And just where does the yellow cake and/or the money go from
here?



Some analysts are suggesting 100$US per ounce. Anyone know what
the yield for this type of yellow cake is? FWIW a metric ton is
1000KG or 2200 lbs.

Even assuming a 60% yield we are talking 550 X 2200 X 90$ X 0.6
or 66 million $US in unvouchered/uninventoried assets.

Current U308 price appears to be about 90$US/pound.

but some of the commodity bucket shops are suggesting 100$US per
ounce
