Blue Sky is focusing its uranium exploration efforts on southern Argentina. The Company concludes that the region is underexplored, with excellent potential for near-surface uranium resources (for open-pit mining) with rapid low-cost development potential. The new Federal Government has made public its support for the development of a domestic uranium supply to support the plans for expanding the nuclear energy capacity of the country, providing an excellent potential first customer for any new operation. The World Nuclear Association reports that ... 1. Argentina has three nuclear reactors generating about one-tenth of its electricity. 2. Its first commercial nuclear power reactor began operating in 1974. 3. The construction of two additional reactors is planned. 4. Construction has started on a small locally-designed power reactor prototype. 5. Nuclear Energy requirements are expected to increase by 250% by 2025…translating to a potential need for 1.25 million pounds of U3O8 annually. 6. All uranium is for the nuclear industry is currently sourced from outside the country. 7. The Company has assembled a 3,500 km2 (350,000 ha) land package in Rio Negro and Chubut provinces of Argentina, making the Blue Sky one of the largest uranium project holders in the Country. Blue Sky uranium projects were selected with the assistance of Dr. Jorge Berizzo for their potential to host economic uranium deposits. Dr. Berizzo has extensive experience in uranium exploration and production obtained as a senior exploration geologist, and later as mine manager, for the Argentinean National Atomic Energy Commission, as well as privately owned companies. Dr. Berizzo also played a leading role in the discovery of the Cerro Solo uranium deposit in Chubut province, Argentina. Read on for project news ...
