[Boing, Lawrence E.]

Jim and any others - What is driving the uranium cost to soar like this?

Radsafers,

To avoid confusion, the price of uranium in the previous email is for
uranium oxide (U3O8)as produced from a uranium mill.

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.

That's hard to believe!
