Uranium gets a catalyst

Rook I project is considered to be the largest development-stage uranium deposit in Canada.

The Japanese company is considering buying a roughly 20% interest in the Sentinel and Kansanshi mines.

Russia, the world's largest supplier of enriched uranium, said last week it had imposed temporary restrictions on the fuel's export to the US.

Nippon is looking to close its $14.9 billion deal for US Steel by the end of the year.
