  • A Nuclear Power Plant May Be Next for New Mexico
    We continue the series entitled, “New Mexico Joins the Nuclear Renaissance,” and discover New Mexican lawmakers want a nuclear reactor in their state. How popular is this idea?
  • 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.”
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Could ViRexx Medical’s ‘Linked Recognition’ Research Lead to a Cancer Vaccine?
    Dr. Lorne Tyrrell pioneered lamivudine as the standard treatment for hepatitis B virus (HBV). Now a success, he observed the drug’s shortcomings. Now CEO of ViRexx Medical, Tyrrell hopes his latest development, Chimigen, will offer new hope for HBV, other infectious diseases, and cancer.
  • Earth’s Population to Drop by 80 Percent, Says Top U.K. Scientist
    An exclusive interview with James Lovelock about his latest book, our doomed civilization, how today’s environmental movement is wrecking the environment and nuclear energy remains one of our few hopes for the survival of our society and quality of life.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Making Money on the Global Warming Crisis
    Looks like global warming and climate change could kill most of us. Some financiers see a way we can make some money on the crisis. Which is the best leveraged sector to capitalize upon the growing demand for less fossil fuel?
  • Mike Schaeffer’s Favorite CBM Company
    Coalbed Methane newsletter guru Mike Schaeffer announced his favorite coalbed methane stock recommendation in the May 23rd newsletter, Energy and Capital. He called his favorite a “dreamboat company,” and believes it is severely undervalued.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • New Drilling Technology Could Finally Make CBM Very Economic
    Over the past seven years, Mitchell Drilling has pioneered the Dymaxion drilling technology in Australia. Reports indicate they can extract coalbed methane (CBM) gas for as low as $1.10/mcf. Having drilled more than 250 wells across Australia, Mitchell Drilling has begun exporting the company’s Dymaxion® technology worldwide.
  • 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 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.
  • 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.
  • New Uranium Miners Exploit Record Price
    While investors await Cameco’s update on the flooding disaster at the company’s Cigar Lake uranium mine in Canada, the new breed of uranium miners celebrates the record uranium price. They are selling forward future uranium production with floor protection of, or greater than, the record $72/pound.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.’
  • Sprott Analyst Has Zero Doubt on Higher Natural Gas Prices
    We talked with Sprott analyst Eric Nuttall. With bloated natural gas storage levels, Natural and CBM gas stocks have gotten crushed. Is there relief in sight? What are the fundamentals which might drive natural gas prices, and subsequently stock prices, much higher, and is this a good time to invest?
  • 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. Uranium Industry to Produce 20 Million Pounds by 2012
    We talked to Jon Indall, Executive Director of Uranium Producers of America, who told us U.S. uranium production could annually reach 20 million pounds in five to six years. Indall also told us the domestic uranium market is critical to the renaissance in nuclear energy.
  • 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.
