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.'

cheers GF.

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!

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.
Di

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.

Vane is making a headway now

Wow I'm happy to have bought VML at 12p last week:

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.

Excelent news. Lets hope we now get a sustained rise.

Cheers GF.

Let's hope we get some INVESTORS! This share has been hammered by small traders having a disproportionate effect. I want to see the twenties again!

Cheers, Madison

Nice to see you again madders.

U2 GF!

im in, need more , come on. also in on gtl amd mio. 3 to rise, dont say i didnt tell you!!

The Company has been informed today, in accordance with S198 of the Companies
Act 1985, that as of the close of business on 5 May 2006, Commerzbank AG has
increased its holding to 14,630,000 ordinary shares of 10p each in the Company,
representing 10.01% of the issued share capital.

Cheers, Madison

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

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.

Growth Company Investor : VANE ponders uranium spinoff

Article Date: 19th June 2006

Latin American-focused VANE Minerals is contemplating floating its US uranium prospects, with a claimed potential resource exceeding seven million lbs.

AIM-quoted VANE, floated two years ago on the back of Mexican gold and silver projects from US group Freeport McMoRan's database, hopes to produce 2,500 oz of gold and 400,000 oz of silver this year from its Diablito mine in Mexico's Nayarit state. The expected 110,000-a-month income from this will be used to fund the Leeds-headquartered company's exploration projects, including Guadalcazar in Mexico, where a low-grade, 'sub marginal' deposit of four million oz has already been identified.

In addition VANE, which lost 928,000 last year, will in September start investigating 22 gold anomalies in Paraguay. This is a comparatively under-researched mineral province which VANE's veteran American mining boss Steven van Nort reckons is part of the 'Brazilian gold shield'.

More potentially exciting are the company's uranium prospects in Arizona and Utah. VANE has successfully claimed 19 targets on northern Arizona's 'Breccia Pipe' district, where four pipes have so far been confirmed with one showing a 1.78 per cent grade of uranium oxide in limited drilling.

Directors suggest each pipe could hold between one and six million lbs of uranium, whose price now stands near a historically high $45 a lb, boosted by the potential revival of nuclear power projects. van Nort and his colleagues, disappointed by a share price which has fallen from 23.75p last year to 10.25p today, say they are thinking of putting the uranium projects into a separate company and floating it off.

This possibility adds spice to the shares' speculative recovery prospects.

Update on Uranium Assets


Acquisition of New Uranium Prospects & Receipt of Drilling Permits


VANE Minerals Plc ('VANE') today announces that its uranium subsidiary VANE
Minerals (US) LLC ('VANE (US))' or 'the Company') has successfully acquired
exploration rights for an additional three breccia pipe prospects, Cholla, NCP-7
and CP-14, all located on Federal lands in northern Arizona. These new
acquisitions bring the total number of breccia pipe prospects in VANE's
portfolio to 22, with the total number of uranium projects in the Colorado
Plateau Uranium District now standing at 25. These 25 projects consist of 131
Federal mining claims and 5 State permits.

The breccia pipe district in northern Arizona is a relatively new district which
produced approximately 23 million pounds of uranium oxide (U3O8) prior to the
decline of uranium prices in the 1980's. Individual economic mineralised breccia
pipes generally contain between 1 million and 6 million lbs U3O8 (based on
historical data reported by Energy Fuels Nuclear, Inc).

VANE plans to undertake a drilling programme to define the value of the breccia
pipes in its suite of uranium properties and prioritise their development. The
Company has now received approval on drilling permit applications for its Miller
and Red Dike breccia pipes, two of the previously reported properties acquired
by VANE that are located on Arizona State lands, and plans to conduct deep drill
testing on these pipes. Drilling permit applications have been submitted on 9
additional pipe targets located on Federal lands in Arizona.

VANE (US) has also received approval to drill at the North Wash Project located
in Utah. As previously reported on the acquisition of the project in November
2005, this project contains an inferred resource of 150,000 pounds of U3O8 based
on data from holes drilled between 1977 and 1979 by Cotter Corporation. Assay
data also from Cotter Corporation indicated high vanadium to uranium ratios and
reported vanadium oxide grades ranging from 1.5% to 15.2%. Drilling is expected
to further define the vanadium oxide grades. This programme is planned to
coincide with drilling at the Happy Jack Project, also located in Utah, where a
review of previous exploration work has identified nine targets. VANE (US)
geologists have conducted an internal conceptual study of these properties which
determined that each property could have the potential to produce up to one
million pounds of uranium oxide.

Moving forward, VANE plans to continue permitting for drilling on all its
uranium properties. The Company continues with its programme of property
acquisitions and is in various stages of negotiation on several projects.

Michael Spriggs, Chairman of VANE commented, 'We are pleased with the further
growth of our uranium portfolio. As a result, we now have a substantial asset
base and are very well placed to capitalise on the increasing interest in the
uranium and nuclear markets. We have built up a strong land position in a key
uranium district, within a stable geopolitical environment, and are now looking
at various options which will enable us to accelerate the development of our
uranium assets.'

Kristopher K. Hefton, Chief Operating Officer VANE Minerals (US) LLC, BSc
Geology, who meets the criteria of a qualified person under the AIM rule
guidance for mining, oil and gas companies, has reviewed and approved the
technical information contained within this announcement.

Vane Minerals says encouarging drilling programme completed at Diablito
AFX


LONDON (AFX) - Vane Minerals PLC said its 100 pct owned Mexican subsidiary, Minerales VANE SA de CV, has recently completed an encouraging drilling programme at its high grade Diablito silver-gold mine, in Nayarit State, Mexico.

The Diablito mine commenced production from the Main or Lower Vein in November 2005 at a daily rate of 50 tonnes per day and is currently generating 420,000 usd of income per month, with a total mining, processing, transportation and smelting cost of 125 usd/t, the company added.

The company expects drilling work to be completed in September and will then review the mine plan with the intention of increasing the daily production

rate.

Vane also said that, in order to facilitate the additional production and generate cost savings, it is in discussion with financiers to provide a convertible debt facility for the construction of its own mill and flotation plant near the project site.

Vane chairman Michael Spriggs said the group is very encouraged by the results of this drill programme and it is confident that the additional resources will more than replenish that which has been mined to date.
