Triton Uranium considers listing in the US through a merger with a special purpose acquisition company in 2026, as the company aims to capitalize on the growing demand for nuclear fuel and strengthen national supply. The Canadian company has begun development work on its Atlas Uranium City project in Saskatchewan, where it holds around 46,742 acres of mining concessions.
Triton has raised nearly $16 million in private funds, which it plans to use to advance exploration for a potential stock listing. The company is considering a future stake sale to the American or Canadian government, reflecting increasing political efforts to secure critical mineral supply chains, according to Mr. Evans.
Interest in nuclear energy has grown as electricity demand rises, partly driven by data centers supporting artificial intelligence and cloud infrastructure. X-Energy, a reactor developer backed by Amazon, recently raised about $1.02 billion in a US IPO, highlighting investors’ renewed interest in the nuclear sector.
At the same time, uranium supply remains limited after years of underinvestment. Reuters reported in January that US mining production was again on the rise, but is expected to reach only about 1 million pounds this year, well below the annual consumption in the US, which exceeds 50 million pounds.
Triton is gearing up to launch a 10,000-meter drilling program on four priority targets, including the Dubyna mine area, with drilling set to begin in June. Earlier this year, Denison Mines Corp and NexGen Energy received approval from the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission to start construction on their Wheeler River and Rook I projects, respectively, in northern Saskatchewan – the first authorizations granted for new uranium mines in Canada since 2004.
