Anybody have ideas about the prospects for uranium price as the world becomes more developed and needing more power? I'm personally pretty bullish about uranium due to how cheap it is to how much energy can be obtained from it compared to oil but I think it will be some time before demand increases

Saw this in an ad "Authentic METEORITE Samples! - Impressive Meteorite samples - literally a piece of outer space - actual extraterrestrial material from the cores of distant planets and asteroids." Clearly their audience does not consider what the rocks on Earth are made up

Can't tell if this thread is a troll or not...but I'll bite.

Prices are climbing, although this chart doesn't show 2012, during which prices have dropped back to about $45/lb. Regardless, people thought it would remain cheaper for longer. It'll be interesting to see future price points and how it affects the market.

The current limiting agent for nuclear power is not the price of the uranium, it's the up front cost of the technology needed. Nuclear infrastructure is expensive as fuck.

I work in a uranium mine and mill, it's one of the highest grade deposits in the world, and produces yellowcake for export and enrichment, mainly from the Chinese

You may be able to answer my question then. If the price of Uranium has risen. Why during the mid 80's did a number of Uranium mines in Central Canada, ie. northern SK around Lake Athabasca?

never finished your question? i wasn't alive in the 80s,but I know that the mines I work with were all built in the 80s, one of them has flooded 3 times and still hasn't produced a single tonne of uranium, yet they continue construction, they claim it will pay for itself in 18 months once they start producing. i assume you meant why did they close? I think it may have been because those mines were low grade, and a lot of high grade and more profitable deposits were discovered.
