👋 Hi Legends,
Welcome back to the Welsh Bull newsletter.
Here Is The Play. 🐂
☢️ Australia unlocked uranium exports to 1.4 billion people.
📈 A small ASX explorer oversubscribed its raise in 24 hours.
🗺️ Field teams are already in the Northern Territory.
The catalysts are stacking.
The timing is not subtle.
Three things happened in the last 18 days that most Aussie investors completely missed.
• Australia signed a landmark uranium export deal with India.
• A small ASX uranium explorer oversubscribed its capital raise.
• Field teams are on the ground at a deposit with grades 25 times the world average.
Each of those stories matters on its own.
Together?
That is a thesis.
☢️ THE INDIA DEAL THAT JUST CHANGED THE MARKET
On July 10, the Association of Mining and Exploration Companies confirmed that Australia had finalised the administrative arrangements to export uranium to India under International Atomic Energy Agency safeguards.
This deal has been in the works for over a decade.
The Australia-India Nuclear Cooperation Agreement was signed years ago.
What changed this month is that the actual machinery to ship uranium is now in place.
Here is why that matters enormously.
🇮🇳 India wants to install 100 gigawatts of nuclear power by 2047.
Right now, nuclear accounts for just 3% of India's electricity generation.
The gap between those two numbers requires an enormous amount of uranium over the next two decades.
🇦🇺 Australia holds the world's largest known uranium reserves.
And until this month...
We could not sell them to India.
That door is now open.
AMEC called it a moment to restart the conversation around lifting mining bans in certain Australian jurisdictions.
The commercial opportunity is no longer theoretical.
India has 1.4 billion people and a legally binding energy target that depends on nuclear.
Australia has the uranium they need.
The deal is done.
⚡ WHY URANIUM IS THE ENERGY TRADE OF THE DECADE
Let me lay the macro case out simply.
The world is building nuclear reactors faster than at any point in 30 years.
🌍 Global nuclear capacity is on track to nearly double from 398 gigawatts to 746 gigawatts by 2040.
☢️ Uranium demand is forecast to rise 28% by 2030 and more than double by 2040.
Now layer in AI.
Every hyperscale data centre powering the models that run ChatGPT, Claude and everything that comes nextconsumes enormous electricity.
Not occasionally.
Continuously, 24 hours a day, every single day.
Nuclear is one of the only energy sources that can deliver that kind of reliable baseload power without carbon emissions.
A 2025 global investor survey by Uranium.io found that more than 63% of investors believe AI-driven electricity consumption will become a material factor in nuclear planning within the next decade.
Sprott Asset Management put it simply:
"Short term volatility masking increasingly bullish long-term fundamentals."
The supply side cannot keep up.
Mined uranium is forecast to meet less than 75% of future reactor requirements.
Years of underinvestment, long permitting timelines and declining secondary supplies are creating a structural deficit.
Forecasters are pointing to $100 to $120 per pound for uranium in 2026.
Some are calling $135 if supply keeps failing to respond.
📈 Rising demand.
📦 Constrained supply.
🏛️ A policy environment now moving in the right direction.
That is the backdrop.
☢️ GRV: WHAT JUST HAPPENED AND WHY IT MATTERS
Greenvale Energy (ASX: GRV) has been building quietly in the background of this newsletter.
This week it stepped forward.
📊 At A Glance
💰 Capital Raise: $3.25 million
✅ Status: Oversubscribed
👥 Director Participation: $100,000
📍 Project: Thunderball Uranium Project, Northern Territory
🎯 Priority Targets: 13
☢️ Historic Grades: Up to 30x world average
GRV completed a $3.25 million capital raise.
The original target was $3 million.
The raise closed oversubscribed.
New institutional investors joined the register.
Directors did not just oversee the raise.
They put $100,000 of their own money in.
When directors buy alongside retail investors at exactly the same price, that says something.
They see the same opportunity you do and they are backing it with personal capital.
The raise was priced at $0.033 per share with free attaching options at a 1:2 ratio, exercisable at $0.07 over two years.
If the project develops the way the geology suggests it can, those options become a significant part of the story.
💰 Where does the $3.25 million go?
Accelerating exploration at the Thunderball Uranium Project in the Northern Territory.
Mapping.
Sampling.
Drill target development.
And progressing the Pine Creek acquisition, which adds to an already significant land position in one of Australia's most historically productive uranium corridors.
📍 The context here matters.
Thunderball sits along the Hayes Creek Fault Zone.
This is the same structural corridor hosting some of Australia's most significant uranium deposits.
Historical drilling at Thunderball returned:
☢️ 10 metres at 25,381ppm uranium oxide
☢️ 10 metres at 29,500ppm
🌍 World average uranium grade: roughly 1,000ppm
These are grades 25 to 30 times the global benchmark.
The high-resolution airborne survey completed earlier this month identified 13 priority uranium targets.
Four sit directly along the Hayes Creek Fault Zone.
Field teams have been on the ground since mid July working through those targets starting with the highest-priority zones.
The Spectre Prospect is now inside Target DR6, the first area the crew worked.
Originally identified in 2009 by Spectrum Metals and never properly followed up for uranium.
It has come back onto the radar at exactly the right moment.
MD Alex Cheeseman:
"The results significantly increase our confidence in the potential of the Thunderball Uranium Project and the importance of the Hayes Creek Fault as a key controlling structure for discovery of uranium deposits in the district."
GRV trades at $0.038 AUD.
This is a 1% satellite position in my portfolio.
Speculative.
Small cap.
Long timeline.
Not a trade for everyone.
But the discovery thesis is building exactly as anticipated.
The India deal is background.
The field team is foreground.
The raise is the fuel.
₿ WHERE CRYPTO SITS THIS WEEK
Bitcoin finished the week down 2.6% to $63,609 USD.
Not the headline of the month.
But worth understanding.
😨 Sentiment
Fear and Greed sits at 30.
Fear territory.
The same territory that has preceded every meaningful rally in this cycle.
Ethereum was down 1.2% to $1,882 USD but the more interesting story is the ETF flows.
Spot ETH ETFs pulled in $104 million this week.
Bitcoin ETFs pulled in $33.9 million.
Institutions moved into ETH at three times the rate of BTC.
The ETH to BTC ratio is up 13% this month.
When institutional money moves like that, something is building beneath the surface.
📉 Weekly Performance
🔻 XRP: down 4.4%
🔻 SOL: down 5.0%
🔻 HYPE: down 10.1%
The CLARITY Act floor vote is expected this week with a 10 August deadline.
The sticking point has not moved: ethics provisions around elected officials and crypto assets.
Polymarket gives it a 32% chance of passing before recess.
The direction of travel does not change though.
US crypto legislation is inevitable.
The question is which quarter.
Samsung is adding stablecoins to Galaxy phones.
South Korea removed 29 unlicensed crypto exchanges and trading volume fell 89% overnight.
BitMEX is shutting down in September after 11 years.
The market is consolidating.
Not breaking down.
Consolidating.
There is a difference.

🐂 FINAL THOUGHT
Catalysts rarely announce themselves loudly.
Australia just opened the door to export uranium to a country with 1.4 billion people and a 100 gigawatt nuclear target by 2047.
A field crew is working through 13 priority targets on one of the highest-grade uranium projects in the Northern Territory.
A $3.25 million raise came in oversubscribed with directors backing it with their own capital.
All of this in an environment where AI is turbocharged nuclear demand, uranium supply is forecast to fall short of reactor requirements for the next decade, and global nuclear capacity is set to nearly double by 2040.
Meanwhile Bitcoin is holding $63,000 in Fear territory.
The same level that has preceded every significant move in this cycle.
The thesis is stacking.
The market is not paying attention yet.
That is the opportunity.
Protect the downside.
Press the upside.
See you next week,
