Vane Minerals Share Chat (VML)

movement?...

That's what i was thinking re time frames of drilling, i.e they're buying now knowing how good the results will be based on what they've already found. Fingers crossed anyway. I especially liked the bit about it making us rich and allowing us to retied :)

yes by which time we should be ready for a drilling update for the McGhee peak mineralisation.

Hopefully that will prove to be a huge deposit and we can all retire ;)

Now that he bought some, does that mean VML can't realise price sensitive info for 30 days or am i completely wrong?

It certainly does. Nice to see the BoD have faith

Leaked Emails Reveal Interior Dept. Ignored Lack of Scientific Evidence to Support Ban on Uranium Development

“These documents show the Administration's practice of placing politics before science. The withdrawal order is an affront to all those in Utah who depend on the jobs created by the Uranium industry in San Juan County, especially the Native American communities that account for more than 50% of the workers at the mill. The Blanding Mill is vitally important to our local economy and relies on receiving uranium from northern Arizona mines to stay in operation. Unemployment in this area is extremely high, especially on the Navajo reservation where it has been over 50%. The ban is not only hindering our nation’s ability to produce domestic uranium, but is also having a negative impact on job creation at a time when we need it most,” said San Juan County, Utah Commissioner Phil Lyman. "To see these National Park Service documents re-enforce the contention we have made from the beginning, namely that the science on the ground shows no adverse impact on the Colorado River drainage outside of or through the Park, is heartening. What is not heartening is that the Administration completely ignored their own scientific advisors and used the Grand Canyon as a political foil. The people I represent in Mohave County want the jobs those uranium mines will bring. The fact that career scientists inside the agencies confirm that mining is safe and does not harm the Park or the watershed will make the people of Mohave county and southern Utah furious," said Mohave County, Arizona Supervisor Buster D. Johnson.

Long-term contract uranium prices have increased for the first time since January 2011, according to nuclear consultant UxC. The long-term price climbed 2.5 percent, from $60.00 to $61.50 per pound. A primary reason behind the strengthening long-term price, analysts say, is that the Japanese town of Ohi recently received approval to restart two nuclear reactors.

The news is of interest because it reasserts Japan's dependence on nuclear energy. Japan is heavily dependent on nuclear power, with 50 reactors supplying some 30 percent of the country's electricity needs. All those reactors have been idled since the Fukushima nuclear meltdown last year while they undergo safety checks or repairs.

China's top nuclear power producer, China National Nuclear Power Co., is planning a public listing on the Shanghai Stock Exchange to finance the development of new nuclear power projects. While the expected size of this initial public offering (IPO) is not available, the money raised from the equity listing is to be applied towards funding five nuclear power projects worth $27.3 billion.

As of last month, China had 14 nuclear power reactors in operation, more than 25 under construction, and more about to start construction soon. These numbers represent as much as 35 percent of total proposed and planned reactors in the world.
