By introducing new methods and by making it a byproduct of its normal business, International Minerals makes the old idea pay new dividends. Florida has the world's richest-known phosphate deposits, and the AEC says that, suitably developed, the uranium from phosphates would be able to compete with that from the Colorado ores...
