Meta has signed nuclear power deals with Vistra, TerraPower and Oklo for up to 6.6 GW of capacity by 2035 to run its US data centres and the Prometheus AI supercluster in Ohio, adding to a 20‑year, 1.12 GW offtake from Constellation’s Clinton plant. In parallel, the Sprott Physical Uranium Trust has bought 300,000 lb of U₃O₈ in a week, lifting holdings to about 75.2 million lb worth US$6.17 billion, as spot prices hover around US$82/lb. For miners and project developers, this combination of long‑term nuclear PPAs and aggressive physical uranium accumulation signals firmer demand visibility despite persistent SMR cost and schedule risk.

Derrick Corporation has opened its Derrick Experience Center (DEX Center) in January 2026 to mark its 75th anniversary, creating a dedicated test hub for advanced fine screening technology. The “first-of-its-kind” facility is designed for current and prospective customers to run full-scale trials on Derrick high-frequency screens and Polyweb® urethane panels under controlled conditions, rather than relying solely on on-site pilots. The centre is intended to shorten test campaigns, de-risk screen selection, and optimise cut size and throughput for fine coal, iron ore, base metals and industrial minerals circuits.

La Mancha Resource Capital has sold a 3.5% stake in Endeavour Mining via a C$71.25-per-share bought deal worth about C$605 million, cutting its holding from roughly 15% to 11% while retaining board representation through Naguib Sawiris. Endeavour, now valued around C$17.5 billion after a 191% share price rise in 12 months, produces in the mid- to high-900,000-oz.-per-year range from West African assets including Houndé (Burkina Faso) and Ity and Agbaou (Côte d’Ivoire). The move comes as Burkina Faso has nationalised Endeavour’s former Boungou and Wahgnion mines, paying about $80 million and asserting full state control.
