The Grants Ridge Project is 5,620 acres in size and is targeting the Todlito Limestone. The project is in the Grants Mineral Belt, a prolific region that produced 340 million pounds of Uranium in the early 1980â€™s.

Uranium Energy Corp. has 31 properties in six states in the Western United States. Its lead project is the Goliad ISR Uranium Project located in South Texas. The company is in the final stage of permitting this project.
