Purecore Metals Inc. (CSE: PURE) (FSE: J8Y) (OTCQB: PPUR) has published an industry report titled Uranium and the AI Power Boom, which examines global uranium supply and demand dynamics amid rising electricity consumption from artificial intelligence and data center infrastructure. The report, disseminated on behalf of Purecore Metals Inc., draws on research from the International Energy Agency, the International Atomic Energy Agency, and other industry sources.
According to the report, data center electricity consumption could reach 950 terawatt-hours annually by 2030, while global nuclear generating capacity could exceed 1,000 gigawatts by 2050 under a high-growth scenario. These projections suggest a significant increase in demand for uranium, the fuel used in nuclear reactors. The report also highlights industry projections of cumulative uranium supply deficits ranging from approximately 700 million to 1.7 billion pounds of U3O8 through 2040, along with uranium pricing trends and nuclear utility contracting requirements.
For readers focused on raw materials mining, these findings underscore the potential for a sustained supply gap in the uranium market, which could support higher prices and increased exploration activity. The report outlines Purecore (CSE: PURE) (FSE: J8Y) (OTCQB: PPUR)'s uranium and critical minerals exploration strategy, including its Yurchison Uranium Property in northern Saskatchewan and Bankier Property in British Columbia. The Yurchison property comprises 22 mineral claims covering approximately 35,029 hectares, with Purecore holding an option to earn up to a 100% interest under an agreement with Skyharbour Resources Ltd. The company is conducting historical data compilation and technical reviews to identify future exploration targets.
President and CEO Peter Berdusco said the report is intended to help investors understand the relationship between nuclear energy expansion, uranium supply, and long-term electricity demand as Purecore continues building its critical minerals portfolio.

For the mining industry, the report adds to the growing narrative that AI and data center growth could reshape electricity demand and, by extension, nuclear power and uranium requirements. If the projected supply deficits materialize, uranium explorers and producers could see increased investor interest and contracting opportunities. However, the report's projections are based on scenario analysis and are subject to uncertainties in technology adoption, policy decisions, and global energy markets. Purecore's exploration properties are at an early stage, and the company's ability to advance them will depend on exploration results and financing.
