Notable Quotes

  • “One of my stated goals with Terra was to add another low-risk uranium project to the Company and this transaction does just that. Having toured the properties with our VP Exploration, it is clear from the moment you arrive you are in a uranium district with many old workings, adits, shafts and old infrastructure. I am excited to see work begin this fall and believe there to be a clear path to add significant value for our shareholders.” – Greg Cameron, CEO
  • “This initial project in San Rafael Swell offers significant upside as it is clear that these old mines were abandoned in the 1970’s due to a uranium market collapse not because they ran out of uranium to mine,” – Greg Cameron, CEO
  • “We believe strongly that we can expand on the previous work through modern exploration technologies like 3D modelling” – Trevor Perkins, VP Exploration
