uranium sales in the fourth quarter.
