Uranium mining, after nearly 40 years of dormancy, is making a comeback in five western U.S. states, thanks to a reversal in prices since 2002.
Claims are being staked by people hoping to be bought out or paid royalties. Canadian firms are buying old U.S. mines such as those that dotted the landscape around Moab, Utah. Seven new mines have opened in five states.
This boom, unlike uranium mining borne from the 1950s nuclear arms race - (in the 1950s for some A-bombs etc. and the boom ended after only a few years - well different this time with 1000 of uranium energy plants needs plenty of U3O8 feed - for the future) imo. - To be at the right place - at the right time.
The resurgence in uranium mining was triggered by increased global demand for the radioactive mineral.
Five years ago, the spot price for uranium was just less than $10 per pound; now it's $138.
But the process of restarting the industry is slow.
