Strathmore Plus Uranium Corp. announced that it has started its drilling and exploration program at its Agate project in the Shirley Basin uranium district. The permit is for a planned 100-hole drill program totaling 15,000 feet.

The drilling is planned to confirm historical results and extend mineralization into areas sparsely explored in the past. The drilling will expand the mineralized zone that the Company currently has data for and analyze uranium mineralization for radiometric disequilibrium and mineralogy. The Agate project was previously explored by Kerr-McGee Corporation in the 1970s, where they drilled 670 holes.

Kerr-McGee was the largest producer of uranium in the United States at the time.
