Who We Are

 

We are land and home owners who bought property in a pristine area of Colorado, without disclosure by realtors or developers, only to find out that large deposits of low-grade uranium are underneath and around us.

 

Fremont County Commissioners approved – June 2008 – uranium exploration by an Australian-based company within 500 feet of 44 land and home owners.

 

Proposed uranium mining will dewater the area and exploration has already devalued our property values.
