Uranerz Energy Corp.: Mongolian Field Season Commenced
Apr 27, 2006 12:53:00 PM
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(CCNMatthews - April 27, 2006) - Uranerz Energy Corp. (OTCBB:URNZ)(FWB:U9E) is pleased to announce that it has been notified by its joint venture partner, Bluerock Resources Ltd. that the Mongolian joint venture field season has commenced. The Mongolian joint venture projects consist of eight properties subdivided into four regional groups. The exploration targets range from an advanced-stage deposit with a historical resource of 5.2 million pounds U3O8, to exploration targets in highly prospective Cretaceous and Neocene basins.
Uranerz has been informed that:
- At the newly opened Exploration Office in Ulaanbataar, the Bluerock employees and contactors are assembling trenching and drill equipment for a comprehensive summer program;
- An initial field visit in early April confirmed the potential of the Khavtsal Project where work will target the delivery of a N.I. 43-101-compliant resource; and
- Work continues on the other seven exploration properties which are targeted for focused geophysical and scout drilling programs.
Under the terms of the agreement, which is subject to regulatory approval, Bluerock is to issue 150,000 Bluerock Resources Ltd. shares to Uranerz and make cash payments of US $205,000 over the four-year earn-in period. Bluerock has the option to earn a 55% interest in these projects by spending US $3,000,000 on the properties over four years. The work program during this period will be managed by Bluerock. Uranerz retains the right to earn back 6% of the joint venture by spending US $300,000, at which time a Joint Venture would be formed with Uranerz holding 51% and Bluerock holding 49%. Uranerz Energy Corporation looks forward to an aggressive exploration season carried out by Bluerock.
The joint venturing of the exploration of these Mongolian projects will allow Uranerz to focus on its more advanced Wyoming projects, many of which have known uranium resources and have the potential of being mined by the low cost in-situ leach mining method. Uranerz has initiated environmental licensing and mine planning for the development of two of its Wyoming projects, with the possibility of adding a third property in the near future.
Uranerz Energy Corporation is a natural resource company engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of properties in the uranium sector. The Company's goal and business plan is to produce uranium. The Company has an experienced team of mining executives, many of whom are former senior management and employees of the original Uranerz Exploration and Mining group of companies. This team has direct experience in licensing, designing, constructing and operating several separate in-situ leach uranium mines. The Company also has an Advisory Board that consists entirely of ex-Uranerz Exploration and Mining professionals. Uranerz Exploration and Mining was acquired by Cameco, the world's largest primary uranium producer, in 1998.
