HATHOR EXPLORATION (V-HAT) $1.91 +0.18
Maybe people are starting to care about uranium
again? We caught up with Steve Stanley, President of
Hathor Exploration today who tells us that they are experiencing
the typical things that always seem to go wrong
at the start of any drilling program, but they would expect
the first bunch of drilling results to come out starting in
about three to four weeks.
Meanwhile, we caught up with Eric Coffin of the Hard
Rock Analyst fame and he suggested that the uranium
sector feels like it is starting to “warm up again.”
He points to the Chinese deal with Cameco as the key
to the change in the feeling as he reminds us that there’s
so many reactors being built out there these days and
many of those people who spend billions of dollars on a
reactor, want to make sure that they’ve got some uranium
lined up for down the road.
Coffin reminds us that the Brothers and many others
have always felt that Hathor had a great project and a
great management team, but the question was, when will
uranium have people caring again?
One thing Coffin is looking forward to in the coming
months is some new resource estimates as to just how
many pounds of uranium they might have discovered so
far on their Roughrider project. The question remains
though, whether we have seen the turn in the uranium
sector as when does that spot price start moving is yet to
show a significant move.
There have been a lot of analysts that have been aggressive
on the Hathor story since day one, one of which
is Canaccord’s Eric Zaunscherb. He carries a still lofty
target of $4.50 on the Hathor story and writes, “We value
Hathor with a 49 million lbs U3O8 resource, based on
conceptual resources of 20 million lbs at Roughrider and
16 million lbs at Roughrider East, with room to grow.”
Go figure! A target that appeals to one’s sense of
greed in a world full of fear!
