I've been involved in the uranium industry for over 30 years, and I found stuff on historical background that even I didn't know. Great historical perspective, and well thought-out section on what to look for in uranium company stocks.

I highly (obviously) recommend this for anyone in the nuclear industry or interested in investing in the industry.

This is a well written and thoroughly researched book useful for both the novice and experienced uranium stock investor. It includes extensive background material, guides about what to look for when choosing a uranium investment, and coverage and analysis of key junior-to-intermediate exploration and production companies. The timing of its release is superb, as the importance of nuclear energy for combating global warming takes center stage, offering clear opportunities for investment. A highly informative and useful reference guide.

This book is the compilation and gathering of a phenomenal amount of detailed research. It makes in simple , yet smart terms the case for a rebirth of Uranium energy production around the world and how to wisely safely invest in this Nuclear BOOM. I loved it.

Uranium seems to be at an odd point right now, experiencing a bubble within a small corner of the market, and yet still undiscovered by mainstream investors and media.

This book is a solid reference on mining techniques, reactor designs, and the basics of the uranium market. However, it blatantly crosses the line of independent research, since the contributing writers are also executives of uranium companies, or heavily uranium-invested fund managers. This is not always a critical problem - its good to have finance writers put their money where their mouth is - but it is the classic, unresolvable conflict of interest... Are they true believers, or just pumping their own financial interests?

The portion of the book devoted to analyzing uranium mining and exploration plays is broad and vague. There's much discussion of theoretically how to evaluate a uranium company, but no actual examples of such analysis. (This is the same fault of notable uranium-bull newsletters.)

And as with most writing on the subject of new energy sources (nuclear, solar, wind, etc.) there is limited discussion of the true economics. We are told that uranium comprises X% of the cost of generating nuclear power, but are given no details of these calculations. What type of reactor, what fixed cost, what life span, what uranium price, etc?

Wall Street (or the Australian equivalent thereof) is begining to put quantitative effort in to the uranium sector. This will be good in developing an understanding of uranium economics - but bad for those still looking to place their bets before the mainstream alternative energy and green investors catch on and drive values up to (and above) the proper levels.

In the meantime, this book is a decent primer, but insufficent even with respect to its stated objectives.

The research presented is clear and logical, unlike so many other opinions and analysis published in the field of mining and especially uranium. I appreciated the discussion and a simple table of how much one ends up paying per ton of uranium using publicly available statistics.

Investor beware. Uranium stocks have tanked horribly over the last two years. While the fundamental analysis shown in this book appears well founded, there is a market of supply and demand out there. As long as public opinion of nuclear power is tainted with irrational fear, it'll be hard to make money in this market. Patience will pay off, though. Once the masses realize that there is no alternative to nuclear power in the short to mid-term run, these investments will become interesting again. Until then, it's a losing proposition.

I thought the presentation was overly light. Also at this point in time, the investment advice could have cost a person a lot of money.

I am also involved in the uranium industry and absolutely agree (without trying to be biased) that this is truly an informative read, whether you are involved in the industry or not. For readers who are curious about uranium and the nuclear process, in any stage, and for anyone who wants to learn a thing or two about the industry, where it has been and where it is going, this is truly a must-read and should be the 'centerpiece' to your uranium collection.

This is a great book, I learned a great details about uranium and uranium company from this book. This is a must have book for uranium investors.
