The Sprott Junior Uranium Miners ETF (URNJ) targets small and mid-cap companies focused on the uranium lifecycle, including exploration, development, and production. The fund maintains a concentrated portfolio of 30 to 40 constituents, requiring that each holding derives a minimum of 50% of its revenue or assets from uranium-related activities or royalties.
Junior miners typically operate in the pre-production phase, focusing on discovering new deposits or advancing existing assets toward extraction. This sector is characterized by high capital intensity and significant sensitivity to long-term spot price fluctuations of U3O8.
