MANCOS URANIUM MILL PROJECT

Mancos Resounces, Inc., of Cortez Colorado, has proposed to construct and operate a uranium mill six miles north west of Green River, Utah. The proposed site is one of several parcels of Utah School and Institutional Trust Land Administration (SITLA) land that Emery County has arranged to lease from SITLA for sale or lease to independent companies as part of an industrial development area. Mancos announced the project at a public informational meeting in Green River on March 28, 2008.

On April 10, 2008, BlueRock Resources, Ltd., a Canadian Company, issued a News Release announcing that they had arranged to purchase 100% of Mancos Resouces. The purchase agreement includes several steps in order fulfill the terms of the purchase. BlueRock also has issued a News Release announcing an agreement with Denison Mines, Inc., to provide ore to the Denison Mines uranium mill on White Mesa, near the Ute Mt. Ute tribal community in San Juan County, Utah. BlueRock has interests in uranium mines in Colorado and Utah.

The proposed mill would be licensed by the Utah Division of Radiation Control. It would also require permits from the Utah Division of Air Quality and Division of Water Quality.
