PROPERTIES OVERVIEW
Lisbon Valley Project: URANIUM
- Located in the Lisbon Valley Mining District, also known as the Big Indian Mining District, approximately 35 miles south of the town of Moab in San Juan County, Utah
- The Lisbon Valley Project is wholly owned by Mesa Uranium and covers 28 square miles of land prospective for the discovery of uranium deposits
- The Lisbon Valley District produced over 85 million pounds of U3O8, at some of the highest uranium grades in the United States, averaging 0.4% U3O8
- An aggressive drilling program is underway. To date, the drilling program consists of 7 holes drilled southeast of the Lisbon Mine. Three higher-grade intercepts resulted in an overall mineralized interval of 17.5 feet grading 0.11% U3O8 (2.2 pounds/ton).
Moonshine Springs Project: URANIUM
- Located 30 miles east of Hurricane, Utah in Mohave County, Arizona
- Wholly owned by Mesa Uranium consisting of 3,050 acres (4.8 square miles)
- Exxon Coal and Minerals was a previous owner of the property and conducted uranium exploration drilling in 1979. Mesa possesses data on four widely spaced drill holes completed by Exxon, the best intercept being six feet grading 0.4% U3O8 (8 pounds per ton)
- A uranium deposit owned by Dennison Mines Corp. is located within 1 mile of the project. The deposit contains 2.5 million pounds of U3O8 and is hosted in the Chinle sandstone
Arizona Strip Becca Pipes: URANIUM
- Located in Mohave and Coconino counties, Arizona and consists of several targets distributed over 11 square miles
- The area, known as the Arizona Strip, had historic uranium production of over 20 million pounds at an average grade of 0.65% U3O8 (13 pounds per ton)
- Current exploration efforts by Mesa geologists consist of mapping, geochemical sampling and aerial photographic interpretation designed to identify drilling targets
