Strathmore Minerals Corp. (TSX-STM.V / OTC:STHJF) is a Canadian based uranium exploration and development company with advanced properties located in the United States.
Current Operations:
Strathmore has acquired eight areas of known mineralization in the Gas Hills Uranium District. The Company's land holdings now total more than 33,000 acres (13,000+ Ha). Historically, the Gas Hills Uranium District was one of the most prolific uranium producing areas in the United States during the last uranium cycle, with total production exceeding 100 million pounds.
The Gas Hills area is located 45 miles east of Riverton Wyoming, home of the Company's US exploration and development office. The majority of the production in this area was from conventional open-pit mining.
In addition to its holdings in Wyoming, Strathmore is also developing properties in New Mexico of which Roca Honda is its lead property.
Roca Honda is located in the Grant's Mineral Belt in New Mexico, which yielded over 300 million lbs of cumulative uranium production, and was the largest producing uranium district in the world during the last uranium cycle.
The Roca Honda uranium property consists of 63 unpatented mining claims located on land owned by the Federal government and administered by the US Bureau of Land Management (BLM). In addition, the property includes one State of New Mexico Lease. The combined land package is 745 hectares (1,840 acres) in size. The Roca Honda property is not adjacent to, or near land owned by the Navajo Nation
In April 2006, the Company announced that it had completed a National Instrument 43-101 compliant resource estimate. Based on available drill hole information, a measured and indicated mineral resource of 17,512,000 lbs. U3O8 contained within 3,782,000 tons at an average grade of 0.23% U3O8 was estimated for the Roca Honda property. An additional 15,832,000 lbs. at an average grade of 0.17% U3O8 are estimated as an inferred mineral resource. (see link to report below).
In its news release dated July 26th, 2007, the Company announced that it had completed a joint venture agreement with Sumitomo Corp. of Japan to develop the Roca Honda project.
