The purpose of the Advisory Board is to provide well-grounded support for the research and procurement of properties, design, development, permitting and reclamation of uranium mines for the Company.
Mr. Holmes’ extensive experience with uranium mine permitting traces back to the advent of ISR uranium mining in the United States in 1976.
