The company’s Wyoming operation includes more than 23,000 acres of uranium-prospective land, consisting of mining claims and state leases, and historic drilling databases with over 27,000 feet of new drilling and 2 million feet of historic drilling. In this new role, Mr. Talbott will develop projects, evaluate resource acquisitions, and direct joint venture opportunities with other uranium-related companies.
