The acquisition is the site of over 8.5 million pounds of historical underground uranium production, primarily from the Ann Lee and Sandstone Mines, and is contiguous to the current uranium resource holdings of BHP Billiton. The Ambrosia Lake District includes some of the largest past-producing uranium mines in the U.S., operated at the time by Kerr McGee (now Andarko Petroleum), Homestake Mining (now Barrick Gold), Phillips Petroleum (now Conoco Phillips), and United Nuclear Corp. A substantial amount of production, development and exploration work has been completed on this property by these companies.

The Ann Lee Mine was operated by Phillips Petroleum from 1958 to 1963, and by United Nuclear Corp from 1963 through 1980. Over 5 million pounds of uranium were produced at an average grade of 0.2%. The Sandstone Mine was operated by United Nuclear Corp from 1959 through 1980. Over 3.5 million pounds of uranium were produced at an average grade of 0.17%. The uranium was mined from five ore zones within the Westwater Canyon member of the Morrison Formation, and the ore zones were approximately 6 feet thick with grades up to 0.56%.

Concurrent with the closing of this acquisition and the due diligence period, the Company is pursuing the acquisition of additional uranium production and exploration data covering the property. Company geologists are also actively reviewing underground "working" maps of the Sandstone and Ann Lee Mines to establish remaining uranium resources. These findings are anticipated to be ready upon the final closing of the acquisition within a month. At that time, an estimate of the total historically drill-indicated uranium resources for this acquisition will be announced.
