IsoEnergy and Consolidated Uranium have agreed to a share-for-share merger to create one of the world's largest globally diversified uranium companies with projects in prolific uranium jurisdictions. On the news, IsoEnergy shares fell by 11% to 4.28 Canadian dollars ($3.17), while shares of Consolidated Uranium rose by 8.9% to C$2.08.
Other market movers:
