Comments on the site identification

  • Strathmore Minerals has the Gas Hills Project (may contain Red Creek, Bullrush, Loco-Lee, Suns, Jeep, George-Ver, Frazier LeMac, Amazon, Beaver Rim, Day Loma, Andria, New Rock Hills). No 43-101 yet filed, so location and description of property is vague. Only information about this Project is from Strathmore website and press releases (from Strathmore's website).
  • Cameco has the Gas Hills-Peach Project. Location is very vague. Likely that this property/project is in the same area as the former Peach Mine (see MINOBRAS, p. 32, 33, #4).
