| History of the Thompson Project |
|
The project area covers the Yellow Cat area of the historical Thompson uranium mining district. The Thompson district has a history of uranium mining dating to 1911, finishing in the early 1980s. A large number of abandoned mine workings occur across the Company’s leases, ranging in size from prospector’s pits to the significant Ringtail underground mine.

| Geology of the Thompson Project |
|
|
Uranium mineralization in the Thompson deposits occurs in the Jurassic Morrison Formation, in four sandstone lenses and in conglomeratic sandstone, as the mineral carnotite (a vanadium-uranium mineral). The uranium deposits within the Thompson Project correspond to palaeochannels within the Salt Wash and overlying Brushy Basin Members of the Jurassic aged Morrison Formation.
