Does anyone wish to buy uranium? Cuparhead is willing to start regular shipments to other nations wishing to trade energy, defence and manufacturing technologies, particularly in chemical and aeronautical engineering.

For an added price, we may also choose to trade with a single, generous partner on an exclusive basis.

President Sir General Paddy

We've got plenty, thanks.

Our nation would like to know the nature of the uranium you are selling, is it enriched?

Nigel Catalina III

President New Alameda

No, it is freshly mined and ready for shipping. At present, we do not have facilities for enrichment, although that is the next logical step up the supply chain for us (hence the request for chemical engineering technology).

I'm sure that you'd be interested in our uranium ore if you knew that it had an unusually abundent proportion of the more useful U isotope. A single kilo of Cuparhead uranium is as energy rich as three from rival sources.

We would gladly supply the Imperial Navy in exchange for enrichment and processing technology.

Paddy Scargill, Energy and Mining Minister

We've got our own Uranium Minning/Enrichment setup, however, we are still willing to try for that exclusive trade relationship you mentioned.

That would be nice, but a long time ago we discovered Crystalic fusion. Our power supply is now Plasma.

We accept your kind offer of trade in uranium. Shipments will commence as soon as your military escort ships arrive in the port of The Lane, Cuparhead (don't want to risk high-grade uranium getting into the wrong hands).

Regards

Minister Scargill, Trade and Enery Secretary
