THE COMPANY

We are in the business of exploring, developing, mining and production from our uranium and vanadium resource properties. Our mineral properties are located on the western Colorado and Utah plateau of south western Colorado and adjacent areas of the western United States. Upon our acquisition of Black Range Minerals Limited (“Black Range”), a mineral exploration and development company, our primary focus is bringing the fully permitted Sunday Mine Complex into production using the Ablation technology, development of the Hansen Project and the commercialization of the Ablation mineral concentration technology.

The Sunday Mine Complex is located in western San Miguel County, Colorado. The complex consists of the following five individual mines: the Sunday mine, the Carnation mine, the Saint Jude mine, the West Sunday mine and the Topaz mine. The operation of each of these mines requires a separate permit and all such permits have been obtained by Western and are currently valid. In addition, each of the mines has good access to a paved highway, electric power to existing declines, office/storage/shop and change buildings, and extensive underground haulage development with several vent shafts complete with exhaust fans.

The Hansen/Taylor Ranch Project hosts six separate deposits and is located northwest of Canon City in Colorado. The Hansen Deposit has been targeted for initial production because (i) of its size, (ii) it is the highest grade of all of the deposits, and (iii) it is the most technically advanced of the deposit in terms of historical permitting and drilling.

We have acquired a license (“Ablation”), which provides a low cost, purely physical, method of concentrating mineralization by applying a grain-size separation process to ore slurries. No chemicals are added in the process, yet very high mineral recoveries can be achieved with considerable mass reduction; facilitating the separation of a high-value, high-grade ore product from a coarse-grained barren “clean sand” product.

Application of Ablation is expected to have a very positive effect on the development of not only the Company’s Hansen Deposit but also many other uranium deposits, globally, because it is expected to significantly reduce both capital and operating costs; while timelines to obtain mine permits may also be reduced.

Extensive test work has shown that from amenable sandstone-hosted uranium ore types, typically more than 90% of the uranium mineralization can be separated into 10-20% of the initial sample mass.

Our common shares are quoted on the Canadian Stock Exchange, also known as the “CSE,” under the symbol “WUC” as well as the OTC Pink Open Marketplace under the symbol “WSTRF.” We are headquartered in Ontario, Canada with mining operations in the two U.S. states of Utah and Colorado. We have 1 full-time employee. The mailing address of our headquarters is 10 King Street East, Suite 700, Toronto, Ontario, M5C 1C3, Canada, and the telephone number at that location is (416) 564-2870. Our corporate website is located at http://western-uranium.com/ .

CORPORATE HISTORY

Western Uranium Corporation was incorporated in December, 2006 under the Ontario Business Corporations Act and was formerly a non-listed reporting issuer subject to the rules and regulations of the Ontario Securities Commission. On November 20, 2014, the Company completed a listing process on the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE"). As part of that process, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Pinon Ridge Mining LLC ("PRM"), a Delaware limited liability company. The transaction constituted a reverse takeover of Western by PRM. After obtaining appropriate shareholder approvals, the Company subsequently reconstituted its Board of Directors and senior management team.

OUR STRATEGY

Our vision is to become a leading uranium developer and producer. Our strategy is to build value for stockholders by advancing our projects towards production when uranium markets improve, while prudently managing our cash and liquidity position for financial flexibility. The Company holds an exclusive license to use ablation mining technology (“AMT”), a proven technology that vastly improves the efficiency of the sandstone hosted uranium mining process, which will be in operation at our Sunday Mine complex later in early 2017. At any time we may have acquisition or partnering opportunities in various stages of active review, including, for example, our engagement of consultants and advisors to analyze particular opportunities, analysis of technical, financial and other confidential information, submission of indications of interest, participation in preliminary discussions and negotiations and involvement as a bidder in competitive processes.

RECENT CORPORATE DEVELOPMENTS

Private placements

On February 4, 2015, the Company completed a private placement raising gross proceeds of CAD $1,760,000 (US$1,453,602) through the issuance of 640,000 common shares at a price of CAD $2.75 (US$2.27) per common share. In connection with this private placement, the Company paid broker fees, legal fees and other expenses of US$99,809.

On December 31, 2015, the Company completed a private placement raising gross proceeds of CAD $300,000 through the subscription for 101,009 common shares at a price of CAD $2.97 (US$2.14) per common share, and warrants to purchase aggregate of 101,009 common shares at an exercise price of CAD $3.50. Of the total amount received, CAD $275,000 (US$198,298) was received in December of 2015 while the remainder was received in February of 2016. The warrants are exercisable immediately upon issuance and expire five years from the date of issuance. At December 31, 2015, the Company accounted for these proceeds of $198,298 as subscriptions payable.

During April 2016 the Company completed a private placement raising gross proceeds of CAD $680,760 (US$543,456) through the issuance of 400,447 common shares at a price of CAD $1.70 (US$1.36) per common share, and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 400,447 common shares at an exercise price of CAD $1.70 per share. The warrants are exercisable immediately and expire on April 30, 2021.

Acquisition of Mineral Properties from EFHC

On August 18, 2014, the Company closed on the purchase of certain mining properties from Energy Fuels Holding Corp. (“EFHC”) in an arm’s length transaction. The mining assets include both owned and leased land in the states of Utah and Colorado. All of the mining assets represent properties that have previously been mined to different degrees for uranium in the past. As some of the properties have not formally established proven or probable reserves, there may be greater inherent uncertainty as to whether or not any mineralized material can be economically extracted as originally planned and anticipated.

Acquisition of PRM

On November 20, 2014, Western, through its wholly-owned US subsidiary Western Uranium Corporation, which was incorporated in Utah (“Western US”), acquired 100% of the members' interests of PRM. The transaction formed the basis for the Company obtaining a public listing on the CSE. To effect the transaction, Western issued 11,000,000 post-consolidation common shares in exchange for all the issued and outstanding securities of PRM.

PRM is a Delaware limited liability company with an indefinite term, which was formed on March 10, 2014 for the purpose of purchasing and operating uranium mines in Utah and Colorado.

Acquisition of Black Range

On September 16, 2015, Western completed its acquisition of Black Range, an Australian company that was listed on the Australian Securities Exchange until the acquisition was completed. The acquisition terms were pursuant to a definitive Merger Implementation Agreement entered into between Western and Black Range. Pursuant to the agreement, Western acquired all of the issued shares of Black Range by way of Scheme of Arrangement (“the Scheme”) under the Australian  Corporation Act 2001 (Cth)  (the "Black Range Transaction"), with Black Range shareholders being issued common shares of Western on a 1 for 750 basis. On August 25, 2015, the Scheme was approved by the shareholders of Black Range and on September 4, 2015, Black Range received approval by the Federal Court of Australia. In addition, Western issued to certain employees, directors and consultants options to purchase Western common shares. Such stock options were intended to replace Black Range stock options outstanding prior to the Black Range Transaction on the same 1 for 750 basis.

In connection with the Black Range Transaction, Western acquired the net assets of Black Range. These net assets consist principally of interests in a uranium complex of mines located in Colorado (the “Hansen-Taylor Complex”) and a 100% interest in a 25 year license for ablation mining technologies and related patents from Ablation Technologies, LLC. The Hansen-Taylor Complex is principally a sandstone-hosted deposit that was discovered in 1977 which was permitted for mining in 1981. Ablation is a low cost, purely physical method of concentrating mineralization of uranium ore by applying a grain-size separation process to ore slurries.

OVERVIEW OF THE URANIUM INDUSTRY

The only significant commercial use for uranium is as a fuel for nuclear power plants for the generation of electricity. According to the World Nuclear Association ("WNA"), as of January 2016, there were 396 nuclear reactors operable worldwide, excluding the 43 idled reactors in Japan, with annual requirements of about 147.5 million pounds of uranium. In addition, the WNA lists 66 reactors under construction, 158 being planned and 330 being proposed.

Worldwide uranium production or primary supply in 2016 is estimated by UxC Consulting in its Q4 2015 report at 163 million pounds. This is compared with 151 million pounds of primary supply in 2015. Using estimates from WNA, estimated global uranium demand was 148 million pounds in 2015.

Spot prices rose from $21.00 per pound in January 2005 to a high of $136.00 per pound in June 2007 in anticipation of sharply higher projected demand as a result of a resurgence in nuclear power and the depletion or unavailability of secondary supplies. The sharp price increase was driven in part by high levels of buying by utility companies, which resulted in most utilities covering their requirements through 2009. A decrease in near-term utility demand coupled with rising levels of supplies from producers and traders led to downward pressure on uranium prices since the third quarter of 2007. A rebound in uranium prices in conjunction with a recovery in commodities in 2010 was curtailed by the Fukushima disaster in Japan.

In 2015, the average weekly spot price of uranium was $36.83 per pound compared with $35.50 in 2014 and $39.00 per pound in 2013. In 2015, the weekly spot price of uranium reached a high of $39.50 per pound in March while the low for the year was $33.75 per pound in December. The year end 2015 spot price was $34.25 per pound. As of March 14, 2016, the weekly spot price was $28.75 per pound and the long-term contract price was $44.00 per pound.

Many analysts are calling for improved uranium prices over the mid-term from a supply deficit as uranium market fundamentals for supply and demand improve.  Secondary supply inventories are being drawn down. Demand for uranium is expected to improve over the mid-term from an increase of nuclear power generation in China, and to a lesser extent, India, Russia and other countries. Potential catalysts supportive of uranium prices in the near term include utility long-term contracting and gradual restarting of Japan's idled 43 reactors.

Vanadium

Conventional and new vanadium applications include steelmaking, grid scale renewable energy storage, high performance batteries, and chemicals.

When a very small amount of vanadium is added to steel, high-strength low-alloy vanadium steel is created while greatly reducing energy, shipping and production costs. And while steelmaking accounts for roughly 92% of all vanadium currently consumed, it's estimated that vanadium is only used in about 9% of all steels today.

International metals consultancy TTP Squared, Inc. forecasts steel-specific vanadium consumption will grow at a Consolidated Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 4.8% over the period 2010 to 2025 not because steel will be in much greater demand but because vanadium alloy steel will be in greater demand.

After steelmaking, the second largest market for vanadium is that of catalysts and chemical applications.

While currently representing up to 5% of global consumption, demand from this segment is projected to grow in the short- and mid-term, according to the leading international metals and minerals research firm Roskill.

In particular, greater demand is expected in connection with the reduction of emissions from coal-fired power plants in developing economies such as China and India, as well as emissions from vehicles via catalytic converters.

Significant new sources of demand for vanadium are also expected to originate from lithium-vanadium phosphate batteries.

As microgrids and renewable energy projects boom, storing power during off-peak times is quickly becoming a global priority. Over the past decade, lithium-ion technology has emerged as the dominant player, amounting for a full 96 per cent of the U.S. market in 2015, according to GTM Research. Though vanadium batteries will never challenge lithium’s stranglehold on the mobile devices market, its ability to be cycled thousands of times without degrading and scaled up or down to match the scope of a specific project could translate to significant penetration in the medium and large scale storage market.

While this new energy storage technology is still considered cutting edge, it continues to impress multiple commercial markets, particularly the automotive industry, where lithium-vanadium phosphate batteries represent the only battery solution with high enough energy density to convince consumers that electric vehicles can compete with gas vehicles on a performance basis.

The current vanadium market price is at a 10-year low and is below the historical floor of $5.00 per lb. The 10-year high price was $17.00 per lb in 2008. In 2014 global supply was 168,000 kilotonnes and demand was 166,000 kilotonnes.

COMPETITION

There is global competition for uranium properties, capital, customers and the employment and retention of qualified personnel. We compete with multiple exploration companies for both properties as well as skilled personnel. In the production and marketing of uranium, there are a number of producing entities globally, some of which are government controlled and several of which are significantly larger and better capitalized than we are. Several of these organizations also have substantially greater financial, technical, manufacturing and distribution resources than we have.

Our future uranium production will also compete with uranium from secondary supplies, including the sale of uranium inventory held by the U.S. Department of Energy. In addition, there are numerous entities in the market that compete with us for properties and operate in situ recovery (“ISR”) facilities. If we are unable to successfully compete for properties, capital, customers or employees or with alternative uranium sources, it could have a materially adverse effect on our results of operations.

With respect to sales of uranium, the Company competes primarily based on price. We will market uranium to utilities and commodity brokers. We are in direct competition with supplies available from various sources worldwide. We believe we compete with multiple operating uranium companies.

OVERVIEW OF WESTERN PROPERTIES

On September 16, 2015, in connection with the Black Range Transaction, the Company acquired additional mineral properties. The mining properties acquired through Black Range include leased land in the states of Colorado, Wyoming and Alaska. None of these mining properties are operational at this time. As these properties have not formally established proven or probable reserves, there may be greater inherent uncertainty as to whether or not any mineralized material can be economically extracted as originally planned and anticipated.

The Company’s mining properties acquired on August 18, 2014, include: San Rafael Uranium Project located in Emery County, Utah; The Sunday Mine Complex located in western San Miguel County, Colorado; The Van 4 Mine located in western Montrose County, Colorado; The Yellow Cat Project located in eastern Grand County, Utah; The Farmer Girl Mine project located in Montrose County, Colorado; The Sage Mine project located in San Juan County, Utah, and San Miguel County, Colorado USA.

The Company’s mining properties acquired on September 16, 2015, include Hansen, North Hansen, High Park, Picnic Tree, Taylor Ranch and Boyer Ranch, located in Fremont County, Colorado. The Company also acquired Jonesville Coal located in Palmer Recording District, Alaska and Keota located in Weld County, Wyoming.

THE ABLATION PROCESS

The Ablation mining process is dramatically different from conventional mining techniques. The benefits of ablation are as follows:

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS AND PERMITTING

United States

Uranium extraction is regulated by the federal government, states and, in some cases, by Indian tribes. Compliance with such regulation has a material effect on the economics of our operations and the timing of project development. Our primary regulatory costs have been related to obtaining licenses and permits from federal and state agencies before the commencement of production activities. The current environmental regulatory requirements for the ISR industry are well established. Many ISR projects have gone a full life cycle without any significant environmental impact. However, the process can make environmental permitting difficult and timing unpredictable.

U.S. regulations pertaining to climate change continue to evolve in both the U.S. and internationally. We do not anticipate any adverse impact from these regulations that would be unique to our operations.

Mining Permits are disclosed on a per mine basis below.

Reclamation and Restoration Costs and Bonding Requirements

At the conclusion of conventional mining, a site is decommissioned and reclaimed. Reclamation involves removing evidence of surface disturbance. The reclamation liabilities of the US mines are subject to legal and regulatory requirements, and estimates of the costs of reclamation are reviewed periodically by the applicable regulatory authorities. The reclamation liability represents the Company’s best estimate of the present value of future reclamation costs in connection with the mineral properties. The Company determined the gross reclamation liabilities at December 31, 2015 of the mineral properties to be approximately $1,036,142.

The Company is required by State regulatory agencies to obtain financial surety relating to certain of its future restoration and reclamation obligations. The Company has provided performance bonds issued for the benefit of the Company in the amount of $1,036,142 million to satisfy such regulatory requirements.

Risks Related to Our Business

Our business activities are subject to significant risks, including those described below. Every investor or potential investor in our securities should carefully consider these risks. If any of the described risks actually occurs, our business, financial position and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. Such risks are not the only ones we face and additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our business.

We are not producing uranium at this time. As a result, we currently have no sources of operating cash. If we cannot access additional sources of private or public capital, partner with another company that has cash resources and/or find other means of generating revenue other than uranium production, we may not be able to remain in business.

Until we begin uranium production, we have no way to generate cash inflows unless we monetize certain of our assets or obtain additional financing. We can provide no assurance that our properties will be placed into production or that we will be able to continue to find, develop, acquire and finance additional reserves. If we cannot monetize certain existing assets, partner with another company that has cash resources, find other means of generating revenue other than uranium production and/or access additional sources of private or public capital, we may not be able to remain in business and our stockholders may lose their entire investment.

Our ability to function as an operating mining company will be dependent on our ability to mine our properties at a profit sufficient to finance further mining activities and for the acquisition and development of additional properties. The volatility of uranium prices makes long-range planning uncertain and raising capital difficult.

Our ability to operate on a positive cash flow basis will be dependent on mining sufficient quantities of uranium at a profit sufficient to finance our operations and for the acquisition and development of additional mining properties. Any profit will necessarily be dependent upon, and affected by, the long and short term market prices of uranium, which are subject to significant fluctuation. Uranium prices have been and will continue to be affected by numerous factors beyond our control. These factors include the demand for nuclear power, political and economic conditions in uranium producing and consuming countries, uranium supply from secondary sources and uranium production levels and costs of production. A significant, sustained drop in uranium prices may make it impossible to operate our business at a level that will permit us to cover our fixed costs or to remain in operation.

Evaluating our future performance may be difficult since we have a limited financial and operating history, with significant negative cash flow and accumulated deficit to date. Furthermore, there is no assurance that we will be successful in securing any form of additional financing in the future, therefore substantial doubt exists as to whether our cash resources and working capital will be sufficient to enable the Company to continue its operations over the next twelve months. Our long-term success will depend ultimately on our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and to develop positive cash flow from our mining activities.

As more fully described within this registration statement, we acquired our first mineral properties in November of 2014. To date, we have been acquiring additional mineral properties and raising capital. We hold uranium projects in various stages of exploration in the States of Colorado and Utah.

As more fully described under “Liquidity and Capital Resources” of Item 2. “Financial Information - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Result of Operations”, we have a history of significant negative cash flow and net losses, with an accumulated deficit balance of $1.9 million at December 31, 2015. We have been reliant on equity financings from the sale of our common shares and on debt financing in order to fund our operations. We do not expect to achieve profitability or develop positive cash flow from operations in the near term. As a result of our limited financial and operating history, including our significant negative cash flow and net losses to date, it may be difficult to evaluate our future performance.

At December 31, 2015, we had a working capital deficit of $2.7 million. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain adequate additional financing which we have successfully secured since inception. However, there is no assurance that we will be successful in securing any form of additional financing in the future, therefore substantial doubt exists as to whether our cash resources and working capital will be sufficient to enable the Company to continue its operations over the next twelve months. The Company’s independent auditor has stated in its report that the consolidated financial statements for the two years ended December 31, 2015 were prepared assuming that the Company would continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred continuing losses from operations and is dependent upon future sources of equity or debt financing in order to fund its operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Our reliance on equity and debt financings is expected to continue for the foreseeable future, and their availability whenever such additional financing is required, will be dependent on many factors beyond our control including, but not limited to, the market price of uranium, the continuing public support of nuclear power as a viable source of electricity generation, the volatility in the global financial markets affecting our stock price and the status of the worldwide economy, any one of which may cause significant challenges in our ability to access additional financing, including access to the equity and credit markets. We may also be required to seek other forms of financing, such as asset divestitures or joint venture arrangements to continue advancing our uranium projects which would depend entirely on finding a suitable third party willing to enter into such an arrangement, typically involving an assignment of a percentage interest in the mineral project.

Our long-term success, including the recoverability of the carrying values of our assets and our ability to acquire additional uranium projects and continue with exploration and pre-extraction activities and mining activities on our existing uranium projects, will depend ultimately on our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow from our operations by establishing ore bodies that contain commercially recoverable uranium and to develop these into profitable mining activities. The economic viability of our mining activities has many risks and uncertainties. These include, but are not limited to: (i) a significant, prolonged decrease in the market price of uranium; (ii) difficulty in marketing and/or selling uranium concentrates; (iii) significantly higher than expected capital costs to construct the mine and/or processing plant; (iv) significantly higher than expected extraction costs; (v) significantly lower than expected uranium extraction; (vi) significant delays, reductions or stoppages of uranium extraction activities; and (vi) the introduction of significantly more stringent regulatory laws and regulations. Our mining activities may change as a result of any one or more of these risks and uncertainties and there is no assurance that any ore body that we extract mineralized materials from will result in achieving and maintaining profitability and developing positive cash flow.

Our operations are capital intensive, and we will require significant additional financing to acquire additional uranium projects, continue with our exploration and begin pre-extraction activities on our existing uranium projects.

Our operations are capital intensive and future capital expenditures are expected to be substantial. We will require significant additional financing to fund our operations, including acquiring additional uranium projects, continuing with our exploration and beginning pre-extraction activities which include assaying, drilling, geological and geochemical analysis and mine construction costs. In the absence of such additional financing, we would not be able to fund our operations, including continuing with our exploration and pre-extraction activities, which may result in delays, curtailment or abandonment of any one or all of our uranium projects.

Uranium exploration and pre-extraction programs and mining activities are inherently subject to numerous significant risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ significantly from expectations or anticipated amounts. Furthermore, exploration programs conducted on our uranium projects may not result in the establishment of ore bodies that contain commercially recoverable uranium.

Uranium exploration and pre-extraction programs and mining activities are inherently subject to numerous significant risks and uncertainties, many beyond our control, including, but not limited to: (i) unanticipated ground and water conditions and adverse claims to water rights; (ii) unusual or unexpected geological formations; (iii) metallurgical and other processing problems; (iv) the occurrence of unusual weather or operating conditions and other force majeure events; (v) lower than expected ore grades; (vi) industrial accidents; (vii) delays in the receipt of or failure to receive necessary government permits; (viii) delays in transportation; (ix) availability of contractors and labor; (x) government permit restrictions and regulation restrictions; (xi) unavailability of materials and equipment; and (xii) the failure of equipment or processes to operate in accordance with specifications or expectations. These risks and uncertainties could result in: delays, reductions or stoppages in our mining activities; increased capital and/or extraction costs; damage to, or destruction of, our mineral projects, extraction facilities or other properties; personal injuries; environmental damage; monetary losses; and legal claims.

Success in uranium exploration is dependent on many factors, including, without limitation, the experience and capabilities of a company’s management, the availability of geological expertise and the availability of sufficient funds to conduct the exploration program. Even if an exploration program is successful and commercially recoverable uranium is established, it may take a number of years from the initial phases of drilling and identification of the mineralization until extraction is possible, during which time the economic feasibility of extraction may change such that the uranium ceases to be economically recoverable. Uranium exploration is frequently non-productive due, for example, to poor exploration results or the inability to establish ore bodies that contain commercially recoverable uranium, in which case the uranium project may be abandoned and written-off. Furthermore, we will not be able to benefit from our exploration efforts and recover the expenditures that we incur on our exploration programs if we do not establish ore bodies that contain commercially recoverable uranium and develop these uranium projects into profitable mining activities, and there is no assurance that we will be successful in doing so for any of our uranium projects.

Whether an ore body contains commercially recoverable uranium depends on many factors including, without limitation: (i) the particular attributes, including material changes to those attributes, of the ore body such as size, grade, recovery rates and proximity to infrastructure; (ii) the market price of uranium, which may be volatile; and (iii) government regulations and regulatory requirements including, without limitation, those relating to environmental protection, permitting and land use, taxes, land tenure and transportation.

We have established the existence of mineralized materials for uranium properties. We have not established proven or probable reserves, as defined by the SEC under Industry Guide 7, through the completion of a “final” or “bankable” feasibility study for any of our uranium properties. Furthermore, we have no current plans to establish proven or probable reserves for any of our uranium properties as it doesn’t serve a business purpose at the present time.

We do not insure against all of the risks we face in our operations.

In general, where coverage is available and not prohibitively expensive relative to the perceived risk, we will maintain insurance against such risk, subject to exclusions and limitations. We currently maintain insurance against certain risks including securities and general commercial liability claims and certain physical assets used in our operations, subject to exclusions and limitations; however, we do not maintain insurance to cover all of the potential risks and hazards associated with our operations. We may be subject to liability for environmental, pollution or other hazards associated with our exploration, pre-extraction and extraction activities, which we may not be insured against, which may exceed the limits of our insurance coverage or which we may elect not to insure against because of high premiums or other reasons. Furthermore, we cannot provide assurance that any insurance coverage we currently have will continue to be available at reasonable premiums or that such insurance will adequately cover any resulting liability.

Our inability to obtain financial surety would threaten our ability to continue in business.

Future financial surety requirements to comply with federal and state environmental and remediation requirements and to secure necessary licenses and approvals will increase significantly as future development and production occurs at certain of our sites in the United States. The amount of the financial surety for each producing property is subject to annual review and revision by regulators. We expect that the issuer of the financial surety instruments will require us to provide cash collateral for a significant amount of the face amount of the bond to secure the obligation. In the event we are not able to raise, secure or generate sufficient funds necessary to satisfy these requirements, we will be unable to develop our sites and bring them into production, which inability will have a material adverse impact on our business and may negatively affect our ability to continue to operate.

Acquisitions that we may make from time to time could have an adverse impact on us.

From time to time, we examine opportunities to acquire additional mining assets and businesses. Any acquisition that we may choose to complete may be of a significant size, may change the scale of our business and operations, and may expose us to new geographic, political, operating, financial and geological risks. Our success in our acquisition activities depends on our ability to identify suitable acquisition candidates, negotiate acceptable terms for any such acquisition, and integrate the acquired operations successfully with those of our Company. Any acquisitions would be accompanied by risks which could have a material adverse effect on our business. For example, there may be a significant change in commodity prices after we have committed to complete the transaction and established the purchase price or exchange ratio; a material ore body may prove to be below expectations; we may have difficulty integrating and assimilating the operations and personnel of any acquired companies, realizing anticipated synergies and maximizing the financial and strategic position of the combined enterprise, and maintaining uniform standards, policies and controls across the organization; the integration of the acquired business or assets may disrupt our ongoing business and our relationships with employees, customers, suppliers and contractors; and the acquired business or assets may have unknown liabilities which may be significant. In the event that we choose to raise debt capital to finance any such acquisition, our leverage will be increased. If we choose to use equity as consideration for such acquisition, existing shareholders may suffer dilution. Alternatively, we may choose to finance any such acquisition with our existing resources. There can be no assurance that we would be successful in overcoming these risks or any other problems encountered in connection with such acquisitions.

The uranium industry is subject to numerous stringent laws, regulations and standards, including environmental protection laws and regulations. If any changes occur that would make these laws, regulations and standards more stringent, it may require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated or cause substantial delays, which would have a material adverse effect on our operations.

Uranium exploration and pre-extraction programs and mining activities are subject to numerous stringent laws, regulations and standards at the federal, state, and local levels governing permitting, pre-extraction, extraction, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, protection and reclamation of the environment, protection of endangered and protected species, mine safety, hazardous substances and other matters. Our compliance with these requirements requires significant financial and personnel resources.

The laws, regulations, policies or current administrative practices of any government body, organization or regulatory agency in the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction, may change or be applied or interpreted in a manner which may also have a material adverse effect on our operations. The actions, policies or regulations, or changes thereto, of any government body or regulatory agency or special interest group, may also have a material adverse effect on our operations.

Uranium exploration and pre-extraction programs and mining activities are subject to stringent environmental protection laws and regulations at the federal, state, and local levels. These laws and regulations, which include permitting and reclamation requirements, regulate emissions, water storage and discharges and disposal of hazardous wastes. Uranium mining activities are also subject to laws and regulations which seek to maintain health and safety standards by regulating the design and use of mining methods. Various permits from governmental and regulatory bodies are required for mining to commence or continue, and no assurance can be provided that required permits will be received in a timely manner.

Our compliance costs including the posting of surety bonds associated with environmental protection laws and regulations and health and safety standards have been significant to date, and are expected to increase in scale and scope as we expand our operations in the future. Furthermore, environmental protection laws and regulations may become more stringent in the future, and compliance with such changes may require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated or cause substantial delays, which would have a material adverse effect on our operations.

To the best of our knowledge, our operations are in compliance, in all material respects, with all applicable laws, regulations and standards. We may not be able or may elect not to insure against the risk of liability for violations of such laws, regulations and standards, due to high insurance premiums or other reasons. Where coverage is available and not prohibitively expensive relative to the perceived risk, we will maintain insurance against such risk, subject to exclusions and limitations. However, we cannot provide any assurance that such insurance will continue to be available at reasonable premiums or that such insurance will be adequate to cover any resulting liability.

We may not be able to obtain, maintain or amend rights, authorizations, licenses, permits or consents required for our operations.

Our exploration and mining activities are dependent upon the grant of appropriate rights, authorizations, licenses, permits and consents, as well as continuation and amendment of these rights, authorizations, licenses, permits and consents already granted, which may be granted for a defined period of time, or may not be granted or may be withdrawn or made subject to limitations. There can be no assurance that all necessary rights, authorizations, licenses, permits and consents will be granted to us, or that authorizations, licenses, permits and consents already granted will not be withdrawn or made subject to limitations.

Closure and remediation costs for environmental liabilities may exceed the provisions we have made.

Natural resource companies are required to close their operations and rehabilitate the lands in accordance with a variety of environmental laws and regulations. Estimates of the total ultimate closure and rehabilitation costs for uranium operations are significant and based principally on current legal and regulatory requirements and closure plans that may change materially. Any underestimated or unanticipated rehabilitation costs could materially affect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Environmental liabilities are accrued when they become known, are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Whenever a previously unrecognized remediation liability becomes known, or a previously estimated reclamation cost is increased, the amount of that liability and additional cost will be recorded at that time and could materially reduce our consolidated net income in the related period.

The laws and regulations governing closure and remediation in a particular jurisdiction are subject to review at any time and may be amended to impose additional requirements and conditions which may cause our provisions for environmental liabilities to be underestimated and could materially affect our financial position or results of operations.

Major nuclear incidents may have adverse effects on the nuclear and uranium industries.

The nuclear incident that occurred in Japan in March 2011 had significant and adverse effects on both the nuclear and uranium industries. If another nuclear incident were to occur, it may have further adverse effects for both industries. Public opinion of nuclear power as a source of electricity generation may be adversely affected, which may cause governments of certain countries to further increase regulation for the nuclear industry, reduce or abandon current reliance on nuclear power or reduce or abandon existing plans for nuclear power expansion. Any one of these occurrences has the potential to reduce current and/or future demand for nuclear power, resulting in lower demand for uranium and lower market prices for uranium, adversely affecting the Company’s operations and prospects. Furthermore, the growth of the nuclear and uranium industries is dependent on continuing and growing public support of nuclear power as a viable source of electricity generation.

The marketability of uranium concentrates will be affected by numerous factors beyond our control which may result in our inability to receive an adequate return on our invested capital.

The marketability of uranium concentrates extracted by us will be affected by numerous factors beyond our control. These factors include macroeconomic factors, fluctuations in the market price of uranium, governmental regulations, land tenure and use, regulations concerning the importing and exporting of uranium and environmental protection regulations. The future effects of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but any one or a combination of these factors may result in our inability to receive an adequate return on our invested capital.

The only significant market for uranium is nuclear power plants world-wide, and there are a limited number of customers.

We are dependent on a limited number of electric utilities that buy uranium for nuclear power plants. Because of the limited market for uranium, a reduction in purchases of newly produced uranium by electric utilities for any reason (such as plant closings) would adversely affect the viability of our business.

The price of alternative energy sources affects the demand for and price of uranium.

The attractiveness of uranium as an alternative fuel to generate electricity may be dependent on the relative prices of oil, gas, coal and hydro-electricity and the possibility of developing other low-cost sources of energy. If the prices of alternative energy sources decrease or new low-cost alternative energy sources are developed, the demand for uranium could decrease, which may result in a decrease in the price of uranium.

The title to our mineral property interests may be challenged.

Although we have taken reasonable measures to ensure proper title to our interests in mineral properties and other assets, there is no guarantee that the title to any of such interests will not be challenged. No assurance can be given that we will be able to secure the grant or the renewal of existing mineral rights and tenures on terms satisfactory to us, or that governments in the jurisdictions in which we operate will not revoke or significantly alter such rights or tenures or that such rights or tenures will not be challenged or impugned by third parties, including local governments, aboriginal peoples or other claimants. Our mineral properties may be subject to prior unregistered agreements, transfers or claims, and title may be affected by, among other things, undetected defects. A successful challenge to the precise area and location of our claims could result in us being unable to operate on our properties as permitted or being unable to enforce our rights with respect to our properties.

Due to the nature of our business, we may be subject to legal proceedings which may divert management’s time and attention from our business and result in substantial damage awards.

Due to the nature of our business, we may be subject to numerous regulatory investigations, securities claims, civil claims, lawsuits and other proceedings in the ordinary course of our business. The outcome of these lawsuits is uncertain and subject to inherent uncertainties, and the actual costs to be incurred will depend upon many unknown factors. We may be forced to expend significant resources in the defense of these suits, and we may not prevail. Defending against these and other lawsuits in the future may not only require us to incur significant legal fees and expenses, but may become time-consuming for us and detract from our ability to fully focus our internal resources on our business activities. The results of any legal proceeding cannot be predicted with certainty due to the uncertainty inherent in litigation, the difficulty of predicting decisions of regulators, judges and juries and the possibility that decisions may be reversed on appeal. There can be no assurances that these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position or operating results.

Competition from better-capitalized companies affects prices and our ability to acquire both properties and personnel.

There is global competition for uranium properties, capital, customers and the employment and retention of qualified personnel. In the production and marketing of uranium, there are a number of producing entities, some of which are government controlled and all of which are significantly larger and better capitalized than we are. Many of these organizations also have substantially greater financial, technical, manufacturing and distribution resources than we have.

Our future uranium production will also compete with uranium recovered from the de-enrichment of highly enriched uranium obtained from the dismantlement of United States and Russian nuclear weapons and imports to the United States of uranium from the former Soviet Union and from the sale of uranium inventory held by the United States Department of Energy. In addition, there are numerous entities in the market that compete with us for properties and are attempting to become licensed to operate ISR and/or underground mining facilities. If we are unable to successfully compete for properties, capital, customers or employees or with alternative uranium sources, it could have a materially adverse effect on our results of operations.

Because we have limited capital, inherent mining risks pose a significant threat to us compared with our larger competitors.

Because we have limited capital we may be unable to withstand significant losses that can result from inherent risks associated with mining, including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, flooding, earthquake, interruptions due to weather conditions and other acts of nature which larger competitors could withstand. Such risks could result in damage to or destruction of our infrastructure and production facilities, as well as to adjacent properties, personal injury, environmental damage and processing and production delays, causing monetary losses and possible legal liability. Our business could be harmed if we lose the services of our key personnel.

Our business and mineral exploration programs depend upon our ability to employ the services of geologists, engineers and other experts. In operating our business and in order to continue our programs, we compete for the services of professionals with other mineral exploration companies and businesses. In addition, several entities have expressed an interest in hiring certain of our employees. Our ability to maintain and expand our business and continue our exploration programs may be impaired if we are unable to continue to employ or engage those parties currently providing services and expertise to us or identify and engage other qualified personnel to do so in their place. To retain key employees, we may face increased compensation costs, including potential new stock incentive grants and there can be no assurance that the incentive measures we implement will be successful in helping us retain our key personnel.

If we fail to maintain proper and effective internal controls, our ability to produce accurate and timely consolidated financial statements could be impaired, which could harm our operating results, our ability to operate our business and investors’ views of us.

Ensuring that we have adequate internal financial and accounting controls and procedures in place so that we can produce accurate consolidated financial statements on a timely basis is a costly and time-consuming effort that will need to be evaluated frequently. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires public companies to conduct an annual review and evaluation of their internal controls. The Company is in the process of reviewing its internal control over financial reporting in the interest of complying with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Our failure to maintain the effectiveness of our internal controls in accordance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could have a material adverse effect on our business. We could lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could have an adverse effect on the price of our common shares.

The Company may be subject to certain tax consequences in its business, which may increase the cost of doing business.

The Company may not be able to structure its acquisitions to result in tax-free treatment for the companies or their stockholders, which could deter third parties from entering into certain business combinations with the Company or result in being taxed on consideration received in a transaction.

Risks Related to Our Stock

If we are unable to raise additional capital, our business may fail and stockholders may lose their entire investment.

We had $214,482 in cash at December 31, 2015. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional capital after we exhaust our current cash. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of such securities would likely result in substantial dilution to existing stockholders. If we borrow money, we will have to pay interest and may also have to agree to restrictions that limit our operating flexibility.

If additional capital is not available in sufficient amounts or on a timely basis, we will experience liquidity problems, and we could face the need to significantly curtail current operations, change our planned business strategies and pursue other remedial measures. Any curtailment of business operations would have a material negative effect on operating results, the value of our outstanding stock is likely to fall, and our business may fail, causing our stockholders to lose their entire investment.

Shareholders could be diluted if we were to use common shares to raise capital.

We may need to seek additional capital to carry our business plan. This financing could involve one or more types of securities including common shares, convertible debt or warrants to acquire common shares. These securities could be issued at or below the then prevailing market price for our common shares. Any issuance of additional common shares could be dilutive to existing stockholders and could adversely affect the market price of our common shares.

The Company’s common shares may be traded infrequently and in low volumes, which may negatively affect the ability to sell shares.

The Company’s common shares may trade infrequently and in low volumes on the OTC Markets, meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing our common shares at or near bid prices at any given time may be relatively small or non-existent. This situation may be attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we are a small company that is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and others in the investment community who can generate or influence sales volume, and that even if we came to the attention of such institutionally oriented persons, they tend to be risk-averse in this environment and would be reluctant to follow an early stage company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of our shares until such time as we became more seasoned and viable. As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in the Company’s shares is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price.  The Company cannot give you any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for our common shares will develop or be sustained.  Due to these conditions, we can give you no assurance that you will be able to sell your shares at or near bid prices or at all if you need money or otherwise desire to liquidate your shares.  Further, institutional and other investors may have investment guidelines that restrict or prohibit investing in securities traded in the over-the-counter market.  These factors may have an adverse impact on the trading and price of our securities, and could even result in the loss by investors of all or part of their investment.

The Company’s Common Share Price May Be Volatile.

The future trading price of the Company’s common shares may be volatile and may fluctuate substantially. The price of the common shares may be higher or lower than the price you pay for your shares, depending on many factors, some of which are beyond the Company’s control and may not be directly related to its operating performance. These factors include the following:

Due to the continued potential volatility of the stock price, the Company may be the target of securities litigation in the future. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and divert management’s attention and resources from the business.

The sale of shares by our directors and officers may adversely affect the market price for our shares.

Sales of significant amounts of common shares held by our officers and directors, or the prospect of these sales, could adversely affect the market price of our common shares. Management’s stock ownership may discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, which in turn could reduce our stock price or prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over our stock price.

We have never paid or declared any dividends on our common shares.

We have never paid or declared any dividends on our common shares or preferred stock. Likewise, we do not anticipate paying, in the near future, dividends or distributions on our common shares. Any future dividends on common shares will be declared at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend, among other things, on our earnings, our financial requirements for future operations and growth, and other facts as we may then deem appropriate.

Our Chief Executive Officer and one of our directors are also our two largest stockholders, and as a result they can exert control over us and have actual or potential interests that may diverge from yours.

George Glasier, our CEO, and Russell Fryer, one of our Directors, beneficially own, in the aggregate, over 58.5% of our common shares. As a result, these stockholders, acting together, will be able to influence many matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of mergers and other significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change in control, and could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their common shares as part of a sale of our company and may affect the market price of our stock.

Further, Mr. Glasier and Mr. Fryer may have interests that diverge from those of other holders of our common shares. As a result, Mr. Glasier and Mr. Fryer may vote the shares they own or control or otherwise cause us to take actions that may conflict with your best interests as a stockholder, which could adversely affect our results of operations and the trading price of our common shares.

Through this control, Mr. Glasier and Mr. Fryer can control our management, affairs and all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the approval of significant corporate transactions, a sale of our company, decisions about our capital structure and the composition of our Board of Directors.

The following data should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this registration statement.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

We are in the business of exploring, developing, mining and producing from our uranium and vanadium resource properties. Our mineral properties are located on the western Colorado and Utah plateau of south western Colorado and adjacent areas of the western United States. Following our acquisition of Black Range Minerals Limited, a mineral exploration and development company, our primary focus has been on bringing the fully permitted Sunday Mine Complex into production using the Ablation technology, development of the Hansen Project and the commercialization of the Ablation mining technology.

The Sunday Mine Complex is located in western San Miguel County, Colorado. The complex consists of the following five individual mines: the Sunday mine, the Carnation mine, the Saint Jude mine, the West Sunday mine and the Topaz mine. The operation of each of these mines requires a separate permit and all such permits have been obtained by Western and are currently valid. In addition, each of the mines has good access to a paved highway, electric power to existing declines, office/storage/shop and change buildings, and extensive underground haulage development with several vent shafts complete with exhaust fans.

Recent Developments

Acquisition of Black Range Minerals Limited

On September 16, 2015, Western completed its acquisition of Black Range Minerals Ltd., an Australian company that was listed on the Australian Securities Exchange until the acquisition was completed. The purchase price of the acquisition was determined to be $14,669,667 through the issuance of 4,193,809 shares of common stock and stock options to purchase 271,996 shares of common stock. As part of the purchase, Western received mineral properties valued at $10,100,000, intellectual property on ablation of $9,488,051, a building with a fair value of $1,125,000 and restricted cash of $382,362. Also acquired in the purchase were liabilities owed by the Black Range Minerals Ltd. Which included accounts payable and accrued expenses of $396,145, a mortgage on the building of $1,051,000, a credit facility of $363,074 and a deferred exercise price payable of $500,000.

February 2015 Private Placement

On February 4, 2015, the Company completed a private placement raising gross proceeds of CAD $1,760,000 (US$1,453,602) through the issuance of 640,000 common shares at a price of CAD $2.75 (US$2.27) per common share. In connection with this private placement, the Company paid broker fees, legal fees and other expenses of US$99,809.

December 2015 Private Placement

On December 31, 2015, the Company commenced a non-brokered Canadian private placement, raising gross proceeds of $216,032 (“the Offering”) for the issuance of 101,009 common share units at a price of $2.14 per each common share unit, each unit consisting of one (1) common share plus one full common share purchase warrant – each full common share purchase warrant shall entitle the holder to purchase one common share at the exercise price of CAD $3.50 or US $2.52 as of December 31, 2015, for a term of five years from the closing date of the offering. Of the $216,032 raised, $198,298 was received in December of 2015 while the remaining $17,734 was received in February of 2016. As of December 31, 2015, the Company accounted for the $198,298 of proceeds as subscription payable.

Extension of Short Term Loans

On December 16, 2015, the Company successfully negotiated the extension of the $250,000 Siebels Note to June 16, 2016.

On February 8, 2016, the Company successfully negotiated the extension of the $250,180 Nueco Note.

April 2016 Private Placement

During April 2016 the Company completed a private placement raising gross proceeds of CAD $680,760 (US$543,456) through the issuance of 400,447 common shares at a price of CAD $1.70 (US$1.36) per common share, and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 400,447 common shares at an exercise price of CAD $1.70 per share. The warrants are exercisable immediately and expire on April 30, 2021.

Our consolidated net loss for the year ended December 31, 2015 and the period ended December 31, 2014 was $1,587,959 and $363,605 or $0.12 and $0.03 per share, respectively. The principal components of these year over year changes are discussed below.

Year ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2014

Financial Position

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $1,199,308 for the year ended December 31, 2015, as compared with $380,631 for the period ended December 31, 2014. The increase of $818,677 in cash used is mainly due the Company having an increased net loss of $1,224,354 off-set by an increase in change in operating assets and liabilities of $282,827 and the impairment of the building of $94,000 in 2015.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $378,694 for the year ended December 31, 2015. Net cash used in investing activities was $945,374 for the year ended December 31, 2014. The decrease in cash used for investing activities is mainly due to the fact that in 2015 the only cash used for investing was the advance on the credit facility to Black Range, while in 2014 cash used was mainly due to the investment in restricted cash of $653,734 along with the acquisition on mining properties of $526,781, off-set by the cash acquired as part of the reverse takeover of $235,141.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $1,548,745 as compared to $1,501,100 for the period ended December 31, 2014. The financing activities in 2015 were related to the sales of common stock in the February 2015 and December 2015 private placements for an aggregate of 640,000 shares valued at $1,353,793, proceeds from subscription payable and proceeds of $250,000 from the Siebels note, off-set by a payment on the Nueco Note of $253,346. For 2014, the cash provided by financing activities was mainly from the issuance of 1,100,000 common shares for $1,499,000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s cash balance as of December 31, 2015 was $214,482. The Company’s cash position is highly dependent on the ability to raise cash through financings and the expenditures incurred on exploration programs. The Company expects to require significant additional capital in order to continue the development of the ablation mining technology and to begin the mining of minerals.

Pursuant to the Company’s objectives for raising capital, on April 28, 2016 the Company completed a private placement raising gross proceeds of CAD $680,760 (US$543,456) through the issuance of 400,447 common shares at a price of CAD $1.70 (US$1.36) per common share, and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 400,447 common shares at an exercise price of CAD $1.70 per share. The warrants are exercisable immediately and expire on April 30, 2021.

Going Concern

The Company has a working capital deficit of $2,711,800 as at December 31, 2015 and during the year ended December 31, 2015 has incurred a net loss of $1,587,959. The Company will require additional financing in order to pursue its business plans and discharge its liabilities as they come due. These conditions indicate the existence of material uncertainties that cast significant doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared using United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“US GAAP”) applicable to a going concern. Accordingly, they do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. In this circumstance, the Company would be required to realize its assets and liquidate its liabilities and commitments in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Such adjustments could be material.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

As at December 31, 2015, there were no off-balance sheet transactions. The Company has not entered into any specialized financial agreements to minimize its investment risk, currency risk or commodity risk.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.

Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made at the end of the reporting period, that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, in the event that actual results differ from assumptions made, include, but are not limited to, the following:

Mineral Properties and Intangible Assets

We review and evaluate the Company’s long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Impairment is considered to exist if the total estimated future cash flows on an undiscounted basis are less than the carrying amount of the assets. An impairment loss is measured and recorded based on discounted estimated future cash flows or upon an estimate of fair value that may be received in an exchange transaction. Future cash flows are estimated based on estimated quantities of recoverable minerals, expected U3O8 prices (considering current and historical prices, trends and related factors), production levels, operating costs of production and capital and restoration and reclamation costs, based upon the projected remaining future uranium production from each project. The Company’s long-lived assets (which include its mineral assets and ablation intellectual property) were acquired during the end of 2014 and in 2015 in arms-length transactions. The Company determined that there were not sufficient changes in the market value of uranium on the spot market to justify an impairment. Estimates and assumptions used to assess recoverability of the Company’s long-lived assets and measure fair value of our uranium properties are subject to risk uncertainty. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could result in the impairment of its long-lived assets. In estimating future cash flows, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of future cash flows from other asset groups.    

Restoration and Remediation Costs (Asset Retirement Obligations)

Various federal and state mining laws and regulations require the Company to reclaim the surface areas and restore underground water quality for its mine projects to the pre-existing mine area average quality after the completion of mining.

Future reclamation and remediation costs, which include extraction equipment removal and environmental remediation, are accrued at the end of each period based on management's best estimate of the costs expected to be incurred for each project. Such estimates are determined by the Company's engineering studies which consider the costs of future surface and groundwater activities, current regulations, actual expenses incurred, and technology and industry standards.

In accordance with ASC 410, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations, the Company capitalizes the measured fair value of asset retirement obligations to mineral properties. The asset retirement obligations are accreted to an undiscounted value until the time at which they are expected to be settled. The accretion expense is charged to earnings and the actual retirement costs are recorded against the asset retirement obligations when incurred. Any difference between the recorded asset retirement obligations and the actual retirement costs incurred will be recorded as a gain or loss in the period of settlement.

At each reporting period, the Company reviews the assumptions used to estimate the expected cash flows required to settle the asset retirement obligations, including changes in estimated probabilities, amounts and timing of the settlement of the asset retirement obligations, as well as changes in the legal obligation requirements at each of its mineral properties. Changes in any one or more of these assumptions may cause revision of asset retirement obligations for the corresponding assets.

Our principal executive offices are located at 700-10 King Street East, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5C 1C3. We lease one office at that location, which contains approximately 100 square feet of office space.

PROPERTIES AND EXPLORATION PROJECTS

On September 16, 2015, in connection with the Black Range Transaction, the Company acquired additional mineral properties. The mining assets acquired through Black Range include leased land in the states of Colorado, Wyoming and Alaska. None of these mining assets are operational at this time. As these properties have not formally established proven or probable reserves, there may be greater inherent uncertainty as to whether or not any mineralized material can be economically extracted as originally planned and anticipated.

The Company’s mining properties acquired on August 18, 2014, include: San Rafael Uranium Project located in Emery County, Utah; The Sunday Mine Complex located in western San Miguel County, Colorado; The Van 4 Mine located in western Montrose County, Colorado; The Yellow Cat Project located in eastern Grand County, Utah; The Farmer Girl Mine project located in Montrose County, Colorado; The Sage Mine project located in San Juan County, Utah, and San Miguel County, Colorado USA, and the Dunn Project located in San Juan County, Utah.

The Company’s mining properties acquired on September 16, 2015, include Hansen, North Hansen, High Park, Hansen Picnic Tree, Taylor Ranch, Boyer Ranch, located in Fremont County, Colorado. The Company also acquired Jonesville Coal located in Palmer Recording District, Alaska and Keota located in Weld County, Wyoming.

The Property

The Sunday Mine Complex is located in western San Miguel County and is part of the Uravan Mineral Belt. The property is situated 25 miles north of Dove Creek, Colorado, on the north flake of Disappointment Valley and portions of Big Gypsum Valley. Energy Fuels Resources (USA) Inc. (“EFR”) acquired the property in June 2012 from Denison Mines Corp. The complex consists of five individual mines with declines located along a two mile stretch of the southern side of Big Gypsum Valley, with underground workings extending generally south, with associated vents and surface facilities. The mines are, from east to west: Sunday, Carnation, Saint Jude, West Sunday, and Topaz. The mines were last actively mined from 2007 to 2009.

The property consists of 221 unpatented claims on public land managed by the BLM Tres Rios Field Office, covering approximately 3,800 acres. The area covers parts of sections 10, 13, 14, 15, 23, 24, and 26 T44N R18W, and sections 18, 19, 20, and 30 T44N R17W. Total annual BLM claim maintenance fee are approximately $34,255 due September 1st each year. The Sunday Complex is approximately 75 miles from the White Mesa Mill and 50 miles from the proposed Piñon Ridge Mill in Paradox Valley.

GMG, Sunshine, and Patsun claims (totaling twenty claims in the northeast portion of the property) carry a 12.5% royalty on all ore produced.

Geol., LLC was commissioned by Western Uranium Corporation to prepare an Independent Technical Report compliant with the Canadian National Instrument 43-101 on the Sunday Mine Complex Uranium (SMC) Project, an advanced-stage uranium property. The report was finalized on July 7, 2015.

Accessibility

The property is best accessed from Colorado. Access from Colorado is via State Highway 141 east out of Naturita, CO for about 3.7 mi (6 km) until the 141/145 Highway junction, then about 22.4 mi (36 km) south on Hwy 141, then about 6.2 mi (10 km) northwest on County Road 20R (Gypsum Valley Road). The State Highway 141 is a paved all-weather road and the County Road 20R is a gravel road passable in all but the worst weather.

History

The Sunday Mine Complex consists of six different mines. These are the Topaz, West Sunday, Sunday, St. Jude, Carnation, and the GMG. The mines have had a number of owners and operators. Maps and documents made available to the author show that the following companies have been involved in the all or parts of the property prior to WUC acquisition of the SMC in April 2014: Matterhorn Mining (1950’s-1960’s, Climax Uranium 1960’s, Union Carbide Corporation (UCC) 1970’s-1980’s, Atlas Minerals (1980’s), Energy Fuels Nuclear (early 1990’s), International Uranium Corp. (1990’s-2000’s), Denison Mines (USA) (2000’s), and Energy Fuels (2010’s). The documents are incomplete as so this list may be as well. Since UCC days, the ownership has been clear. In 1983 Union Carbide transferred its mineral interests to UMETCO, a wholly-owned subsidiary. For the sake of consistency, the name Union Carbide will be used even if technically the ownership was UMETCO at the time.

Records made available to the author by WUC and a search of public documents on-line indicates exploration drilling starting on the property in the early 1950’s. Two Defense Minerals Exploration Administration (DMEA) reports, one on the Sunday area and the other on the Topaz area, indicated some drilling and minor surface extraction had occurred by the mid 1950’s (DMEA, 1953 & 1956). Additionally, historic maps of the area show the Sunday mines in operation in the 1950’s (Denison Mines, 2008).

The records & anecdotal evidence indicate that from the mid-1960’s until the early 1980’s, the SMC produced material from relatively steady ongoing mining operations. These ceased in 1984 when Union Carbide closed their Uravan mill. Since then, the property has been idle, with the exception of brief periods in the late 1980’s when UCC mined for a short time during a spike in vanadium prices, in the mid-1990’s with International Uranium Corporation and and another one in 2006-2009 when Denison Mines extracted ore from the mine. During all three periods, the ore was processed at the White Mesa Mill located just south of Blanding, UT.

Exploration and development drilling on the property was contemporaneous with the mining. The available database records show that at least 1,419 holes have been drilled on the property. This is an incomplete list, as an examination of the available maps and cross-sections show a number of holes that are not in the database. A best estimate for total distance drilled is about 850,100 ft (259,175 m). Anecdotal evidence and some maps also give evidence that underground long holes (test holes drilled from the mine workings anywhere from 50 ft (15 m) to 300 ft (91 m) long) were used extensively throughout the mined areas.

The 2-D digitized mine workings, done by Denison Mines show extensive stopping and drifting within parts of the SMC. Generational mime maps indicate that more mine workings exist than are shown in the digital database. A very conservative rough estimate of the linear mine workings based on the digital database is in excess of 50,000 ft (15,244 m) with many stopes. Figure 6.2.1 shows the known drill hole and mine working locations.

Based on the records and on field inspection, it is evident that the Property has a significant history of drill exploration and mine development.

Project Geology

Geologically, the main hosts for uranium-vanadium mineralization in the Sunday Mine Complex are fluvial sandstone beds assigned to the upper part of the Salt Wash Member of the Jurassic Morrison Formation, with minor production coming from conglomeratic sandstones assigned to the lower portion of the Brushy Basin Member of the Morrison Formation. Mineralization from both members is present at the property, with the mine production coming from the Salt Wash Member. Beds generally strike NW-SE and dip SW, with some exceptions within fault bounded blocks adjacent to Big Gypsum Valley.

Restoration and Reclamation

Each of the mines are permitted separately with the DRMS and are considered to be in temporary cessation status. The mines and their permitted acres and reclamation bonds are, from east to west, the Sunday (60 acres, $304,184), Carnation (9.8 acres, $33,409), Saint Jude (9.8 acres, $47,700), West Sunday (12.1 acres, $86,155), and Topaz (30 acres, $94,791).

Permitting Status

Each of the mines are permitted separately with the DRMS and are considered to be in temporary cessation status. The mines and their permitted acres and reclamation bonds are, from east to west, the Sunday (60 acres, $297,926), Carnation (9.8 acres, $22,468), Saint Jude (9.8 acres, $47,700), West Sunday (12.1 acres, $85,036), and Topaz (30 acres, $94,791). The air permits for the site are currently being renewed with APCD. A Stormwater permit is in place with the WQCD and a Stormwater Management Plan is in effect. However, a mine water treatment plant will need to be permitted for treating mine water, as there is currently 55 million gallons of water in the lower portion of the mine where most of the remaining resource is located. This will require a discharge permit with the DWQC and revisions to the Plan of Operations, EPP, and one of the DRMS mine permits. Special Use Permits are also in place with San Miguel County, which mainly address road maintenance and transportation issues with some limitations in effect on when and how many trucks may be used for ore haulage to the mill. 

Major permits currently in place at the Sunday Complex include:

The Property

The San Rafael Uranium Project land position is comprised of a contiguous claim block covered by 136 BM unpatented federal lode mining claims and 10 Hollie unpatented federal lode mining claims, and the State Section 36 Mineral Lease area.

The San Rafael Project is located in the historic Tidwell District about 10 miles west of Green River, Utah. Most of the property is north of Interstate Highway 70 at the Hanksville exit.

Energy Fuels became operator of the San Rafael Project when it acquired Magnum Minerals in June 2009. It consisted of two core uranium deposits, the Deep Gold and the Down Yonder. In January 2011, EFR acquired the 10 Hollie claims from Titan Uranium. These claims covered the eastern portion of the Deep Gold deposit, greatly increasing resources. WUC currently holds 146 claims in the project area and one Utah State lease where much of the Down Yonder deposit is located.

Magnum’s acquisition of the claims and some of the data Magnum purchased encumbers the claims. This includes a 2% Net Smelter Return royalty to Uranium One, successor to Energy Metals for claims acquired by Magnum as earn-in to a JV, and a 2% net sales price royalty to Kelly Dearth on the BM claims and a 0.5% royalty on production from the State lease as a result of data purchased from Dearth. The State lease will carry the standard royalties of 8% on uranium and 4% on vanadium due to Utah. There is no royalty on the Hollie claims.

The unpatented claims are located on approximately 2,900 acres of land administered by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management in sections 13, 14, 23, 24, 25, 26, and 35, T21S, R14E, SLPM, Emery County, Utah. The State lease (ML-49311) covers all of section 36 (640 acre), T21S, R14E, SLPM. Holding cost is $640 per year for the lease and $22,630 due to BLM for claim maintenance fees prior to September 1 each year. The San Rafael Project is located approximately 152 miles from the White Mesa Mill at Blanding, Utah. It would be about 139 miles to the Pinon Ridge mill proposed by EFRC near Naturita, Colorado.

Accessibility

The property is located on the eastern side of the San Rafael Swell in east-central Utah, approximately 140 air miles southeast of Salt Lake City. The little desert community of Green River, Utah is located about ten miles to the east. In a general sense the San Rafael Uranium Project property position lies within a wedge shaped area, roughly bound along its northeast edge by US Highway 6-50 and along its southeast edge by Interstate 70.

Concerning additional local access features, U.S. Highway 6-50 crosses just north of the greater San Rafael Uranium Project area in a northwesterly direction and is roughly paralleled by the regional railroad line. Access to the property is generally good year around, except for periods of heavy snowstorms during December through February and increased monsoon rains and summer cloudburst storms during August through October. Access for drilling and other exploration activity is excellent, except during occasional heavy rainy periods which can create heavy flash flooding and roads mudding-up and becoming impassable.

History

The two core uranium deposits of the San Rafael Project, the Down Yonder and Deep Gold, were originally discovered by Continental Oil Company (Conoco) and Pioneer Uravan geologists in the late 1960s and 1970s to early 1980s, respectively. Exploration drilling was conducted just east of the core of the Tidwell Mineral Belt and north-northeast of the Acerson Mineral Belt. The area containing the deposits was considered to contain highly prospective paleo trunk stream channel trends. Some of the larger historic producing mines in the area were Atlas Minerals’ Snow, Probe, and Lucky Mines. The deposits in the San Rafael Project are pen concordant, channel-controlled, sandstone-hosted, trend type, with mineralization hosted in the upper sandstone sequence of the Salt Wash Member of the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation.

In addition to Conoco, Pioneer Uravan, and Atlas Minerals, the US Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) and other companies (Union Carbide, Energy Fuels Nuclear, and others) conducted exploration drilling and mining in the area. Some of these companies performed historic resource estimates on both the Down Yonder and Deep Gold deposits, but, they are not considered compliant with NI 43-101 standards. These resource estimates are of historical importance, were generated by senior mining companies with significant uranium exploration and production experience and are considered as relevant checks to this updated Technical Report.

Approximately 450,000 feet of historic drilling, conventional and core, from about 450 holes, was conducted in the areas of the Deep Gold and Down Yonder deposits. Depth to mineralization at the Deep Gold deposit in Section 23 averages 800 feet, with hole depths averaging approximately 1,000 feet. The depth to mineralization at the Down Yonder deposit in Section 36 averages 970 feet, with hole depths averaging approximately 800 feet in Section 35 and about 1,100 feet in Section 36. Magnum purchased and otherwise acquired most of the available historic exploration data produced by the previous operators. A 100 hole, 100,000 foot drilling program is warranted to discover and define additional uranium resources. Total cost for this work would be $US 1.3 million to $US 1.5 million, based on an all-inclusive cost of $US 15/foot.

The Tidwell Mineral Belt and the San Rafael Uranium District have been the sites of considerable historic exploration drilling and production, with over 4 million pounds of uranium and 5.4 million pounds of vanadium produced. Production from the Snow, immediately up dip of the Deep Gold deposit, which produced for nine years, starting in March 1973 and ending in January, 1982 consisted of 650,292 pounds of U3O8 contained in 173,330 tons of material at an average grade of 0.188% U3O8 (Wilbanks, 1982).

Project Geology

The uranium-vanadium deposits occur in the upper sandstones of the Salt Wash Member of the Morrison Formation.

The combined Indicated Mineral Resource for the entire San Rafael Project comprises a resource of 758,000 tons @ 0.225% U3O8 containing 3,404,600 lbs U3O8 and an Inferred Mineral Resource of 453,800 tons @ 0.205% U3O8 containing 1,859,500 lbs U3O8. Using the historic District average recovered U3O8:V2O5 ratio of 1:1.35, this same tonnage could yield Indicated Mineral Resources of approximately 4,596,000 pounds V2O5 at an average grade of 0.30% V2O5. The same Inferred Mineral Resource tonnage could yield approximately 2,510,000 pounds V2O5 at an average grade of 0.28% V2O5.

Restoration and Reclamation

All exploration permits have been terminated and all bonds released. An EA was completed by BLM in 2008 for drilling up to 150 holes. A large area has been surveyed for cultural and paleontological resources which would expedite future exploration permits. No mine permitting activities have yet occurred.

The Property

On July 1, 2014 PRM concluded a deal with EFR to acquire 44 contiguous unpatented mining claims on the Utah side of the Colorado-Utah state line at the head of Summit Canyon at the south end of the Uravan Mineral Belt. The acquisition includes a Utah State Mineral Lease covering two nearby parcels (733 acres). The State lease will carry the standard royalties of 8% on uranium and 4% on vanadium due to Utah, plus a 1% override to Butt.

The 94 unpatented claims are located on approximately 1,942 acres land administered by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management in sections 34 and 35, T32S, R26E, SLPM, San Juan County, Utah and sections 25 and 26, T43N, R20W, NMPM, and sections 19, 29, 30, 31, and 32, T43N, R19W, NMPM San Miguel County, Colorado.  The State lease (ML-49301) covers all of section 16 (640 acre) and the fractional section 2 (93 acres), T33S, R26E, SLPM.  Holding cost is $733 per year for the lease and $14,570 due to BLM for claim maintenance fees prior to September 1 each year. The Sage Mine is located approximately 56 miles from the White Mesa Mill at Blanding, Utah.  It would be about 78 miles to the Piñon Ridge mill proposed by EFRC near Naturita, Colorado.

Accessibility

The Sage Plain Project property can be accessed from the north, south, and east on paved, all-weather county roads. The nearest towns with stores, restaurants, lodging, and small industrial supply retailers are Monticello, Utah, 26 road miles to the west, and Dove Creek, Colorado, 20 road miles to the southeast. Larger population centers with more supplies and services are available farther away at Moab, Utah (61 road miles to the north) and Cortez, Colorado (54 road miles to the southeast).

U.S. Highway 491 connects Monticello, Utah to Dove Creek and Cortez, Colorado. There are two routes north from this highway to the project. At one mile west of the Colorado/Utah state line (16 miles east of Monticello or 10 miles west of Dove Creek), San Juan County Road 370 goes north for 10 miles to the Calliham Mine portal site drive way. The mine portal is one-half mile east of Road 370, on a private road. An alternate route is to turn north on Colorado Highway 141(2 miles west of Dove Creek) for 9.5 miles to Egnar, Colorado, then turn west on San Miguel County Road H1. Road H1 for 1.2 miles before intersecting San Juan County Road 370. Road 370 would be taken north for 4 miles to the Calliham Mine portal site driveway. Road H1 from Egnar would also be used if one was traveling to the project on Highway 141from farther north in Colorado, such as Naturita, Colorado (a total of 62 miles away).

History

The property includes the historic producing Sage Mine and boarders the famous Deremo Mine and the Calliham Mine (combined historic production of over 8 million lbs. U3O8 and 70 million lbs. V2O5). The uranium-vanadium deposits occur in the upper and middle sandstones of the Salt Wash Member of the Morrison Formation. Deposits in this part of the Uravan Mineral Belt have a high V2O5: U3O8 ratio.

WUC is in possession of historic mine and drill maps. About 200 historic holes were drilled on the claims at the Sage Mine. A considerable, but unknown amount of drilling occurred historically on the eastern (Colorado) part of the claims along the benches of Summit and Bishop Canyons. Historic production from several small mines occurred on the Colorado claims (Red Ant, Black Spider, etc.) More than 50 holes were drilled on the SITLA ML-49301 parcels.

In the fall of 2011, CPP drilled seven holes totaling 4,873 feet at the Sage Mine property to confirm historic map data and explore for a possible east-west channel connecting the mine to a mineralized body to the west. The drilling was successful in meeting the objectives of confirming the accuracy of the historic data and verifying a historically defined mineralized body. One hole exploring a possible mineralized trend connecting the mine to the western mineralized body intercepted 2.0 feet of 0.407% eU3O8. Another hole intercepted mineralization greater than 1.0 foot of 0.16% eU3O8.

Energy Fuels filed a NI43-101 Technical Report on its Sage Plain Project (Technical Report on Colorado Plateau Partners LLC (Energy Fuel Resources Corporation/Lynx-Royal JV) Sage Plain Project, San Juan County, Utah and San Miguel County, Colorado by Douglas C. Peters, Certified Professional Geologist, Peters Geosciences Golden, Colorado December 16, 2011). That report states the Sage Mine portion of compliant resources in the Measured plus Indicated categories of 100,000 tons containing 459,640 lbs. U3O8 (0.23%) and 3,350,000 lbs. V2O5 (1.67%), plus Inferred Resources of 41,280 tons containing 122,265 lbs. U3O8 (0.15%) and 1,485,223 lbs. V2O5 (1.80%).

Umetco historic report (Hollingsworth, 1991; not presently 43-101 compliant) states mineral resources on the SITLA lease ML-49301 are 344,880 lbs. U3O8 and 2,995,000 lbs. V2O5, contained in roughly 84,800 tons of material at grades of 0.195% U3O8 and 1.60% V2O5.

Restoration and Reclamation

An exploration bond is posted with the Utah Division of Oil Gas and Mining for the amount of $30,946. 

Permitting Status

The Sage Mine is a small underground mine with a relatively high vanadium grade that is located 15 miles east of Monticello, Utah. The mine is located on unpatented BLM claims and is accessed via a decline and a single vent shaft. The portal of the decline has collapsed and has been backfilled for safety reasons. The site contains a waste dump, water well, and several old steel buildings on a total surface disturbance of 4 acres. The mine is flooded and contains approximately 11 million gallons of water; however, the mine makes less than 5 gpm from a perched aquifer intercepted by the decline. The Sage Mine was developed, operated, and permitted by Atlas Minerals in the 1970s. It closed in 1982 and was ultimately sold and the permit transferred to Butt Mining Company under a Small Mine NOI. Jim Butt operated the mine for a short time in the early 1990s when vanadium prices were high; however, the mine has been idle since that time. Although the mine is permitted (S/037/0058) and bonded ($30,946) for reclamation with DOGM, it is not permitted with the BLM as it was developed prior to current BLM permitting requirements. Energy Fuels submitted an Exploration NOI to the BLM in March 2013 for the site thereby establishing a nominal permit for the facility. Permitting for mine expansion was started in 2012, but was discontinued due to other priorities. This work included installing 3 monitoring wells around a proposed portable water treatment plant (exploration permit E/037/0188; bond $16,020) and conducting baseline studies (archeology, biology, groundwater). Eight baseline groundwater sampling events have been completed, which will allow for submittal of a complete groundwater discharge permit application to DWQ.  Because of its location on BLM managed land, an EA will need to be prepared for the site by a third-party contractor once a Plan of Operations is submitted for the mine operation. An amendment to the Small Mine NOI will also be needed with DOGM to allow for mine expansion. 

Existing permits include:

Exploration permit with the Utah Division of Oil Gas and Mining.

The Property

The 11 unpatented claims are located on approximately 220 acres land administered by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management in sections 14 and 15, T32S, R25E, SLPM, San Juan County, Utah. The private lease covers the W1/2NW1/4 section 13, the NE1/4 and the W1/2SE1/4 section 14, T32S, R25E. The Dunn Mine is located approximately 55 miles from the White Mesa Mill at Blanding, Utah. It would be about 85 miles to the Piñon Ridge mill proposed near Naturita, Colorado. Holding costs of the 11 claims will be $1,705 due to BLM before September 1 each year.

Accessibility

Access to the Dunn project is from West Summit Road (San Juan County Road 313), 10.8 miles north of the junction with U.S. Highway 491. West Summit Road is a two-lane paved road that is well maintained year round. At 10.8 miles, a graveled Class D County Road (unnamed), spurs off of West Summit Road, passes through the leased lands and terminates at the Dunn Portal at approximately 2.1 miles from the spur. The nearest town to the Dunn project is Monticello, Utah which is approximately 65 miles away. The closest commercial airport cacilities are located in Cortez, Colorado, approximately 65 miles to the southeast, and Moab, Utah approximately 65 miles to the northwest; both airports have daily commercial flights to-and-from Denver International Airport.

History

Energy Fuels Resources began discussions with American Strategic Minerals Corporation (Amicor) and Kyle Kimmerle in late 2012 concerning acquisition of the Dunn Mine property. At that time the property consisted of seven claims owned by Kimmerle, a private lease held by Amicor, and four other claims held in a partnership by Thompson and Glasier. The partnership claims had lapsed by non-payment of the 2012 BLM maintenance fees. EFR staked new claims to cover the ground of the abandoned claims in late January 2013. In July, 2013, EFR concluded two deals to consolidate the Dunn Mine property: 1) EFR issued stock to Amicor to acquire the private lease holding (J.H. Ranch mineral rights, John Skidmore, owner) and 2) paid $5,000 cash to purchase Kimmerle’s seven claims. The property lies in Bear Trap Canyon, a tributary at the head of East Canyon. This is midway between the EFR Rim Mine and the Calliham/Sage mine area.

The property includes the historic Dunn Mine. The portal and decline is on the claims (BLM), but most of the resource is on private un leased property. It consists of a 3,850 feet decline which has some caved areas. The mine shut down in the mid-1980s with only limited development completed and very little production. The uranium-vanadium deposits occur in the upper and middle sandstones of the Salt Wash Member of the Morrison Formation. Deposits in this part of the Uravan Mineral Belt have a high V2O5: U3O8 ratio.

Project Geology

Amicor had a NI43-101 Technical Report prepared on its Dunn Project (Technical Report on American Strategic Minerals Corporation’s Dunn Project, San Juan County, Utah by Dr. David A. Gonzales, PhD, PG, Durango, Colorado March 23, 2012). That report states the Dunn Mine resources in the Indicated category of 139,357 tons containing 360,716 lbs. U3O8 (0.13%) and 2,885,731 lbs. V2O5 (1.04%), plus Inferred Resources of 69,310 tons containing 200,815 lbs. U3O8 (0.14%) and 1,606,518 lbs. V2O5 (1.16%). About 16% of the known resource is on the claims and 84% on the JH Ranch lease which WUC does not control. There is a property gap (about 40 acres) not controlled by EFR that may contain additional resources

The Property

Farmer Girl Mine project is located in the Vixen District of the Uravan Mineral Belt, on Martin Mesa, six miles northwest of Uravan, Colorado. The claims lie in sections 22, 23 and 27, T48N, R18W, NMPM, in Montrose County, Colorado. The area encompassed by the claims is approximately 450 acres. The land covered by the unpatented claims is administered by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. The Farmer Girl portal is located at latitude 380 23’ 56” N, longitude 1080 50’ 07” W, at an elevation of 5,820 feet. The Farmer Girl claims are located approximately 140 miles from the White Mesa Mill at Blanding, Utah. It would be about 37 miles to the Piñon Ridge mill proposed by EFRC near Naturita, Colorado.

The Farmer Girl consists of 22 unpatented mining claims and 7 patented mining claims leased by WUC for an annual advance royalty fee of $15,000.

Accessibility

The Farmer Girl is accessed via traveling north from Naturita, Colorado for 24 miles on U.S. Highway 141. At the 24 mile point turn north-northwest onto the gravel R13 RD and follow it south for 2.5 miles until the spur with S13 RD. Wind up S13 RD for 1.5 miles to the south end of the property claims.

History

This district has seen production of radium, vanadium, and uranium ores since the 1920’s. The underground mine on the Farmer Girl property, and surrounding area, within one mile of the claim group perimeter, had produced 151,770 pounds U3O8 (average 0.29% U3O8) and 752,089 pounds V2O5, (average 1.47% V2O5) before 1971. Production was derived from fluvial sandstones, mostly in the lower part of the Salt Wash Member of the Morrison Formation of Jurassic age. Most of the middle part and all of the upper sandstones of the Salt Wash have been removed by erosion. The last production was in 1989, ceasing due to depressed uranium prices.

Project Geology

The deposit is located mostly in the lower part of the Salt Wash Member of the Morrison Formation of Jurassic age. Most of the middle part and all of the upper sandstones of the Salt Wash have been removed by erosion.

There are NI43-101 compliant resources in the Measured+Indicated of 11,526 tons containing 74,200 lbs. U3O8 (0.32%) and 371,100 lbs. V2O5 (1.61%), plus historic (non NI43-101 compliant) 150,000 lbs.

The Project is located in Fremont County, in South Central Colorado approximately 30 miles northwest of the city of Canon City. Canon City is the closest population center, and had a population of 16,400 in 2010. The largest metropolitan area in close proximity to the Project is Colorado Springs which is located approximately 46 miles northeast of Canon City and has a population of approximately 416,000. Figure 1 shows the locations of these population centers with respect to the Project.

For ground travel, Canon City is best accessed from Denver/Colorado Springs via I-25 south to State Highway 115 which intersects Highway 50 just east of Canon City. For air travel, alternatives include the Colorado Springs Municipal Airport (COS), which is a 16-gate facility served by 14 airlines and Denver’s International Airport (DEN), which is 149 miles from Canon City. There is a small airport, Fremont County Airport (CNE), located in Canon City, which is open to private flights.

History

Uranium mineralization was discovered in the Tallahassee Creek District in 1954 by two groups of prospectors. Between 1954 and 1972, 16 small open pit and underground mines were operated in the district. Discoveries, and most producing mines and production were in the Tallahassee Creek Conglomerate, with one mine, the Smaller Mine, producing from the Echo Park Formation. Exploration efforts were minimal until Rampart Exploration Company (Rampart), under contract to Cyprus, explored the Taylor Ranch area beginning in 1974 and discovered the Hansen Uranium Deposit along with other uranium deposits in the district. Cyprus took the Hansen and Picnic Tree deposits through a positive final feasibility analysis in 1980 for an open-pit mining and conventional uranium milling operation, and secured all necessary operating permits in 1981. The collapse of the uranium market led to Cyprus abandoning the project which lay dormant until Black Range Minerals began activities in late 2006.

Black Range Mineral’s Taylor Ranch Project, CO, consists of a combination of private, BLM and State Section minerals, and private, BLM and State Section surface rights. Ownership of the private minerals and surface has mainly been by local ranchers. Western Nuclear held a portion of the property briefly in 1968. Cyprus gained control of mineral and surface rights during the period 1975-1978.

In 1993, Cyprus sold their Tallahassee Creek holdings to Noah (Buddy) and Diane Taylor who had managed ranching activities on the property for Cyprus. The Taylors were not able to make the final payment to Cyprus and sold the southern portion of their holdings including the Hansen and Picnic Tree deposits to New Mexico and Arizona Land (now NZ Minerals) in 1996 who, in 1998, sold the property to South T-Bar Ranch, a subsidiary of Colorado developer Land Properties, while reserving a 49% interest in the minerals.

This part of Cyprus’ prior holdings was subdivided, mainly into 35-acre parcels. Beginning in December 2006, through various purchases, leases and option agreements, Black Range Minerals has obtained mineral rights to most of the original Cyprus holdings. Black Range Minerals has 22 options to purchase surface rights in the Hansen area (an additional 12 would cover 100% of the Hansen area), but these options expire at the end of 2012 and will have to be re-negotiated. These surface owners are financially motivated to lease or sell their surface rights to BLR as the surface owners own 51% of the mineral rights on the Hansen Deposit.

Project Geology

The deposits that make up the Project are tabular sandstone deposits associated with redox interfaces. The mineralisation is hosted in Tertiary sandstones and/or clay bearing conglomerates within an extinct braided stream, fluvial system or palaeo channel. Mineralisation occurred post sediment deposition when oxygenated uraniferous groundwater moving through the host rocks came into contact with redox interfaces, the resultant chemical change caused the precipitation of uranium oxides. The most common cause of redox interfaces is the presence of carbonaceous material that was deposited simultaneously with the host sediments. In parts of the Project the palaeochannel has been covered by Tertiary volcanic rocks and throughout the Project basement consists of Pre-Cambrian plutonics and metamorphic rocks. The volcanic and Pre-Cambrian rocks are believed to be the source of the uranium.

The mineral resource estimate comprises total Indicated and Inferred mineral resources of 90.4 Mlbs of U3O8, at an average grade of 0.06% U3O8, applying a cut-off grade of 0.025% and 43.6 Mlbs of U3O8, at an average grade of 0.12% U3O8, applying a cut-off grade of 0.075%,

Restoration and Reclamation.

BRM has a bond of $154,936 with the DRMS covering exploration activities for the project.

Permitting Status

The project currently has an exploration permit through the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety as well as a Conditional Use Permit with the Fremont County Planning and Zoning Department.

The Property

The Van#4 is located in the Uravan Mineral Belt on Monogram Mesa in Montrose County, Colorado. The property had been held by Denison and its predecessors for many years. The property consists of 80 unpatented mining claims covering the mine site and long-known deposit to the east, plus two large claim groups to the north, east, and south with exploration potential. 

The 80 unpatented claims are located on approximately 1,900 acres land administered by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management in sections 27, 28, 29, 33, and 34, T48N, R17W, NMPM, and some in section 3, T47N, R17W, Montrose County, Colorado. The Van#4 Mine is located approximately 112 miles from the White Mesa Mill at Blanding, Utah.  It would be about 10 miles to the Piñon Ridge mill near Naturita, Colorado. The Holding costs of the 80 claims will be $12,400 due to BLM before September 1 each year. There are no royalties encumbering these claims.

The property includes the Van#4 shaft and associated surface facilities, which need renovation. The mine is connected to the Ura decline on claims in Bull Canyon to the southwest, not owned by WUC. It has been on standby for many years. Denison completed reclamation of two of the ventilation holes in 2008 and 2010.

Accessibility

The Van#4 mine is accessible via Montrose County Roads year round.

History

The Van#4 was initially permitted in the late 1970s and early 1980s by Union Carbide as part of a number of small mines named the Thunderbolt Group. Energy Fuels Nuclear, Inc. (EFN) acquired the mine in 1984 and then transferred the mine and permits to International Uranium Corporation (IUC) in 1997. IUC re-permitted the mine with DRMS (then known as the Division of Minerals and Geology) in 1999 because the previous permit had included other mines in the area that were not acquired by IUC.  Mine Permit M-1997-032 with DRMS is currently in good standing and bonded for $75,057. Amendment AM-1, which incorporated the approved EPP, was issued on May 30, 2012. The permit has been transferred over the years from IUC to Denison Mines (USA) Corp. to Energy Fuels Resources (USA) Inc. and now to WUC by way of PRM.

Project Geology

The uranium-vanadium deposits occur in the upper and middle sandstones of the Salt Wash Member of the Morrison Formation. Deposits in this part of the Uravan Mineral Belt have a moderate V2O5: U3O8 ratio. WUC is in possession of much historic mine and drill data (former Union Carbide/Umetco property), as well as up-to-date mine maps.  Denison drilled most recently (summer 2008) 21 wide-spaced exploration holes in sections 27 and 34. All have been reclaimed and the permit terminated.

No NI43-101 Technical Reports have ever been prepared on the Van#4 Project. In-house estimates are the Van claim group contains a total resource of 63,600 tons containing 376,600 pounds of U3O8 (0.30%) and 1,312,500 pounds of V2O5 (1.03%).

Restoration and Reclamation.

There is a reclamation bond held by the Colorado DRMS for $75,057.

Permitting Status

The Van 4 Mine is a small underground mine accessed via a shaft. It is located on Monogram Mesa in western Montrose County and was last operated between 1987 and 1990. It is located on unpatented BLM claims and was initially permitted in the late 1970s and early 1980s by Union Carbide as part of a number of small mines named the Thunderbolt Group. Energy Fuels Nuclear, Inc. (EFN) acquired the mine in 1984 and then transferred the mine and permits to International Uranium Corporation (IUC) in 1997. IUC re-permitted the mine with DRMS (then known as the Division of Minerals and Geology) in 1999 because the previous permit had included other mines in the area that were not acquired by IUC.  Mine Permit M-97-032 with DRMS is currently in good standing and bonded for $75,057. Amendment AM-1, which incorporated the approved EPP, was issued on May 30, 2012. The permit has been transferred over the years from IUC to Denison Mines (USA) Corp. to Energy Fuels Resources (USA) Inc, and most recently to Pinon Ridge Mining LLC. BLM’s Uncompahgre Field Office in Montrose occasionally inspects the site and the Plan of Operations for the mine is the same as the 1997 DRMS application. Permit compliance is currently limited to an annual stormwater inspection; stormwater improvement work was completed in 2010 and 2012. The air permit with APCD was recently allowed to lapse, as the company does not have any immediate development or operation plans for the mine. The mine does not have EPA approval for radon emissions; however, this approval may not be needed to restart mining, as the life-of-mine production will likely be less than 100,000 tons. The DRMS mining permit was put into Temporary Cessation in February, 2014. Existing major permits at the mine include:

The Property

The Yellow Cat property is located in eastern Grand County, Utah. The property is situated 23 miles north of Moab, Utah, and approximately 5 miles south of I-70 between Thompson and Crescent Junction. 

Pinon Ridge Milling, LLC, a subsidiary of Western Uranium Corporation (WUC) owned two State Leases and the Ethan claims, and acquired the other portions in July 2014 from Energy Fuels Limited. Historic drilling by Pioneer Uravan identified a moderate-sized deposit in the Salt Wash on the property. Approximately 571,000 lbs. of U3O8 has historically been produced from the district.

The property consists of 85 unpatented claims on public land managed by the BLM Moab Field Office and five Utah State Leases; in total covering approximately 4,660 acres. The area covers parts of sections 25, 26, 27, 34, 35, and 36 T22S R21E, sections 30 and 32 T22S R22E, and sections 1 and 2 T23S R21E. The deposit was accessed by the Ringtail Shaft which has been reclaimed. Total annual BLM claim maintenance fee are approximately $13,175 due September 1st each year. Utah State Leases total $4,340 per year. The Yellow Cat property is approximately 125 miles from the White Mesa Mill and 105 miles from the proposed Piñon Ridge Mill in Paradox Valley.

The five Utah State Leases carry a royalty of 8% on uranium and 4% on vanadium due to Utah.

Accessibility

The center of the mining claims can be accessed via traveling east from Thompson, Utah, on interstate 70 for 5 miles until exit 193. Drive south on BLM 163 for 6.3 miles until you see a turn onto BLM 146. In 2.4 miles you will be in the center of the BLM claims for this property.

History

This entire area was extensively drilled in the 1940’s and 1950’s by the AEC. The property is situated on the extreme northern flank of the Salt Valley Anticline and dips generally to the south.

Project Geology

The Ringtail Shaft on the property is collared in the Brushy Basin Member of the Salt Wash Formation, with Burro Canyon and Dakota Sandstone forming gentle ridges to the north. The maximum depth from surface to the deposits is 800 feet in northern portion of the property and lessens to the south. The uranium-vanadium deposits are hosted in the fluvial sandstones of the Salt Wash. The mineralization is primarily in sandstone lenses in the middle portion of the Salt Wash, which displays the favorable criteria typical of the Uravan Mineral Belt.

OTHER

Ferris Haggerty

The Property

A reclamation liability remains at this Wyoming copper project. No leases or land use remain.

Accessibility

The reclamation project is accessible 4 to 6 months out of the year due to snow and closed access. Take Wyoming Highway west from Encampment, Wyoming for approximately 11 miles. Once across the divide, to the northeast there is a pullout for Medicine Bow National Forest recreation. Follow 4 wheel drive route 412 (Continental Divide Trail) for approximately 5 miles to the Haggerty creek watershed. Turn southwest onto a steep 4 wheel drive rout and travel for approximately 1.5 miles until you are at the property.

History

The Ferris-Haggerty Mine Site was one of the richest components of the Grand Encampment Mining District in Carbon County, Wyoming. The site was first exploited by Ed Haggerty, a prospector from Whitehaven, England, in 1897, when he established the Rudefeha Mine on a rich deposit of copper ore. Haggerty was backed by George Ferris and other investors, of whom all but Ferris dropped out. The partners sold an interest to Willis George Emerson, who raised investment funding for improvements to the mine. These facilities included a 16-mile (26 km) aerial tramway from Grand Encampment over the Continental Divide to the smelter in Encampment and a 4-mile (6.4 km) pipeline to the mine. The mine's assets were eventually acquired by the North American Copper Company for $1 million. By 1904 the mine had produced $1.4 million in copper ore, and was sold to the Penn-Wyoming Copper Company. However, even with copper prices peaking in 1907, the company had difficulty making a profit from the remove mine site. The company was over-capitalized and under-insured, and was suffered devastating fires at the mine site in March 1906 and May 1907 which halted production. Business disputes and a fall in copper prices prevented re-opening of the mine even after it was rebuilt. Machinery was salvaged after a foreclosure in 1913. A total of $2 million in copper ore was extracted from the mine during its life.

Project Geology

The Deposit is a tabular injection of magmatic metal differentiation product at the margins of an utramafic intursive of early Archean age (2.2 billion years ago). This intrusive was injected into pre-existing high silicious sandstones and shales of massive shickness (+2,000 ft). Mineralization at the Ferris-Haggarty mine consists of disseminated pyrite and chalcopyrite grains that occur along bedding planes of the host quartzite. However, the massive ore body mined at the Ferris-Haggarty was described by Spencer (1904) to lie along quartzite-Schist contacts and to cross cut foliation. Based on the historic description, the ore may have been remobilized from the host quartzite during regional metamorphism and emplaced along the quartzite-schist contact by way of permeable fractures. The impermeable hanging wall schist may have formed a natural barrier to the ore solutions and produced an unusually rich ore body.

Restoration and Reclamation

We must get grass to grow on the drill pad disturbance areas from drilling which took place in 2007. These drill pads are located at 10,000 feet above sea level on the north face of a mountain on the Continental Divide.

A $10,000 reclamation bond remains with the Wyoming DEQ. Upon completing reclamation, the Company will receive the bond money back.

Alaska Properties

The Property.

Ranger Alaska, LLC a wholly owned subsidiary of Black Range Minerals Limited (Black Range) controls the 1,450 acre Jonesville Coal Project consisting of two state coal mining leases centered on the historic Evan Jones Coal mine in the Matanuska Valley northeast of Anchorage, Alaska. The property encompasses a total of 1,450 acres of coal rights within the two state leases (a 1,410 and a 40 acre lease). The 40 Acre lease was obtained as it contains ssome high quality coal tailings suitable for reprocessing.

At present Black Range has a 492.5 acre approved mining permit for the remaining of the old tailings pond and establishing a boxcut (open pit) to access the underground workings. The permit also allows for limited underground development and the extraction of 17,000 tons of coal.

Accessibility

The project is within the Wishbone Hill mining district 60 miles northeast of Anchorage, Alaska, a location with excellent road access, power lines within approximately 0.5 miles and existing right of ways for both power and railroad right up to the historic portal area A port with coal loading facilities is located approximately 65 road miles away at Point Mackenzie. Access from Anchorage is via the Glenn Highway, exiting at Mile 61 onto the Jonesville Road, a paved secondary road, for 1.75 miles, then onto a gravel road for 0.7 miles to the mine site. The Jonesville Road is presently maintained by the State of Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (DOTPH); the gravel road is not state-maintained, but renewed activity at the mine will, according to the DOTPH, result in renewed state maintenance..

History

Historic mining from the Jonesville property from 1916 to 1968 produced six million tons of high-volatile B bituminous coal used extensively by the Alaska Railroad and for power generation on military bases and in Anchorage. Studies have shown the quality of the washed coal to be a low-sulfur (0.3- 0.4%), high BTU (+12,000) product that is characterized as an excellent steam or thermal coal.

Project Geology

Coal measures on the lease include 20 identified coal beds within the Tertiary-age Chickaloon Formation, nine of which exhibit thicknesses of greater than five feet in various areas of the property, with two of the nine averaging 12 and 18 feet in thickness. The coal beds are found in an asymmetric syncline, the axis of which dips gently to the west, with beds on the south limb dipping at about 20 degrees north and the same beds on the north limb dipping about 35 degrees south. Based on borehole data, coal beds flatten to the southwest along a broadening synclinal axis. Historic mining was largely restricted to the north limb because mining methods employed at that time were found to be more economic in steeper dipping portions of the lease, resulting in the flatter dipping areas which are more favorable for modern mechanized mining methods being left largely undisturbed.

A recent JORC compliant report estimated the coal resource on the property at 147 Million short tons. Previous older coal reserve compilations indicate a range of 30 million to 50 million recoverable short tons of clean coal are available on the coal lease, with about 18 million tons contained in the “measured” category and the remainder being “indicated” reserves. Completion of several strategically placed drill holes would allow the reserves to be increased and the indicated reserves to be upgraded to measured reserves. In addition, up to 900,000 tons of recoverable coal is estimated to be in the old tailings pond and is permitted and readily available for near term production.

Restoration and Reclamation.

The project is currently bonded for $217,450, where $210,200 was put up in cash by the company and the remainder is as a surety bond from a former property lessee.

INFRASTRUCTURE

The Company’s carrying value of property, plant and equipment is as follows:

IP – Ablation Technology - $9,488,051 The Company holds an exclusive license to use ablation mining technology (“AMT”), a proven technology that vastly improves the efficiency of the sandstone hosted uranium mining process. Ablation is a low cost, purely physical method of concentrating mineralization of uranium ore by applying a grain-size separation process to ore slurries.

Mineral Properties $11,645,218 – The Company holds mineral properties as outlined below.

Pinon Ridge Properties

On August 18, 2014, the Company purchased mining assets from Energy Fuels Holding Corp. ("EFHC") in an arm's length transaction. The mining assets include both owned and leased land in the states of Utah and Colorado. All of the mining assets represent properties which have previously been mined to different degrees for uranium. As some of the properties have not formally established proven or probable reserves, there may be greater inherent uncertainty as to whether or not any mineralized material can be economically extracted as originally planned and anticipated.

The consideration paid for the Pinon Ridge mining assets included the following:

The total consideration above was recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as “mineral properties.” In addition, the Company was required to fund certificates of deposit representing permit bonds required to operate the mines, which represent pledges to secure the Company’s reclamation of each mine. These certificates of deposit are recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as “restricted cash.”

The Company’s mining properties acquired on August 18, 2014, include: San Rafael Uranium Project located in Emery County, Utah; The Sunday Mine Complex located in western San Miguel County, Colorado; The Van 4 Mine located in western Montrose County, Colorado; The Yellow Cat Project located in eastern Grand County, Utah; The Farmer Girl Mine project located in Montrose County, Colorado; The Sage Mine project located in San Juan County, Utah, and San Miguel County, Colorado USA.

Black Range Properties

On September 16, 2015, in connection with the Black Range Transaction, the Company acquired additional mineral properties. The mining assets acquired through Black Range include leased land in the states of Colorado, Wyoming and Alaska. None of these mining assets were operational at the date of acquisition. As these properties have not formally established proven or probable reserves, there may be greater inherent uncertainty as to whether or not any mineralized material can be economically extracted as originally planned and anticipated.

The Company’s mining properties acquired on September 16, 2015, include Hansen, North Hansen, High Park, Hansen Picnic Tree, Taylor Ranch, Boyer Ranch, located in Fremont County, Colorado. The Company also acquired Jonesville Coal located in Palmer Recording District, Alaska and Keota located in Weld County, Wyoming.

Land, building and improvements of $1,050,810 .

In connection with the Black Range Transaction, Western assumed a mortgage secured by land, building and improvements at 1450 North 7 Mile Road, Casper, Wyoming, with interest payable at 8.00% and payable in monthly payments of $11,085 with the final balance of $1,044,015 due as a balloon payment on January 16, 2016. The Company did not pay the mortgage on its due date. It became in default. The Company is currently in negotiations with its mortgage holder to exchange the mortgage for the land, building and improvements it is secured by.

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, an unlimited number of common shares were authorized for issuance.

Ontario Law

Under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario), we are permitted to indemnify our directors and officers (as well as certain other parties) against costs, charges and expenses (including settlement costs) reasonably incurred in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding in which they are involved because of their association with us. We are likewise authorized to provide monetary advances for those costs. Further, our directors and officers are entitled to obtain indemnification from us in similar circumstances provided that a court or other competent authority does not rule that the director or officer has committed a fault (or has omitted to do anything that she or he ought to have done).

However, this indemnification is not available to the extent that directors or officers fail to act honestly and in good faith with a view to our best interests. Also, in the case of any criminal or administrative proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, indemnification will only be available for such a penalty if the director or officer had reasonable grounds for believing that her or his conduct was lawful.

Under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario), indemnification is available in the case of a derivative action (maintained against a director or officer on behalf of us) if approved by the court.

Also, under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario), we may (but are not required to) purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of our directors and officers.

Bylaw

Further to the indemnification authorization granted under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario), sections 6.04 and 6.05 of our By-laws include the following provisions with regard to indemnification and limitation of liability of directors and officers:

6.04 Indemnity:

Every person who at any time is or has been a director or officer of the Corporation or who at any time acts or has acted at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer of a body corporate or other corporate entity of which the Corporation is or was a shareholder or creditor, and the heirs and legal representatives of every such person, shall at all times be indemnified by the Corporation in every circumstance where the [Ontario Business Corporations] Act [the “Act”] so permits or requires. In addition and without prejudice to the foregoing and subject to the limitations in the Act regarding indemnities in respect of derivative actions, every person who at any time is or has been a director or officer of the Corporation or properly incurs or has properly incurred any liability on behalf of the Corporation or who at any time acts or has acted at the request of the Corporation (in respect of the Corporation or any other person), and his or her heirs and legal representatives, shall at all times be indemnified by the Corporation against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a fine or judgment, reasonably incurred by him or her in respect of or in connection with any civil, criminal or administrative action, proceeding or investigation (apprehended, threatened, pending, under way or completed) to which he or she is or may be made a party, or in which he or she is or may become otherwise involved, by reason of being or having been such a director or officer or by reason of so incurring or having so incurred such liability or by reason of so acting or having so acted (or by reason of anything alleged to have been done, omitted or acquiesced in by him or her in any such capacity or otherwise in respect of any of the foregoing), and all appeals therefrom, if:

(a)  he or she acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Corporation; and 


(b)  in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, he or she had reasonable grounds for believing his or her conduct was lawful. 


Nothing in this section shall affect any other right to indemnity to which any person may be or become entitled by contract or otherwise, and no settlement or plea of guilty in any action or proceeding shall alone constitute evidence that a person did not meet a condition set out in clause (a) or (b) of this section or any corresponding condition in the Act. From time to time the board may determine that this section shall also apply to the employees of the Corporation who are not directors or officers of the Corporation or to any particular one or more or class of such employees, either generally or in respect of a particular occurrence or class of occurrences and either prospectively or retroactively. From time to time the board may also revoke, limit or vary the continued such application of this section.

6.05 Limitation of Liability:

So long as he or she acts honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Corporation, no person referred to in section 6.04 of this by-law (including, to the extent it is then applicable to them, any employees referred to therein) shall be liable for any damage, loss, cost or liability sustained or incurred by the Corporation, except where so required by the Act.

In order to support these indemnification obligations, a directors and officers liability insurance policy with company securities claims coverage was put in place on December 16, 2014 which provides aggregate limit of liability coverage in the amount of $5,000,000.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Western Uranium Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Western Uranium Corporation (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2015 and 2015 and the related consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive loss, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2015 and the period ended March 10, 2014 (inception) through December 31, 2014. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Western Uranium Corporation as of December 31, 2014 and 2014 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for year ended December 31, 2015 and the period ended March 10, 2014 (inception) through December 31, 2014, each in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2, the Company’s experience of negative cash flows from operations since inception and its dependency upon future financing, which is uncertain due to the limitations imposed by previous financings on future financings, raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 1 - Business

Nature of operations

Western Uranium Corporation ("Western” or the “Company") was incorporated in December 2006 under the Ontario Business Corporations Act. On November 20, 2014, the Company completed a listing process on the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE"). As part of that process, the Company acquired 100% of the members' interests of Pinon Ridge Mining LLC ("PRM"), a Delaware limited liability company. The transaction constituted a reverse takeover ("RTO") of Western by PRM ( see below and note 5 ). Subsequent to obtaining appropriate shareholder approvals, the Company reconstituted its Board of Directors and senior management team. Effective September 16, 2015, Western completed its acquisition of Black Range Minerals Limited (“Black Range”) ( see below and note 6 ).
