PROJECT OVERVIEW

The Palangana in-situ recovery (ISR) uranium project is now ramping up production in South Texas.

The Palangana project is a prior-producing ISR project located in the South Texas uranium belt.  The 2,500-hectare (6,200-acre) property is located approximately 100 miles south of the Hobson facility.  Over 4,000 historic exploration, development and production holes were drilled at the project by Union Carbide Corp ("UCC"), Chevron, and Everest Exploration Inc.  UCC produced uranium at the project in the mid to late 1970's with ISR technology.

Harry Anthony, the Company's Chief Operating Officer, was a member of UCC's ISR mining team and oversaw the development and production of this project. 

Resource Estimates:

The latest 43-101 for Palangana was filed on Feb 23rd 2010.  The Technical Report provides for a Measured and Indicated Resource Estimate for the Company's Palangana Project of 1,057,000 pounds at an average grade of 0.135% eU3O8. This resource is located in two zones referred to as Production Area #1 ("PA-1") and Production Area #2 ("PA-2"). An additional 1,154,000 pounds of eU3O8 at an average grade of 0.176% is classified as an Inferred Resource Estimate, and is located in six new exploration zones. 

The Resource Estimates completed by SRK Consulting U.S. Inc are based on the results from 2,694 drill holes at the Palangana Project completed by previous operators including Uranium One, Chevron Corporation and Union Carbide Corp ("UCC").  The Resource Estimates are primarily located east of the Palangana Dome.
