PERSPECTIVE ( where the big money is made )Just how valuble is uranium when it comes to = electricity ?
Should junior explorers jv with energy producers ?
= Share % take on retail revenues ?
With a complete combustion or fission , approx. 8 kWh of heat can be generated from
1 kg of coal, approx. 12 kWh from 1 kg of mineral oil and around
24,000,000 kWh from 1 kg of uranium-235.
End-users in Canada face varying electricity costs, with a national monthly average of
19.2 Canadian cents per kilowatt-hour
24,000,000 KWh
x 19.2 cents
= $ 4,560,000 cad ( per 1 kg U ) see below for further calculations

16,500,000 lbs U308
U308
Triuranium octoxide (U3O8) is a compound of uranium. It is present as an olive green to black, odorless solid. It is one of the more popular forms of yellowcake and is shipped between mills and refineries in this form.
U3O8 – about 85% uranium by mass.

16,500,000 lbs U308
~ 2.2 ( kg conversion )
= 7,500,000 kgs
x 85% ( U308 conversion to 100% U )
= 6,375,000 kgs of pure U
x .72% ( extract U235 fissile )
= 45,900 kgs of U235
x $ 4,560,000 cad ( 1 kg revenue @ 19.2 cents )
= $ 209,304,000,000 billion cad
7,500,000 kgs
- 45,900 kg U235
7,454,100 kg U -------------> converts to plutonium U238
$$$$$$$
Plutonium is a radioactive element that can be used for research and nuclear applications. It's worth about $4,000 per gram
Now take a look at
avg stock values of junior uranium explorers with deposits.
Are uranium stocks undervalued ?
Uranium junior's should seek jv's with energy co's + military.
= profit sharing on retail electricity + tech.
Aregentina has it's own U refining.
Why not jv with Argentine refiner = profit share = more value for junior + shareholder.
Cheers....
