page 38 in the following report indicates 42 million lbs:

Note that these resource numbers are 25 years old and not compliant with current standards. But 432 holes were drilled on this property during the last uranium boom cycle.

>This program identified the Workman Creek deposit as their primary focus. Their work included drilling 432 holes, geological mapping, geochemistry, metallurgical testing, designing a mining plan, and commissioning Dravos Engineers and Contractors (“Dravos”) to complete a feasibility report, at a total estimated cost of US$10 Million.

The Dravos geo-statistical estimate of reserves encompassing both open pit and underground mining was 4.4 million tons containing 9.8 million pounds of U308 with an average grade of 0.11% and a cutoff of 0.05%. This estimate was made prior to implementation of NI 43-101 and, in order to confirm grade estimates, Rodinia will twin four holes and with that data and the data from the previous 432 holes, a reserve/resource estimate will be recalculated to conform with NI 43-101 standards.

With an extensive Westinghouse data base Rodinia will be able to accelerate its exploration and development plans at significant cost savings.<
