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.

Well I have been watching you guys and have decided to join you with a modest investment - bought in at 23.

Baza

Newbie question here. Topped up with 52500 at about 10:30 at a price of 22.88p but the buy is shown as 50000. The difference is only small but where has the other 2500 gone?

Hi bhunt. Hope 23 turns out well for you. I first started down in the 16/17 range and had some more yesterday at just under 23, but have also bought at 24 and 25. In the short term I feel more confident about this than any of my other small caps, but only time will tell.

in_front - sorry, can't help you there. (Have you checked on your boker's site? Ie. not the contract note, but the buy/sell list.)

Cheers, Madison

With results out at the end of the week, I expect this one to rise consistently till then.

Good to see poeple taken notice of my previous post and should keep rising till results on Friday, and if any good news reviled the institutions will pile in.

Welcome aboard Baza. Ticked up again I see after lunch, NICE.

cheers GF.

Hi GF and crew
Quite the shy and retiring type this Master (mariner) character don`t you think?

Best performer of the day. HELP.

cheers GF. Should have come back yesterday.

GF - What do you reckon to the 500k "sell" very late. Since it's a T trade, is it more likely a delayed BUY come through?

Cheers, Madison

PS But at least you're back for the best bit of the week.

I see what you mean Madison as my 50K T trade did come through as a sell even though I bought this morning. But I suspect that the 500K may have been the cause of the price weakness around 3pm when the trades were only showing buys for quite a long time.

Thanks tallsiii. That's helpful. Glad to see you topped up again.

Fingers crossed guys, if we get results on friday or monday we should also get the up to date news we are seeking.

cheers GF.

Results are definitely of Friday (the email I received was more specific about that than the one above). On the other hand I think we might have to wait a little longer for the other news. Don't know for certain.

All buys this morning, looks like it's going to tick up again.

So get in quick if you're going to top up.

Yes it does look promising.

chers GF.

Only a 1/2p spread now, interesting.

cheers GF.

Yes, all the trades from yesterday must have made the market more liquid.

It seems a little ironic that the results are likely to be out tomorrow and that is the day of the MoneyAM traders day. I am probably going to miss whatever is released.

Im in the same boat tallsiii. Maybe it will be monday?? I will have my PDA at hand just in case.
