And another report ... this is about 20klm from UKL's Rio Puerco mine:

"Uranium Mine Storytelling
From the Albuquerque Journal:

A Nevada company is looking to drill in a uranium-rich area in western New Mexico in hopes of reviving the industry there. Urex Energy Corp. of Reno plans to drill 21 exploratory holes on 2,700 acres of La Jara Mesa at the base of Mount Taylor. ... Cibola National Forest officials expect more companies will apply for permits on forest land by the spring. ...

... While some groups are fighting uranium mining, the Cibola County Commission has passed a resolution in favor of exploration. The resolution says the county ''is blessed with natural resources such as uranium and coal'' and that the development of mining would ''provide a significant tax base and additional jobs for Cibola County."
