Re Cameco offerCameco will probably wait until they settle the tax bill with CRA before they make any new plans for large purchases. Cameco or any othe producer will not be making any offer for NXE until they have a 43-101 as too risky. If the numbers do not come out as expected would end up like the merger deal.
The NXE deposit is very different than PLS and will never be as profitable as the deposit is very deep and the ore not concentrated. Drill results show narrow high grade bands over hundred of meters of ore and will be expensive to mine.
