Taarifa Rwanda Published 12 hours ago 2shares Botswana’s multibillion dollar uranium deposit project which could have started three years ago is still to take off due to the collapse of uranium market worldwide. Uranium mining companies saw their stock prices plunge on Monday after news emerged that a nuclear power plant in Southeast China flagged a performance issue. Canadian uranium mining companies Cameco and NexGen Energy dropped 10% and nearly 9%, respectively, and a basket of uranium-related companies tracked by the Global X Uranium ETF fell 6.5%. Uranium does not trade on an open market like other commodities. Buyers and sellers negotiate contracts privately.
