European Politicians Praise Alberta's Oilsands

"EU members expected a 'disaster area' but came away impressed."

European politicians toured oilsands sites this week. Some European politicians are praising Alberta's oilsands operations after a tour of the region. A 12-member delegation from Europe ended a visit to the province Wednesday morning.

The European Union is currently considering an initiative that would impose a negative label on oil from Alberta. Europe does not buy oil from Alberta, but the European Parliament's influence could damage the province's reputation.

The delegation met with politicians at the Alberta legislature earlier this week and toured a number of oilsands sites Tuesday.

United Kingdom Member Philip Bradbourn said pictures and stories in the media tell a different story from the impression he now has of northeastern Alberta.

"I think. . .we came with a preconceived idea [that] maybe we would be looking at some sort of disaster area and actually we weren't," he said. "We were very impressed with the working together of the provincial government, the national government and the companies there."

"I think we were all satisfied that everything is being done that can be done to mitigate against any damage," Bradbourn said.

The delegation met with members of the environmental watchdog Pembina Institute earlier this week. It will meet with First Nations groups Thursday in Ottawa.

Given the declining global gold production, mining companies’ demand for reserve replacement and the acute dearth of new gold discoveries, there is no doubt that real economic discoveries will be exceptionally valuable. . .the opportunity for stellar profits is the best it has probably ever been. Identifying the few successes, however, will require vigilant and constant technical assessment of geology and drill results, always with an eye to mine economics.

"Review process is extended an additional 45 days to allow six companies to return to the negotiating table for direct talks with government ministers."

I haven’t spoken to my old mining stock friend, noted and universally respected gold stock guru, Bob Bishop, about Rare Element in a year, but I hear he is still a supporter and very large shareholder.

Appel, author of Financial Insights, first became bullish on uranium in mid-2003, when it appeared obvious that its supply versus demand equation was fated to seriously drive higher its price. Since then, a series of events in the uranium industry has led Appel to believe that uranium prices will reach never before seen levels.
