URANIUM REACTION
Switzerlands anti-nuclear stance softening?
Reports from Switzerland indicate that a Senate committee has drafted three texts on nuclear policy that would all keep the door open for nuclear power, but would ban current generation designs. This appears to be a notable softening in the stance of a country that saw its National Council approve three texts that banned construction of all new reactors. The Senate-generated texts would consider Generation-III reactor designs, which are expected to include enhanced safety features over the current Generation-II designs. The Swiss Senate is expected to vote on the new texts on September 28. After which it will then be sent back to the National Council for debate and vote. Once approved, the cabinet would draft enacting legislation that would then be debated in both houses again. Switzerland is one of the three countries with the most adverse reactions to nuclear power post-Fukushima (the others being Germany and Italy). With countries around the world moving forward with nuclear power, the actions of the Swiss Senate may indicate a softening in their stance. In other Swiss news, the countrys Federal Nuclear Safety Commission declared that Switzerlands five nuclear power stations can cope with the kind of severe flooding that only occurs once in every 10,000 years. An assessment of their ability to withstand major earthquakes is expected in March 2012.

U3O8 CORPS BERLIN PROJECT RESOURCE ESTIMATE IS ON TRACK


U3O8 Corp. (UWE-TSXV) announced this week that its infill drilling program is proceeding on schedule for its Berlin Project located in the Caldas province of Columbia. The project, which has a historical resource estimate of 38 M lbs of U3O8 at a grade of 0.13%, is expected to have a 43-101 compliant resource estimate in early Q4/2011. Besides uranium, the resource estimate may also include other commodities such as: vanadium, phosphate, molybdenum, rhenium, silver and yttrium as meaningful amounts of these metals have been encountered in the assay results. To date, 72 bore holes over 16,050m have been drilled as part of a 19,000m infill drill program. Forty-one holes have been assayed and management notes that the holes confirm the continuity of mineralization along strike and across the Berlin syncline. Two drill rigs continue to focus on resource drilling, while trenching is planned to advance along the whole 10.5km trend

HATHOR ANNOUNCES IMPRESSIVE DRILL RESULTS FROM FAR EAST ZONE


Hathor Exploration (HAT-TSXV) announced drill results from the Far East Zone of its summer 2011 drilling campaign. Highlights from the results include 61m grading 1.78% U3O8, 12m grading 2.65% U3O8, 34m grading 3.34% U3O8, and 42m grading 2.95% U3O8. These are long, high-grade intercepts that begin 320m to 435m from surface. Management approximates the geometry of the Far East Zone to be 95 m x 35m with an average thickness of 33m. Based on Hathors provided guidelines of a weighted average grade of 2.25% and a density range of 1.97 to 5.04 g/cm3, the estimated resource size is between 10.7M to 27.4M lbs of U3O8 in the Far East Zone. Of course, significant exploration still needs to be done to refine and confirm these estimates.

Definitions of recommendations
BUY: The stock is attractively priced relative to the companys fundamentals and we expect it to appreciate significantly from the current price over the next 6 to 12 months.

BUY (Speculative): The stock is attractively priced relative to the companys fundamentals, however investment in the security carries a higher degree of risk. NEUTRAL: The stock is fairly valued, lacks a near term catalyst, or its execution risk is such that we expect it to trade within a narrow range of the current price in the next 6 to 12 months. The longer term fundamental value of the company may be materially higher, but certain milestones/catalysts have yet to be fully realized. SELL: The stock is overpriced relative to the companys fundamentals, and we expect it to decline from the current price over the next 6 to 12 months. TENDER: We believe the offer price by the acquirer is fair and thus recommend investors tender their shares to the offer. UNDER REVIEW: We are temporarily placing our recommendation under review until further information is disclosed.
