Urex Energy Provides Update on Exploration Activities
Urex Energy Corporation (the "Company" or "Urex") (OTCBB: URXE) recently reported that it has been delayed in obtaining exploration drilling permits on its projects in New Mexico and Argentina.
The proposed drilling program on the Rio Chubut Uranium Project, located in central Chubut Province, Argentina, is designed to drill test for extensions of known uranium mineralization adjacent to and on trend with the Cero Solo uranium deposit. Environmental permitting started on the project in September 2006 with the objective of obtaining the necessary permits to initiate the drilling program. To date, progress has been made with the relevant regulatory agencies; however, final approval of the drilling permit has not been received as of yet. Urex believes that it will receive the drilling permit, but it is not certain of the precise timing of that approval.
Management visited the Rio Chubut Project site in mid-December 2006 and remains convinced of technical viability of the project and robustness of Argentina for new uranium discoveries. The Rio Chubut Project area represents a small fraction of the total property holdings of Urex in Argentina. The Company continues to implement a larger regional exploration program outside the Cerro Solo area.
In New Mexico, the Company's La Mesa Extension Uranium Project is also waiting approval of an exploration permit that will allow the start of Phase 1 drilling. Meetings with the relevant agencies have been set to discuss issues raise by interested third parties. The Company is confident that it will be successful in obtaining permission to start its exploration program, but as with Argentina it is uncertain when that approval will be granted.
