First American Uranium Inc. announced it has, through its land agent, staked 60 additional claims and continues to stake more at its Red Basin Uranium and Vanadium project in Catron County, New Mexico, USA. The Company has now staked a total of 86 claims in the basin to date, thereby securing a controlling position in the area and enhancing the Company's potential to define a substantial mineral resource going forward. The project is located 250 miles (402 km) south of the only operating uranium mill in America.

Gulf Oil conducted a thorough drill program at the Red Basin project area in the 1980s before a collapse in the uranium price, including drilling an estimated 1,000 holes. The project's region produced 1,194 pounds of U3O8 in the 1950s from ore mined with an average grade of 0.17% U3O8 (McLemore & Chenoweth, 2017). According to the Company's NI 43-101 Report, evaluations of the Company's property from several sources confirm the presence of uranium/vanadium deposits, indicating the potential to become an advanced stage project.
