Environmental And Regulatory Affairs

Curtis O. Sealy, M.Sc., P.E., Appointed Vice-President for Environmental & Regulatory Affairs

Mr. Sealy is a registered professional engineer with over 35 years experience related to the investigation, design and construction of projects for the metals mining and milling industry. He has performed audit assessments for the uranium milling tailings and mining programs for Wismut in the Saxony Province (formerly GDR) Germany. Mr. Sealy successfully managed two groundwater restoration projects in Brits and Bon Accord, South Africa. His uranium experience consists of 17 years with Umetco Minerals Corporation (Umetco), as Manager of Engineering, where he was responsible for developing cost efficient, permanent, remedial design solutions for Umetco's environmental liabilities. He was also responsible for preparation of cost estimates, schedules and annual budgets for construction activities.

Corporate Development

Frank L. Ludeman, M.S., Geology, Senior Project Analyst/Corporate Development

Mr. Ludeman has over 45 years experience in management and technical positions of accountability in mining industry exploration, development and mine operations. His primary area of practice is in the uranium industry with underground, open pit, and in-situ leach recovery (ISR) experience with Kerr-McGee Corp. and Wyoming Mineral Corp. in New Mexico, Texas, Colorado and Wyoming. Recent industry positions and consulting work has predominantly involved evaluation, development, and operation of uranium ISR projects. He is a member of the American Institute of Professional Geologists and a Certified Professional Geologist.

During Mr. Ludeman's career, he has evaluated nearly every potential ISR and conventional mining uranium deposit in Wyoming, Texas, New Mexico and Colorado for mining company clients. His last position was as a consultant to Standard Uranium Inc. where he was a key technical advisor during Standard's acquisition of Everest Minerals Corp. Mr. Ludeman's ISR evaluations consisted of ore reserves, equilibrium studies, hydrologic investigations, geochemistry, and metallurgical tests, including complete ISR feasibility studies.

Advisory Board Additions

Marvin Freeman, B.S., Mechanical Engineering

Mr. Freeman has over 27 years experience in uranium in-situ-recovery (ISR) mining that includes Exxon Corporation, Kerr-McGee Corporation and Rio Algom Mining Corporation. He joined Rio Algom as Vice President, Technical Services and Regulatory Affairs, in 1989 and was named Executive Vice President of Rio Algom Mining Corp. in 1997 where he was employed until his retirement in 2002.

Tony Thompson, B.A. History, B.A. Law

Mr. Anthony J. Thompson has been practicing environmental and occupational health and safety law since mid-1970. His practice includes legislation, regulatory counseling and litigation involving development of and compliance with environmental and natural resources law and regulations, risk assessment and management, and occupational health and safety regulatory matters. As primary outside counsel to the American Mining Congress (AMC), now the National Mining Association (NMA), for radioactive waste issues, he has represented virtually the entire domestic uranium mining and milling industry either as counsel to AMC/NMA or as a counsel to individual licensees since the late 1970's. Thus, for over two decades, his practice has encompassed uranium recovery legislative, regulatory, licensing and litigation issues for both conventional and in situ recovery (ISR) facilities, radiation health and safety issues, including radioactive waste disposal issues, Clean Air Act (CAA) and title (CERCLA) issues, release of radionuclides issues, and constitutional issues related to federal preemption of Atomic Energy Act (AEA) materials. Mr. Thompson is the prime author of NMA's White Paper entitled "Recommendations for a Coordinated Approach to Regulating the Uranium Recovery Industry" and NMA's Fuel Cycle Facilities Forum's (FCFF) joint White Paper entitled "Direct Disposal of Non-11e.(2) Byproduct Materials in Uranium Mill Tailings Impoundments". He was a member of the National Risk Assessment and Management Commission, appointed by President Bush in 1992.
