>>>RSC's rock is around 1% U3O8. So 2200lbs per tonne is 22lbs of uranium per tonne which is 22 * $62 = $1364/ton so about 2 oz au per ton.<<<

That's feasible for mining but not extremely impressive. Getting anything out of it is a long, long way off. You have financing, mine construction, mining, milling, refining, and marketing all well into the future.

I thought the tar sands moved from caution to wild speculation in a hurry, but uranium is doing it even faster.

Incidentally, "au" is the chemical symbol for gold, not uranium.

Ajonsey,

What Au equivalent value is typical for commercial U operations? I saw a Dejour NR with U in ppm values. I shortly sold. On the other hand - the Cigar Lake values were huge.

How does the cost of milling compare to gold?
