About Atomic Minerals

Tanzania

Atomic holds an option to earn up to a 100% interest in a land package totalling approximately 3800 square kilometres located in the United Republic of Tanzania (the "Properties") from Geo Can Resources Company Ltd. ("Geo Can"). The largest of the Properties are located in south-western Tanzania and are considered to be part of the "Malawi Extension" based on the location of the Property relative to blocks earmarked as potentially favourable for uranium enrichment. The Malawi Extension, located in the Republic of Malawi on south-west border of Tanzania, hosts the Kayelekera deposit which Paladin Resources is currently developing into a mine. Other mining companies exploring in the area include Mantra Resources and Western Metals (both in Tanzania).
