VANE MINERALS, A Cheaper And Lower Risk Route Into The Uranium Market. (VML)

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE..

THE PRICE OF URANIUM IS GOING BALISTIC...

The uranium spot price hasn't seen a down month since 2001. For years now, uranium producers have met just 60% of total annual demand - the other 40% coming from government stockpiles and decommissioned nuclear warheads. This can go on for only so long.

The tightness of supply comes at a time of atomic resurgence. Three large-scale factors have turned the tide in favour of nuclear energy:
geopolitics, global warming and developing world growth.

Analysts are debating over wether the SP of Uranium increase will be three fold within 2007?.

Looks like to me, the best play on the UK market for Uranium and it hasnt gotten away yet like the other two ZBA Zareba and URA Uranium which have multi bagged. Its also in a position to fund its development with a new gold mine producing. Ive added twice this morning and think this one could be very big. Heres the announcement...........

VANE Announces Diversification Into Uranium Exploration And Development

Vane Minerals ('VANE' or 'the Company') announces that it is diversifying its
current project portfolio by entering into the uranium exploration and
development business.

To date 7 uranium targets have been successfully claimed by the Company and 28
further properties have been identified and are under development. VANE expects
to finalise its property position by the end of the first quarter 2005. The
Company is targeting uranium projects that are either at, or near, resource
stage or targets that exhibit similar surface features to mines with past
production, but that have not yet been evaluated for the presence of uranium.

The 35 properties identified are located within a uranium district with
significant past production as well as significant resources. Due to the
current uranium market conditions, we prefer to not identify the location until
we complete our property position. Previous drilling data available for some of
the 7 properties successfully claimed indicate grade intersects from 0.34 up to
1.78% U3O8.

VANE has incorporated a 100% owned subsidiary to hold its uranium properties and
has also successfully recruited a uranium geologist, Kristopher K. Hefton B.Sc.,
who has considerable experience in this field and is a great addition to the
VANE team. Mr. Hefton has worked with VANE's exploration team in the past during
his time at Freeport McMoran, and he has also worked for Barrick Gold
Corporation, Homestake Mining Company and Energy Fuels Nuclear Inc.

Michael Spriggs, Chairman of VANE, commented, 'We are delighted to announce the
addition of these uranium assets to the VANE portfolio and will update the
market with more substantial details once further properties have been claimed.
The uranium market has been strong for some time now, reflecting a long-term
forecast supply shortage and the growing recognition that nuclear energy offers
a cleaner and more energy efficient fuel source. Through our extensive network,
we have identified some quality projects and look forward to releasing further
details when appropriate.'

Why the xcitment over VML? ...... someone says "tickingh up nicely today", when in fact it has moved just 0.25p on a share with a potential/probable 2p spread!

Dynamite - 21 Apr 2006 10:26 - 1225 of 2220

Cynic...as I bought in yesterday lunchtime @ 12p and this morning it ticked up to 13.5/14.5 ...it was going up nicely...now the spread has widened and sell price dropped back a bit...lots of news likely on VML so yes I am excited.

Good morning Uranium-Fans!! - FYI UraMin has just been admitted for trading on AIM, with an indicative spread of 70p/75p. At a market cap of over 120 million, this looks expensive to me, but could be worth keeping an eye on. PDYOR.

Freeport Agreement Extended to June 2007


VANE Minerals ('VANE' or 'the Company) is pleased to announce a further
extension of its exclusive agreement with Freeport McMoRan Copper and Gold Inc.
('Freeport'). The agreement, originally signed on 1 October 2002, has again been
extended by a further 12 months to 30th June 2007. Under the terms of the
agreement VANE Minerals, through its wholly owned subsidiary AVEN Associates
LLC, has exclusive access to Freeport's global exploration database, excluding
Indonesia, containing more than 7,000 files dating back to1907.

The Freeport files have been preliminarily examined and several potential
prospects are currently under evaluation. The opportunities arise where targets
become viable by application of new metallurgy, advances in geological concepts,
changes in metal prices or other technological advances.

The files are also an important reference tool in evaluating opportunities
brought to VANE as potential targets. The database provides invaluable
additional information on local geology, prospectivity and historical work
undertaken on projects located within relevant geographical regions.

About VANE Minerals:

VANE Minerals was founded by the former international exploration team of
Freeport McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc., one of the world's largest producers of
copper and gold. The team negotiated exclusive access to Freeport McMoRan's
global exploration database, made up of 7,000 plus files generated over nearly
100 years of exploration and, following the review of these files, VANE is
ideally placed to capitalise on project acquisition opportunities. The Company
has assembled a highly qualified and experienced management team with a proven
track record in exploration and development, who have spent their entire careers
searching for and defining large scale mineral deposits.

The Company's principal objective, as set out at the time of its listing in June
2004, is to be a self-funding exploration company. As such, the initial focus
has been to identify high grade gold-silver projects which can be brought into
production as quickly as possible in order to provide revenue towards funding
the development of potentially much larger projects. VANE is well on its way to
achieving this objective as production began at the Diablito mine in Mexico in
November 2005. The Company will use the revenue generated by this first
producing mine to help fund development work across its attractive portfolio of
gold, silver, copper and uranium assets in Mexico, Paraguay and the US.

hampi_man - 10 May 2006 15:08 - 1235 of 2220

Madison, what impact do you think this info will have in VML SP.

Madison - 10 May 2006 17:31 - 1236 of 2220

hampi,

I haven't checked back to the last Commerzbank rns so can't tell you for sure what their holding was before, but I'm pretty sure this is an increase by a major shareholder. That ought to reassure, if you believe they've done their homework.

As for the impact, it seems to me the SP has been governed recently by psychology, media comment and traders rather than any analysis of the company. (At the moment that has worked to keep the SP down but it can always go the other way.) I can't tell whether that will continue to be the case or not, but I do think it's a great company which by and large follows a successful strategy. So I'm still in, obviously disappointed it's been slammed over the last few months, but still optomistic that Diablito revenues will look good and other news will follow.

If (big if) they do strike lucky with uranium then the SP might go up faster than you can get in, but their range of other commodities should be at the same time a comfortable support preventing meltdown.

Don't invest more than you can afford to lose I say.

Cheers, Madison

Vane Minerals In The Press
Minesite : VANE Minerals Could Soon Be Pointing In Another Direction
Minews Story
By Rob Davies
Date: June 09, 2006

VANE Minerals expects to make a statement in a few weeks time that could mark a change of direction for this company. Before that occurs this juncture provides a good opportunity to review its progress in the last six months. VANE was formed by the international exploration team from Freeport McMoRan Copper and Gold, a good pedigree if ever there was one. It started off with the exclusive right of access to the exploration data bank that Freeport had built up since 1907 and it recently extended that agreement to last until June 2007.

It listed on AIM in June 2004 with the ambition of being a self-funding exploration company. That target looks as if it could be achieved in the near future as production at the Diablito Mine in Mexico is generating monthly revenue of US$420,000 a month. This high grade gold and silver mine lies in west central Mexico and its measured resource of 23,300 tonnes grading 12.13 g/t gold and 1,319 g/t silver is certainly a good asset to start with. On top of that there is an indicated resource of a further 11,700 tonnes and an inferred resource of a 65,000 tonnes.

At its current mining rate of 1,500 tonnes per month the company estimates it can sustain production for five years. High silver prices have doubled the revenue the mine generates from the initial estimate of US$200,000 a month. Currently the ore is shipped to a custom mill, but the company is investigating building its own flotation mill to reduce costs and improve productivity.

Drilling at the Guadalcazar site, also in Mexico, is yielding encouraging results and the company has renegotiated the bulk of the option payment of US$300,000 to be paid in October 2006 rather than October 2005.

Another commodity associated with the company is uranium after VANE moved into the south western United Stares to pick up possible breccia pipes deposits in Northern Arizona. It now has 23 with a contained resource of 305,000 pounds of contained U3O8. This region had historic production of 23 million pounds of U3O8 prior to the early nineties.

Paraguay is not a country that is greatly talked about in mining circles even though it is geologically part of the mineral rich Brazilian Precambrian Shield. But in November 2004 VANE acquired exclusive mineral rights to three large blocks in southeastern Paraguay that are considered prospective for gold and copper. A decision will be taken in September on which areas to relinquish and where the company should focus its efforts.

VANE Minerals is currently capitalised at 16million and has 0.7million in the bank. Last year's cash burn of 1.6m should be considerably less this year as revenue from the Diablito mine kicks in. With a variety of projects under its belt it will be interesting to see which way the company decides to move forward.
