Iran Helping Venezuela Find Uranium Deposits
Yeah, this is going to turn out well.
Mining Minister Rodolfo Sanz said Iran has been assisting Venezuela with geophysical survey flights and geochemical analysis of the deposits, and that evaluations "indicate the existence of uranium in western parts of the country and in Santa Elena de Uairen," in southeastern Bolivar state.
"We could have important reserves of uranium," Sanz told reporters upon arrival on Venezuela's Margarita Island for a weekend Africa-South America summit. He added that efforts to certify the reserves could begin within the next three years.
Given that Obama has already decided Iran will have nuclear weapons I expect our next move will be to provide stimulus money to Burritohead so they can fund exploration and mining to move things along faster.
