  • Uranium Price Declines Stop for A Week
    So when Cameco Corp announces bad news, this generally becomes good news for the spot uranium price.
  • Nano Particle Tech Uses for Molybdenum
    What many thought was fiction Reser preached, more than two years ago, are ideas now at the forefront of mainstream discussions among highly respected analysts.
  • Exploiting Uranium Price Market Inefficiencies
    Because of rapid developments in the uranium sector, over the past three years, the market place continues attempting to digest all the news and adjust accordingly.
  • China’s Battle for African Uranium
    Fortunately, we had the opportunity to chat with Forsys chief executive Duane Parnham late last week. His company had announced the completion of the pre-feasibility study on the company’s Valencia uranium deposit in Namibia.
  • Niger’s Tuareg Rebels Could Impact World’s Fourth Largest Uranium Producer
    Ag Alambo appears to be emerging as a folk hero among the nomadic tribes, who control northern Niger and where the uranium mines are located.
  • Exelon VP Thanks Speculators for Uranium Price Rise
    “From the point of view of today’s price, they (speculators) did us a favor by sending a really strong signal to the production-side community that it was time to get out there and start looking to get stuff back into production,” Exelon Corp nuclear fuels vice president James Malone told us.
  • Beijing to Increase More Natural and CBM gas for 2008 Olympics
    This calls for a different recipe – using more natural gas in the ramp up time before the 2008 Olympics, which will be held about 13 months from now.
  • Uranium Strategy Quadruples Buying Power
    “It splits up the audience: some prefer the ‘blue sky’ of exploration, and others don’t,” Randhawa concluded. “And now we have something for both audiences.”
  • Molybdenum Expert Predicts Shortages Ahead
    Would a sustained rally in the moly price result in the same backlash nickel recently suffered? Unfortunately for steelmakers, molybdenum has a broader range of applications than nickel.
  • China’s Coalbed Methane Attracting Carbon Traders
    As a result, we believe China’s coalbed methane gas should become a very valuable commodity and attract widespread foreign capital to those companies developing CBM in China. We also suspect that foreign-owned CBM companies developing these projects could become beneficiaries of carbon trading credits – potentially adding cash to their revenue streams.
  • Uranium Demand Showing Price Weakness
    While spot U3O8 transactions could remain in the $130 to $150/pound range for a while longer, it appears that increased supply in proportion to market demand could lead to a temporary price hiccup. We cautioned of this possibility in early January of this year.
  • Moly Mining? Check with Locals, Natives First
    Institutions and investors are climbing aboard as greater interest emerges in molybdenum. The silvery white metal adds anti-corrosive properties to everything from pipelines and power plants to desalination plants, automotive parts and air pollution systems. Find out the status of the company’s permits before investing.
  • Both Molybdenum and Uranium Vital for Nuclear Reactors
    Molybdenum plays a more vital role in the global nuclear renaissance than you might suspect. Without the silvery white metal, the world’s energy infrastructure would somewhat suffer. But, nuclear power plants would be set back at least two decades.
  • The Water Factor in Uranium Mining
    Our interview with Glenn Catchpole of Uranerz Energy explains what investors should know about water’s role in ISR uranium mining. Companies with an ISR project may disappoint shareholders because of the water location, or lack of water, in relation to the ore body.
  • U.S. Utilities ‘Stealth’ Nuclear Revival
    While the big talk is about nuclear reactors being built in China, India, Russia and elsewhere, U.S. utilities are enjoying a ‘stealth’ nuclear renaissance of their own. Since the NRC ‘power uprate’ program began, utilities may add the equivalent of up to seven new reactors by 2011.
  • Permitting US Uranium Mines Takes Years
    Permitting a uranium mine requires more than a simple application to mine. And, as we discovered, the process can take between three and six years (sometimes even longer), costing several million dollars and requiring numerous scientific studies on a company’s property. This could add additional pressure to uranium prices.
  • April Uranium Price Forecast: $110/Pound
    TradeTech’s Price Outlook for April is $95 - $110/pound, compared to the March 31st Exchange Value of $95/pound. Earlier this past week, Entergy Corp’s (ETR) director of nuclear fuel told Dow Jones MarketWatch, “There’s a period where the market is going to be very ugly from a buyer’s standpoint.”
  • New Moly Producer To Get Higher Metals Price
    Companies selling material into a strong commodities market are frequently rewarded with stronger investor interest. When Roca’s MAX molybdenum mine opens this year, it will be the first new metals mine to open in Canada’s British Columbia province in ten years.
  • South Wyoming’s Best Uranium Discovery?
    Until the previous uranium cycle ended in the 1980s, Juniper Ridge had reportedly been the site of 12 small open-pit uranium mines. Many in the industry had called it the ‘best uranium discovery in southern Wyoming.’
  • Uranium Gets Political Lift in New Mexico
    From Governor Bill Richardson on down, state legislators and the administration suddenly became aware of the valuable resource their state was sitting on. At today’s value, the uranium resource of approximately 600 million pounds is worth more than $54 billion.
  • New Mine Flood Tightens Uranium Supply
    After Cameco Corp’s Cigar Lake flood at the company’s northern Saskatchewan uranium mining project rattled analysts and utilities who previously expected sufficient uranium would be available to meet the needs of nuclear utilities, along came another mine flooding – this one in Australia.
  • New Technique to Boost US Uranium Mining Production
    Last year’s basic series on In Situ Recovery uranium mining became a major success with many investors, who finally got an inside look at how uranium mining takes place. Part two of this six-part series provides a deeper understanding into the In Situ Recovery (ISR) uranium mining method. This part discusses satellite plants used for uranium processing. They are smaller, mobile and reduce capital and operating costs.
  • ISR Uranium Mining: A New Method Explained
    We discussed the basics of ISR uranium mining with Bill Boberg, chief executive of UR-Energy, whose company plans to mine Wyoming’s Lost Creek and Lost Soldier uranium deposits using the in situ recovery uranium mining method in 2008. We discussed many of the environmental type questions our readers wanted more information about.
  • Uranium: The New Precious Metal
    A record number of uranium bidders competing for a small amount of uranium drove up the price by a record dollar amount to the highest price in history. Uranium has now become a precious metal.
  • Junior Uranium Companies ‘Not for Sale’
    After the mega uranium merger between SXR Uranium One (SXR) and UrAsia (UUU), speculation has run rampant as to which uranium companies will next consolidate. With a soaring uranium price and lofty market caps, anything is possible. Or is it? Some of the more likely targets seem reluctant to sell out too soon.
  • World’s Uranium Companies Heading to U.S. Stock Exchanges
    A soaring uranium price performs magic for many of the companies who have begun developing their uranium assets and moving toward production. Canadian, Australian and South African uranium companies are eyeing listings on U.S. stock exchanges. Some have already begun trading in the U.S.
  • Uranium Bull Market Still Stampeding: Five New Reasons
    We registered strong buying demand for the popular book, “Investing in the Great Uranium Bull Market.” This is a reliable and bullish indicator of future investor demand for uranium mining stocks.
  • Expect Higher Uranium Prices in February
    Buyers have begun to show willingness in paying higher prices for uranium oxide. Sellers remain confident they can get even higher prices. The recent impasse ended when Trade Tech raised the uranium spot price indicator to $75/pound in the consulting firm’s month-end report.
  • Killer Coalbed Methane Gas Powers Chinese Taxis
    The Chinese are now excited about natural gas. Coalbed methane gas (CBM) now supplies more than 80,000 households and 1,000 taxis in China’s Fuxin City. One cubic meter of compressed CBM is the equivalent of 1.13 liters of gasoline, but retails for less than one-half the price of gasoline.
  • High Costs, Waste Issues Stall Nuclear Renaissance
    The environmental lobby is forcing some utilities to pass along the licensing costs for new nuclear power plants to the utility's consumer. Not small change either. According to an S&P analyst, the permitting costs could run as high as $2.5 billion per nuclear plant.
