About Hansen/Taylor Ranch
The Hansen/Taylor Ranch Uranium Project spans over 13,500 acres and is located in the Tallahassee Creek District of Colorado, about 150 kilometers southwest of Denver. This area is an established mining region, home to operations like AngloGold Ashanti's Cripple Creek gold mine. Historically, from 1954 to 1972, the district hosted 16 small-scale uranium mines, both open-pit and underground. The Hansen/Taylor Project includes multiple uranium deposits, such as Hansen, Taylor, Boyer, Noah, High Park, and Picnic Tree, making it one of the most prominent uranium projects in the United States. The majority of the mineral rights have been secured through lease and option agreements with surface landowners, as well as several state and federal leases.
