Verdera Energy Corp.

Verdera Energy Corp. is focused on the development of In-Situ Recovery (“ISR”) uranium assets in New Mexico. With the largest land position in a prolific uranium district, and the largest uranium endowment among U.S.-focused public uranium exploration companies, Verdera is working to meet the growing demand for clean, reliable domestic uranium. Led by a team with extensive experience in the uranium and natural resources sector, Verdera holds private mineral rights spanning approximately 400 square miles, 88 million pounds of known and historic resources and a significant proprietary uranium database. New Mexico, with expansive uranium resources, is positioned as a critical district in the U.S. domestic nuclear renaissance, driven by efforts to reduce reliance on foreign imports. Verdera is committed to fostering strong community relations and strives to work closely with local communities.

New Mexico Projects

Project Highlights

  • The Crownpoint Project is compromised of over 3,000 acres of 100% owned mineral rights;
  • Uranium was first discovered in 1968 and the project area was extensively explored in the 1970’s by Conoco and Westinghouse;
  • Mobil Oil Company also conducted extensive ISR pilot testing on the same roll front in an area 4 miles northwest of the Verdera Energy property which successfully confirmed the potential for ISR uranium extraction from the Westwater Canyon Formation;

Project Highlights

  • The West Largo project consists of approximately 3,840 acres in McKinley County, New Mexico, along the north-central edge of the Grants Uranium District, approximately 25 miles north of Grants.
  • Gulf Minerals discovered uranium mineralization in the area in 1968. Subsequent drilling by the major mining companies including Gulf, Kerr McGee, Pathfinder, and Santa Fe Minerals delineated the deposit on the West Largo properties in the 1970s and 1980s.

Project Highlights

  • The Property consists of deeded mineral rights totaling 24,555 acres along with certain unpatented mining claims covering approximately 1,700 acres;
  • During the active mining period, nearly 22 million pounds of U3O8 were produced from eight mines on Company-owned properties in the project area;
  • Considerable exploration and mining has been carried out on lands that make up the project and on adjoining properties;
  • The project is situated within the largest uranium mining area (in terms of pounds of U3O8 production) in the United States;
  • Initial exploration for sandstone-hosted uranium deposits started in the early 1950s while commercial production commenced in the mid-1950s and continued uninterrupted until the late 1990s. 

Project Highlights

  • The property consists of deeded mineral rights with no holding costs covering 6,400 acres and 42 unpatented lode mining claims comprising approximately 800 acres;
  • The property and surrounding area were extensively explored during the 1970s and 1980s by Phillips Uranium Corp. Approximately 1,199 drill holes were completed within deeded mineral rights while more than 185 holes were drilled within unpatented lode claims that collectively comprise the project.

Sustainable Solutions for Resource Extraction

Verdera Energy is exclusively focused on In-Situ Recovery (“ISR”), which offers a minimally intrusive, eco-friendly, and economically competitive approach to mineral extraction. It’s been proven a successful technique for obtaining uranium, especially from lower-grade deposits that might not warrant conventional open pit or underground mining due to costs. Unlike traditional mining, ISR doesn’t involve open pits, waste dumps, or tailings, making it more environmentally considerate. This method also streamlines the permitting, development, and reclamation processes. With ISR, uranium is extracted without disturbing the surface, and once the process is complete, the land is restored to its original state and baseline use.

New Mexico: World Class Uranium Deposits

New Mexico hosts the largest identified uranium ore reserves in the United States with the Grants Uranium District thought to be the seventh largest uranium-producing district in the world.1 The Grants Uranium District contains approximately 409 million pounds of uranium resources, as identified by companies in the 1980s2 and accounts for nearly 40% of all uranium mined in the U.S. Since production began in 1948, the region has produced approximately ~350 million pounds of U₃O₈. 

 The region’s sandstone-hosted uranium deposits are generally amenable to ISR methods, supporting environmentally responsible development. The Grants Uranium District remains a cornerstone of America’s uranium supply, positioning New Mexico as a key contributor to the nation’s nuclear energy future.

Nuclear Energy, a Safe, Carbon-Free Energy Source

Nuclear energy is a key source of clean, secure, and cost-effective power. As one of the most dependable energy sources, it provides 20% of the total electricity in the U.S.

  • Nuclear energy is one of the safest energy sources and has seen dramatic changes over the last 50 years to make the technology even safer and more efficient. 

  • It is the largest source of carbon-free electricity in the United States and protects our air quality by generating electricity without other harmful pollutants like nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide, particulate matter, or mercury.

  • Nuclear is powerful, one uranium fuel pellet—about the size of a gummy bear—creates as much energy as one ton of coal, 149 gallons of oil or 17,000 cubic feet of natural gas.

Proud Member of the New Mexico Geological Society

The New Mexico Geological Society promotes interest in geology and associated sciences, fosters scientific research and publications, encourages cooperation among its members, and stimulates interest in New Mexico geology. These goals are met through annual fall field conferences held in different locations in New Mexico or adjoining states and annual spring meetings, generally held in Socorro, New Mexico, where oral presentations on different aspects of New Mexico geology are given.

Proud Member of the Clean Energy Association of New Mexico​

The Clean Energy Association of New Mexico (“CLEAN”) provides education, awareness and innovative tools to support a strong and safe nuclear energy sector that is sensitive to the environment and communities in which we live and work. Our mandate, as we work together, is to build sustainable economic benefits for the local communities and the State while respecting the land, water, air and people of New Mexico.
