Daniel Major is the CEO of GoviEx Uranium and addresses the recent surge of the uranium spot price and uranium equities in this interview. Some uranium equities have doubled in the past month and the spot price has risen to over $31/lb whereas it was only about $24/lb a month ago. Is the uranium bull market sustained upcycle commencing? Or will this be another head fake like that which has disappointed uranium speculators in the past few years?
