TORONTO /CNW/ – Volcanic Metals Exploration Inc. (TSX-V: VME) (the “Company) announces that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Energy Fuels Resources Corporation (“Energy Fuels”), has executed a contract with Rimrock Exploration & Development Company, a mining contractor, to open two previously operated uranium/vanadium mines on one of the Company’s properties.
The Torbyn and Sapphire Mines were operated until the early 1980’s at which time they were put on standby in anticipation of higher uranium prices. Energy Fuels will develop an underground and surface drilling program to expand the potential resources. Work on reopening the mines will commence immediately under an existing mine permit. The Manager of Mine Operations for Energy Fuels, Terry Bunker, will supervise all contract mining operations, as well as the future mining operations.
Volcanic Metals Exploration Inc. is a Toronto-based mineral exploration company in uranium & vanadium projects located in the State of Colorado through its wholly-owned subsidiary Energy Fuels Resources Corporation, and with gold, base metals and platinum group projects in Newfoundland and Quebec.
