Searching for energy


The exploration for uranium is underway once again, The drillers have dug 12 of the planned 25 test holes at this time.  The test holes are all concentrated near one canyon in the SW corner of the ranch.  The geologists are looking for seams of a formation they call Chadron Sand that has a high probability of containing uranium ore, They hope to find 15 feet or more thickness of this formation.  The drillers pull out a sample of the earth at every 5 foot level.  They tell me that so far the holes have shown 0 to 7 foot thickness of this formation and they don't have the analysis done to tell if there is uranium ore in it.  This driller is pointing to the small sample that indicates 7' of Chadron formation from this well.
