Results continue to be very encouraging as the radiometric equivalent U₃0₈ grade (% e U₃O₈) values for two additional confirmation holes closely match historical data from near the same locations. Century Wireline Services completed the downhole radiometric survey (i.e. natural gamma log) of the Company’s completed boreholes and reported the following results: PDF

These holes are 2 of 21 planned drill holes comprising Phase 1 of a three-phase confirmation drilling program designed to test multiple generations of historical data in support of a new mineral resource estimate calculation to be completed at Cebolleta. Key elements to evaluate our current results with historic data are lithology along with depth, amplitude and peaks of mineralization. Thus far, reported results are remarkably good matches to the Company’s historic database. It’s both a testament to the quality of the deposit at Cebolleta and Sohio’s previous work from over 50 years ago that is the foundation of the historical resource (insert usual disclaimer footnote).

As part of the confirmation program, the Company is also evaluating the radiometric equilibrium of uranium mineralization using chemical assays of core samples to compare with radiometric results.  Sohio completed extensive equilibrium studies at the Project and determined there was a consistent trend of chemical assays exceeding radiometric assays[1].

David Suda, CEO of the Company, stated, “We are highly encouraged but not surprised by the results of our drilling thus far. With more drilling and results to come, our confidence grows in an ability to deliver significant shareholder value. Cebolleta is a rare opportunity to invest in near surface uranium in a strengthening market for the sought after commodity.”

Cebolleta is an advanced uranium exploration project with a historical uranium Inferred Mineral Resource of 5.6M tons (5.1M tonnes) at an average grade of 0.17% eU₃O₈ containing 18.98M lbs (8,600 tonnes) U₃O₈ according to a 2014 NI 43-101 Technical Report commissioned by previous owner, Uranium Resources, Inc.[2] The reliability of the historical estimate is considered reasonable, but a qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as a current Mineral Resource and the Company is not treating the historical estimate as a current Mineral Resource.
