Yellowcake & Strathmore Advance Sky ISR Uranium Project
6/25/2007
RIVERTON, Wyo., Jun 25, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
Yellowcake Mining Inc. ("Yellowcake" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that, together with its Joint Venture partner, Strathmore Resources (US) Ltd.(a subsidiary of Strathmore Minerals Corp.), they have begun drilling and installing five monitor wells as they continue to make progress in their efforts to advance the permitting process at their Sky ISR uranium project in Wyoming.
The five monitor wells will be drilled to depths of approximately 1,100 feet (335 m). These wells will enable the Joint Venture to obtain vital information regarding geologic, hydrologic, and background groundwater data, in addition to further defining the ore body. On completion, 72 hour pump tests on each of the five wells will be carried out to determine drawdown of the aquifer and to establish baseline water quality. Analysis of these data will be used in designing the well field and in operations planning. In addition, this information comprises an important part of the Joint Venture's submission to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) in support of its license application.
The Sky Project is Strathmore's first ISR recoverable resource under development in Wyoming. It has recently been Joint Ventured with Yellowcake, which is spending US $7.5 million to earn a 60% interest in the project. ISR (in-situ recovery) is a method of uranium extraction that was pioneered in Wyoming. It utilizes oxygenated groundwater to dissolve the uranium in sandstone formations below the water table and is pumped to the surface using water injection wells and recovery wells. Members of Strathmore's technical team have extensive working experience in ISR producing uranium mines in the United States.
Further planning has begun for the installation of meteorological monitoring stations and the collection of background data. Amenability studies using the core recovered from the drilling will also be conducted. On completion of water analyses and amenability studies, the Company will complete the design of an ISR extraction plant, which is approximately 60% complete. The Joint Venture also intends to carry out additional exploration and development drilling to potentially increase the size of the ore body.
YELLOWCAKE MINING INC. (OTCBB:YCKM) is a Uranium company focused solely on exploring and developing Uranium properties in the United States. Current properties and potential future acquisitions give Yellowcake the expectation of near to medium term production. Yellowcake Mining successfully raised $6 million in February 2007, and there are currently 50,940,000 shares outstanding in the company.
