Sarasota, FL, May 05, 2006 --(
PR.com)-- In the face of Kazakhstan's claims it would overtake Canada and Australia as the world's leading uranium producing country, Ux C president Jeff Combs questioned the hype about that country's timetable. He told StockInterview.com, in the second part of a two-part interview, “The hype might be related more as to whether they can do it as quickly as they say, as opposed to whether they can eventually get to the levels they’re talking about.” Combs went on to say, “They definitely will continue to increase production, but perhaps not at the rates they are advertising. They’ve produced a lot in the past, in the old Soviet Union days. I think they can get back up to those production levels, but it’s going to take some time.”
Combs observed Kazakhstan may have difficulty with its widely announced time table, “One of the things that will slow them down is the infrastructure, including the skilled work force, needed to expand at that rate.” He added, “A large part of it is just the time is takes to build the infrastructure, including training workers. You can have all of the investment in the world, but it still takes time to get things done, especially if the infrastructure isn’t well developed in the first place.”
During the course of his interview with StockInterview.com, Combs discussed uranium prospects in Mongolia and Africa, Russia’s ambitions in the nuclear energy cycle, and the Asian Factor – and how it might impact U.S. utilities.
