Methodology & Data Sources
Yellowcake Analytics is an independent uranium- and nuclear-market data site. Our goal is to make institutional-grade uranium data legible to everyone — and to be transparent about where every figure comes from and how reliable it is. This page documents our sources and the provenance system applied across the site.
Where our data comes from
Uranium spot price (headline)
uranium.io on-chain oracle (RedStone price feed), with a Sprott NAV-implied cross-check and the FRED PURANUSDM monthly series as a reference benchmark.
Spot price history & long-term (term) price
Cameco's published month-end uranium price series, attributed to its originators UxC and TradeTech. We display and attribute these figures; we do not redistribute the underlying proprietary indices.
Physical uranium trust (SPUT)
Sprott Asset Management BullionCalculatorData (holdings, NAV, units outstanding).
Equity prices & market caps
Finnhub, Twelve Data, and Yahoo Finance for quotes; EODHD for shares outstanding and exchange listings used to compute market capitalization.
Dividends & analyst price targets
EODHD fundamentals — forward dividend yield and the consensus analyst target price shown on individual stock pages. Analyst targets are aggregated third-party estimates, not forecasts by Yellowcake.
Company uranium resources & AISC
Company disclosures prepared under NI 43-101, JORC, or SEC S-K 1300 (technical reports, annual reports).
SEC filings
SEC EDGAR full-text and submissions API.
Reactor fleet, supply & demand
World Nuclear Association and IAEA PRIS, supplemented by company production guidance.
Provenance: how we label every figure
Every number on the site carries a badge describing how it was produced. We would rather show you a transparent estimate than a confident-looking number with no lineage.
Real
Taken directly from a primary source — a price feed, an exchange quote, or a regulatory filing — with no transformation beyond formatting.
Estimated
Derived from real inputs using a disclosed calculation (for example a NAV-implied spot price), where some assumption is involved.
Modeled
Produced by one of our forward models (for example a demand projection). Clearly the most uncertain category and labeled as such.
