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.'

For anyone interested in Breccia pipes there is a wealth of info out there, but this one contains a good diagram.

Do look at the dates on all this info though. Some is outdated, and the people with the most up to date info are probably Vane Minerals

Baza,

Some on other boards are wondering why this one hasnt risen 112% never mind 12% can only think that its the market today that is rather quite and docile and the Beta on this one is low.

I remember Reefton giving back all it gained.

cheers GF.

Nice one bhunt.

For all the reasons already discussed on this thread Vane is in a different and far superior league to Reefton.

What it needs is a few big buys to get things going. Let's hope they arrive in due course. Must admit I'm surprised by the relative quiet, but maybe it's for the best longterm...steady and sure...

Cheers, Madison

Anyone else get the feeling that this share price is being kept down for some reason. All signs show it should be going somewhere yet nothing is really happening. Am not complainingits up 12% this the morning but just seems like its hit a brick wall.

A bloke on ample says this isnt the really big news. He says theres more to come, we shall have to wait and see.

cheers GF.

Looking at the volume of buy's that have gone through, it should be primed for another click up at any time.

The press should pick up on this one over the next few days and the price ought to respond.

Well tomorrow is when George Bush announces that the US will push for more nuclear power stations in the US so it will be interesting combined with todays news what affect this will have.
