By establishing a trading company, Uranium One aims to increase its share on the international uranium market through spot and midterm transactions, support for the company’s long-term portfolio of contracts, and development of a new direction — trading of metals and minerals in demand for “new” and nuclear energy as well as liquid exchange-traded metals. “The establishment of a trading company is a response to new realities and market trends. This will allow us to respond more promptly to requests, to effectively meet customers’ needs,”said Vasily Konstantinov, the President of Uranium One Group.
