Overview

The Sage Plain property in located in the Slick Rock District 15 miles northeast of Monticello, Utah and 54 road miles from the White Mesa Mill. The property consists of two fee mineral leases covering about 960 acres (Calliham and Crain) and a Utah State lease of 640 acres. It also consists of a high vanadium-to-uranium ratio.

The Calliham mine property was explored in the early 1970s by Hecla Mining Company. The lease was acquired by Atlas and the mine was brought into production in 1976. It operated again briefly in 1990-1991. All infrastructure from the historic mine has been removed and all permits have lapsed however, the underground workings remain relatively intact and the declines could be reestablished for quick re-entry.
