Lakeland is a pure play uranium exploration company focused on the Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan, Canada. The Athabasca Basin is a premiere geologic district for hosting the world's richest uranium deposits, with a well established mining infrastructure and politically stable environment for investment. Several significant discoveries have been made in the Basin over the last several years including: Phoenix (Denison), Roughrider (Hathor), J-Zone (Fission/KEPCO) and Patterson Lake South (Alpha/Fission).

Lakeland has acquired 100-percent of nine projects covering over 100,000 hectares in the Basin. Initial exploration will focus on the South Pine, Riou Lake and Otherside Properties where three priority targets have been outlined for fieldwork and drilling. The Company will benefit from the substantial historic exploration expenditures incurred on the properties as well as improving fundamentals for the uranium sector.


Uranium Market:

Uranium demand is largely driven by energy demands. The spot price of uranium is currently US$39.85/lb U3O8 (Source: UxC). There are currently approximately 434 nuclear reactors in operation world-wide. Global electricity demand is expected to grow significantly through 2030 and the number of nuclear reactors is rising to meet it. 67 new reactors are now under construction - new build levels not seen since the 1970s - as well as an additional 159 planned and 318 proposed to 2030 (Source: World Nuclear Association). The bulk of the new units are in four countries - China, India, Russia and Korea. Several near term catalysts for the uranium market include (i) increased clarity on Japanese restarts; (ii) increased Chinese utility buying; and (iii) the culmination of the Russian HEU "Megatons to Megawatts" agreement by year-end (Source: Raymond James). Sentiment for the uranium market appears to be on the upswing with several significant M&A transactions over the last few years including Rio Tinto's approximately $650M acquisition of Hathor Exploration Ltd. in 2011 and Russia's ARMZ recent $1.3 billion bid to take Uranium One private.
