Ashley Gold (ASHL.C) does deal for pre-drilled US uranium asset right by future mill
When we last talked about Ashley Gold Corp (ASHL.C), we framed things as a one-man show diligently working his ass off to progress a gold property that had plenty of potential but was facing headwinds due to the general market malaise on gold.

Lancaster Resources (LCR.C) adds a second run at green energy with uranium play
Traditionally, mid-to-large sized public companies stick to their knittting. A biotech company stays in biotech, a weed company stays in weed, a gold company shies away from oil and gas.

Beyond Lithium (BY.C) shifts from accruing to drilling to monetizing, and you get the savings!
Our friends at Beyond Lithium (BY.C) went on an absolute spree over the last year, accruing more lithium projects in Ontario than any other explorer.

Uranium price jumps to 16 year highs on supply concerns
The last time I provided an update on the uranium charts was when uranium took out 2022 highs last year. Here are the charts to refresh your memories: I put more emphasis on the second chart, the longer term chart, as a major resistance zone at $75 was to be tested. Pretty much the only…
