Mr. Bernard Tourillon, UBR's Chairman and CEO, commented after the meeting:
Twelve months ago UBR made a strategic decision to become one of the leaders of the Uranium exploration revival in the James Bay region, Province of Quebec, one of the best jurisdictions in the world for natural resource exploration.
UBR chose to focus its uranium exploration efforts in the James Bay area on the understanding that the geological potential of the region was favorable to finding bulk-type uranium mineralization similar to that which is found in Namibia at Rossing.
The powerful trends that helped fuel U308 spot prices to new heights last year have not fundamentally changed and a second wave of interest in Uranium exploration is coming and it is this second wave that will bring about a renewed interest from the investment community for uranium exploration projects.
Only companies that have strong technical teams, advanced exploration projects and a clear path to the establishment of a significant resource potential will attract the required visibility from the investment community to unlock and generate investor value.
These premises are the foundation of UBR's business plan. UBR is implementing an aggressive exploration strategy of the Uskawanis Uranium Project, to develop the first Rossing style uranium mineralization ever identified outside of Namibia.
To date, our methodical and scientific approach to Uranium exploration in the James Bay region has clearly demonstrated the widespread nature of the uranium mineralization at Uskawanis (as expected from the Rossing model for uranium genesis) and it has confirmed the presence of a substantial number of good size uranium targets (again expected with the Rossing model).
Our goal, moving forward will be to unlock the potential for significant mineralization of the Uskawanis Uranium Property. In order to enable Uranium Bay to reach its stated goal of delineating a large scale Uranium deposit UBR will be shortly commencing the summer drilling program. This positions the Corporation to generate the maximum benefit from the second coming of the Uranium boom.
