The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday, Sept. 25, edition that analysts at National Bank Financial believe the macroeconomic environment supports precious metal prices due to ongoing political uncertainty, declining real rates, persistent inflation and central banks continuing to be net purchasers. The Globe's David Leeder writes in the Eye On Equities column that the National Bank analysts continue to rate NexGen Energy "outperform." The analysts gave their share target a $2 boost to $14. Analysts on average target the shares at $14.62. On Wednesday the bank reaffirmed its bullish outlook for prices in the months ahead. National Bank analyst Mohammed Sidibe says in a note: "NexGen Energy owns the Rook I project, host to the flagship Arrow deposit, one of the world's largest undeveloped high-grade uranium deposits that is basement-hosted with the ability to be processed using conventional mining and processing methods, removing some of the engineering risks. Once producing, Rook I will have the capacity to produce close to 30 million pounds per annum in its initial years, representing over 20 per cent of current world production."
