In comparison to sector peers like Perpetua Resources, which recently secured a $1.8 billion financing letter of interest from the EXIM Bank, UAMY is attempting to capitalize on the supply gap. However, market analysts note that structural changes and growth for the company remain relatively slow despite the favorable regulatory tailwinds.
