//3. Proposed change: In Case No. W-4608, Water Division 2, entered on March 7, 1980, Cyprus Mines Corporation obtained approval of a plan for augmentation in which the water rights enumerated in ¶ 1 above, and additional water rights which are not the subject of this application, were changed from irrigation uses for augmentation uses.

Cyprus Mines Corporation proposed to construct a large open-pit uranium mine and mill on the property upon which the ditches enumerated in ¶ 1 were historically used; the Applicants’ ditches and other water rights were to be used in the uranium mining and milling operations.

The proposed mine and mill were never constructed. During the period Cyprus owned the land and water rights, it consistently leased the land and water rights for agricultural purposes, including irrigation. The Applicants purchased all of the land and water rights involved in Case No. W-4608 in 1994. //

//Hansen deposit, Fremont County (uranium): The Hansen deposit in the Tallahassee Creek area of Fremont County is once again being examined for its uranium potential. In November 2004, Quincy Gold Corp. announced it had entered into letter of intent for an agreement with NZ Uranium LLC to explore the Hansen deposit.

A resource of approximately 30 million pounds of uranium was outlined at Hansen in the late 1970s by Cyprus Mines Corp.

Cyprus had designed an open pit mine and milling facility capable of processing 4,500 tons of ore per day and yielding 2 million pounds of uranium per year. It was projected to employ 550 people by 1983. The plan was abandoned, however, in 1980 when the price of uranium crashed due to decreased demand for nuclear fuel after the Three Mile Island incident. Quincy Gold is evaluating Hansen as a potential site for in situ solution mining.//
