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 by the Company 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 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.

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 mine 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.

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 WQCD 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.

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

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.

The Deep Gold deposit was 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 deposit in the San Rafael Project is an open 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

Some of these companies performed historic resource estimates on the Deep Gold deposits, but they are not considered compliant

with NI 43-101 standards.

Depth to mineralization at the Deep Gold deposit in Section 23 averages

800 feet, with hole depths averaging approximately 1,000 feet.

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.

agreement (the “Option and Exploration Agreement”) with STB Minerals, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“STB”).

The Option and Exploration Agreement gives the Company the right to purchase 51% of the mineral rights of specific areas of the Hansen

and Picnic Tree deposits (for which the Company already holds 49% of the rights).

If the Company were to exercise its option under the

Option and Exploration Agreement, it would require the Company to (a) make a cash payment of $2,500,000 immediately upon exercise;

issue common shares to STB amounting to a value of $3,750,000 immediately upon exercise;

and (c) issue common shares to STB amounting

to a value of $3,750,000 on the date that is 180 days following exercise.

The Option and Exploration Agreement was scheduled to expire

by its terms on July 28, 2017 if not exercised.

The Option and Exploration Agreement provided an extension for an “event

of force majeure”.

Under this clause, the Company would receive an extension of the period during which it could exercise its option

if it experiences an unreasonable delay outside its control that prevents it from exercising the option.

On May 10, 2017, the Company

provided to STB a notice that it was exercising the force majeure clause due to the delay by government regulators in licensing the Company’s

Kinetic Separation and permitting mining at the Hansen property.

STB has contested the Company’s finding that an event of force

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 palaeochannel.

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

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.

Project Geology

The Deposit is a tabular injection of magmatic metal differentiation

product at the margins of an ultramafic intrusive of early Archean age (2.2 billion years ago).

This intrusive was injected into pre-existing

high siliceous sandstones and shales of massive thickness (+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.

In all cases, uranium ore that was entered into the Kinetic

Separation pilot test system appeared to concentrate most of the uranium into the post kinetically separated material consisting of a

fraction of the original mass, leaving most of the post kinetically separated materials which did not contain any uranium.

The Company’s carrying value of mineral

assets, equipment and kinetic separation intellectual property is as follows:

The Company holds a license to use Kinetic Separation,

a proven technology that we anticipate will improve the efficiency of the sandstone hosted uranium mining process, although there are

some uncertainties about whether the anticipated benefits will be realized.

See Item 1, “Business – Corporate History”

and “Business – Our Strategy – Uranium/Vanadium Production”.

The Kinetic Separation Process.” Kinetic Separation

is a low cost, purely physical method of uranium and vanadium ore extraction.

Kinetic Separation has been initially tested in order to

understand the hydro and mechanical separation processes.

samples of uranium ore from the Sunday Mine Complex and the Hansen/Taylor Ranch properties.

of these tests have not yet been validated by a qualified person.

During 2016, the Company submitted documentation to the Colorado Department

of Public Health and Environment (“CDPHE”) for a determination ruling regarding the type of license which may be required

for the application of Kinetic Separation at the Sunday Mine Complex within the state of Colorado.

During May and June of 2016, CDPHE

held four public meetings in several cities in Colorado as part of the process.

On July 22, 2016 CDPHE closed the comment period.

In connection

with this matter, the CDPHE consulted with the NRC.

In response, the CDPHE received an advisory opinion dated October 16, 2016, which

did not contain support for the NRC’s opinion and with which the Company’s regulatory counsel does not agree.

advisory opinion recommended that Kinetic Separation should be regulated as a milling operation but did recognize that there may be exemptions

to certain milling regulatory requirements because of the benign nature of the non-uranium bearing sands produced after Kinetic Separation

is completed on uranium-bearing ores.

On December 1, 2016, the CDPHE issued a determination that the proposed Kinetic Separation operations

at the Sunday Mine must be regulated by the CDPHE through a milling license.

Beginning in 2017 the Company’s regulatory counsel

has prepared significant documentation in preparation for a prospective submission.

On September 13, 2019, the Company’s regulatory

counsel submitted a whitepaper to the NRC entitled “Recommendations on the Proper Legal and Policy Interpretation for Using Kinetic

Separation Processes at Uranium Mine Sites.” On July 24, 2020, the NRC staff responded with a letter in support of the original
