Summary

Uranium mining is a crucial stage in the nuclear energy production chain. During 
the past years, global demand for uranium increased more strongly than the output 
of uranium mines. As a result, prices have risen considerably. In turn, this is 
spurring new investments by mining companies in developing new uranium mines. 
To finance these investments, mining companies use the funds supplied by their 
financial stakeholders: shareholders, banks, bondholders.
Financial institutions involved in the financing of uranium mining companies, such 
as banks and asset managers, therefore play a crucial role in the further growth of 
the global nuclear energy sector.

For this reasons, World Information Services on Energy (WISE) has commissioned 
Profundo to research the involvement of international financial institutions in the 
financing of the uranium mining sector. In consultation, a group of 14 uranium 
miners was selected, including the world's largest uranium mining companies and 
smaller players with activities in Kazakhstan. Together, these 14 companies 
account for more than 90% of the world's uranium production.

This report provides an overview of the financial institutions which were involved 
since early 2003 in the financing of 14 selected uranium mining companies. For 
each company, the financial stakeholders are described and analyzed in a separate 
chapter. Each type of financial service (shareholding, lending, investment banking 
and other services) provided to the uranium mining company is discussed 
separately, providing details on the financial institutions' involvement.

The findings of this study are summarized on the first pages of this report.
