Thank you for the insight.

Do you have any sense of the in situ prospects for URZ?

Their close working relationship with the Wyoming state regulators seems to bode well for their eventual move into production;

As well, Glenn Catchpole, the CEO, is old-school experienced, with a wealth of on-the-ground knowledge.

Their latest fund raising last March was dilutive but some seem to think they won't have to raise cash for 2 years(?).

URZ seems to be rebounding after a pain journey into the wilderness.

regards,

Shakes

>>>The In-situ recovery process is more complex than heap leaching,<<<

As I recall, the chemistry is pretty simple. What's circulated is like soda water (sometimes called "carbonic acid") and that dissolves the uranium mineral. I forget how it's precipitated--maybe using resin beads?
