(UCU) was silent but a market mover today, gaining $1.13 to $9.85 on 2.06 million shares.

Alex Klenman's Azincourt Energy Corp. (AAZ) jumped three cents to eight cents on 12.23 million shares Wednesday on word of high-grade uranium samples from its Harrier project in Labrador. The headline sample, from outcrop at the Brook showing, assayed 6.28 per cent uranium oxide, while a boulder found in the Moran Heights area managed 2.27 per cent. As well, boulders from the Minisinakwa and Whiskey Jack areas topped 1 per cent uranium oxide. The company also oohed and aahed over assays from a 0.1-metre check sample of core drilled 18 years ago. That new look delivered a grade of 2.71 per cent uranium oxide.
