Engineering Comments

General

1. We note your response to our previous comment 2 but do not concur. Industry Guide 7 provide s clear guidance in regards to exploration stage and development stage projects . It is our understanding that Canadian NI 43 -101 does as well. Additionally , we note in your response that you consider your project “unique” and indicate you are unable to establish a reserve, even though you presently claim an indicated resource. All or a portion of a n indicated resource may be used to determine a probable reserve with an appropriate feasibility study , therefore we do not agree w ith your assessment . Please revise you filing , referring to your projects as exploration stage projects, until you have a proven or probable reserve.

2. In reference to your response to our previous comment number 3, our understanding of Canadian NI 43 -101 is that a potential mineral deposit that is to be the target of further exploration may be disclosed as a range of potential quantity and grade. However, your disclosure includes a range of contained pounds of U 3O8, rath er than a range of quantity and grade. Please advise or revise. Additionally, please ensure all estimates in your filing are disclosed as quantity and grade , versus solely contained pounds of U3O8.

3. We note in re sponse to our previous comment 5 you state that your resource is based on drill holes spaced closely enough for geological and grade continuity . However in your response to our previous comment number 2 , you reference your 2008 Lyntek technical repor t and state your resource is considered to be too speculative geologically to have economic consideration. These two statements appear to be conflicting statements. Please advise or revise. In addition, p lease tell us if you have an indicated resource a s defined by the CIM definition.

4. We note your response to our previous comment 6 in regards to the reasonable prospect of economic extraction. In addition, we note you used a base case price of $80 per pound U 3O8 in your Lost Creek preliminary assessment. While we believe that the use of the three -year average price is more appropriate for the estimation of reserves and resources in order to determine the reasonable prospect for economic ext raction, please tell us the basis for the prices you used to determine your resources.

5. In an appropriate location of your filing, please include a discussion in regards to the current price of U 3O8.
