3. PROJECT DESCRIPTION <br /> 1. Mineral(s)and/or Resources being Investigated: Uranium and Vanadium <br /> 2. Estimated Dates of commencement and completion: <br /> Commencement:January 1,2024(as weather and permitting allows) <br /> Completion: March 31,2024(to avoid migratory bird season April 1 —August 15) <br /> 3. Amount of material(specify units)to be extracted,moved,or proposed to be moved: <br /> N/A Units <br /> 4. Identify the type of method of prospecting proposed and quantity: <br /> Cuts Pits Trenches <br /> Shafts Tunnels Adits <br /> Declines Air Drilling X Fluid Drilling <br /> Drilling and Blasting <br /> 5. Describe proposed surface excavation or other land disturbance,including roads,pits,trenches, <br /> waste piles,drill pads and collar areas of underground workings,ponds,etc. <br /> In-field exploratory drilling program to collect geologic information related to uranium <br /> mineralization in multiple roll front style deposits throughout the area.Activities include minor <br /> repairs to the access roads, preparation of drilling locations, drilling with mud rotary drilling <br /> equipment,data collection, and reclamation of the drill sites.From the existing two-track roads, <br /> drill sites will be accessed by selecting dispersed single use cross country access routes. The <br /> routes will be selected to avoid drainage bottoms,heavily vegetated areas,wetlands,and areas of <br /> soft ground. Multiple passes of drilling and support equipment will be avoided to prevent rutting <br /> or formation of new off-road trails. This approach is proposed to minimize ground disturbing <br /> activities typically associated with access road construction.The proposed drill pads will be equal <br /> to or less than 25'x40',small sites,requiring no more than 1,000 square feet per pad. The topsoil <br /> will be stripped and stockpiled within the drill pad footprint. Drill sumps,also described as mud <br /> pits,will be used as the holes are expected to be wet. The mud pit and associated spoils will be <br /> contained within the drill pad area footprint.Additional areas within the drill pad will be used for <br /> the drill hole collar and allow for a work area that is adequate to capture and contain any spilled <br /> drilling fluids. Drilling fluids will consist of water supplied from a water truck as well as <br /> Bentonite based drilling mud additives. 27 possible drill hole locations are shown on figure 2. <br /> Only 20 of the holes will be drilled. <br /> 6.
