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

goldfinger - 08 Mar 2005 09:20

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.'

well it is climbing nicly and quite a few market maker buys this week which I find interesting, sell off was overdone! but is that not always the case, still it does allow you to buy at a much cheaper price.

VANE Minerals Plc (AIM: VML)
Uranium Exploration Update



VANE Minerals Plc ('VANE' or the 'Company') announces an update on its on-going
northern Arizona breccia pipe exploration activities conducted by VANE Minerals
(US) LLC, its wholly-owned uranium subsidiary.



HIGHLIGHTS



- Mineralized pipe discovered at Miller Southwest with 200ft of
continuous mineralization

- All pipes contain uranium mineralization

- All targets drilled warrant additional drilling

- Additional pipe targets acquired taking total targets to 38



Drill holes have been completed on three of the four known pipes that VANE holds
- Miller, Big Red, and Red Dike. In addition, a hole has been completed on the
newly identified Miller Southwest target and has confirmed that the target is a
mineralized breccia pipe.



Matthew Idiens, Director of Corporate Development commented 'These initial
results are encouraging and show the targets all warrant additional drilling;
new down-hole geophysics techniques on these drilled holes should assist in
positioning the next drill holes. Having tested 5 targets and with 4 of them
showing such encouraging results we believe the total pipe package, which now
stands at 38 targets, offers substantial potential'.



Miller Southwest

The first hole completed on the project, hole 691-3 was completed to 1520 feet
and discovered a new breccia pipe. The hole encountered 200 feet of continuous
mineralization from 1230-1430 feet in the targeted ore horizon of the Hermit and
Supai Formations. Within this interval an intercept averaging 0.10% eU3O8 over
16.5 feet was intersected that contained a high of 0.33% eU3O8.



Red Dike

Two holes have been completed, 698-1 and 698-2, both of which are mineralized,
even though both holes did not appear to be in the pipe through the entire
Hermit-Supai horizon. The gamma log in hole 698-1 reveals above background gamma
levels from 495 to 595 feet and 965 to 1095 feet (which is above the favorable
horizon), and also shows anomalous radioactivity in the bottom 300 feet of the
hole which appeared to be outside the pipe. In addition, the log showed 5 feet
of uranium mineralization at the Coconino-Hermit contact with grade up to 0.05%
eU3O8. In hole 698-2, one narrow zone of weak mineralization was encountered
between 1325 and 1335 feet. The maximum grade encountered was 0.02% eU3O8.



Miller Pipe

On the Miller Pipe, a second hole was completed on the inferred northwest part
of the pipe. This hole, 691-2, was completed to the depth of 1605 feet and
intersected the pipe through the favorable horizon and encountered anomalous
uranium mineralization for 1113 feet from 402 to 1515 feet including the
favorable Hermit-Supai section.



The results from Big Red Pipe were detailed in the press release of 3 May 2007.



Rabbit target

A programme of 11 shallow holes was completed on the Rabbit target. All targets
drilled to date warrant additional exploration. VANE is investigating the use
of down-hole geophysics in the completed holes in order to assist in the
planning of further drill holes where the position of the pipe at depth has been
difficult to locate.


blanche - 20 Sep 2007 09:00 - 2062 of 2220

From UK-Analyst.com: Wednesday 19th September 2007

Vane Minerals (VML) pleased the market with an upbeat drilling update. The company said that all the pipes drilled in Arizona had contained uranium mineralization, adding that it had completed drill holes on three of the four known pipes it holds. Meanwhile, the group said that a hole had also been completed on the newly identified Miller Southwest target. The shares firmed 2p to 19.25p.

Hi fliper long time no hear

fliper - 28 Sep 2007 08:54 - 2068 of 2220

Same with goal ! Had a good ride with UMN , hope this is next .

driver - 28 Sep 2007 15:14 - 2069 of 2220

Nice results very encouraging outlook.

Outlook
Your Company continues to examine a range of prospective targets in a wide range
of geological environments. It has the depth of technical and regional expertise
to be able to evaluate these opportunities rapidly and at low cost.

The commencement of operations at the San Dieguito Mill will reduce production
and transport costs and smooth out cash flow as we will no longer have to await
Mill availability in order to process our ore.

The current focus on uranium properties in areas of established production in
Arizona and Utah, at a time of sustained elevated uranium prices, will remain a
major exploration thrust, and we are confident that we will be able to announce
further encouraging results as this programme continues.

driver - 28 Sep 2007 15:27 - 2070 of 2220

Talk of a joint listing after this mornings announcement looks very possible would do wonders for the sp.

VANE Appoints Westwind Partners as Joint Broker

VANE Minerals Plc ('VANE' or 'The Company') has appointed Westwind Partners (UK)
Limited ('Westwind') as joint broker with Ambrian Partners with immediate
effect.



The appointment comes following a strategic review of the business, in which the
board considered options that would best accelerate value creation and maximise
shareholder benefit from its uranium portfolio. As well as focusing on the UK
market, Westwind, with its strong presence in Canada, will broaden VANE's
exposure in North American markets and with North American institutions. This
is particularly important given the geographic locations of VANE's assets, which
are, at present, located in the US in Northern Arizona, Utah and also Mexico and
Paraguay.

Vane Minerals says to spend about 2.85 mln usd testing in Northern Arizona
AFX


LONDON (Thomson Financial) - Vane Minerals PLC said it is to spend about 2.85 mln usd on a drilling and gamma logging programme for its Northern Arizona Uranium Breccia Pipe Exploration Project, and expects to complete this in a 12-18 month time frame.

The mineral exploration company said a technical report on its Northern Arizona project had suggested that Vane's uranium breccia pipes offer 'excellent' exploration targets worthy of continued drilling.

Several of the breccia pipes claimed by Vane were drilled in the early 1980s, with 'promising' results. Of the 38 breccia pipe properties held by Vane, five are confirmed pipes, the company added.

Breccia pipe is an irregular cylindrical mass of breccia, a coarse grained rock, that is commonly found in mining districts and many contain rich ore deposits.
