The Future Of Energy

Good Evening! 👋

Dear Investor,

Foremost Clean Energy: Uranium Meets Lithium at the Right Time

The clean energy transition is reshaping global markets, and two resources stand right at the center: uranium and lithium. Uranium fuels the growing fleet of nuclear reactors that governments are now fast-tracking to meet both climate and AI-driven energy demands. Lithium powers the batteries behind electric vehicles, storage systems, and the broader electrification of the grid.

Foremost Clean Energy Ltd, listed as FAT in Canada and FMST on the Nasdaq, is one of the few juniors trying to play in both worlds. The company has a large uranium exploration footprint in the Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan along with lithium projects in Manitoba. A press release this week showed how management is moving forward on both fronts: drilling has kicked off at the Murphy Lake South Uranium Property in Saskatchewan and at the Jean Lake Gold-Lithium Property in Manitoba.

That dual strategy may be a smart move in today’s market. Uranium prices are strengthening as supply struggles to keep up with long-term demand, while gold is hitting record highs and lithium remains essential for EVs and storage. By running exploration programs in both uranium and lithium at the same time, Foremost is positioning itself to capture value in whichever commodity delivers the bigger breakout first.

Why Uranium Matters Now

Uranium is no longer a niche energy metal. Nuclear energy is being treated as a national security issue. The U.S. has pledged to quadruple capacity to 400 GW by 2050. More than 30 countries have pledged to triple global nuclear capacity by mid-century. And AI data centers are now adding an entirely new layer of demand. Running AI models consumes staggering amounts of electricity, and tech giants like Microsoft, Google, and Amazon are already signing deals with nuclear providers to secure long-term baseload power.

At the same time, the supply side is fragile. The U.S. has banned Russian uranium imports by 2028. Kazakhstan, Niger, and other major exporters face instability. Utilities are racing to lock in contracts for the 2030s. That combination of rising demand and uncertain supply has driven uranium spot and term prices higher, and the long-term trend still points to a structural shortage.

Foremost’s Uranium Portfolio

This is where Foremost fits in. The company holds ten uranium properties across the Athabasca Basin, covering more than 330,000 acres. The Basin produces about 15 percent of the world’s uranium and is home to some of the highest-grade deposits on the planet.

The Murphy Lake South project, where drilling began in September 2025, is a good example. It sits along the LaRoque Lake Conductive Corridor, a geological trend that already hosts major deposits like Hurricane and Alligator. Previous drilling at Murphy Lake intersected grades up to 0.59 percent U3O8 over half a meter, which is meaningful given the global average grade is far lower. The current 2,500-meter drill program is designed to follow up on those anomalies and test new targets.

On top of Murphy Lake, Foremost also has projects at Hatchet Lake, Wolverine, Turkey Lake, and several others. Many of these are drill-ready, with historic exploration data pointing to uranium mineralization. What gives the portfolio extra credibility is its connection to Denison Mines, a C$2.9 billion Canadian uranium developer. Denison is not only Foremost’s largest shareholder with about 19 percent ownership but also provides technical and operational support. That backing helps reduce some of the execution risk and gives Foremost access to decades of Basin experience.

The Lithium Angle

While uranium is the lead story, lithium still matters for Foremost. The company’s “Lithium Lane” projects in Manitoba span more than 43,000 acres. Jean Lake, where drilling also just began, is a standout. Past programs there have hit both lithium and gold, including grades of 1.26 percent Li2O and over 90 grams per ton of gold in some intervals.

This dual mineralization makes Jean Lake unusual. It means Foremost has exposure not just to the long-term EV battery cycle but also to near-term gold upside. With gold hitting new highs, any expansion of known zones at Jean Lake could attract investor interest.

Financial Picture

Foremost is still an exploration company, so it has no revenue and carries the risks typical of early-stage miners. As of mid-2025, the company had a market cap of about C$60 million and roughly C$5.4 million in cash. With a tight share structure of around 12.7 million basic shares outstanding, it does not take much positive news to move the stock. The flip side is that financing will likely be needed to keep the drill rigs turning.

Risks

Investors need to be clear-eyed about the risks. Exploration is inherently uncertain, and drill results may not confirm economic mineralization. Financing risk is real given Foremost’s small cash balance. Commodity price volatility can also swing sentiment. Uranium could pause if contracting slows, lithium has been under pressure from oversupply concerns, and even gold can reverse quickly. Finally, while Denison’s backing is a major plus, Foremost is still a junior player in a basin dominated by bigger, better-funded companies.

Conclusion

Foremost Clean Energy is trying to carve out a niche at the intersection of uranium and lithium. The timing could be favorable. Governments are making nuclear a cornerstone of energy policy, AI is adding new demand for reliable power, and uranium supply is under strain. At the same time, lithium and gold provide upside through the company’s Canadian exploration projects.

With active drilling campaigns at Murphy Lake South and Jean Lake, and the credibility that comes with Denison Mines as a partner, Foremost has multiple shots on goal. It is still speculative, but for investors looking for early-stage exposure to uranium’s revival with bonus lithium and gold potential, this is a name worth watching.
