The pickings are slim for uranium investors. There's a long line of exploration juniors in the market, but few actual producers, such as Cameco Corp. and Denison Mines Inc. Vancouver-based UrAsia Energy Ltd. (UUU/TSX-V) joined the fray yesterday. UrAsia raised $504-million in a public offering and purchased an operating uranium mine and two advanced projects in Kazakhstan. Production is expected to be about 1.4 million pounds of uranium at a cash cost of less than US$10 per pound in 2006. Uranium demand remains strong. Yesterday, analyst Brian MacArthur of UBS Investment Research raised his 2006 price estimate for uranium by 41% to US$38 a pound.
