Section 8 Other Events
Item 8.01
Uranerz Energy Corporation announces the successful leasing of the fee mineral lands adjacent to and west of the Company’s Nichols Ranch ISR uranium project. This adjoining property appears to host the “nose” of the oxidation-reduction geochemical (roll) front and has the potential for increasing the known uranium mineralization at the Nichols Ranch project. Surface use rights were also agreed to on this land, allowing the right to use the surface for mining operations. This additional area is an extension to the Nichols Ranch project and is within the regulatory Nichols Ranch project boundary currently being permitted for in-situ recovery (“ISR”) uranium production.
The Nichols Ranch project is located in the Pumpkin Buttes mining district of the Wyoming Powder River basin. This basin currently has three commercial ISR uranium production projects that include Areva’s Christensen Ranch production project, and Cameco’s Smith Ranch and Highland production sites.
