AERO Targets High-Grade Uranium As Nuclear Demand Grows As demand for energy intensifies due to AI advancements—predicted to increase data center power requirements by 160% by 2030—nuclear energy is gaining prominence as a stable, cost-effective alternative.
Goldman Sachs projects a sharp rise in energy demand, driven by the growing needs of AI applications. According to InvestorPlace, nuclear energy offers a competitive advantage with costs at $71 per megawatt-hour, compared to $93 for coal and over $100 for natural gas.

This combination of rising energy demand driven by AI advancements, along with nuclear energy’s cost-efficiency and reliability strengthens the investment case for uranium explorers, like Aero Energy Limited (Ticker: AERO.v or AAUGF for US investors), which have the potential to become future producers.
Aero's exploration efforts are centered on two promising projects:
-
Murmac Project: Spanning 25,607 acres, Murmac holds historical uranium showings and significant discovery potential, as past production in the area exceeded 70 million pounds of uranium oxide (UO) between 1950 and 1982.
-
Sun Dog Project: Covering 48,443 acres, this project includes the former Gunnar Uranium Mine, a key contributor to global uranium production during the mid-20th century
Recent drilling at these projects has been promising, with 16 drill holes across 12 target areas.
A significant result from the drilling was 8.4 meters of uranium mineralization at 0.3% UO, with one assay reaching 13.8% UO just 64 meters below the surface.
Overall, 12 holes showed anomalous radioactivity, supporting Aero’s exploration model, which targets basement-hosted uranium deposits similar to significant uranium deposits in the Athabasca Basin.
Aero aims to unlock more of the high-grade uranium potential at the Murmac and Sun Dog properties through an upcoming winter drilling program.
