Probably pissing into the wind, here at the moment, but can anyone comment/confirm that the alleged Uranium here is in a form used by the industry?

All of the pictures I am finding of U235 are either fuel pellets of LEU or large, crude discs that seem to have been made for the sake of photo shoots and not triggering a spontaneous meltdown. Obviously, if this was produced by some underground operation, it probably defies conventions… But if is some kind of industry standard format that can be identified….

True, but it doesn't look like aluminum to me.

The main concern with Uranium is that you can't cast it into large contiguous chunks because of that pesky self-amplifying neutron cascade from fission. HEU - weapons grade - will spontaneously melt down if you get too much of it in one place, hence the wide disc it's often pictured in during in-process shots.

Assuming each of those cubes is 1kg… I'd have to run the calculations when I get home to see if they would/should be melting down. If a camera fag could work out approximate dimensions of the pictured metal, we could resolve a ballpark estimate for density and at least know if it's someone's zinc/aluminum casting or if it's trending in the Uranium densities. Not the most accurate, but better than "well, it looks like…" Obviously, we have to take his word on the mass. He could be lying, but it at least means he did his homework if the density comes out close.
