Uranium

With around 440 nuclear reactors in operation worldwide, and another 96 additional reactors planned or under construction within the next 10 years, it's little wonder the exploration for uranium deposits continues despite the current global economic downturn.

In addition to uranium, WGM has advised clients and conducted exploration, due diligence, technical reviews and development studies on a broad range of commodities including lithium, Rare Earth Elements, and many other products.
