NOTE 4:

MINERAL RIGHTS AND PROPERTIES

Mineral Rights

At July 31, 2017, the Company had mineral rights in the States of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas and Wyoming and the Republic of Paraguay. These mineral rights were acquired through staking and purchase, lease or option agreements and are subject to varying royalty interests, some of which are indexed to the sale price of uranium. At July 31, 2017, annual maintenance payments of approximately $1,625,000 were required to maintain these mineral rights.

Mineral rights and property acquisition costs consisted of the following:

	July 31, 2017		July 31, 2016

During Fiscal 2017, the Company abandoned the Nichols Project located in Texas and certain non-core mineral interests at projects located in Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico with a combined acquisition cost of $297,942. As a result, an impairment loss on mineral properties of $297,942 was reported on the consolidated statements of operations.

During Fiscal 2016, the Company abandoned certain mineral interests at projects located in Colorado, New Mexico and Wyoming having a combined acquisition cost of $97,114. As a result, an impairment loss on mineral properties of $97,114 was reported on the consolidated statement of operations.

During Fiscal 2015, the Company abandoned certain mineral interests which were outside of the previously established mineralized materials at the Salvo Project with a combined acquisition cost of $349,805. As a result, an impairment loss on mineral property of $349,805 was reported on the consolidated statement of operations.

The Company has not established proven or probable reserves, as defined by the SEC under Industry Guide 7, for any of its mineral projects. The Company has established the existence of mineralized materials for certain uranium projects, including the Palangana Mine. Since the Company commenced uranium extraction at the Palangana Mine without having established proven or probable reserves, there may be greater inherent uncertainty as to whether or not any mineralized material can be economically extracted as originally planned and anticipated.

The Palangana Mine has been the Company’s sole source for the uranium concentrates sold to generate its sales revenues during Fiscal 2015, Fiscal 2013 and 2012, with no sales revenues generated during Fiscal 2017, Fiscal 2016, Fiscal 2014 and prior to Fiscal 2012. The economic viability of the Company’s mining activities, including the expected duration and profitability of the Palangana Mine and of any future satellite ISR mines, such as the Burke Hollow and Goliad Projects, located within the South Texas Uranium Belt, has many risks and uncertainties. These include, but are not limited to: (i) a significant, prolonged decrease in the market price of uranium; (ii) difficulty in marketing and/or selling uranium concentrates; (iii) significantly higher than expected capital costs to construct the mine and/or processing plant; (iv) significantly higher than expected extraction costs; (v) significantly lower than expected uranium extraction; (vi) significant delays, reductions or stoppages of uranium extraction activities; and (vii) the introduction of significantly more stringent regulatory laws and regulations. The Company’s mining activities may change as a result of any one or more of these risks and uncertainties and there is no assurance that any ore body that we extract mineralized materials from will result in profitable mining activities.

The estimated depletion and amortization of mineral rights and properties for the next five fiscal years are as follows:

Fiscal 2018	$	52,028
Fiscal 2019		39,376
Fiscal 2020		11,350
Fiscal 2021		1,542
Fiscal 2022		291,132
Total	$	395,428

Palangana Mine, Texas

The Company holds various mining lease and surface use agreements granting the Company the exclusive right to explore, develop and mine for uranium at the Palangana Mine, a 6,987-acre property located in Duval County, Texas approximately 100 miles south of the Hobson Processing Facility. These agreements are subject to certain royalty and overriding royalty interests indexed to the sale price of uranium and generally have an initial five-year term with extension provisions.

During Fiscal 2017, the asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) of the Palangana Mine were revised due to changes in the estimated timing of restoration and reclamation of the Palangana Mine, resulting in the corresponding mineral rights and properties being reduced by $157,130, and a credit amount of revaluation of ARO totaling $187,255 being recorded against the mineral property expenditures for the Palangana Mine. Refer to Note 10: Asset Retirement Obligations.

During Fiscal 2017 and Fiscal 2016, the Company continued with the strategic plan of reduced operations implemented in Fiscal 2014 and further reduced operations at the Palangana Mine to capture residual uranium only.
