Strathmore And UWNSG To Research Projects In Shirley Basin Uranium District

KELOWNA - Strathmore Plus Uranium Corporation (SUU) has teamed up with the University of Wyoming's Near-Surface Geophysical Center (UWNSG) to complete research at the Agate and Night Owl projects in the Shirley Basin uranium district of Wyoming. The University's School of Energy Resources announced they selected three proposed research projects to receive funding for nuclear-related research at UW, including for research at the Shirley Basin properties.

Bradley Carr, Director of the UWNSG, Associate Research Scientist in the UW Dept. Geology and Geophysics, applied for the Wyoming Nuclear Capacity Grant after discussions with Strathmore in participating in the geophysical study by contributing our Agate and Night Owl projects for research. The research study is titled "Pilot Study of Integrated Geophysical Method Characterization of Deposition/Roll Front Uranium Deposits in the Shirley Basin, Wyoming" will introduce, develop, and evaluate geophysical characterization and monitoring strategies for use in Wyoming uranium development projects with private industry partners. The two project sites are ideal for this type of study because of their near-surface uranium occurrences, available historical drilling results and recently obtained geophysical survey data, and their uniquely different geologic settings that provide locations for future exploration by Strathmore accompanied by geophysical research provided by the UWNSG staff and university graduate and undergraduate students.

Carr, said, "I'm very excited to be partnering with Strathmore Plus Uranium on this effort to apply recent geophysical method improvements and developments to uranium exploration and delineation at the Agate and Night Owl properties in Shirley Basin over the next couple of years. Geophysical delineation of these deposits is rarely studied outside of the Athabasca Basin in Canada, but we now have the opportunity to investigate both uranium specific geophysical characterization and address basic geoscience questions of these Shirley Basin deposits that will benefit the State and the Wyoming uranium industry directly within our borders."

John DeJoia, PG, Strathmore's Technical Advisor said, "This is amazing news. The University of Wyoming has a highly respected Geology and Geophysics school with a long and storied history and world class instructors. I look forward to the expertise and intellectual abilities they bring to our projects. This team should make the school and the State of Wyoming proud with their efforts."
