The Energy Sands project consists of sandstone-hosted uranium and vanadium mineralization with demonstrated potential to establish resources, with historical small-scale mining having occurred in two isolated regions of the Property.
Uranium mineralization on the Project is hosted within the Salt Wash Member of the Jurassic Morrison Formation. Mineralization within the Tidwell Mineral Belt of the San Rafael Uranium District is oriented in a series of roughly northeast trends. Individual mineralized bodies are tabular to lenticular with the long axis aligned along the trend.
The Energy Sands Project is on-trend and approximately 4 kilometres from the Western Uranium’s Rafael Uranium Project, which is host to 758,050 tons of indicated mineral resources averaging 0.225% U3O8 and 0.30% V2O5 (containing 3,404,600 million pounds of U3O8 and 4,595,600 million pounds of V2O5); and 453,850 tons of inferred mineral resources averaging 0.205% U3O8 and 0.28% V2O5 (containing 1,859,600 million pounds of U3O8 and 2,510,600 million pounds of V2O5), at a cut off grade of 0.06% U3O8 (from the Nov-19, 2014 Technical Report filed by Western Uranium).
A historical report, archived by the United Stated Geological Survey (USGS) outlines small-scale production of uranium by the Minerals Corporation of America, totalling 51.8 Tons at a grade of 0.373% U3O8 and 1.10% V2O5 occurred between 1953 and 1956 (Byers & Robertson, 1956).
