DJ,

You are joking right? Valuing a company based just on lbs in the ground irrespective of how close it is to production doesn't make any sense. URZ is probably just a couple of years away from actually producing yellowcake. At current spot prices they will be able to sell their uranium for a * profit * of above $80 a pound -- yet your methodology would only assign a value of less than $10 per lb. In this case, Mr. Market has got it right!

In the case of a company such as WUC, I agree with your approach because all they have at the moment is uranium in the ground. However, if and when they decide to advance their uranium towards actual production I would want to modify their valuation to take account of their increased chances of turning that uranium into cash.

Cheers
