"The construction of the demonstration plant has generated significant interest from all major stakeholders and is widely recognised as a clear sign of our commitment to develop the Etango Project in a higher uranium price environment. The timing of the first test results in the June 2015 quarter coincides well with the growing awareness of the looming supply deficit."
