The Bobcat Project is located 25 miles south of Casper, Wyoming, within the Shirley Basin, a historically prolific uranium district. The project covers over 1,600 acres of mineral rights and hosts a historic resource of 474,309 pounds of uranium. The Shirley Basin was home to the first commercial in situ recovery (ISR) project in the United States in 1964 and produced over 84 million pounds of uranium between 1959 and 1992. Today, ISR is the primary extraction method for uranium in Wyoming. The Bobcat Project covers a mineralized roll front and remains open for expansion.
The Bobcat Project hosts uranium mineralization in roll-front deposits within sandstone formations typical of the Shirley Basin. These deposits are historically amenable to ISR extraction, consistent with regional uranium mining practices.
The project was originally explored by Western Resources and joint venture partners in the 1970s and early 1980s. The Shirley Basin district has bene a focus of uranium production and exploration since the 1950s, with conventional and ISR mining producing over 84 million pounds of uranium. The Bobcat Project was one of the last uranium projects retained by the original explorers during periods of low uranium prices.
The Bobcat Project covers a mineralized roll front and is open to expansion, with potential for additional uranium discovery along the identified trends.
