STRATHMORE SIGNS OPTION TO ACQUIRE EXISTING
NRC MILL SITE LICENSE AND ADDIT I ONAL PRIVATE MINERAL
RIGHTS IN GAS HILLS URANIUM DISTRICT, WYOMING
Strathmore Minerals Corporation is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, Strathmore Resources (US) Ltd. (“Strathmore” or “the Company”) has entered into an option agreement to purchase an existing NRC license and additional private mineral rights containing known uranium mineralization in the Gas Hills Uranium District, Wyoming. The NRC license covers a historic mill site. It will be evaluated to determine if it can be used for a new mill or ore heap and/or vat leach facility in the Gas Hills. Strathmore has agreed not to disclose the name of the company involved or the terms of this agreement. The private mineral rights are adjacent to existing Strathmore land holdings in the Gas Hills District and would be incorporated into new and expanded mining and milling scenario. Strathmore shall have one year to evaluate the acquisition of the NRC License and uranium properties and any obligations asso ciated with the option agreement.
The Gas Hills Uranium District was one of the most prolific uranium producing areas in the United States during the last uranium cycle, with total production exceeding 100 million pounds. The majority of this production was from conventional open-pit mining, and to a much lesser extent by underground and in-situ recovery. Strathmore controls over 32,000 acres in the District prior to this option agreement. The Company recently completed the installation of monitor wells in the George-Ver and Frazier La Mac areas for base line water quality data. Environmental baseline data continues to be collected with the recent completion of ground radiation surveys and installation of weather and air sampling stations. The Gas Hills area is located 45 miles east of Riverton Wyoming, home of the Company’s US exploration and development office.
The technical information in this news release has been prepared in accordance with the Canadian regulatory requirements set out in NI 43-101 and reviewed by David Miller, President and Chief Operating Officer for Strathmore Minerals Corp., a qualified person under NI 43-101 guidelines. It should be noted that mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability as defined by NI 43-101 guidelines.
STRATHMORE MINERALS CORP. is a Canadian based resource company specializing in the strategic acquisition, exploration and development of uranium properties in the United States. Headquartered in Kelowna, British Columbia, the Company also has U.S. based Development offices in Riverton, Wyoming and Santa Fe, New Mexico. STRATHMORE MINERALS CORP.
