* A Qualified Person (as defined in NI 43-101) has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as a current mineral resource. Additional work will be required to verify and update historical estimates, including a review of assumptions, parameters, methods and testing. Historical estimates do not use the current mineral resource categories prescribed under NI 43-101. Verdera is not treating the historical estimate as a current mineral resource. Historical resources are considered relevant and reliable, and will be used for the purpose of planning additional verification and exploration work.

New Mexico
World Class Uranium Deposits
New Mexico has the largest identified uranium ore reserves of any state in the United States.
Source: McLemore, 2007; McLemore et al., 2013; table
Approximately 409 million pounds of uranium resources remain in the Grants Uranium District as identified by companies in the 1980s.
Inexpensive property acquisition costs include millions of dollars of exploration and development expenditures already incurred during the 1970s and 1980s exploration cycle.
Sandstone uranium deposits found in New Mexico are generally ISR amenable.
