Uranium Play: Pegasus Resources Stock (PEGA.V)
Pegasus Resources stock (PEGA.V) is an exciting play as nuclear power has a unique spot in transitioning from fossil fuels to sustainable energy. Nuclear energy can provide baseload power without the environmental damages that coal or natural gas emissions produce. It is also a stable energy source compared to solar and wind energy, which varies. Mining uranium can raise concerns as it could cause environmental damages if not done correctly, but Pegasus Resources will erase all of these concerns. Pegasus Resources Inc. is a diversified Junior Canadian Mineral Exploration Company focusing on uranium, gold, and base metal properties in North America.
Nuclear will Power the Future
According to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the high case projection has global nuclear-generating capacity increasing from 392 GWe in 2019 to 475 GWe by 2030, 622 by 2040, and 715 by 2050. Choosing nuclear options can result in several cases, whether it be for environmental or electric freedom. Recently, European countries are suffering from energetic dependency as many countries bought Russia’s resources. For example, an eraser-sized uranium pellet contains the same energy as 120 gallons of oil or 17,000 cubic feet of natural gas. This allows nuclear power plants to efficiently generate large amounts of electricity, making them one of the cleanest energy sources per GWh of electricity produced. Uranium can produce tremendous energy and has one of the lowest CO2 emission ratios being environmentally beneficial.
Pegasus currently holds four Uranium properties located northeast of the prolific Athabasca Basin of northern Saskatchewan:
- The Wollaston Northeast Property: located about 45 km northeast of the Eagle Point Uranium Mine;
- The Bentley Lake Property: located approximately 35 km northeast of the edge of the Athabasca Basin.
- The Mozzie Lake Property consists of two claim blocks situated approximately 25 and 40 km northeast of the edge of the Athabasca Basin.
The company owns plenty of other projects including:
- the Energy Sands Project: the project consists of sandstone-hosted uranium and vanadium mineralization with demonstrated potential to establish resources;
- the Golden Project: the project features three properties located along the British Columbia – Alberta border;
- the Millionara Project: the property is approximately 25 km northwest of the Jerritt Canyon Gold Mine, recently purchased by First Majestic Silver Corp. in a $470 million-plus share deal. Jerritt Canyon has produced over 9.5 million ounces of gold since 1981.
Recently as of April 7th, the company announced the hiring of Dahrouge Geological Consulting Ltd to manage the field exploration work on the newly acquired Energy Sands Uranium Project located in Emery County, Utah.
