The 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference, also known as COP26, is the
26th United Nations Climate Change Conference. It’s scheduled to be held in the city
of Glasgow, Scotland, and will feature dignitaries, heads of state, and financial elites.
It is at this conference, held every year, where climate targets are set, countries are
held to account, and companies are forced to comply.

Backed by enough evidence and math, the results will directly affect the way the
insurance sector does business.
The insurance sector (as a whole) is one of the largest pools of capital (non-govt) in
the world and the largest provider (non-govt) of capital for infrastructure projects
globally.
2017 was a banner year of losses for the insurance companies: $140 Billion in
climate-related infrastructure losses.
Dr. Stokes, testifying in front of Congress in September of 2021, stated that the cost on
the US alone in 2021 would be $500 billion due to climate and weather disasters.

The UK is the single largest market for non-life insurance in the world (7% of global

almost 85% undertaken in the UK by insurers which are themselves part of groups

UK domiciled insurers rank 4th globally in written premiums and manage almost $2
Trillion in assets.
The insurance business is so big that it will depend on open international insurance
markets.
Hence, sector reform and legislated reform will become a key factor in
redirecting/investing/lending trillions of dollars of managed insurance assets towards
reducing the impact on the climate. Meaning to have access, one must abide by the

This was a big talking point in the last chapter, The Forbidden Chapter, in my book,
The Rise of America. Corporations that are not willing to make changes simply won’t
attract new investor capital. Worse, many current investors will be forced to sell out.
Companies who don’t want to play by the new rules will face much higher costs of
capital which in turn will render them obsolete and uncompetitive. Aggressive
shareholder activism will continue for those companies who don’t want to play ball.
Again, the cost of capital goes up for those not willing to make changes. This is the

At COP25 (Dec. 2019 in Chile), the goal was to finalize the Paris Climate Agreement
(COP21), which is the governing piece of the international legislature, and it aligns
global emission reduction with the carbon credit market.
Frustratingly for many, COP25 turned out to be a total bust. Most of the world’s major
emitters didn’t change their stance on climate pledges nor did anything regarding the
Paris Agreement get ratified. The UN secretary called it a “disappointment” and a “lost
opportunity”.
Politicians are notorious for overpromising and underdelivering. So, I am not holding

1. There is no debate about what a carbon credit represents. Everyone agrees that
each carbon credit represents 1 metric tonne of carbon dioxide that has either
been avoided or removed from the atmosphere.
2. In addition, a credit can be “banked” meaning it can be saved and applied to the
owner’s emissions in the future. Finally, a carbon credit can only be used once,
and once used, it must be retired.

Within the framework for global emission reduction in the Paris Climate agreement is

emissions, right?
pr is c
d
Th
But the offset is located in Brazil. So should Brazil get to reduce its emissions as well?
What about the United States which has now seen its emissions drop due to the
purchase of the offsets from Brazil?
Apply this scenario to hundreds of millions of credits across 190+ nations with
different tax regimes and carbon reduction plans and you can see how this starts to get
complicated very fast…
There are 2 schools of thought on how to approach this dilemma, and essentially what
Article 6 needs to finalize.
1. Both the private entity who bought the credits and the host country
where the carbon offset is located can both claim emissions reduction.
Verra, the world’s largest issuer of carbon credits by a wide margin, supports this
view.
https://subscribers.katusaresearch.com/reports/world-war-zero/ 11/50
6/10/21 15:19 World War Zero |
2. Only a single entity can claim emissions reduction, making them a one-
time use. This means that only the host country or the buyer could offset
emissions. Gold Standard, the world’s second-largest issuer of carbon credits
(though well behind Verra) supports this view. Gold Standard’s model relies on
“donations” to fulfill corporate pledges and offset programs.

Corporations from outside the host country would “donate” to the offset generator but
would not reap the emissions offset benefit. It’s hard to see how that framework works
in a global finance setting like we live in today. Forget the fact that government works
much slower than the private sector and leaving it up to the governments would likely
mean we’d fall even further behind our emission reduction goals.
If the Carbon market goes to Option 1, which suggests that both the buyer of the credit
and the producer of the credit can both count the emission reduction, I don’t see a
major change in how the market will unfold and we are positioned well. All of Carbon
Streaming Corps assets are, or will be, verified by Verra.
If there is a black swan event and Option 2 is selected it makes things more
challenging. Credits issued under Verra would likely have to be sold in the country
https://subscribers.katusaresearch.com/reports/world-war-zero/ 12/50
6/10/21 15:19 World War Zero |
where the credits are certified which would result in lower prices for carbon credits
and more importantly, lower demand for carbon-reducing projects.
A 3rd option is that a revised international carbon market governed by the UN or IMF
is put into place.
Under this framework, it would allow the transfer of currently verified credits from a
recognized organization such as Verra or Gold Standard, and these credits could be
onboarded onto a UN or IMF international trading framework. A global minimum
price floor in the $50-$150 per tonne range could then be set by the governing body.
This would allow the politicians to feel like they have control while still allowing the

The demand for credits from corporations simply outweighs the immediate supply
provided by offset generators. And because the spot market is relatively illiquid it

Forest fires are a big risk and were very high risk during our hike, and the warning was
set at RED+ on the sign at the bottom of the hill.
Guess what?
REDD+ (an extra D) is actually nature based (tree) credits for forests. I was telling my
wife what a horrible name that was for the carbon credits which are essentially used by
the forest service fire workers to make fire risks also. When I think of REDD+ I think
of forest fires—not an image I want for carbon credits associated with forests. Green

Pre-Covid that would have been a decent price for some of the permitted low-cost
producers to lock in long-term contract prices with the utilities.
But we are in a new world and to that end, I discussed ‘Crossflation’ in The Rise of
America…
Essentially, we will see inflation in certain sectors while we see deflation in others.
Mining will be an area we will see inflationary pressures, and I don’t see it being
“transitory” for a short while. We will see software continue to put deflationary
pressure on certain sectors, but labor and equipment is a serious bottleneck that will
continue to increase inflationary pressures in mining. Uranium included.

My sources have shared with me that Cameco has recently signed a long-term offtake

speculation, but this came from a seasoned trader of uranium that has been spot on in

First, let’s look at where the actual demand for uranium is coming from.
e yr

so and
I mentioned in the September KRO and in the recent alert that the Sprott Physical
he al
Uranium Trust (SPUT) has become the best bid in the uranium spot market.
le
r t ti
fo den
te fi
The SPUT provides passive exposure to uranium. It provides a way for generalist fund
managers and investors to gain exposure to uranium price movements without having
to buy a miner and take on extra risk.
Through a technique called an “At The Market” (ATM) facility, the company conducts
unit issuances on demand. Meaning if a family office or large buyer wants to buy 1
million units of the SPUT, these units can be created and sold to the investor at net
asset value. There is no dilution to current owners of the trust. The family office gets
$1 million worth of SPUT units, and the cash goes to buy more uranium.
https://subscribers.katusaresearch.com/reports/world-war-zero/ 20/50
6/10/21 15:19 World War Zero |
The ATM facility can be up to 1x the NAV of the trust. With the current NAV of the
trust around CAD$1 billion, it means that the trust can issue up to CAD$1 billion in
new trust units. Since the ATM program began in late August, the trust has taken in
over CAD$500 million and purchased over 10 million pounds of uranium from the
spot market during that time.
Below is a chart which is tracking the daily activities of the trust. It shows cumulative
dollars raised to date through the ATM (CAD$548 million), uranium in trust
inventory (29.2 million pounds), and total uranium purchased since the trust became
active on August 20th, 2021 (10 million pounds).

In 2018, the KRO started making noise by backing the first royalty and streaming
uranium company in the world. We followed up by publishing a “faux short report” for
Uranium showing that we would do the homework for the shorts. And if there was a
way to still make money in that scenario—what that company would be. It’s ironic how
many people didn’t actually read the report and only cut out and send along the “short
report part”. I got a lot of hate because it was seen as “Marin is anti-uranium”.

The Spot Market: This market is for “immediate” uranium delivery. These

The Long-term market: This is the market where utility companies like Duke
Energy sign multi-year contracts for stable uranium supply with uranium
producers like Cameco or KazAtomprom. Contracts on average last between 2-5
years.

I have had discussions with Grant Isaac, the CFO (and future CEO in my opinion) of
Th
Cameco, and my sense of the Cameco strategy is simple: The Cameco management
think they are smarter than the Kazakhs and the “uranium investment community”
and will align themselves as the “stable” provider of uranium for the nuclear utilities
in the US.
This strategy may work. But Cameco will come under significant pressure if the spot
price continues to trade at a significant premium. And KazAtomprom starts signing
much higher prices for Long Term contracts and the Spot market in early 2022. This is
a space to watch.

We have the benefit of having royalties on both Cigar Lake and McArthur River,
two of Cameco’s best mines without any operational risk in Uranium Royalty
Corp (UROY.NASDAQ, URC-TSXV).
With the spot price now hovering around the $40/lb range, the negotiation for long-
term contracting just got a lot more interesting. The Kazakhs are the ones to watch as
they make up 40% of the supply or primary uranium production globally.
I expect the Sprott Uranium Trust will keep a solid bid in the spot market until the
new year. Then it will come down to what the Kazakhs want to do:

Th
this would be the ideal framework for the Kazakhs to ask for a high price for a long-
term supply of uranium.
I know this isn’t what the Uranium universe wants to hear, but it is what it is.
Utility companies are well stocked for uranium for the rest of this year, 2022, and into
most of 2023. Global nuclear reactor demand including inventory replenishment for
the next few years is approximately 185-190 million pounds of uranium.

As you can see for 2021 and 2022 there is very little uranium that needs to be fulfilled
pr is c
d
by a new contract. This means utilities do not need to buy large quantities of uranium
Th
in the spot market. Specifically, US utilities require 3.4 million pounds to meet all
their requirements in 2022 while 18.1 million pounds are needed globally to meet
2023 requirements. This coupled with the fact that utilities on average have between 2
and 3 years of supply on hand, means they are not in a major rush to sign new long-
term contracts at 35% higher prices than a month ago.
The recommendation to the boards of the utilities is “we are in no rush” and this is
just speculation. They will believe or “want to believe” that speculation is aimed at
making the utilities pay higher prices. Thus, the utilities will see the “spot” market
demand as the enemy in this situation. And they will contact all regulators and do
whatever they can, claiming “risk of electricity supply and safety”.
So don’t be shocked if you see some form of restrictions or regulations against those
deemed “speculators” by the utilities and regulators—including Sprott Uranium Trust.
I believe the utilities and their lobbyists will create the narrative that a bunch of

“Canadian Cowboys” are speculating with domestic US baseload energy security and
the utilities are victims of financial manipulation.
The Sprott Uranium Trust (SPUT) is the best bid in the spot market currently, but for
how long?
This is purely a function of how much capital the trust can attract. I was impressed at
the speed and amount of capital that the trust has been able to tap so far. Could they
attract $1 billion? It’s possible and probably subject to no major market corrections

Th
at the time and currently sits on an unrealized gain of over $25/lb for a total
unrealized gain of over $35M. No other uranium company listed in North America has
such a gain because UROY was the first.
So yes, you’re reading that correctly, UROY has a WAY better deal to buy
uranium than Sprott, because UROY can always buy below the spot price. =)
This is where all KR subscribers who believed in our vision in 2018 and 2019 deserve
applause. Because of you, my dear KRO subscriber, Uranium Royalty Corp happened.
Yes, Amir and Scott were critical, but capital (and the cost of capital) was the single
biggest risk to the UROY business plan in the early days.
When I pitched Amir at my house on NYE in 2016 on the idea and walked him
through all the benefits of a royalty/stream corp for uranium over mining/exploration,
he got on the idea right away. That’s what I love about Amir, besides his incredible
work ethic and dedication to his companies, he has ZERO ego, and is capable of

understanding new financial models quickly and run with them. Not a single fund
would back us financially at that time because uranium was so out of favor. That made
us both even more bullish. Even uber-wealthy individuals, who believed in Amir and I,
thought we would fail because of the lack of capital and it was “too contrarian”.
I told Amir I would be a cornerstone backer—and I have been. I have not sold a single

would need board approval and that won’t happen in today’s world.
Groups like Cameco and KazAtomprom have been and are active in the spot market

mining as the stuff their parent’s lost money in years ago. It’s a cold hard truth that
the crypto space has soaked up a big portion of the capital that the junior explorers on

The flow capital has changed drastically. Being in Canada, I can assure you that less

The uranium market is going to be volatile, and I see a lot of profit-taking over the

Not to take anything away from the Sprott crew, but before Sprott organized
themselves to take over Uranium Participation (which is now SPUT), Uranium
Royalty Corp was already up 50% on its physical purchases and the royalties were all
purchased and locked down at sub $30/lb uranium prices.
But I truly believe because Uranium Royalty Corp is listed on the NASDAQ in the US,
UROY is a liquid stock that opens up enormous new avenues for potential buyers of
stock. I also believe that SPUT will have considerable “behind the scenes” pushback
from the utilities and lobbyists that do not want to see SPUT listed on the big-league
exchange, the NYSE, and or NASDAQ. Meaning it will take more time and money to
do so. Initially, SPUT stated by year-end, I doubt it will be by the end of Q1 2022.

The details matter, such as specific TC/RCs, recovery rates, cap ex, grade,
metallurgy, electricity prices, rock hardness for crushing costs, etc. Mining is a very
difficult business. Literally, every mine I’m involved in I learn of a new problem that I
have never read about before nor has management. Also, beware of the dependence on
consultants—I try to avoid consultants like the plague.
After 12 months of negotiation, I wrote the largest cheque with some other well-
known experienced geologists and mining engineers on a past-producing high-
grade gold mine. This was over a decade ago. Long story short, we believed we
could make a lot of money at $1150 gold. And on paper we were right.
The ore was so high grade, I calculated how I could direct ship to a smelter
alongside another producer. All made sense, except the Fluorine level was too
high for the smelter which was a copper smelter that also refined gold. Fluorine
was not mentioned in one of the historical exploration, development, or
https://subscribers.katusaresearch.com/reports/world-war-zero/ 37/50

production data. My plan was solid, except fluorine ruined my flow sheet. None
of the “old-timers” ever bothered assaying for fluorine and everyone was caught
off guard. It worked out well in the end, only because I was able to sell the mine,
but I can assure, fluorine is also assayed now in all deals I’m associated with!
And it was that experience of actually being involved in many mine start-ups that led
to the creation of Uranium Royalty Corp (UROY.NASDAQ, URC-TSXV), my largest
holding in the uranium sector.
I share all these stories so you don’t make the many, many mistakes I made 10-18

Personally, I believe that the Sprott Uranium Trust will keep chugging along and can
buy uranium in the spot market on days its share price is trading above NAV,
otherwise it would be dilutive to do so. It will continue to drive the spot price higher,
as long as SPUT can attract capital. Prices are around $40 per pound today and there
could be a spike higher to $60, 70, or maybe even $100 down the road.
Is $100 sustainable over the long run? Probably not, but these spikes higher provide
us all with ample liquidity to sell to new speculators who are entering the uranium
sector.

It was actually my idea, thus obviously I like it!
A share consolidation does not impact the value of your holdings. The number of
shares you own will be reduced, but at the same time, the share price will appreciate
so the 2 changes are offset.
Here is an example.
https://subscribers.katusaresearch.com/reports/world-war-zero/ 41/50
6/10/21 15:19 World War Zero |
As you can see, the only changes are share price and total shares outstanding. The
changes offset each other so there is no impact on the market capitalization of the
company or your investment.
Question: Why is Carbon Streaming Corp doing a share consolidation when there is
no impact on company valuation?

I strongly believe that Carbon Streaming Corp can follow a similar successful
blueprint.
I, and you, should want a US listing as quickly as possible. Here are a few key reasons:
It is incredibly difficult for investors to buy shares through the current Canadian
listing on the NEO stock exchange.
To put it in perspective, it took me and my team more than a day to get real-time
quotes and a level 2 working with my trading platform. Carbon Streaming was the
https://subscribers.katusaresearch.com/reports/world-war-zero/ 43/50
6/10/21 15:19 World War Zero |
largest financing ever on the NEO exchange, and the CEO of the exchange was quick
to reply to my emails requesting live stream quotes. This is just not acceptable, and
not something one would experience in the “Big Leagues”.
Professional investors and fund managers in the US will have limited ability if any
ability at all to buy stocks on the NEO exchange. The same can be said for the “junior”
OTC exchange.

Secondly, I do believe Justin and his team will utilize the green bond market in a big

Th
way. I believe they can raise far in excess of the IPO equity raise in the green bond
market. Green Bonds are just what they sound like. Debt instruments which must be
used for sustainability-focused investments. Using green bonds to finance and develop
carbon offset projects fits this mandate to a T. Green bond project debt comes with
very low-interest rates. Using debt to finance new carbon offset projects means no
more equity dilution for us as equity holders, this is a good thing.
I hope you now have a better understanding of why I support the share consolidation
and the potential positive impacts it can have for all of us down the road.
I have not sold a single share of Carbon Streaming Corp and don’t plan on selling any
time soon.
Investors who have been patiently waiting for a dip may get an opportunity when
shares from the IPO financing become unrestricted on November 21st.
