Generation Uranium Bolsters Presence in Uranium-Rich Thelon Basin

MarketJar

On behalf of Generation Uranium Inc. As the world moves towards a global energy shift, uranium is emerging as a crucial element in the transition to clean, sustainable power and creating an exciting opportunity for companies like Generation Uranium Inc. (TSXV:GEN) (OTCQB:GENRF) (FRA:W85). Generation Uranium is a natural resource company that holds a 100% interest in the Yath Uranium Project, located in the prolific and under-explored Thelon Basin in Nunavut, Canada. Yath is situated along trend from the 43 million lbs Lac 50 uranium deposit, which is being advanced by Latitude Uranium, a company acquired by ATHA Energy Corp in an all-share transaction valued at $64.7 million. 1 Historical exploration at the Yath Project has consistently revealed uranium concentrations between 1% and 10% U3O8, highlighting its significant promise. 2 On June 20, Generation Uranium Inc. (TSXV:GEN) (OTCQB:GENRF) ( FRA:W85) expanded its stake in the Thelon Basin with the strategic acquisition of the Yellow Frog and Pink Toad projects on the Angilak Trend in the Yathkyed Basin. This expansion to the east and west increases the land package at Yath Project by over 45%, making the project a district-size endeavor uniquely positioned at the interface of two sub-basins, Yathkyed and Angikuni, within the Thelon Basin. Generation Uranium ’s Yath project now covers an area of 123.45 km², extending due north and coming within three kilometers of the district-scale uranium project currently being developed by Atha Energy Corp. The adjacent Angilak Project by Atha Energy, with its historical 2013 NI 43-101 inferred mineral resources, contains 2,831,000 tonnes of ore at an average grade of 0.69% U3O8 and 0.17% molybdenum 3. This comprises an estimated 43.3 million pounds of U3O8 and 10.4 million pounds of molybdenum. Recognized globally for its proven economic potential alongside other notable unconformity basins like Athabasca in Saskatchewan and McArthur in Australia, the Thelon Basin stands out as a fertile ground for high-grade uranium deposits. This strategic positioning gives Generation Uranium a strong presence in the region, enhancing its potential for discovering high-grade unconformity-type uranium deposits as well as IOCG (Iron Oxide Copper Gold) deposits similar to those found at Olympic Dam. "With the acquisition of the Yellow Frog and Pink Toad Uranium Projects, we are significantly expanding our uranium exploration potential at Yath," said Generation Uranium President and CEO Anthony Zelen. "These strategic additions strengthen our position in the Yathkyed Basin, reinforcing our commitment to becoming a prominent player in the uranium sector." Generation Uranium Partners with APEX Geoscience to Propel Yath Project Forward Last week, Generation Uranium Inc. (TSXV:GEN) (OTCQB:GENRF) ( FRA:W85) announced a strategic partnership with APEX Geoscience to bolster its exploration efforts at the Yath Uranium Project in Nunavut, Canada. This collaboration involves APEX providing comprehensive geological consulting services aimed at advancing the project towards a highly anticipated diamond drilling campaign. Under the new agreement, APEX Geoscience will handle the preparation and submission of all necessary exploration authorization applications for the upcoming drilling program. This includes meticulous groundwork and communication with the Nunavut Planning Commission, the Nunavut Impact Review Board, and the Kivalliq Inuit Association, ensuring that all regulatory and community considerations are met. The engagement of APEX comes at a crucial time as Generation Uranium aims to capitalize on historical data indicating significant uranium potential at Yath. Previous explorations have revealed high-grade uranium concentrations, with recent surveys by Kivalliq Energy reinforcing these findings. The partnership underscores Generation Uranium 's commitment to leveraging expert knowledge and cutting-edge technology to unlock the full potential of the Yath Uranium Project, paving the way for future development and economic benefits in the region.

Looking To Diversify And Increase Potential Gains Through Small-Cap Investing? This Actively Managed ETF Might Have What You’re Looking For

Benzinga

By Anthony Termini, Benzinga Many investors rely on a core portfolio built with large-cap stock and bond index funds to accomplish long-term objectives. However, a portfolio of big-name stocks and investment-grade bonds does not necessarily provide the comprehensive diversification that a size and style allocation offers. This is why investors might want to consider adding small-cap stocks to an otherwise well-diversified portfolio. Small-cap stocks make sense for many investors for two important reasons. From a diversification perspective, small caps help spread (and lessen) overall portfolio risk. More importantly, small-cap stocks often outperform large-cap stocks – even in times of economic turbulence like those often experienced during election years. Investors looking to add small caps to their portfolios might consider the AlphaMark Actively Managed Small Cap ETF (NASDAQ: SMCP). The ETF offers an opportunity to expand a passive core strategy in pursuit of additional alpha (i.e., higher returns). This is a primary reason to own an actively managed fund. Why Investors Might Want To Consider The AlphaMark Actively Managed Small Cap ETF The AlphaMark Actively Managed Small Cap ETF owns many of the component companies of the Russell 2000 index, which is made up of domestic equity securities of small-cap companies. The fund’s managers, Michael Simon, CFA, CPA and Andrew Becker, use a proprietary methodology to identify companies that they see as the best risk/reward opportunities. According to Michael Simon, AlphaMark’s President and Chief Investment Officer, the team is “looking for companies with a proven history of consistent growth, sustainable earnings momentum, and the ability to produce a reliable stream of cash flow during all economic cycles.” Simon notes that “when you own the whole index, you get everything – the good, the bad and the ugly. We eliminate most of the chaff because our selection and screening process starts with the top market cap stocks in the Russell 2000.” These companies typically have stronger balance sheets and higher net operating margins than their peers. This universe of about 400 stocks then goes through AlphaMark’s internal stock screening process. The AlphaMark Actively Managed Small Cap ETF Investment Approach The fund managers follow a bottom-up investment approach when picking stocks within the identified universe – emphasizing individual stock analysis over macroeconomic factors. They employ a multi-tiered selection process to identify companies with reasonable debt-to-capital ratios, positive earnings momentum, reliable cash flows and a history of meaningful cash profits (EBITDA margins). The fund seeks to own about 100 stocks, each representing about 1% of the portfolio when the investment is initiated. The objective is to buy appropriately priced stocks that create growth opportunities that the broader index may not be able to achieve. Another advantage of AlphaMark’s Actively Managed Small Cap ETF is that it can underweight or overweight its allocation to the individual business sectors represented by the index. The fund owns each sector in the Russell 2000 and may allocate as little as 50% or as much as 150% of the index’s weighting to any given sector. “Our ability to underweight or overweight sector allocations lets us make high conviction investments in companies we consider to be the most promising opportunities without being constrained by how it’s represented in the index,” said Simon. He added, “We think this has benefited investors.” Investment Returns And Outperformance The AlphaMark Actively Managed Small Cap ETF had significantly outperformed the Russell 2000 on a 1-year basis as of May 31, 2024, delivering a 30.31% return compared to the index’s 20.12%. Similar outperformance was achieved over the three-year period as well. It should be noted that the ETF currently maintains a lower weighting on technology stocks than Russell 2000. The fund has benefitted from overweighting relative to the index in the energy, basic materials and financials sectors. The fund’s top three holdings (all under 1.5% of the total portfolio) include precision optical manufacturer Fabrinet (NYSE: FN), cryptocurrency and blockchain ecosystem company Marathon Digital (NASDAQ: MARA) and measurement and inspection tool manufacturer Onto Innovation (NASDAQ: ONTO). Furthermore, this actively managed ETF seeks to deliver higher returns without subjecting shareholders to high fees. The AlphaMark Actively Managed Small Cap ETF, with total assets of approximately $32 million as of May 23, has a 0.90% expense ratio. For those seeking to create exposure to small-cap stocks or diversify their allocations to the asset class, the AlphaMark Actively Managed Small Cap ETF represents an option that could enhance overall portfolio diversification and potentially deliver incremental investment returns above what an indexed ETF might deliver. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. The investment return and the principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data cited. Current month end data is available at 859-957-1803.

Read it carefully before investing. Investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. When the Fund invests in ADRs as a substitute for an investment directly in the Underlying Shares, the Fund is exposed to the risk that the ADRs may not provide a return that corresponds precisely with that of the Underlying Shares. The Fund is non-diversified, meaning it may concentrate its assets in fewer individual holdings than a diversified fund. Therefore, the Fund is more exposed to individual stock volatility than a diversified fund. A Fund that concentrates its investments in the securities of a particular sector area may be more volatile than a fund that invests in a broader range of industries. The Fund invests in foreign securities which involve political, economic and currency risks, greater volatility and differences in accounting methods. These risks are greater for investments in emerging markets. The Fund invests in smaller companies, which involve additional risks such as limited liquidity and greater volatility. REITs may have limited financial resources, may trade less frequently and in limited volume, and may be more volatile than other securities. Investing in investment companies, such as ETFs will subject the Fund to additional expenses of each investment company and risk of owning the underlying securities held by each. ETFs may trade at a premium or discount to their net asset value. ETFs are bought and sold at market price and not individually redeemed from the fund. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. Active investing has higher management fees because of the manager’s increased level of involvement while passive investing has lower management and operating fees. Investing in both actively and passively managed mutual funds involves risk and principal loss is possible. Both actively and passively managed mutual funds generally have daily liquidity. There are no guarantees regarding the performance of actively and passively managed mutual funds. Actively managed mutual funds may have higher portfolio turnover than passively managed funds. Excessive turnover can limit returns and can incur capital gains. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Alpha measures the difference between a fund’s actual returns and its expected performance, given its level of risk. Russell 2000 Growth Index measures the performance of the small-cap segment of the U.S. equity universe. It includes approximately 2,000 of the smallest securities based on a combination of their market cap, growth characteristics and current index membership. A core/alpha generating satellite investment strategy involves investing the majority of a portfolio in passive investments and the remainder in active management. Cash flow is the total amount of money being transferred into and out of a business. Intrinsic value is the actual value of a company based on an underlying perception of its true worth. EPS(Earnings Per Share) is the portion of a company's profit allocated to each outstanding share of common stock. Price earnings is the ratio of a stock’s price over that company’s last 12 months earnings. Price sales is the ratio of a stock’s price over that company’s last twelve months sales.

The Rise Of Cboe Global Markets' 0DTE Options: How Traders Are Making The Most Of This Strategy

Benzinga

By CBOE In recent years, the financial markets have witnessed a transformative shift with the rise of 0 Day to Expiry (0DTE) options, especially within the S&P 500 index options (SPX) space. This shift is largely attributed to the removal of commission charges by brokers, a surge in retail investor participation and an increased focus on risk management strategies post-COVID-19. Amid these changes, Cboe Global Markets Inc. (BATS: CBOE) has played a pivotal role in catering to the evolving needs of the market. But why is there more demand for these instruments, and how are they being used by traders? The Dual Edges Of 0DTE Options It may be a surprise to many, but the allure of 0DTE SPX options is about more than chasing quick profits, which certainly challenges the prevailing notion that it is just a high-risk trading vehicle. The reality, according to Cboe, is that a majority of traders engaging with 0DTE options come equipped with a deep understanding of the option "greeks" to employ sophisticated, defined-risk strategies. According to Cboe data, 95% of 0DTE trading volume is characterized by strategies with well-defined risk that are designed to capture time premium, with a preference for selling call and put vertical spreads. For context, call and put vertical spreads are the simultaneous purchase and sale of two options of the same type (calls or puts) but with different strike prices and (usually) the same expiration date. The goal is to capitalize on the price difference between the options. However, this calculated approach doesn't negate the inherent risks associated with 0DTE options. Market changes can greatly affect how these options behave, making them more unpredictable and increasing the chance of having to buy or sell the asset unexpectedly, especially with American-style options. While concerns have been raised about 0DTE trading's potential to drive market volatility and systemic risks, Cboe's insights suggest such impacts are minimal. However, Cboe recommends that traders have a solid plan for managing risks and deciding when to exit these trades. Mastering 0DTE Options Strategies Trading 0DTE options isn't for the faint-hearted, as it requires a blend of sophistication and strategy. As alluded to, a foundational strategy in the 0DTE playbook is selling call or put spreads. This approach allows traders to express a bullish or bearish stance on the market with a predefined risk profile. The beauty of this strategy lies in its simplicity: collect a premium upfront with a clear understanding of the maximum profit and loss that is possible, which hinges on the market's movement in relation to the chosen strike prices. Call Spreads: These capitalize on sideways or slightly bullish market conditions, aiming to keep the option out of the money for maximum profitability. Put Spreads: These take the opposite approach, ideal for a slight bearish tilt or neutral market behavior, with profitability maximized if the options expire worthless. Iron Condors are another popular 0DTE options strategy, targeting a range-bound market.

Dentalplans.com Addressing The Gap In Dental Care Accessibility Through Affordable Dental Plans

DentalPlans.com

By Mangeet Kaur Bouns Dental care is a crucial aspect of personal health and hygiene, profoundly influencing a person’s ability to eat, speak and maintain overall well-being. Poor oral hygiene is linked to numerous health issues, including cardiovascular disease, respiratory infections, diabetes and adverse pregnancy outcomes. In addition to physical health, poor dental health can affect mental and emotional well-being, leading to issues such as low self-esteem and social anxiety. Despite the critical importance of oral health, access to quality dental care remains a significant challenge. Many people face barriers such as high costs and lack of insurance coverage, which prevent them from receiving the dental care they need. DentalPlans.com, the largest online marketplace for dental savings plans and dental insurance, seeks to address this gap by making dental care more accessible and affordable for everyone. The company’s mission is to achieve dental care equality in America – ensuring everyone has an equal opportunity to access quality dental care. High Costs Prevent Access To Essential Dental Care Oral health is a vital yet frequently overlooked component of general health. Regular dental check-ups and cleanings can mitigate common oral diseases such as tooth decay, bad breath, dry mouth, periodontitis and oral cancer. Despite this, many people in the U.S. do not visit the dentist at least once a year, as health experts recommend. In 2022, nearly 14% of children and adolescents in the U.S. experienced oral health problems. This statistic underscores the importance of early and regular dental visits to prevent long-term health issues. The deficit in dental coverage is immense. Nearly 69 million U.S. adults did not have dental insurance or access to routine oral health care in 2023, according to a survey by the nonprofit CareQuest Institute for Oral Health. Additionally, millions more lost dental insurance last year when states began to unwind Medicaid coverage for people who signed up during the COVID-19 pandemic. This loss of coverage means that many people who need dental care choose to wait until minor problems turn into larger, sometimes life-threatening, issues. For those who rely on programs such as Medicaid or federally qualified community health centers, getting timely dental appointments is often a struggle. Only one in three U.S. dentists agree to take Medicaid patients, and even fewer see a substantial number of them. These statistics illustrate the urgent need for more affordable dental care solutions, which DentalPlans.com aims to provide through affordable, flexible dental savings plans. DentalPlans.com: Pioneering Affordable Dental Care For 25 Years This year, DentalPlans.com celebrates its 25th anniversary. Founded in Florida over two decades ago, the company has since become a national leader, having helped over a million people access quality dental care through direct-to-consumer dental savings plans and dental insurance plans. By offering dental savings plans – an affordable alternative to traditional dental insurance – DentalPlans.com is helping consumers afford the care they need without sacrificing quality. Dental savings plans operate similarly to membership programs at warehouse stores. Plan members pay a low annual fee to join and then receive reduced rates on almost all dental services, including major procedures like crowns, braces, implants and dentures. These plans provide a cost-effective solution for individuals who may not have dental insurance through their employers or those on Medicare, which does not cover regular dental care. Plans From Top Healthcare Brands Understanding that each individual’s dental needs are unique, DentalPlans.com is committed to ensuring everyone finds the most suitable and cost-effective dental plan for their specific needs. The company has introduced an innovative online quiz that asks a few questions and provides personalized plan recommendations within minutes. All plans are from top healthcare brands, including Cigna, Aetna, Careington, Humana and more. By partnering with such brands, DentalPlans.com has over 25 high-quality plans for users to choose from. And with an extensive network of over 140,000 dentists nationwide, plan members can use their plan to save on their dental care no matter where they’re located. Committed To Promoting Oral Health And Overall Well-Being The company’s journey from a start-up of two entrepreneurs to an online leader in dental care access exemplifies the transformative power of innovation and commitment to social impact. By continuously seeking new ways to make dental care more accessible and affordable, DentalPlans.com plays a pivotal role in oral health outcomes for millions of Americans. DentalPlans.com’s mission to make quality dental care accessible and affordable for everyone remains at the forefront of its operations as it celebrates its 25th anniversary. By offering dental savings plans and working to eliminate financial barriers to dental care, DentalPlans.com continues to push society closer to true dental care equality. The company's ongoing efforts ensure that cost is no longer a barrier to essential oral health care, promoting a healthier future for all. Feeling lost among countless dental plans?
