Vancouver-based energy rounds in the 36-row window show a sharp size divide: the largest disclosed round is NexGen Energy’s $250M on 2024-05-08, which dwarfs the rest of the disclosed amounts (the next-largest disclosed amounts include Ivanhoe Electric at $69M on 2025-02-11 and Lion One Metals at $9M on 2022-09-20). The list is also concentrated in a tight geography: every row is listed with a Vancouver address, though “Vancouver, Alberta” appears for multiple companies (e.g., StrategX Elements on 2025-08-07, Defense Metals on 2025-03-03, and enCore Energy on 2024-02-26). Temporally, entries cluster in 2024–2025, spanning 2022-09-20 (Lion One Metals) through the most recent round on 2025-09-21 (Verdera Energy). Stage labels are heavily non-specific: 32 of 36 rows show “Series Unknown,” with only a few explicitly labeled rounds (e.g., Seed: Verdera Energy $550K on 2025-09-21; Grant: Student Energy $5M on 2022-09-21; Post-IPO Equity: Lion One Metals $9M on 2022-09-20).

Frequently asked
Which round is the biggest disclosed outlier, and how far ahead is it of other disclosed amounts?
NexGen Energy’s $250M disclosed round on 2024-05-08 is the clear outlier, with the next-largest disclosed amounts substantially smaller (Ivanhoe Electric at $69M on 2025-02-11 and The Metals Company at $27M on 2025-05-12). Most other disclosed rounds sit well below those levels, including Verdera Energy’s $550K (2025-09-21) and Zefiro Methane Corp’s $3M (2025-05-27).
Do the most recent rounds cluster into a narrow date window?
Yes. The latest 90 days covered by these rows run from 2025-07-15 (CanCambria $2M) through 2025-09-21 (Verdera Energy $550K), and this window contains multiple rounds including Gladiator Metals ($16M on 2025-08-18) and EverGen Infrastructure ($4M on 2025-08-07). Earlier activity is present in 2024 (e.g., Africa Energy $14M on 2024-12-23; CO280 $24M on 2024-07-09), but the densest recency is in 2025.
Are Vancouver addresses over-represented, and do multiple rows share the same city string?
All 36 rows list a Vancouver location, with most using “Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada” (e.g., Ivanhoe Electric $69M on 2025-02-11; NexGen Energy $250M on 2024-05-08). A second recurring city string appears as “Vancouver, Alberta” for several companies, including Defense Metals ($590K on 2025-03-03), StrategX Elements ($220K on 2025-08-07), and enCore Energy ($10M on 2024-02-26).
What stage labeling pattern dominates this list—Series Unknown or explicit stages?
Series Unknown dominates: 32 of 36 rows carry “Series Unknown,” such as Gladiator Metals ($16M on 2025-08-18) and Corinex ($30M on 2025-04-08). Explicit labels are limited to a few entries: Seed appears for Verdera Energy ($550K on 2025-09-21) and White Rhino Energy ($620K on 2024-05-12) and NeoGreen Hydrogen ($230K on 2022-10-04), while Student Energy is labeled Grant ($5M on 2022-09-21) and Lion One Metals is Post-IPO Equity ($9M on 2022-09-20).
Which amounts sit at the extremes (smallest vs largest disclosed), and do the smallest rounds change the overall pattern?
The smallest disclosed amount is VoltSafe Inc.’s $10K on 2023-05-02, which sits at the low end alongside other small figures like OPEN Technologies ($40K on 2023-11-20) and Carbon Wise ($30K on 2023-11-20). The largest disclosed amount is NexGen Energy’s $250M on 2024-05-08, and together these extremes indicate a wide spread rather than a tight band of round sizes.
