Section 8 Other Events
|
|
| Item 8.01 |
|
| Uranerz Energy Corporation reports that it has been informed by its joint venture partner, Bluerock Resources Ltd. ("Bluerock"), that they have started drilling on the Ulaan Nuur uranium projects in Mongolia. The drilling program is focused on three separate licenses located south of Ulaanbaatar in the Ulaan Nuur Depression. Based on Phase I geological data and discussions with on site geologists, Bluerock has increased the planned metres of drilling from 3,000 metres to 4,000 metres. |
|
| Khavtsal: |
|
| Drilling on the Khavtsal License is to focus on expanding the known uranium mineralization to the north and south of the historic Khavtsal mineralization. Geophysical surveys, completed in the first phase of the 2007 program, defined deeper basinal targets and interpreted fault structures that present newly defined targets for this expansion drilling. |
|
| Tolgod: |
|
| Drilling on the Tolgod License will focus on untested basinal targets associated with radiometric anomalies in both geophysical surveys and ground water studies. |
|
| Khudgiin Us: |
|
| Drilling on the Khudgiin Us License is designed to locate the northern extension of known uranium mineralization in the Ulaan Nuur historic uranium anomaly. Results of 2007 geophysical surveys completed by Bluerock have been incorporated into the drill planning for the project to ensure full coverage of the basinal targets. |
|
| Following the completion of the Khudgiin Us program the drill rigs and camp will be moved to Uranerz Energy's Central Gobi uranium projects and the continuation of Bluerock's 2007 Mongolian JV uranium exploration program. |
|
| Bluerock Resources Ltd. is Uranerz Energy Corporation's joint venture partner for the eight Mongolian exploration licenses. Under the terms of the amended agreement, Bluerock has the option to acquire an undivided 70% interest in the properties, but Uranerz Energy has retained the right to acquire back a 21% interest in the joint venture, exercisable within 120 days following receipt by the parties of a feasibility study on the Mongolian properties. |

|
| Samples from the 2007 Mongolian drilling programs will be prepared and analysed by Activation Laboratories, (Actlabs) of Ancaster Ontario, at their lab in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Rock preparation will consist of crushing and pulverising to 85% passing 75 micron mesh. Uranium results will be analysed by XRF. All samples of interest, plus 10% of the remainder are planned to be shipped to Canada by Actlabs, for ICP-MS verification at their Ancaster facility. |
