URME Uranium Energy Corp Increases Historically-Drill Proven Uranium Resources with Addition to South Texas Portfolio Market Wire - November 21, 2006 9:06 AM (EDT)
AUSTIN, TEXAS, Nov 21, 2006 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- Uranium Energy Corp (OTCBB: URME)(FWB: U6Z)(BERLIN: U6Z) is pleased to announce the acquisition of 100% of the Nichols Project, with an historic resource of 1.2 million pounds of uranium, located in South Texas.
The Nichols Project consists of 900 acres, and is located within the heart of the historic Karnes County uranium mining district. Karnes County is immediately adjacent to Goliad County, the site of the Company's advanced Goliad Project operations. The property was originally developed by Texaco Uranium (now ChevronTexaco), and reportedly contains an historic resource of 1.2 million pounds of e-U3O8. Uranium Energy Corp is currently negotiating with a third party to acquire all or part of the Texaco exploration and development database associated with this deposit.
Data reviewed to date, including gamma logs from oil wells in the immediate area of the deposit, indicate that the ore body lies within the Tertiary age Jackson Formation, and occurs at an average depth of 440 feet. Texaco Uranium's plans to mine this deposit using In-Situ Leach (ISL) mining methods suggests that the geology of the property is amenable to this environmentally and economically superior technology.
Uranium Energy Corp has submitted an application with the Texas Railroad Commission for an exploration permit to allow a drilling program to verify the reported resource. This will be the Company's fourth planned drilling site in the United States, and the second in the state of Texas. Each drill program, including Nichols, has the objective of confirming historically drill-proven uranium resources, as well as expanding indicated uranium resources as suggested by the historical drilling databases in our possession, with a view towards developing mineable reserves.
