Paladin Energy Ltd's stock price surged 5.44% during intraday trading on Friday, marking a significant upward movement for the uranium-focused company.
The price increase follows the company's announcement that it received ministerial approval for its Environmental Impact Statement for the Patterson Lake South (PLS) project development in Canada's Athabasca Basin. This regulatory milestone represents a crucial step forward for the project and signals progress toward potential future production.
Earlier in the trading session, Paladin Energy had requested a trading halt pending an update on the approval status for its PLS project, indicating the market was anticipating significant news regarding this key asset in the company's portfolio.
