Project Overview

The Palangana Mine is located in the South Texas uranium belt.  The 8,796-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 mine by Union Carbide Corp ("UCC"), Chevron, and Everest Exploration Inc.  UCC produced uranium at the mine in the mid to late 1970's with ISR technology.

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 Mine of 1,057,000 pounds at an average grade of 0.135% U₃O₈. 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 U₃O₈ 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 Mine 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.
