[ RadSafe ] Price of uranium

[Jim Otton]

Radsafers,
Uranium is indeed selling at above $21/pound.  The "spot" price at the close
of Feb 2005 is $21.75 and the long term contract price is $26/pound.
Operating uranium mines in the U.S. have gone from 2 mines 12 months ago to
7 today with many more in start up mode.
Our small uranium group here has gotten about 20 uranium inquiries ove the
past 3 months.
