The DevEx Resources Ltd (ASX: DEV) share price is extending its month-long run on Monday.
At the time of writing, shares in the mining exploration company are trading 15% higher to 36 cents per share. The continued momentum in the company's share price puts its monthly gain at 40%.
Despite the impressive move, there are no fresh announcements from DevEx today.
On that note, let's take a look at what DevEx has been up to.

Busy collecting results
DevEx is an exploration company with multiple tenements covering a range of resources. Interestingly, the company is chaired by Chalice Mining Ltd (ASX: CHN) and Liontown Resources Ltd (ASX: LTR) chairman Tim Goyder.
DevEx's exploration activities span several discovery hot spots including the Julimar Complex in Western Australia, Lachlan Fold Belt in New South Wales, and Alligator Rivers Uranium Province in the Northern Territory. However, investors have likely been snacking on two predominant themes concerning the DevEx share price recently.
Firstly, on 17 August 2021, DevEx shared its results from an air-core drilling program at its Sovereign Project. The company highlighted a 12km long mafic-ultramafic intrusion defined by its exploration results. This finding has buoyed hopes for nickel-copper-platinum exploration in the region.
DevEx share price catches uranium surge
Secondly, the strong gust behind uranium shares has likely flowed into DevEx Resource's sails. The small-cap explorer is not alone in this. Other ASX-listed uranium players such Peninsula Energy Ltd (ASX: PEN) and Paladin Energy Ltd (ASX: PDN) are flying 20% and 15% higher respectively.
While not quite of the same calibre in terms of market capitalisation, DevEx holds exposure to uranium with the Nabarlek Project in the Northern Territory.
The company holds a tenement covering 4,700 square kilometres in the Alligator Rivers Uranium Province. The tenement covers the historical Nabarlek uranium mine which produced 24 million pounds of ore at 1.84% U3O8.
Due to the improving uranium market, DevEx is conducting a project-wide review of the Nabarlek Project. This statement bodes well for the DevEx share price, considering the boom in interest from uranium investors.
