Creators

Description

The aim of this paper is to discuss features of the uranium market that appear to be overlooked in most discussions of supply and demand. Analogy with other mineral commodities, and an historical perspective can offer considerable insights to today's market conditions. Subject headings are: resources and reserves revisited; some lessons of the past (a lack of historical demand estimates; supply/demand balances; United States reactor orders; exploration; US mine and mill capacity; ore grades; price trends and cost pressures); some lessons for the future. (U.K.)
