Night Owl
Strathmore Plus acquired Night Owl, a former producing uranium mine in the Shirley Basin uranium district of Wyoming. Night Owl was formerly mined by Night Owl Properties & Battle Axe Mining Co.
A former producing uranium mine in the Shirley Basin uranium district of Wyoming.
Night Owl was formerly mined by Night Owl Properties & Battle Axe Mining Co. producing 93 tons at a grade of 0.24% U3O8, which was mined at the surface with just a backhoe in the late 1950s to early 1960s.
Although the Company identified surface uranium, there was no abundant mineralization in the down hole drilling. We obtained much better knowledge of the depth, thickness and extent of the Madison Limestone host rock and acquired surface mineral samples that will be used for radiometric equilibrium analyses and amenability research.
This year’s investigation also determined the presence and depth of the groundwater in the area. The program identified an area of oxidation that may prove to be where the mineralizing solutions moved. We will continue with geoscience work with Raymond Ashley and Sam Hartmann, our technical advisors, to determine exactly where the fluids ended up and where there may be significant mineralization for our next exploration drilling targets.
