Marc Henderson

Marc Henderson is President, CEO, and a director of Laramide Resources (TSX/ASX: LAM), a development-stage uranium company — it has defined resources but no operating mine yet — that he has led since 1995. His relevance to resource investors is concrete: Laramide controls two of the larger advanced uranium projects outside the major producers, Churchrock in New Mexico and Westmoreland in Queensland, Australia, and Henderson has spent roughly three decades building, financing, and selling public mineral companies.

A chartered financial analyst with an economics degree from the University of Colorado, Henderson has steered Laramide through multiple uranium price cycles. Churchrock ranks among the most advanced uranium development projects in the United States and is designed for in-situ recovery (ISR — dissolving uranium underground and pumping it to surface, rather than mining rock). Westmoreland holds a resource of roughly 65 million pounds of uranium oxide (U3O8 — the traded concentrate form) per company materials. In 2024, Laramide added early-stage uranium exploration rights in Kazakhstan. His broader record includes selling Aquiline Resources, a silver developer, to Pan American Silver in 2009, and an earlier stint as president of MineFinders, a gold and silver company.

Henderson evaluates projects the way a financier would: grade, metallurgy, processing route, and cost structure before narrative. In a 2026 interview he described Westmoreland as "a very simple, low technical risk open pit deposit" with good metallurgy and low acid consumption that "leads to a very good cost structure." He is equally direct about jurisdiction and policy — he flags Queensland's moratorium on uranium mining as a key variable in Westmoreland's timeline — and about demand math, citing the gap between the roughly 50 million pounds of uranium the US consumes each year and its minimal domestic output.

With nuclear power back in the demand conversation on the back of data-center electricity growth and government support for domestic fuel supply, Henderson offers a working view of what stands between uranium resources and production: permitting, state-level politics, and financing. He appears regularly on mining investment channels and at events such as Mines and Money. One caveat worth applying: as a CEO, his commentary promotes his own assets, so it reads best as an operator's case for uranium rather than neutral research.
