Strathmore Minerals Corp. announced Monday that its uranium mine development office in Santa Fe is operational and the Canadian company hopes to convince authorities to allow it begin mining uranium on its properties in New Mexico and Wyoming.
Strathmore officials recently met with Governor Bill Richardson's office to discuss the matter. The company hopes to gain state approval to reopen its Church Rock and Roca Honda uranium mines located in McKinley County , which it purchased from Kerr McGee Nuclear and Rio Algom.

Dev Randhawa, president of Strathmore Minerals Corp. said from Kelowna , British Columbia that the office is being managed by John DeJoia, vice president of technical services, and Juan Velasquez, vice president of environmental and government affairs.
"We met with the Governor's Office and we're pretty excited because for us this is an important part of our strategy," Randhawa said.

Strathmore personnel now plan to meet with the appropriate state regulatory personnel in Santa Fe and Cheyenne , Wy. Randhawa said it is important to let shareholders know that the company is moving away from the exploration stage in New Mexico and into development and production.

Strathmore (TSX VENTURE:STM) will pursue permits to operate the mines at its Church Rock and Roca Honda properties in New Mexico based on the extensive drilling that has already been performed at those sites, which it contends show that the mines are viable.
