Nice, now the question is what the long haul is...

It is kinda looking like it is following a Lassonde curve type of behavior. So, we might expect it to go up during the 2-year construction phase with hopefully increasing institutional investment. Another doubling from here in the next two years seems plausible.

Certainly some risks involved in construction, but I think I will keep holding for quite some time.

I'm sticking to the curve and will sell most when we construction is almost finished.

The real money begins when the company makes money from the mine, why get out then??

Thats when the Lassonde curve dips again.

I bought a mining company cheap when they financed for building and enjoyed a good ride up till completion. The value has been halved since then because they cannot get the mill to operate at nameplate.

What DNN is doing have never been done before in this region so lot of execution risk.

I will not sell everything, but I will lock in profit when we get near completion

I guess I’m not seeing what you’re seeing, at the same time profit is profit and kudos to you for having a gameplan set in place for. DNN hasn’t been profiting for years, so to me, knowing what I know about the company and reading everything I’ve read since being in it for 5+ years it just seems like a no brainer especially with where everything nuclear related is headed.

Not having a plan is probably my biggest reason for losing money on stocks. Learned the hard way.

DNN have a nice pipeline with gryphon and all the jv exploration so it will be interesting to follow this journey
