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.'

driver is that a direct or indirect shareholding? If indirect who are Commerzbank acting for...... possible bid coming?

driver/halifax.

Commerzbank have reduced their holding from 14,830,000 (7.8%) to 13,636,364 (7.17%).

AGM on Tues 20 May,could get an operations update,although I'm not holding my breath.

If Commerzbank where the sellers last week some one picked them up thats why the sp went up also VML confirmed this that there was a large seller and a large buyer (investor email).

Yes, I was at the AGM yesterday. I don't have much time to post but basically, they are still drilling the Breccia pipe targets in Arizona and the Lisbon Valley targets in Utah. They have 75 holes planned for North Alice before they can issue the resource statement. We should probably get a drilling update on Arizona in a month or two.

There appears to be some expectations of newsflow regarding the pyrphory copper exploration, and a watch this space some time in the next few months.

As for Diablito, they have six months supply of ore stockpiled to get through and when this is processed they may look to Bonanza for additional ore and also mill ore for competitors. They are drilling Bonanza in the coming weeks and if the ore grades are good enough will plan on going into production. The mill is working well and at full capacity.

As for funds, they remain well funded and don't expect to need any additional money in the next 12 months. They would only go back to the markets for cash if they had an acquisition they wanted to make, which is possible though unlikely, so again it will be a case of watch this space.

The Toronto listing is likely to happen once the resource statement for North Alice has been completed.

Paraguay is going ahead with some drilling expected soon, but this really is a longshot and doesn't figure in any of my valuations.

All in all, management was very happy with progress and the company was in good shape. Now all we need are some good results from No Alice and a hit on a Breccia pipe!

Good to hear. Wouldn't mind getting some upward momentum for a change.

good news @ last

The problem I have with this stock is that it looks like the mine in Mexico is coming to the end of it's lifetime and hence the reason for additional land to explore in the same country which will mean putting a lot of funds into this new venture and it will be a longtime before it becomes operational.

A buy tip on uk analyst ...Unusually for a junior miner Vane Minerals also enjoys a steady stream of cash flow to fund its exploration activities, from a producing mine...The main attraction with Vane is clearly is extensive uranium portfolio, especially with nuclear power being firmly back on the agenda of world governments...Vane Minerals is slightly difficult to value at present but this should be made easier when the planned resource statement for Wate is released. But to give an idea of the company's worth lets take the base case scenario in the 1998 report on Wate. If we value the 1,916,863 lbs at $5 a lb, not a demanding figure given the favourable environment, then we get a figure of GBP6 million. Add in the GBP2.6 million of cash as at 30th June 2009 and that means the market is currently giving no value to Vane's other projects, including the cash generative Mexican mine.

You are right, Toki...VML is grossly undervalued. We will see it climb.
Today's just the beginning.

In the Sunday Times yesterday...

SELL GREEN, BUY NUCLEAR

The government has approved the building of 10 power stations and similar decisions on construction are expected in Germany, Japan, Italy and America, according to Max King at Investec.

Simon Webber of the Schroders Climate Change fund likes firms such as Areva up 2% over 12 months which is involved in the production of nuclear plants, as well as the uranium miner Cameco up 41% over 12 months.

He believes some green stocks are overvalued. The price of solar panels has collapsed because of oversupply, he said.

Acquisition of New Uranium Property, Colorado, USA

Property package acquired from Uranium One Americas Inc:

4900 acres comprising 213 lode claims and one State lease

Located on trend of high-grade uranium hosted in lignite intersected in widely-spaced historic exploration drilling

Hole 101 contains 5.0ft of 0.82% U3O8 at depth of 90 feet

VANE today announces that its wholly-owned subsidiary, VANE Minerals (US) LLC, has purchased the Coyote Basin project, located in Moffat and Rio Blanco Counties in northwest Colorado, USA, from Uranium One Americas, Inc. ("U1"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Uranium One Inc.

Under the terms of the purchase agreement, U1 retains a 2% gross royalty on the federal lode claims and a 1% gross royalty on the State Lease. In addition, U1 may elect to convert the royalties to working interest of from 10%-35% prior to feasibility.

The Agreement, which covers approximately 4900 acres and is subject to terms, comprises 213 federal lode claims and one Colorado State Lease. The area has undergone widely-spaced exploration drilling in the 1970s that discovered high-grade uranium hosted in lignite.

Available historical information includes historical drill intercepts, which show the mineralized zones in the region from which the following are listed:


Hole 101 - 5.0ft of 0.82% U3O8 at depth of 90 feet

Hole 113 - 14.5ft of 0.18 U3O8 at depth of 40 feet

Hole 150 - 10.0ft of 0.10% U3O8 at depth of 50 feet

Hole 104 - 10.0ft of 0.43% U3O8 at depth of 30 feet (off property 800ft from boundary)

Holes 101 and 104, the two highest grade holes, are located 1 mile apart. Hole 150 is located 1200 feet north of 101 and Hole 113 is located 1200 feet southeast of Hole 104. The potential of the area of the high-grade intercepts is estimated at 50mm pounds of contained U3O8. VANE plans to conduct confirmation drilling of the mineralized holes and obtain core for metallurgical testing to determine the recoverability of the uranium. Uranium has been recovered from coal historically. Assuming favorable metallurgical test results, VANE plans to follow up with delineation drilling to determine the size of the mineralization.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kristopher K. Hefton, Chief Operating Officer VANE Minerals (US) LLC, BSc Geology, who meets the criteria of a qualified person under the AIM Rules - Guidance for Mining, Oil and Gas Companies, has reviewed and approved the technical information contained within this announcement.

Steve Van Nort, VANE's CEO commented: "This new uranium property acquisition further strengthens our relationship with U1 and also our uranium portfolio in the US. VANE management believes this project has the potential to contain in excess of the 50mm pounds of uranium oxide estimated in the high grade drilled area. We look forward to commencing our drilling program to confirm the historic data, obtain core for metallurgical testing and to establish the extent and distribution of the mineralization in the area.

VANE has had significant success with its existing joint venture with U1 at the Wate breccia pipe in Northern Arizona during 2009. We expect to announce an NI 43-101 resource statement on the pipe within the next few weeks. While we initially expected to announce this news during December of last year, we needed to undertake additional drill hole survey work. We look forward to announcing this and other news in the coming months."

Here we go again : what have they bought now ?....more dud property packages....how many times before have they done this ?....there seems to be nothing to get your teeth into with this company , always the same story.....loads of drilling etc...but nothing of any value...when are they going to make money on all these properties and turn them into cash ?...a decade away or more and on top of this the Diabilito mine is starting to run dry, hence the panicstations to start another one in Mexico....I might buy into this at some stage but there are plenty of bear points.

Topped up early this morn. Long term looking very good.aimvho

Better news.....perhaps a sp rise now.

I have to say that if the figures are correct, that the value of the metal in the ground is a staggering $90 billion !??....if this is right....the sp must double short term...

Just remember AMC and the silly numbers they touted, the hype took them
up sharply but they quickly came back down.

Dont matter how much is in the ground, how much does it cost to get it out,
i had shares in a company with the biggest zinc deposits in the world, it meant
little and the shareprice went nowhere for 20 years.
