STRATHMORE AMENDS PINE-TREE RENO CREEK, WYOMING JOINT VENTURE
STRATHMORE MINERALS CORP. (“Strathmore” or “the Company”) announces that it has amended a provision of its JV agreement with American Uranium Corporation (“American Uranium”) on its Pine Tree-Reno Creek uranium project in Wyoming.
Effective immediately, American Uranium has agreed to increase its exploration and development expenditures from US $5 million to US $ 12.375 million to earn an initial 22.5% interest in the project .. Both companies have mutually agreed to this amendmen t. With this amendment, Strathmore has agreed to rescind its 11% buyback provision under the terms specified by the original agreemen t . All other terms as per the original agreement remain unchanged , including total expenditures of US $33 million required to be spent by American Uranium to earn a 60% interest.
In November, American Uranium announced that it had acquired a strategically important data base from Power Resources Inc. (Cameco’s US subsidiary). The data package contains digitized and paper logs for approximately 1,100 drill holes, in addition to testing and permitting documents. Based on the analysis of this historical data, the Joint Venture has planned the following work programs for 2008:
•
Complete a NI 43-101 technical report to verify and update the 14 million lb historical resource at Pine-Tree Reno Creek
•
Complete additional exploration and infill drilling
•
Initiate permit activities including installation of groundwater monitor wells, technical wellfield design, and preliminary engineering design of an ISR facility.
Strathmore’s newly appointed CEO David Miller, commented, “Pine-Tree Reno Creek has been in our portfolio of projects since the beginning. It is located in close proximity to Wyoming’s existing ISR production owned by Cameco and AREVA. The majority of the property comprises parts of the former Pathfinder and Union Pacific Resource s projects that were close to completing all permitting prior to the major decline in uranium prices. Pine-Tree Reno Creek will complement our 100% owned Gas Hills Project, which is planned for conventional open-pit production in 2009-2010. This decision to amend our agreement sets the stage to further advance the development of the Pine-Tree Reno Creek project.”
