KELOWNA, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Jan. 6, 2012) - STRATHMORE MINERALS CORP. ("Strathmore" or the "Company") (News - Market indicators)(OTCQX:STHJF) announces that it has engaged Chlumsky, Armbrust & Meyer LLC ("CAM"), an international mineral resources and engineering consulting firm based in Lakewood, Colorado, to prepare a new independent NI 43-101 technical report for the Company's Gas Hills Properties.

Church Rock Deposit McKinley County, New Mexico USA" to ensure that this technical report is NI 43-101 compliant. The Company anticipates that revisions to the Church Rock technical report will be completed within the next 45 days.
