The project area covers the Yellow Cat area of the historical Thompson uranium mining district. The Thompson district has a history of uranium mining dating to 1911, finishing in the early 1980s. A large number of abandoned mine workings occur across the Company’s leases, ranging in size from prospector’s pits to the significant Ringtail underground mine.

Uranium mineralization in the Thompson deposits occurs in the Jurassic Morrison Formation, in four sandstone lenses and in conglomeratic sandstone, as the mineral carnotite (a vanadium-uranium mineral). The uranium deposits within the Thompson Project correspond to palaeochannels within the Salt Wash and overlying Brushy Basin Members of the Jurassic aged Morrison Formation.
