Uranium in seawater
The ocean is the biggest deposit of metals in the world. Howe Street joke on promoters with low grade deposits is bring up "I staked the ocean" i gues only funny on Howe Street. The point is any "deposit" measured in PPM is suspect at best especially when used in a context of bulk tonnage. Stick with the Saskatchewan and Canada. Peru is not as easy as the promoters say and beware of juridictions that a uranium mine has never been permitted. Repeat after me. Saskatchewan, Saskatchewan
Uranium in Seawater
Many people do not realize that seawater has a natural concentration of uranium. The percentage of uranium in seawater is quite low, as one may expect. It has been shown that the uranium concentration of seawater is only about 3 parts per billion, which is about 3 milligrams of uranium per cubic meter. [1] The total volume of the oceans is about 1.37 billion cubic kilometers, so there is a total of about 4.5 billion tons of uranium in seawater. Assuming we could recover half of this resource, this much uranium could support 6,500 years of nuclear capacity. [2]
