    Hi Postzak

    Sinds Jay Taylor positieve woorden voor "Northwestern" in de mond heeft genomen wordt de koers in de VS bepaald i.p.v. Canada. Vandaag ook weer een dikke 5% erbij.

    Good Luck,

    Pathfinder Riding The Hot Uranium Trend



    By Brian Truscott

    OF DOW JONES NEWSWIRES

    VANCOUVER (Dow Jones)-Three years ago, spot uranium prices were sub-US$10 a pound, but these days the going price is approaching $40.

    Enter Pathfinder Resources Ltd. (PHR.VA) and the exploration companys president, Victor Tanaka - a geologist by trade and a key player when uranium was last hot back in the 1970s and early 1980s.

    Way back than, Tanaka - as exploration manager for Asamera Minerals - helped track down the high-grade uranium deposts in the Athabasca Basin. In the industry, names such as Cigar Lake and McArthur River are well-known, if only because of the fact that deposits there had an average grade in the 20% range of whats technically known as U3O8. Given that the McArthur River mine is so rich in uranium, the value of the deposit is in the range of $14 billion.

    Pathfinders Tanaka hopes to replicate that kind of discovery in an area about 300 kilometres north of the Athabasca Basin called the Thelon Basin. The company is exploring about 1.4 million acres of a land mass which features much of the same composition seen in the southern Athabasca region.

    "The Thelon Basin in the Northwest Territories is more remote, but theres a direct analog to the Athabasca Basin," Tanaka told Dow Jones Newswires.

    He compared the amount of exploration undertaken in the Thelon Basin today to what had been done in the Athabasca region back in the 1970s. He added that a Canadian government-based geological survey points to many of the same features in the Thelon Basin - the only problem, of course, is actually finding the uranium.

    He said drilling probably wont be undertaken until 2007, but airboune surveys will be conducted later this year. The company has the right to earn 80% of any uranium found, a deal inked with Diamonds North Resources Ltd. (DDN.VA).

    Given the hit-and-miss nature of such exploration ventures, investors should understand the high-risk/high-reward nature of Pathfinder. "You can be the best exploration company in the world, but until we find (uranium)," the end-game is still missing, he said.

    In other words, the highest-percentage of added value for Pathfinder will only be realized if and when the company finally discovers viable uranium deposits. Still, volumes in the companys share price bespeak the renewed interest in uranium over the past year or so.

    May Seek Share Placement Soon


    Until a material discovery is made, Pathfinder needs cash flow in order to fund exploration. Tanaka said the company will probably go back to the market in the next few months to raise C$1.5-C$2 million via a private placement.

    Canada is the worlds largest uranium producer, pumping out about 30% of the worlds volume, while Australia is the other big-league producer. Canadian companies such as Cameco Corp. (CCO.TO), which operates the McArthur Mine, and Cogema Resources are the mainstays of the industry.

    The big issue for this sector - and one of the main reasons the price of uranium has climbed so dramatically over the past few years - is that the radioactive but naturally occurring heavy metal has newfound demand. Global inventories have been depleted, in part because of those historically low prices of a few years ago. Tanaka said there are 430 power plants around the world using uranium, which means demand is about 180 million pounds annually. However, mines are only churning out about 105 million pounds annually, so inventories are being quickly drawn down.

    Thats why theres been an influx of capital investment into the sector since 2004. Whats more, "modern technology, such as in situ leach, offers the potential for accerating development timelines," according to a recent Haywood Securities report.

    Tanaka agrees, saying Pathfinder has been able to take advantage of new and less-expensive technologies to broaden the companys reach. Thats one key reason why the company has set up shop in Newfoundland and Guatemala. The latter project - involving concessions covering 169 square kilometers - is being done in conjunction with Gold-Ore Resources Ltd. (GOZ.VA) and Santoy Resources Ltd. (SAN.VA).

    The two areas feature a lower grade of uranium in the soil, but in situ leaching makes it much cheaper to produce, Tanaka said. Moreover, historical surveys - ones carried out by the United Nations - have shown favorable formations which suggest uranium deposits, he said.

    He added that other companies had been exploring the region but wound down operations in the early 1990s because the economics didnt work. Given new technologies and the high price of uranium, the economics are now much more favorable.

    Ultimately, Pathfinder - relatively new to the uranium game - will keep looking at databases of past exploration results to track down whats called uraniferous outcrops and boulders, which are strong indications that the heavy metal can be found in the region.

    Until that time, the exploration company will remain on the lookout for funding options - ones that could include giving up a percentage of the companys property. Tanaka likens the uranium gambit to a traditional oil play, whereby future funding is given up to a partner willing to invest exploration funds into the venture.

    "You divide up the intest, but the upside, if high-grade uranium is discovered, would still be huge," he said.

    Er is eerder over gepost over Northwestern Mineral Ventures. Mogelijk zeer interessant. De sectoren waar het in opereert zijn naar mijn mening de komende jaren zeer aantrekkelijk/succesvol: uranium/goud/zilver:

    Northwestern Mineral Ventures (TSX-V:NWT; OTCBB:NWTMF) is an emerging junior exploration company with an experienced management team. The company is concentrating on the acquisition of properties with potential uranium and/or silver-gold targets. To that end, Northwestern has signed option agreements for two uranium projects: in the prolific Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, Canada, the company can earn up to 75% ownership of the Waterbury Project, which consists of nine highly prospective uranium claims; and in the La Sal uranium district in southeastern Utah, Northwestern can acquire a 100% interest in two uranium-vanadium mines (the "Firefly Project"). The company has an option to earn 100% interest in the silver-gold Picachos Project, located in Mexico. Northwestern has also applied for two uranium concessions in the democratic west African country of Niger, the world's fourth largest uranium producer.

    AUSTRALIA PRESS: PM Howard Backs Nuclear Energy





    MELBOURNE (Dow Jones)--Australian Prime Minister John Howard has reignited the nuclear energy debate by saying he has an open mind on the establishment of a nuclear industry in Australia, The Australian Financial Review reported Friday.

    Howard told the newspaper he accepted the scientific case on the greenhouse-gas effect and had "no hang-ups at all" about taking advantage of nuclear energy as a solution when it was economically viable.

    "I cant for the life of me understand why (Opposition Leader Kim) Beazley has categorically ruled it out," he said.

    Howard said he did not think there was any argument that continuing to use fossil fuels and making them cleaner was more in Australias long-term interest than renewable or nuclear energy.

    "That doesnt mean to say you stop the other two, but you cant ignore market forces," he said.

    "But we also have vast supplies of uranium. The economics of nuclear energy might change and if it does, well, well take advantage of it. But I have no hang-ups at all about nuclear energy," Howard said.

    China announces plans to build 32 nuclear power plants in next 15 years

    BEIJING The government says China will build 32 nuclear plants over the next 15 years.

    The official China Securities Journal says with the new plants, the country's nuclear generating capacity will reach four percent of the nation's total, more than double current capacity.

    The journal, citing the vice director of the state-run China National Nuclear Corporation, says China is considering building more plants in interior hinterland places. Most of China's nine current nuclear power plants are in China's developed coastal areas.

    China's government is investing heavily in nuclear power in an effort to meet its booming economy's surging power demands and limit its reliance on imported oil.

    a story from Physics Today, the world's most influential physics magazine, which informs readers about science and its place in the world through news, feature stories and analysis. The article, "Strong Future for Nuclear Power," highlights the strong climate for nuclear reactor construction globally, which will increase the need for uranium to power those plants.

    The story states that approximately 24 nuclear power plants are "scheduled to be built or refurbished during the next five years in Canada, China, several European Union countries, India, Iran, Pakistan, Russia, and South Africa." Another 15 plants could be constructed in the United States and the United Kingdom, as government preparations are currently underway.

    Honky Tonk Girl.

    PAUL GUINNESSY
    Physics Today
    February 2006

    Some two dozen power plants are scheduled to be built or refurbished during the next five years in Canada, China, several European Union countries, India, Iran, Pakistan, Russia, and South Africa. In the US and the UK, governmental preparations are under way that may lead to 15 new reactor orders by 2007.

    About 16% of the world's electricity supply comes from nuclear power, and energy demand is increasing (see PHYSICS TODAY, April 2002, page 54). Worldwide, nearly 80% of the 441 commercial nuclear reactors currently in operation are more than 15 years old. To maintain nuclear power's position in the overall energy mix, new reactors will have to replace decommissioned ones, says a report from the Paris-based International Energy Agency.

    The new interest in civilian nuclear energy results from some heavy lobbying by groups involved in building reactors, says Edwin Lyman of the Union of Concerned Scientists, and from attempts to reduce carbon-dioxide emissions. EU Energy Commissioner Andris Piebalgs adds that there are also increasing concerns about energy security, particularly in light of the recent disruption of Russian gas supplies in Europe.

    Most of the new reactor designs are third-generation pressurized-water reactors (PWR), although companies in China, France, and South Africa are looking to build a fourth-generation design called a gas-pebble-bed reactor (PBMR). The new reactors are supposed to be inexpensive to build, more powerful, and safer; and they can be operated for up to 60 years, according to nuclear-power trade groups.

    The international view
    Late last year, officials from Bruce Power, one of Canada's largest power companies, announced a Can$4.25 billion (US$3.6 billion) investment to rebuild two reactors that have stood idle for nearly 10 years on the eastern shore of Lake Huron, north of Kincardine, Ontario. Last December, the Ontario Power Authority proposed plans to build 12 new nuclear plants to help phase out Ontario's coal-fired power stations.

    New 1600-MW European PWRs are being built, one in Finland and one in France, with respective power-up dates of 2008 and 2012. On 5 January, France's president, Jacques Chirac, announced plans for an expansion of renewable and nuclear energy sources for France, including a PBMR by 2020. UK Prime Minister Tony Blair is expected to announce this spring six to eight new reactors in the UK.

    Russia is currently constructing several reactors, including an 800-MW fast neutron reactor, but financial difficulties may delay four of them, says the London-based World Nuclear Association. Iran is building two Russian-designed reactors, the first of which should go on line later this year. The first South African PBMR is set to be completed in 2012.

    Nuclear-industry officials have long said that the majority of growth would come in Asia. Japan is building five new power plants by 2010, and China plans to build 30 nuclear reactors, based on domestic designs, by 2020. China also sees nuclear technology as a major export opportunity, say industry analysts, and is building its second of four power plants for Pakistan, which may lead to a larger order. India has nine power plants under construction, including a fast-breeder reactor that generates its own fuel.

    Six countries—Argentina, Brazil, Bulgaria, Chile, the Czech Republic, and Turkey—may build two to five PWRs each, while Germany, Sweden, and Switzerland are now reevaluating plans to phase-out nuclear power.

    US moves
    The US nuclear power industry has been virtually frozen since the Three Mile Island accident in 1979, but in the US Congress 2005 energy bill, tax credits worth $3.1 billion, along with liability protection and compensation for legislative delays, were added for the industry. On 30 December 2005, for the first time in years, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) certified the design of a new reactor—the 1000-MW Westinghouse advanced passive (AP) reactor.

    Six US power-plant operators are preparing combined construction and operating license (COL) requests to the NRC that could restart construction in the next five years. NuStart Energy, a consortium of nine nuclear energy companies, submitted plans for a General Electric simplified boiling water reactor at the Grand Gulf nuclear station near Port Gibson, Mississippi, and an AP-1000 reactor at the Bellefonte nuclear plant near Scottsboro, Alabama.

    Two AP-1000 reactors may be built in the Carolinas by Duke Energy, along with another reactor by Progress Energy. "Preparing this application provides us the option to continue using a diverse fuel mix in the future," says Brew Barron, Duke Energy's chief nuclear officer.

    Constellation Energy of Baltimore, Maryland, is in partnership with AREVA, a large French–German engineering firm, to submit COL requests for a European PWR at the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant site in southern Maryland and the Nine Mile Point nuclear plant in Oswego, New York. Entergy, another NuStart member, announced it was preparing its own COL request for a new reactor at its River Bend Station power plant in St. Francisville, Louisiana. On 6 December, two electric utilities, Scana Corp and Santee Cooper, filed a letter of intent with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to build two new reactors north of Columbia, South Carolina, to meet growing regional power demands.

    According to representatives of the electric utilities involved, the US government and the reactor technology suppliers are paying for most of the $150 million the certification process costs. "The utilities are waiting to see if they can get any more subsidies out of the government," says Lyman, "so it's still premature to say if any of them will go ahead." A satisfactory means for disposal of their radioactive waste products has not yet been announced.

    But the nuclear power industry believes the first new US order is only two years away. Says NuStart Energy president Marilyn Kray, "Our country needs these advanced nuclear plants."

    Ur-Energy Inc. Announces Positive Geophysical Results Thelon Basin Properties, NWT

    Ur-Energy Inc. Announces Positive Geophysical Results
    Thelon Basin Properties, NWT

    DENVER, COLORADO (CCNMatthews – Feb. 28, 2006) - Ur-Energy Inc. (TSX:URE) announced today results from Airborne Magnetic and MEGATEM surveys carried out by Fugro Airborne Surveys (Fugro) over the Screech, Gravel Hill, and Eyeberry properties in the southwestern Thelon Basin, Northwest Territories. The surveys consisted of deep-penetrating, high-resolution EM and magnetic components utilizing Fugro’s MEGATEM II proprietary system. The surveys covered the Screech and Gravel Hill properties and the southern portion of the Eyeberry property. The surveys were flown in July 2005. Interpretation was not available at the time of filing of the Company’s prospectus, dated November 17, 2005.

    URE acquired three claim groups totalling 67,223.14 ha along the southwestern limb of the Thelon Basin in late 2004 to explore for Athabasca-style unconformity uranium deposits. The Thelon Basin is host to COGEMA Resources Inc. Kiggavik uranium deposits which together, contain significant uranium resources (greater than 110 million pounds of U308 in mineralization grading from 0.28% to 0.44% U308 ref: INAC Presentation, Nov.15, 2005). There are also a number of important prospects and radioactive boulder trains in other areas of the basin. Compared to the Athabasca Basin the Thelon is relatively under-explored and has not been subject to recent advances in airborne technology, structural interpretation, and developments in the importance of clay mineralogy.

    The objectives of the airborne surveys included: (i) identification of sub-Thelon Formation basement conductors; (ii) identification of basin sandstone conductive zones indicative of clay alteration and; (iii) magnetic mapping of basement structure and stratigraphic contacts. The data generated from the surveys is very positive with identification of exploration indicators and structural traps for buried uranium mineralization.

    The highest priority exploration target occurs on the Screech Property and is interpreted to be a northeast-southwest trending conductive zone. This zone is continuous with basement EM conductors that were outlined by past exploration on the adjacent Boomerang Lake Property now held by Uravan Minerals Inc. The conductors are indicative of graphitic horizons within a broad northeast striking formation of Paleoproterozoic basement metapelites. This graphitic horizon hosts the Boomerang Lake uranium-gold prospect, located 10 kilometres to the southwest of the Screech Property and continues onto URE’s Screech claims.

    A broad, diffuse and deep-sourced conductive zone occurs over the Screech Lake area in the centre of the property and over a second area to the southeast of Screech Lake. These resistivity lows are interpreted by URE consultants to be reflective of clay mineral alteration deep in the Thelon sandstones but above the unconformity contact. Such alteration is a characteristic feature of unconformity-associated uranium deposits in the Athabasca Basin and a positive indicator of past hydrothermal activity.This interpretation is supported by the presence of highly anomalous surface radon measurements. Further work is on-going using a Denver based geophysical consulting firm to conduct specialized interpretation of the MEGATEM data.

    On the other properties, a strong bedrock conductor occurs in the southwestern part of the Eyeberry claim group. This is in an area covered by Thelon sandstones near the flank of a north-south trending basement horst of Paleoproterozoic Hurwitz Group quartzites. URE consultants interpret a northeast-trending metasedimentary belt underlying the sandstones in this part of the Eyeberry Property. Ground follow-up is highly recommended.

    Four (4) small conductive zones are indicated on the Gravel Hill Property near the southern end of Gravel Hill Lake. The anomalies are located on a lobe of Thelon sandstone overlying older Paleoproterozoic and Archean basement rocks. A structural interpretation of the Fugro results by URE consultants shows that the uranium showings found by Urangeselshaft in 1978-79 occur at the intersections of northeasterly structures with older east-west faulting. Prospecting of radioactive occurrences and radon anomalies will be undertaken in 2006 field season.

    Ground Geophysical Results – Screech Lake Property

    URE also announces results from recently completed ground geophysical surveys covering a part of the Screech Lake Property adjacent to and underlying Screech Lake. Aurora Geosciences Ltd. of Yellowknife, NT conducted the time domain electromagnetic (PROTEM), magnetic, and VLF-EM surveys. Interpretation and results of these surveys were received by Ur-Energy in late 2005.

    The PROTEM survey outlined a thick “blanket” zone displaying the geophysical characteristics of weathered conductive regolith at depths of 500 to 700 metres below surface over the entire surveyed area. A strong magnetic high underlies much of Screech Lake and surrounding area. Geophysical parameters and source modeling suggest the magnetic anomaly represents a granitic intrusive feature. Magnetics also indicate linear northwest and east-west trending zones underlying the Screech Lake area which likely represent cross-faults or fracture systems, a very favourable structural setting for Athabasca-style uranium mineralization.

    An 800 metre long conductor and coincident zone of low resistivity were outlined just northwest of Screech Lake. The zone strikes southwest and coincides with a discontinuity in basement topography. This interpreted late fault appears to have a calculated vertical displacement of 40 to 60 metres which affects both basement rocks and the overlying Thelon sandstones.

    A broad zone of very low resisitivity is situated in the western half of Screech Lake. This zone is perched 100 metres above the interpreted Thelon sandstone/basement unconformity and plunges shallowly southwest, merging with the basement regolith just southwest of Screech Lake. These two zones of low resistivity, occurring above the unconformity within the sandstones, are interpreted to result from extensive, locally intense, clay alteration in the Thelon sandstones. This type and extent of alteration typically overlies high grade, unconformity-associated uranium deposits in the Athabasca Basin.

    Screech Lake is the site of highly anomalous radon gas emissions, as well as other products of radioactive decay. These emissions filter into the lake through lake bottom fissures and result in highly ionized lake waters. They are direct indicators of buried uranium mineralization and have made the Screech Lake area the focus of exploration for URE in the Thelon Basin.

    The Screech, Gravel Hill and Eyeberry properties (collectively, the Thelon Project), are described in a NI 43-101 technical report dated October 20, 2005, by J. D. Charlton, P. Geol. The Qualified Persons for Ur-Energy Inc. with respect to the Company’s Canadian holdings are Paul W. Pitman, P. Geo., VP Canadian Exploration and J. D. Charlton, P. Geol., Senior Consulting Geologist.

    VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(CCNMatthews - March 1, 2006) - Pitchstone Exploration Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:PXP) is pleased to announce that together with Cameco Corporation (TSX:CCO)(NYSE:CCJ) a Letter Agreement has been signed with Motapa Diamonds Inc. (TSX VENTURE:MTP) to jointly explore Motapas uranium exploration licenses in Gabon.

    Motapa has received confirmation from the Gabon Ministry of Mines, Energy, Petroleum and Hydraulic Resources that Motapas application for exclusive rights to explore for uranium over licenses covering 396,100 hectares of the Francevillian Basin in east-central Gabon has been approved. The licenses were applied for on the basis of results of geochemical analyses of samples collected concurrent with Motapas diamond exploration work in Gabon.

    The Proterozoic Francevillian Basin of Gabon is analogous to the Athabasca Basin of Saskatchewan. Deposits in the Francevillian have produced in the order of 100 million pounds of U3O8 ranking it as one of the worlds most significant uranium districts. The parties feel the region is under-explored and offers excellent potential.

    Terms of the Letter Agreement provide Cameco and Pitchstone with the option to earn a 56% interest in the licenses (28% each) by incurring exploration expenditures of C$3,500,000 (C$1,750,000 each) over a four year period. Subsequent to this initial vesting period, Cameco and Pitchstone will have a second option to acquire an additional 24% interest (12% each) by expending a further C$8,500,000 (C$4,250,000 each) within three years following the completion of initial vesting.

    "We are delighted to involve Cameco and Pitchstone on this project," noted Dr. Larry Ott, CEO of Motapa. "The uranium exploration expertise of both Pitchstone and Cameco, together with the industry strength of Cameco provides an opportunity to aggressively advance the project on the basis of sound technical merit."

    The Letter Agreement is subject to the satisfactory completion of a due diligence review by Cameco and Pitchstone by May 31, 2006 and is further subject to the waiver by Motapas alliance partner BHP Billiton to certain back in rights to the project pursuant to a pre-existing agreement.

    Pitchstone is an aggressive uranium exploration company with eight projects in the eastern Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan and three in the Hornby Bay Basin, Nunavut and NWT.

    Cameco is the worlds leading uranium producer with production facilities in Canada, United States and Kazakhstan.

    Motapa is among the leading diamond explorers in Africa and has interests in over 11 million hectares of diamond prospective properties located in Namibia, Zambia, Botswana, Gabon and Mozambique.

    On behalf of the Board,

    E.A.G. (Ted) Trueman, P.Geo., P.Eng. CEO and Director

    Ur-Energy Inc. Announces High Radon Anomalies at Screech Property, NWT

    Ur-Energy Inc. Announces High Radon Anomalies at Screech Property, NWT

    DENVER, COLORADO (CCNMatthews – March 2, 2006) - Ur-Energy (TSX:URE) is pleased to announce positive results from a radon survey carried out over the Screech Lake Property during the 2005 summer field season.

    The Screech Lake area is located in the southwestern Thelon Basin NWT and was the site of several uranium exploration programs completed by Urangesellschaft Canada Ltd. (UG) during the period 1976 to 1981. Their efforts focused on the measurement of highly anomalous amounts of radon, as well as other products of radioactive decay, that were found to be concentrated in the waters of Screech Lake and surrounding area. The sources of the radon are fissures emitting radioactive waters into the lake bottom and springs emanating ground water and gas bubbles, located around the southwest shore of Screech Lake.

    URE completed radon surveys collecting over 400 ground readings and 26 radon-in-water readings. The survey measured anomalous radon gas emanating from soils and lake waters from Screech and other lakes and streams in the immediate area. In particular, URE detected very high concentrations of radon in water samples from groundwater springs emanating gas bubbles along the southwest shore of Screech Lake. Dr. Paul Kotrappa, a recognized authority on radon-monitoring and President of Rad Elec Inc. of Frederick, MD (www.radelec.com) has independently verified all URE radon calculations and test results.

    The radon anomalies outlined by UG in the 1970s were confirmed and expanded by the URE survey results. A better-defined pattern of the radon anomalous values was defined through greater sampling density and measurement accuracy of the instrumentation. The anomaly pattern outlined is believed to be reflecting bedrock faults in the Screech Lake area, where an older east-west structure is interpreted to be offset by younger northwest-trending faults. Corroborating evidence for this pattern of faulting comes from the recently completed ground geophysical surveys over the Screech Lake area.

    Other significant characteristics of the Screech Lake anomaly include a high uranium/thorium ratio as measured by UG from the lake bottom springs, and highly anomalous amounts of radiogenic helium as measured by UG in soils. In addition, drilling by UG at the west end of Screech Lake determined that there is no permafrost, in contrast to the appreciable thickness of permafrost elsewhere across the Thelon basin.

    The accumulated evidence at Screech Lake indicates anomalous uranium concentrations either perched within the Thelon sandstones or along the basement unconformity, or both, at Screech Lake.

    URE intends to expand and further refine the radon anomalies in 2006, as well to explore two other promising targets on the property. Additional ground geophysical surveys are planned for the spring, 2006. Results of this work will provide the basis for an exploratory drilling program to evaluate the uranium potential on the property.

    Qualified Persons for Ur-Energy Inc., as defined by National Instrument 43-101, are J. D. Charlton, P. Geol. Senior Consulting Geologist and Paul W. Pitman, P. Geo. V.P. Exploration, Canada.

    Ur-Energy is a dynamic junior mining company engaged in the identification, acquisition and exploration of uranium properties in Canada and in the United States.

    Volume is groot. Nu al een omzet van boven de 2.200.000. Gem. over de afgelopen 2.300.000 op dagbasis.
    Mogelijk begin van een opmars. Het is in ieder geval een duidelijke breuk met de afgelopen weken zowel qua koers als qua omzet:
