Urano Energy Corp announced the successful completion of its initial review of historical uranium reserve estimates. This review encompasses the Bachelor, Dulaney, and La Sal Creek uranium-vanadium projects, which previously belonged to a set of 15 uranium assets acquired by the company.
Overview of Acquired Projects
The three chosen projects have a notable history of uranium and vanadium production. They are situated in regions renowned for their mineral wealth, indicating significant potential for future operations. The properties, located in historic mining districts, initially provide valuable insights into the resource landscape.
Key Highlights from the Review
Noteworthy points gathered from the review include:
- The deposits are found in the Saltwash Member of the Morrison Formation, a well-established host across the district.
- This assessment is preliminary and currently covers roughly 5% of the acquired property package.
- The projects include a total of 20 lode mining claims, spanning 425 acres.
- Investigative efforts revealed drilled-out historical estimates of uranium and vanadium reserves along with additional resource data.
- Detailed reports exist outlining the location of these historical resources, which have been dormant since mining operations ceased over four decades ago.
- The review indicates an inventory increase exceeding 477 thousand historical pounds of uranium (U3O8) specifically identified from the three properties, raising Urano's total to approximately 714 thousand pounds of uranium reserves.
- The company continues to analyze and validate known reserves to further ascertain potential resources across its broader portfolio.
