The Boss Energy Ltd (ASX: BOE) share price is charging higher again today. Shares are currently trading at 22 cents, up 10% from yesterday's closing price.

Below we take a look at what's driving ASX investor interest in the uranium explorer.

What's driving ASX investor interest?

There is no news out of the company today. However, the Boss Energy share price closed up more than 8% yesterday after the explorer reported on its plans to launch a seismic reflection program at its Honeymoon Uranium Project, located in South Australia.

Seismic surveying isn't commonly used in the exploration of shallow minerals. Historically it's been more the realm for crude oil exploration. But Boss says it will enable faster drilling, lower the environmental impact, and cut exploration costs.

Boss intends to survey 2 promising zones it previously identified in a drilling program with the intent to grow its uranium inventory.

With no new releases out of the company, it appears investor sentiment is still buoyed by the pending rollout of the modern seismic reflection system, and perhaps the fairly bullish outlook for uranium in a world looking to rapidly ween itself off fossil fuels.
