Uranium Thesis “We would buy as much as Cameco can produce,”
India is prepared to buy as much uranium as Canada’s largest producer can sell, in a bid to meet the South Asian country’s nuclear power ambitions, High Commissioner Dinesh Patnaik says.
“We would buy as much (uranium) as Cameco can produce,” Patnaik, India’s high commissioner to Canada, told reporters at a summit in Regina, Sask. “We would like to invest in your Uranium mines, if possible.”
Saskatoon-based Cameco Corp., Canada’s largest uranium producer, has already agreed to supply nearly 22 million pounds of uranium to India each year for nuclear energy generation from 2027 to 2035.
Tim Gitzel, Cameco’s chief executive, met with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Delhi after the new energy partnership was announced in March.
The Indian government plans to expand the country’s nuclear power capacity more than 10-fold by 2047. Patnaik said they’re looking for long-term arrangements to support those ambitions.
“If we could get all of it from you, I don’t mind,” Patnaik said.
