Perhaps I'm too much of a sceptic, but I would have thought that the timing of this announcement is just a little too coincidental....seems to me that this has much more to do with deflecting attention from the increasing likely scenario that the much vaunted Leadville seems to be a duster.
If your interest is in Uranium, think you'd be much better off investing in a uranium stock in SA like AGS, PNN, CUY or MTN.
