Strathmore Minerals Corp.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

September 30, 2008

(Unaudited - prepared by management)



1.

Nature and continuance of operations


Strathmore Minerals Corp. (the “Company”) is organized under the laws of the Province of British Columbia and is engaged in the acquisition, exploration, and development of uranium mineral properties.


The Company is in the process of exploring its mineral property interests and has not yet determined whether these properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable.  The recoverability of the amounts shown for mineral property interests, including related deferred exploration costs, is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete their development and upon future profitable production.


These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates that the company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations.  The Company has no significant source of revenue, and has significant cash requirements to meet its administrative overhead and maintain it mineral property interests. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to secure equity, debt, or joint venture  financing and attain profitable operations.  These statements do not include any adjustments to assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.



2.

Basis of presentation


The interim period consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles on a basis consistent with those disclosed in the most recent audited annual financial statements.  Certain of the comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the presentation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008.  The preparation of financial data is based on accounting principles and practices consistent with those used in the preparation of annual consolidated financial statements.  Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles has been condensed or omitted.  These interim period statements should be read together with the audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in the Company’s latest annual filing.  In the opinion of the Company, its unaudited interim consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary in order to present a fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented.


(a)

Change in accounting policy


Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the following new standards issued by the Canadian Institute of Charted Accountants (“CICA”).  These accounting policies were adopted on a prospective basis without restatement of prior period financial statements.  The new standards and accounting policy changes are as follows:


(i)

CICA Section 1400, Assessing Going Concern


This Section was amended to include requirements for management to assess and disclose an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. (Note 1)  









Strathmore Minerals Corp.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

September 30, 2008

(Unaudited - prepared by management)


2.

Basis of presentation (continued)


(a)

Change in accounting policy (continued)


(ii)

CICA Section 1535, Capital Disclosures


This Section establishes standards for disclosing information about an entity’s capital and how it is managed.  This standard requires the Company to disclose, based on the information provided internally to the entity’s key management personnel, (1) qualitative information regarding the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for managing capital; (2) quantitative data about what the Company manages as capital; (3) whether the Company has complied with any externally imposed capital requirements; and (4) if it has not complied, the consequences of such non-compliance (Note 11).


(iii)

CICA Section 3862, Financial Instruments – Disclosures and CICA Section 3863, Financial Instruments – Presentation


These sections replace CICA Handbook Section 3861, Financial Instruments – Disclosure and Presentation.  These new sections incorporate many of the disclosure requirements of Section 3861, but place increased emphasis on disclosure about the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments and how the Company manages those risks (Note 12).

 

(b)

Recent accounting pronouncement


International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)


In 2006, the Canadian Accounting Standards Board (“AcSB”) published a new strategic plan that will significantly affect financial reporting requirements for Canadian companies.  The AcSB strategic plan outlines the convergence of Canadian GAAP with IFRS over an expected five year transitional period.  In February 2008 the AcSB announced that 2011 is the changeover date for publicly-listed companies to use IFRS, replacing Canada’s own GAAP.  The date is for interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011.  The transition date of January 1, 2011 will require the restatement for comparative purposes of amounts reported by the Company for the year ended December 31, 2010.  While the Company has begun assessing the adoption of IFRS for 2011, the financial reporting impact of the transition to IFRS cannot be reasonably estimated at th is time.

These available-for-sale-securities have not been registered with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and may not be offered for sale as at September 30, 2008.  As at September 30, 2008, the Company has recorded an other than temporary impairment of $6,750,700 and $4,456,830 on its investments in Yellowcake and American Uranium (the “issuers”), respectively.  The Company has determined that an other than temporary impairment arose during the three month period ended September 30, 2008 due to: (a) the issuers being unable to timely file an effective registration statement to allow the Company to sell the securities without restrictions; (b) the issuers paying contractual penalties to the issuers’ shareholders for failing to register securities within the allotted time period of six months, and (c) the quoted market price of the issuers’ securities declining since receipt of the securities in 2007.  


Subsequent to the quarter end, the quoted market price of these securities continued to decline.  In the future, further impairment charges may be necessary.

Mineral property interests (continued)


Title to mineral property interests involves certain inherent risks due to the difficulties of determining the validity of certain claims as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyancing history characteristic of many mineral property interests.  The Company has investigated title to all of its mineral property interests and, to the best of its knowledge, title to all of its properties are in good standing using accepted industry standards


(a)

New Mexico properties, USA


(i)

Roca Honda Property


On July 26, 2007, the Company completed an agreement with Sumitomo Corp. (“Sumitomo”) of Japan to develop the Roca Honda uranium project located in New Mexico. The Company has transferred its entire interest in the Roca Honda Property to Roca Honda Resources, LLC, a subsidiary in which the Company owns 60% and Sumitomo owns 40%.  The Company and Sumitomo are committed to fund a US$27,215,000 feasibility study, in proportion to their respective ownership interests by the end of fiscal 2011.  Following completion of the feasibility study, should a positive decision be made to proceed, Sumitomo will contribute a pre-determined cash contribution for development of the Roca Honda mine.  During fiscal 2007, the Company received US$1,000,000 from Sumitomo towards completing the agreement.


The Company had acquired its original 100% interest in the Roca Honda claims during prior years by paying $227,970 and issuing 200,000 common shares of the Company valued at $271,000.


The Company has consolidated Roca Honda Resources, LLC into its operations and recorded a non-controlling interest of $3,481,016 to reflect Sumitomo’s 40% interest.


(ii)

Nose Rock/Crown Point Property


The Company acquired a 100% interest in Nose Rock/Crown Point claims located in New Mexico, USA by paying $206,991 and issuing 300,000 common shares valued at $702,000.


On September 14, 2007 the Company granted Uranium International Corp. (formerly Nu-Mex Uranium Resources Inc.) (“UIC”) an option to acquire up to a 65% interest in the Company’s Nose Rock property by paying the Company US$250,000 and issuing 5,000,000 common shares.  A nominal value has been attributed to these shares.  To earn its 65% interest, UIC is required to incur a total of US$44,500,000 in exploration expenditures in stages over seven years.  The Company retains the right to earn back a 16% interest in the project in consideration for US$25,000,000.

(iv)

Marquez Property


On September 5, 2007, the Company entered into a mineral lease agreement on the Marquez property located in New Mexico, for a period of ten years, with the option to extend the lease for an additional five years.  The Company has paid US$750,000 ($805,700) and is required to make annual payments of US$250,000 during the initial ten year term.  To extend the lease for an additional five years, the Company is required to pay US$750,000 and make annual payments of US$300,000 thereafter.  To extend the lease beyond fifteen years, the Company is required to pay an additional US$750,000.


The property is subject to an 8% net proceeds production royalty. Should commercial production not commence by September, 2015, the Company will be required to pay additional annual minimum advance royalty payments of US$250,000 which may be recovered from future production royalties.


(v)

Church Rock Property


The Company had acquired its original 100% interest in the Church Rock property during prior years by paying $153,655 and issuing 100,000 common shares valued at $135,500.


On May 31, 2007, the Company entered into an option agreement to acquire certain water rights in the McKinley county area of New Mexico.  The purchase price was US$4,000 per acre-foot per year of consumptive use and is payable as follows: an initial US$100,000 deposit and 50% of US$4,000 multiplied by the amount of water right authorized by the State Engineer.  The remainder is to be paid at closing.  The final amount to be paid will be determined in accordance with the agreement which includes a 5% escalator fee per year after the second year in which the petition to the State Engineer is being reviewed.

To earn its interest, Yellowcake is committed to additional payments of US$400,000 over four years and will fund US$8,000,000 over five years toward the property’s exploration. Yellowcake will earn a 40% interest upon incurring US$4,000,000  in expenditures and will be required to pay a royalty payment to the Company of 3% of the optioned portion of all future production. Pursuant to the agreement, Yellowcake had the option to enter into an equal partnership with the C ompany over any mining leases acquired from certain databases.


On April 21, 2008 the Company terminated its database project agreement with Yellowcake. In addition, the Company and Yellowcake have agreed to amend certain terms regarding Yellowcake’s commitment to fund US$8,000,000 of exploration on the Juniper Ridge property as follows:

11.

Capital management


The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue the development and exploration of its mineral properties and to maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the costs of capital at an acceptable risk.


The Company depends on external financing to funds its activities.  The capital structure of the Company currently consists of common shares, stock options and share purchase warrants.  Changes in the equity accounts of the Company are disclosed in the statements of shareholder equity.  The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets.  To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares, acquire or dispose of assets or adjust the amount of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments.


In order to facilitate the management of its capital requirements, the Company prepares annual expenditure budgets, which are approved by the Board of Directors and updated as necessary depending on various factors, including capital deployment and general industry conditions.  


The Company anticipates continuing to access equity markets to fund continued exploration of its mineral properties and the future growth of the business.



12.

Financial instruments and risk management


The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and equivalents, short-term investments, receivables, investments, accounts payable and accrued liabilities.  For cash and current receivables and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, carrying value is considered to be a reasonable approximation of fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.  The fair value of other financial assets represents the market value of quoted investments.


Cash and short-term investments are designated as held for trading and therefore carried at fair value, with the unrealized gain or loss recorded on the statement of operations. Investments are designated as available-for-sale and carried at fair value, with the unrealized gain or loss recorded in shareholders’ equity as a component of other comprehensive income.  These amounts will be reclassified from shareholders’ equity to net loss when they are sold or when an other than temporary impairment is recognized.  


The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to a number of financial and market risks, including credit, liquidity, foreign exchange, interest rate and price risks.  The Company may, or may not, establish from time to time active policies to manage these risks.  The Company does not currently have in place any active hedging or derivative trading policies to manage these risks since the Company’s management does not believe that the current size, scale and pattern of its operations would warrant such hedging activities.


(a)

Credit risk


Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty to a financial instrument will not discharge its obligations, resulting in a financial loss to the Company.  The Company has procedures in place to minimize its exposure to credit risk.  Company management evaluate credit risk on an ongoing basis, including evaluation of counterparty credit rating, monitoring activities related to trade and other receivables and counterparty concentrations measured by amount and percentage.

Financial instruments and risk management (continued)


(a)

Credit risk (continued)


The primary sources of credit risk for the Company arise from the following financial assets: (1) cash and cash equivalents; (2) short-term investments; and (3) amounts receivable.  The Company has not had any credit losses in the past, nor does it expect to have any credit losses in the future.  At September 30, 2008, the Company has no financial assets that are past due or impaired due to credit risk defaults.  


The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is as follows:

17,156,763


(b)

Liquidity risk


Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations with respect to financial liabilities as they fall due.  The Company’s financial liabilities are comprised of accounts payable and accrued liabilities.  The Company frequently assesses its liquidity position by reviewing the timing of amounts due and the Company’s current cash flow position to meet its obligations.  The Company manages its liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash and cash equivalents and short-term investment balances to meet its anticipated operational needs.  


(b)

Liquidity risk (continued)


The Company’s financial liabilities, consisting of accounts payable and accrued liabilities, arose as a result of exploration of its mineral property interests and other corporate expenses.  Payment terms on these liabilities are typically 30 to 60 days from receipt of invoice and do not generally bear interest.  The following table summarizes the remaining contractual maturities of the Company’s financial liabilities:

Financial instruments and risk management (continued)


(c)

Market risk


Market risk is the risk that the fair value for assets classified as held-for-trading and available-for-sale or future cash flows for assets or liabilities considered to be held-to maturity, other financial liabilities, and loans or receivables of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market conditions.  The Company evaluates market risk on an ongoing basis and has established policies and procedures for mitigating its exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations.  The Company is not exposed to interest rate risk, as it does not hold debt balances and is not charged interest on its accounts payable balances.  


 (d)

Foreign exchange risk


The Company operates on an international basis and therefore, foreign exchange risk exposures arise from transactions denominated in foreign currencies.  Although the functional currency of the Company is Canadian dollars, the Company also conducts business in United States dollars.  The Company does not use any derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.


Exchange rate fluctuations may affect the costs that the Company incurs in its operations, as the Company’s costs are incurred primarily in US dollars.  The depreciation of the US dollar against the Canadian dollar can increase the costs of operations and capital expenditures in US dollar terms.  The Company maintains its cash balances primarily in Canadian dollars and exchanges currency to meet its obligations on an as needed basis, thereby reducing the exchange risk on cash balances.


(d)

Foreign exchange risk (continued)


The Company is exposed to currency risk through the following Canadian dollar equivalent of financial assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than Canadian dollars:

Based on the above net exposures at September 30, 2008, a 10% depreciation or appreciation in the US dollar against the Canadian dollar would result in a $18,020 increase or decrease in the Company’s net loss.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

STRATHMORE MINERALS CORP.

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 2008



Strathmore Minerals Corp. (the “Company”) is a junior resource issuer primarily engaged in the acquisition, exploration, and development of uranium resource properties in the United States. Management believes that the development of uranium properties presents an opportunity to increase shareholder value for the following reasons:


Increased worldwide energy demand

Increased demand for uranium.

Long-term uranium demand/supply imbalance, resulting in a potential for significantly higher uranium prices

Potential for long-term increased demand from developing countries as they construct new nuclear power plants

The Company’s uranium projects are located in the United States where the domestic annual demand for uranium exceeds 50 million pounds, while production totals approximately 4-5 million pounds per year. The United States currently imports most of its domestic uranium requirements to meet the shortfall in supply.


This increased demand and higher prices has stimulated new exploration and development of both new and previously explored uranium properties. The Company believes it is uniquely positioned in the United States to capture substantial value due to its significant and high quality resource holdings and its highly experienced management team and staff.


This discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes of the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 (the "Financial Statements"). The information in this Management Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) contains forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those included in the forward-looking statements. The information contained in this report is made as of November 19, 2008.


Additional information related to the Company is available for view on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, on EDGAR at www.sec.gov, on the Company’s website at www.strathmoreminerals.com, or by requesting further information from the Company’s head office located in Kelowna, BC, Canada.


Plan of Arrangement with Fission Energy Corp.

During the first quarter 2007, Strathmore announced its intention to enhance shareholder value by spinning off its Canadian and Peruvian exploration properties, in addition to $500,000 cash into a separate publicly traded company. At the Company’s Annual General and Special Shareholder’s meeting held in Vancouver on June 19, 2007, shareholders unanimously approved

#



Plan of Arrangement with Fission Energy Corp. (cont’d…)


the spin-off and Fission Energy Corp. (“Fission”) was created to hold the spin-out assets. The Plan of Arrangement (the “Plan”) with Fission received British Columbia Supreme Court approval on June 22nd, and TSX Exchange and other regulatory approvals were received shortly thereafter.


Under the Plan, Strathmore shareholders received one new share of Strathmore Minerals Corp. and .333 shares of Fission Energy Corp. for each previously held share of Strathmore. During the quarter the Company announced the fair market value of distributed shares of Fission on July 17, 2007, the effective date of the Plan, to be 26.51% of the value of the previously held share of Strathmore. Shareholders are reminded that this determination of Fair Market Value is not binding on the Canada Revenue Agency or the US Internal Revenue Service. The above information is not intended to be, nor should it be considered to be legal or tax advice to any particular Shareholder, Option holder, or Warrant holder. Shareholders should consult with their tax advisors and review the Management Information Circular dated May 8, 2007.


Fission began trading as a new public company on July 25 on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol FIS.V, Strathmore Minerals Corp. continues to trade on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol STM.V. Upon completion of the Plan, all of Strathmore’s uranium exploration and development properties are now located in the United States.



Performance Summary and Update


Strathmore’s goal is to become a leading uranium producer in the United States. The Company finances its exploration and development through equity financing, by way of joint venture, option agreements or other means. The Company's properties are located primarily in the two largest historical uranium producing districts in the United States: Grants, New Mexico and the Gas Hills, Wyoming. The Roca Honda property in New Mexico and the Gas Hills properties in Wyoming are the Company’s most advanced uranium development projects.


During 2006, the uranium spot price began the year at US $37.50 /lb. and reached a new all-time high of US $72 /lb. by the end of the year. Development problems at Cameco Corp’s Cigar Lake uranium deposit in Canada, during the second half of 2006 removed approximately 18-20 million pounds of expected production from the global market place, causing the uranium price to surge to the upside. During the second half of 2007, the spot price of uranium continued its uptrend to approximately US $138 /lb, before declining to the mid US $40 /lb range, rebounding slightly to approximately US $53 /lb in November 2008.  The long-term contract price is presently in the low US $70/lb range


In 2008, the Company continued to execute its strategy of advancing its core Wyoming and New Mexico properties towards production. However, the quarter ending September 30th 2008 was

#



Performance Summary and Update (cont’d…)



impacted by unprecedented stock market volatility, a decline in the spot price for uranium to the US mid$40 /lb range, and tight credit markets. Management has little visibility going forward with respect to the capital markets as, which the Company may rely upon, in addition to possible partners, to fund its full program to achieve production on its uranium projects. As a result, the Company has implemented a set of cost cutting measures to preserve working capital. All programs are under review and discretionary expenditures are being cut or significantly reduced. Secondary projects will be deferred. Continued priority will focus on the primary Gas Hills and Roca Honda projects.


A table highlighting uranium projects with NI 43-101 and historical resource summaries is found in the section titled Uranium Resources Summary by Properties.



Wyoming Properties


Gas Hills Properties


The State of Wyoming historically has continuously produced uranium since the 1950’s. Historically, the Gas Hills Uranium District is the second largest uranium producing region in the United States, having produced over 100 million pounds of U3O8 until operations ceased in the 1990’s due to declining uranium prices. Management believes that sufficient uranium resources exist on its Gas Hills properties to warrant future development.


During 2007, Strathmore announced that it had increased its land holdings in the Gas Hills to in excess of 33,000 acres (12,950 ha). The Company is now the largest land holder of uranium properties in the Gas Hills, which includes a 100% interest in six near-surface open pit deposits with historical resources. As a result, the Gas Hills now makes up the Company’s core uranium land holdings in Wyoming,. The deposits include George-Ver, Loco-Lee, Bull-Rush, Frazier LeMac, Andria, East Day Loma, and New Rock Hill (See below: Uranium Resources Summary by Property for additional detail). Permitting has been underway since late 2006, beginning with the George-Ver Property. Future production is based on the assumption that a custom milling agreement can be obtained at the nearby Sweetwater Mill, which is owned by a global mining company. This mill is not presently in operation.  In January 2008, the Company acquired an option agreement to purchase an existing NRC license and additional private mineral rights containing known uranium mineralization in the Gas Hills Uranium District. The NRC (Nuclear Regulatory Commission) license covers a historic mill site. It will be evaluated to determine if it can be used for a new mill or ore heap and/or vat leach facility in the Gas Hills. The private mineral rights are adjacent to existing Strathmore land holdings in the Gas Hills District and would be incorporated into new and expanded mining and milling scenario. During the quarter the Company began evaluating this potential mill location, as a possible alternative milling site, should a custom milling agreement with the Sweetwater Mill be unobtainable. Strathmore shall

have one year to evaluate the acquisition of the NRC License and uranium properties and any obligations associated with the option agreement.


On April 17, 2008, the Company announced it had staked additional lands in the Gas Hills known as the Amazon and Sunset deposits. Historical resources total 2.1 million lbs U3O8. These newly acquired properties complement Strathmore's existing Gas Hills deposits.    


The Company expects to continue its main focus on evaluating and permitting its Gas Hills properties during 2008, with the intent of submitting a mine permit application by the first half of 2009. First production in the Gas Hills is subject to receiving approval of the mine permit from government regulatory authorities, in addition to thoroughly evaluating the two milling options previously outlined.


Sky Property


The Sky Property consists of 50 unpatented mining claims totaling 1,033 acres (418 hectares) located in the Gas Hills Uranium District. Sky is Strathmore’s first project in Wyoming to begin data collection activities for permitting purposes. In August 2007, Strathmore and Yellowcake Mining Inc. completed a formal Joint Venture Agreement on the property to finance the development of the property.


During the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company began the installation of groundwater monitor wells. However, rig difficulties were encountered and the drilling was terminated. Future development plans have been deferred.


During the six months ending June 30, 2008, both Strathmore and Yellowcake mutually terminated the agreement to jointly develop the Sky property.



Jeep Property


The Jeep Property comprises 152 claims totaling 1,270 hectares (3,140 acres). In July 2007, the Company completed a NI-43-101 technical report in and a first phase 4000m exploration drill program. In August 2007, a formal Joint Venture agreement with a revised expenditure schedule was signed with Yellowcake Mining Inc. During the six months ending June 30, 2008, Strathmore terminated its agreement with Yellowcake Mining Inc. on the Jeep Property.

Wyoming Properties (cont’d…)


Pine Tree-Reno Creek Property


The project consists of approximately 16,000 acres (6,475 hectares) located in the central Powder River Basin in Campbell County, Wyoming. In September 2007, the Company completed a formal Joint Venture Agreement with American Uranium Corporation (“AUC”) over several nearby properties (Pine Tree, Four Mile Creek, West Reno, State and Private leases). In January, 2008, Strathmore and American Uranium announced an amendment to this agreement. American Uranium agreed to increase its exploration and development expenditures from US $5 million to US $ 12.375 million to earn an initial 22.5% interest in the project. With this amendment, Strathmore has agreed to rescind its 11% buyback provision under the terms specified by the original agreement. All other terms as per the original agreement remain unchanged, including total expenditures of US $33 million required to be spent by American Uranium to earn a 60% interest. In addition, the Company completed and SEDAR filed a NI 43-101 technical report for the West Reno Creek Property. During the quarter ending June 30, 2008, a SEDAR filed NI 43-101 report was filed for the Southwest Reno Creek Property. The West Reno Creek property comprises about 15% of the total size of the project, while the Southwest Reno Creek totals approximately 17% of the entire Pine Tree Reno Creek project.


Juniper Ridge Project


The Juniper Ridge Property is located in the Poison Basin Uranium District of south-central Wyoming. The Company added 73 lode mining claims to the project during the summer of 2008, bringing the total number of claims to 201, in addition to one State of Wyoming Mineral Lease.  The project now totals 4,793 acres (1,940 Hectares).  


During the third quarter of 2008, the Company reviewed new data, which allowed for an updated historical resource estimate at its Juniper Ridge Project. The historical Measured & Indicated resource totals 5,971,000 tons grading 0.063% U3O8 for 7,539,000 pounds. This Measured & Indicated resource is not NI 43-101 compliant.


Permitting activities on the property are ongoing. The Joint Venture recently received permits to begin the installation of six wells to monitor groundwater.  Upon completion, pump tests will be performed to determine the hydrologic characteristics and samples will be obtained to determine baseline water quality.   In addition, plans for extensive exploration drilling to increase the extent of the known mineralization are under preparation.


During the quarter ended June 30, 2008, Strathmore amended its agreement with Yellowcake Mining Inc. on the Juniper Ridge property. The amended terms are:

South Dakota Property


Chord, South Dakota Project


The Company acquired a 100% interest in a uranium property located in South Dakota, USA, by paying $59,640.  During fiscal 2003, the Company amended the terms of the lease agreement for consideration of 100,000 shares of the Company valued at $56,000 and incurred additional fees of $6,468.  The property lease was subject to a 2% gross production royalty.


On July 7, 2008, the original lease terms expired and the Company acquired a 100% interest in Chord project, free of royalties, for cash consideration of US$998,000.


After the Company acquired the Chord project, it entered into a Letter of Intent with Great Bear Uranium Corp. (“Great Bear”).  This enables Great Bear the option to acquire a 100% interest in the Chord Uranium Property located in South Dakota, USA.  In order to earn a 100% interest, Great Bear will be required to make total cash payments of $4,100,000 to the Company in accordance with the following schedule:

Roca Honda Project (cont’d…)


Upon completion of the feasibility study, the parties will make a final investment decision regarding their participation in the development of the project. If Sumitomo elects to participate in the development, it will make a pre-determined additional lump sum contribution to Strathmore. Following a positive investment decision by both parties, Strathmore and Sumitomo will together pursue the development and mining of uranium at the Roca Honda project;

Strathmore and Sumitomo will enter into a Sales and Marketing Agreement whereby Sumitomo will market uranium produced from the project; and Sumitomo will have the right to enter into new projects that Strathmore undertakes as a joint venture partner in New Mexico.


The Company continues permitting activities at Roca Honda which began in 2006. The installation of four monitor wells has been completed. Each well was drilled to depths of approximately 2,000 feet (610 m) and will enable the Company to obtain vital geologic and hydrologic information, in addition to further defining the ore body and providing samples for initial mill process studies. On completion, pump tests will be performed on each of the four wells to determine baseline water quality. Planning for the installation of meteorological and radiological monitoring stations was begun, which will allow of the collection of background data for mine design and operations planning. These data are necessary as part of a mine permit application, which is expected to be submitted by the first half of 2009, should a positive production decision be given by the Joint Venture. The planning process for the construction of a mill in New Mexico to suppo rt the Roca Honda resource is also continuing. Initial site studies for the mill and tailings, as well as mill process design studies, supported by the recent drilling program are underway. The Company's engineering consultants have completed the 30% design of the mill. It will be advanced to a 60% design for use in the NRC license application, which is expected to be submitted no later than the first half of 2010.


During installation of the second monitor well, a new uranium zone was discovered. This zone is located in Section 16, a previously unexplored area of the property. In total, two of the four monitor wells tested identified significant new uranium mineralization outside the known uranium deposit.

*The foregoing historical resource estimates presented in the table above were completed prior to the implementation of the NI 43- 101 requirements. Given the quality of the historic work completed on the properties in Wyoming and New Mexico discussed herein and the production history of Gas Hills Uranium District and the Grants Mineral District, the Company believes the resource estimates to be both relevant and reliable. However, a qualified person has not completed sufficient work to classify the historic mineral resources as current mineral resource, and is not treating the historic resources as current. Hence, they should not be relied upon. The technical information in this news release has been prepared in accordance with the Canadian regulatory requirements set out in National Instrument 43- 101 and reviewed by David Miller, President and Chief Operating Officer for Strathmore Minerals Corp., a qualified person under National In strument 43-101

Management and Board Changes


On September 26th, Mr. Dev Randhawa, Chairman and Director, resigned from the Company. Mr. Randhawa, who founded Strathmore in 1996, and positioned the Company as an early uranium participant, determined that it was necessary to predominantly focus on his role as CEO of Fission Energy Corp. Fission was spun out of Strathmore as a separate company and distributed to its shareholders in 2007. Concurrently, Mr. Ralph J. Goehring was appointed to the Board as an independent Director.


Results of Operations


For the third quarter 2008, the Company incurred a net loss of $3,932,226 or $0.05 per common share, compared with a net loss of $2,010,938 or $0.03 per common share for the third quarter of 2007. General and administrative expenses for the third quarter 2008 totaled $1,143,485, compared to $2,250,915 for the third quarter 2007. The third quarter increase in net loss is attributed to a decrease in interest income due to lower cash balances and an other than temporary impairment on the Company’s investments in American Uranium Corp., and Yellowcake Minerals Ltd. Decreased general and administrative expenses in the third quarter 2008 compared to the third quarter 2007 can be attributed to reduced consulting and professional fees along with a decrease in stock based compensation expense.


The net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 totaled $14,880,862 or $0.21 per common share, compared to a net loss of $3,046,541 or $0.04 per common share recorded in the prior comparative period. The current period reported no future income tax recovery and less interest income when compared to same period of 2007. The decrease in interest income for the current period is due to lower cash balances. During the last two quarters, the Company recorded an other than temporary impairment on its investments of $11,207,230 in American Uranium Corp. and Yellowcake Minerals Ltd.

The expenses incurred by the Company are typical of junior exploration companies that have not yet established mineral reserves.  The Company’s expenditures change from quarter to quarter as a result of non-recurring activities or events.


Liquidity


Working Capital


Working capital was $8,424,094 as at September 30, 2008 compared with 15,242,994 at December 31, 2007. The decrease of $6,818,900 was mainly due to cash used in operations and mineral property investing activities.


Cash flows


Cash increased by $448,077 to $3,348,173 in YTD (year to date) 2008. Cash flows used in operating activities were $1,625,532 in YTD 2008 compared with $4,602,956 in YTD 2007.  The decrease was largely attributable to the timing of cash payments. Cash flows used in investing activities increased by $2,072,209 for YTD 2008 compared with cash outflows of $632,001 for YTD 2007 as expenditures on mineral properties were reduced. Funding from partners of joint ventured properties allowed the Company to conserve its cash resources while still continuing exploration. Cash flows from financing activities were $1,400 for YTD 2008 a decrease from $2,950,738 for YTD 2007 as a result of fewer exercises of stock options and warrants.

#



Liquidity (continued)


Cash flows (continued)


An internal review found that Strathmore has no exposure to sub-prime mortgage paper. The Company’s cash balances are managed by two professional portfolio managers and are invested in a diversified fixed income portfolio of government backed and corporate securities. The Company does not have any operating revenues as a junior resource company engaged in mineral exploration and development. The Company does not anticipate generating any operating revenues in the next few years. Historically, the Company has received revenues only from investment income on cash reserves held.  The Company expects investment income on cash balances to be the only source of its income for the next several years. The current financial credit crisis and market correction are of great concern to management. As a result of the unprecedented market volatility, management has little visibility with respect to capital markets in the foreseeable future.  It may take ma ny months to get through this difficult period, and the Company is making the necessary planning adjustments in order to preserve capital, yet continue to move forward with certain commitments on its advanced uranium projects. However, should the crisis be prolonged, it may become very challenging to secure financing necessary to advance the Gas Hills and/or Roca Honda projects to the production stage.


Financing, Principal Purposes and Milestones


During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company conducted no placements of its common shares.


During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company completed its Form 20-F Registration in the United States, and is now a fully reporting issuer with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. This voluntary registration requires the Company to submit timely filings under Form 6-K and an annual filing under Form 20-F, and places the Company under the regulatory jurisdiction of the SEC. Management believes that such increased availability of corporate data will assist investors in the United States to better evaluate the Company. Strathmore is also presently reviewing alternatives for an exchange listing in the United States.



Change in Accounting Policy


Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the following new standards issued by the Canadian Institute of Charted Accountants (“CICA”).  These accounting policies were adopted on a prospective basis without restatement of prior period financial statements.  The new standards and accounting policy changes are as follows:


(i)

CICA Section 1400, Assessing Going Concern


This Section was amended to include requirements for management to assess and disclose an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.  

#




Change in Accounting Policy (continued)


(ii)

CICA Section 1535, Capital Disclosures


This Section establishes standards for disclosing information about an entity’s capital and how it is managed.  This standard requires the Company to disclose, based on the information provided internally to the entity’s key management personnel, (1) qualitative information regarding the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for managing capital; (2) quantitative data about what the Company manages as capital; (3) whether the Company has complied with any externally imposed capital requirements; and (4) if it has not complied, the consequences of such non-compliance (Note 9).


(iii)

CICA Section 3862, Financial Instruments – Disclosures and CICA Section 3863, Financial Instruments – Presentation


These sections replace CICA Handbook Section 3861, Financial Instruments – Disclosure and Presentation.  These new sections incorporate any of the disclosure requirements of Section 3861, but place increased emphasis on disclosure about the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments and how the Company manages those risks (Note 10).



Recent accounting pronouncements


International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)


On February 13, 2008, the Canadian Accounting Standards Board (“AcSB”) confirmed the mandatory changeover date to International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) for Canadian profit-oriented publicly accountable entities (“PAE’s”) such as the Company.

The AcSB requires IFRS compliant financial statements be prepared for annual and interim financial statements commencing on or after January 1, 2011.  For PAE’s with December 31 year-end, the first unaudited interim financial statements under IFRS will be the quarter ending March 31, 2011, with comparative financial information for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.  The first audited annual financial statements will be for the year ending December 31, 2011, with comparative financial information for the year ending December 31, 2010.  This also means that all opening balance sheet adjustments relating to the adoption of IFRS must be reflected in the January 2010 opening balance sheet which will be issued as part of the comparative financial information in the March 31, 2011 unaudited interim financial statements.

Recent accounting pronouncements (continued)


The Company intends to adopt these requirements as set out by the AcSB and other regulatory bodies.  At this time, the impact of adopting IFRS cannot be reasonably quantified.  During the remainder of 2008, the Company will continue to evaluate the impact of IFRS on the Company and develop and put in place a plan for the conversion to IFRS.  If the Company decides not to early adopt the standards, the actual conversion work will occur during 2009 and 2010, in anticipation of the preparation of the January 1, 2010 balance sheet which will be required for comparative purposes for all periods ending in 2011.
