During the quarter to June the company was able to raise £25.9mln and use the proceeds to buy 1.175mln pounds of uranium from Kazatomprom.

The successful conclusion to a recent investigation in the US into the uranium market provides a positive context for the company’s operations going forward, said chief executive Andre Liebenberg.
