Atomic Annie Bites The Uranium Dust

The Market Oracle reports on Anne Lauvergeon’s uranium mining ventures.

The market news is quoted as saying:

Annie had set up new, more complicated deals within the deal, bringing in her own business friends from Kabila’s Congo Republic, with uranium mining interests of the most muscular type: state militias supplying uranium from the venerable Shinkolobwe mine, which supplied the Manhattan Project to produce the world’s first atom bomb. The mine, officially closed since 2005 because of massive radioactive pollution and environment damage, has large stockpiles to raid and fight over, in uranium’s version of Blood Diamonds. To be sure, Atomic Annie’s Congo friends have clean fingernails and Gucci suits, but organized crime and state terror is very near the surface in Areva’s real African strategy, but Annie had lost her touch and could not deliver the deals. Sarkozy can’t stand losers.
