The following information may contain forward-looking statements. Forward- looking statements
address future events and conditions and therefore involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual
results may differ materially from those currently anticipated in such statements. Forward-looking
information is subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause
Strathmore's actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different
from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking information. Such factors include, but are not
limited to: uncertainties related to the historical resource estimates, the work expenditure
commitments; the ability to raise sufficient capital to fund future exploration or development programs;
changes in economic conditions or financial markets; changes in input prices; litigation; legislative,
environmental and other judicial, regulatory, political and competitive developments; technological or
operational difficulties or an inability to obtain permits required in connection with maintaining, or
advancing, the Roca Honda and Gas Hills projects; and labour relations matters.

All historical resource estimates were completed prior to the implementation of NI 43-101
and a qualified person has not completed sufficient work to classify the historic mineral
resources as current mineral resources, and is not treating the historic resources as
current. Hence, they should not be relied upon. Technical information has been prepared in
accordance with the Canadian regulatory requirements set out in NI 43-101, and reviewed by
David Miller, Chief Executive Officer for Strathmore Minerals Corp., PG 363 Wyoming and
Society for Mining, Metallurgy & Exploration Registered Member 2205106RM, a Qualified
Person under National Instrument 43-101. It should be noted that mineral resources which
are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability as defined by NI 43-
101 guidelines.

Gas Hills Uranium District – Wyoming
> 100 million lbs. cumulative uranium production
Grants Mineral District – New Mexico
> 340 million lbs. cumulative uranium production


Why are we different?
• Timely Acquisitions
Properties acquired 2003-04 when uranium price US $7-$15 per lb
One of the largest holders of in-ground uranium resources in the USA
• Strong Management & Technical Expertise
200+ Man-years of uranium experience
• Advanced Company Maker Projects (Limits exploration risk)

• Roca Honda, NM permit application submitted October 2009
• Gas Hills, WY permit application submittal in 2012
• Long-life uranium assets in politically stable region


Recent Developments
• Korea Electric Power (KEPCO) acquired ~14% interest in STM via
US $8 MM Private Placement at C$ .55 per share

• Proceeds for 2012 Phase I program: Drilling at prospective Beaver
Rim & ongoing permitting and drilling of Main Gas Hills deposits

• KEPCO has option for Phase II US $32 MM Gas Hills Joint Venture
over 3 years beginning in 2013

• Transaction provides for long-term off-take agreements based on
KEPCO’s equity ownership in STM and Gas Hills
