PROJECT OVERVIEW
Uranium Energy Corp’s Long Park Project is located on the NE side of the Paradox Valley, approximately 12 miles northwest of Naturita, Colorado. The Department of Energy (DOE) Lease Bid C-LP-23, Tract 2 is located adjacent to Long Park Project in Section 35, T47N, R17W. Other DOE uranium leasing program tracts 22, 23, 23A and 23B are located along the NE side of the Paradox Valley. The Long Park Project consists of 12 claims (Triangular-Whitney 1-12) located in Section 34 and 35, T47N, R17W, Montrose County, Colorado. The Salt Wash Member of the Morrison Formation is approximately 250-400 feet thick in the Long Park Project area. The Salt Wash contains three to eight sandstone ledges ranging from 20 feet to 150 feet in thickness and separated by clay or shale layers. The result is a cliff and slope topography. In the Long Park District the uranium bearing upper sand of the Salt Wash is from 20 feet to 100 feet thick. The sands were deposited in a sequence of southeast and northeast channel systems. In the southern end of Long Park just south of the Bitter Creek Mine, located in Section 12, T46N, R17W, the upper rim is not deposited. A highly altered 30 foot to 80 foot thick sequence of channel sands are located in the lower portion of the Salt Wash. These sands exhibit both a northeast and southeast trend.
