“Solid Execution Continues into 2013...Resources have grown each of the last three years and now sit at 43.3 Mlbs grading 0.69% ... but (we) would not be surprised if Angilak eventually reaches district-scale, >100 Mlbs levels.”

Optimized tests produce encouraging values: Alkaline leaching process indicates high recovery - 95.9%

of uranium extracted in 72 hours

Precipitation tests yield low-impurity - 71.9% U in a final yellowcake product

"The final yellowcake produced from the leach solution was a low-impurity product. Available final yellowcake assays fell below the maximum concentration limit without penalty of ASTM C967-13 (standard specification for uranium ore concentrate)," stated Chuck Edwards, director of metallurgy, Amec. "The alkaline leaching process proposed for the Lac 50 trend uranium deposits is similar to that used successfully for almost 30 years at Eldorado Nuclear's Beaverlodge mill in Northern Saskatchewan."
