Vielleicht tut sich ja was auf der Paydirt 2007.... SA talkfest on uranium draws 350 March 20, 2007 01:15am THE world's largest uranium producer, Cameco, will be represented at an Adelaide event this week. In a sign of the international interest in Australia's uranium potential, the number of delegates to the Paydirt 2007 Uranium Conference has almost doubled to 350 since last year's conference and will include a Who's Who of Australia's early-stage uranium explorers. Also present will be delegates from China, South Africa, Europe and North America. Presentations to be given will include those from: MINISTER for Industry, Tourism and Resources Ian Macfarlane. PROFESSOR Peter Johnson, who was part of the Federal Government's uranium mining, processing and nuclear energy review taskforce. AUSTRALIAN Uranium Association director Michael Angwin. NUCLEAR Energy Corporation of South Africa chief executive Rob Adam, representing the state-owned specialist in nuclear energy research and development. While the Thursday-Friday conference has attracted many companies keen to promote their prospects, it also will be a forum for deal making. Last year's event was attended by Chinese investor CITIC's Australian arm which later invested in South Australian companies Southern Uranium and Marathon Resources. Interest in uranium mining has surged in recent years, with the price rising from as low as $US9.70 a pound five years ago to $US91 now. The contentious mineral's price growth has been driven by rising interest in building nuclear reactors around the world as an alternative to plants which generate more carbon dioxide emissions. Stocks of nuclear fuel have also declined as stores of decommissioned weapons-grade material starts to run out. The conference will not have any sessions open to the public free of charge. Copies of presentations will be available for purchase from conferencer organiser Paydirt, a West Australian company. |
