if we have thorium, that is good; not bad

I noted several comments about thorium possibly emerging as the source of radio active readings on Reefton's tenements in Namibia. Whilst we are all more familiar with uranium, do not panic if thorium is reported. The latest price of thorium is about 40% of the price of gold--approx $US200 per oz. Thorium has many immediate uses, but some of the very latest designs of atomic power stations preparing to emerge from the drawing boards will be using thorium as fuel in a few years time when a few remaining tech bugs are eliminated. When uranium rises sharply in the market place, electricity will be generated by thorium.
