* The share price of Uran (URA) says it all, the stock closing at 3.6c on Friday. This was the company that, in December 2006, sent its shares soaring with the announcement that it had acquired two uranium prospects in Ukraine and would be in production within a year. Not quite - we're still waiting for this brainchild of MD Kate Hobbs (a former Atomic Energy Commission geologist) and Perth's "can do" mining man Michael Kiernan to deliver. In the meantime, there's been another detour, this time into manganese projects in Zambia.
