Black Range Minerals Developement Of Hansen Uranium Project Acquisition

Published on Friday February 11 2011

 Please Note: This is not Financial Advice
I have just put together some additional info regarding STB Minerals Manager Tom Pool and his past association with Nuclear Fuels Corporation.

Nuclear Fuels Corporation (NFC) was formed in 1991 by General Atomics (GA) to market uranium produced from GA mining assets as well as to develop additional uranium projects.

Those Researched Long Term BLR Holders that are closely following the behind closed door activities, will relate to the significance of the info these links below contain.

It is my personal view that we could see the possibility of a "MAJOR" Uranium Player becoming involved after finalization of the acquisition of the remaining 51% interest 
in the Hansen Deposit that it Black Range doesn't currently control.

IMO: I'll throw a wild card, regards to a possible J/V partner & that is that either Paladin or more likely U.S. Nuclear giant General Atomics will soon appear onto the scene.

Note** General Atomics currently own the Cotter Mill at Cannon City.

Quoted from BLR's recent Quarterly 
31 January 2011

During the quarter the Company made considerable progress towards finalizing definitive agreements with STB Minerals LLC ("STB"), that will provide Black Range an exclusive option to acquire the remaining 51% interest in the 30 million pound Hansen Uranium Deposit in Colorado, USA. The Company anticipates finalizing definitive agreements in the near term.
