Property Summary – Yuty Project, Paraguay

Historical drilling was done by Anschutz Corporation in partnership with Korea Electric Power and Taiwan Power. Over $30 million was spent drilling 266 holes over a large area deterining the geology and setting. Starting in 2007, Cue Resources spent $11.7 million futher deliniating the resource, drilling 218 holes and producing the NI 43-101 compliant resource. The Yuty uranium project includes the San Antonio deposit with a mineral resource of:

• Indicated Resource 9.0M tonnes @ 0.042% eU3O8 containing 8.3Mlbs eU3O8
• Inferred Resource 1.1M tonnes @ 0.050% eU3O8 containing 1.2Mlbs eU3O8

The Paraná Basin covers large portions of southern Brazil, eastern Paraguay and northern Uruguay. The host formation is sands of the San Miguel formation of upper Permo-carboniferous age. The same formation is host to the Figueira deposit in Brazil which is reported to have produced in the order of 15-20 million lbs U3O8. Early in the drilling program, uranium mineralization was encountered, with the typical appearance of a roll front system. Systematic drilling on wide-spaced drill fences outlined many target areas, with several strongly mineralized intercepts being encountered. Given the wide spacing (usually in excess of 1 km between holes) these results were rightly considered to be highly encouraging. Drilling on the Yuty project in the early 1980’s had outlined a well-mineralized zone (the San Antonio zone) extending over 7 kilometers of strike length. Early in 1982 the operator estimated a resource of 5M lbs. By the end of the 1982 drill program, this had been extended to a resource of about 14,000,000 lbs U3O8. Preliminary mining studies were planned for 1983. However with the collapse of the uranium market in the early 1980’s all work was ended on the property after the completion of the 1982 program, an all-too-common story in the uranium business. In 2008 a column leach test returned 86% recovery with sulphuric acid, reinforcing previously performed lab testing which had resulted in 86-97% recoveries. Initial permeability/porosity evaluation returned values within the range of other commercial ISR operations. Only a small area of the 231,000 hectare Yuty exploration permit has been properly explored, with 450 drill holes completed on the property since 1976 and many high-potential targets remaining to be tested across the property.
