The 92 Energy Ltd (ASX: 92E) share price boomed in September thanks to the recent hype around uranium spot prices.
92 Energy listed on the ASX on 15 April after successfully raising $7 million at 20 cents per share.
The company said it is the first pure-play uranium company to list on the ASX in more than a decade after uranium prices plunged from 2007 peaks of US$136/lb to around US$30/lb in 2020.
What's driving the 92 Energy share price?
The 92 Energy share price joins the long list of booming ASX uranium shares, most of which are rallying to multi-year highs.
This is largely thanks to skyrocketing uranium spot prices, which have jumped to 9-year highs of US$48/lb on Wednesday, according to S&P Global Platts.
It was just a month ago that uranium prices were fetching just ~US$30/lb.
The sudden jump in uranium prices has pumped life back into ASX uranium shares across the board.
The largest ASX-listed uranium player, Paladin Energy Ltd (ASX: PDN) has rallied 126% in the last month to a fresh 9-year high.
Other emerging producers and explorers including Deep Yellow Limited (ASX: DYL), Peninsula Energy Ltd (ASX: PEN) and Boss Energy Ltd (ASX: BOE) have all rallied triple digits in the past month.
What's so special about this uranium company?
The 92 Energy share price has returned faithful IPO investors more than 400% in just 5-months.
The company is exploring for high-grade, unconformity-type uranium in the Athabasca Basin, Canada.
This region is known for having some of the highest grade and lowest cost uranium deposits in the world, according to 92 Energy.
