Good management team. Well financed. Their Mongolian assets look very attractive. They also have some coal assets that no one is talking about. One of the gems in the uranium space.
Uranium company in Mongolia. Very risky as the government tends to make new tax laws. Rio Tinto (RTP-N) just bought 2 Mongolian projects from Ivanhoe Mines (IVN-T) indicating they're confident this will change. Very cheap.
Very attractive risk/reward. There is a lot of risk because of a current lawsuit by an individual who claims to own the project they are working on. Mongolia had also imposed some special laws regarding taxes. Feels a Mongolian story will be OK as two other major companies are now investing in Mongolia.
(A Top Pick Oct 26/06. Up 34%.) Uranium play in Mongolia. Got hammered in 2006 because of Mongolia and a lawsuit. If you are willing to take the risks, it is one of the cheapest stocks you can buy.
Uranium assets in Mongolia and next-door to Khan Resources (KRI-T). Likes both companies. Estimates they have at least 50 million lbs. Just a question of time for the assets to be produced. There is a lawsuit involved.
Asset is located in Mongolia. Russian government had developed the properties, but with low uranium prices, they walked away from the project. Basically, they just have to dewater the workings. Resource is about 55 million lbs. Good grade assets. Capital costs are fairly low. The problem is Mongolia. Waiting to see what happens with Ivanhoe (IVN-T).
Both Khan Resources (KRI-T) and Western Prospector (WNP-X) have some nice projects, but there is a lot of political risk in Mongolia. In the past, it has been known to expropriate properties, levy higher taxes, etc.
