PENINSULA COMMENCES ENVIRONMENTAL BASELINE STUDIES
AT THE LANCE PROJECT, WYOMING USA
Highlights
• Senior Environmental Consultant appointed to lead the baseline monitoring
and permitting process in preparation for the development of the Lance ISR
Project; and
• Independent engineering expert appointed to review the hydrologic,
process and production data generated by the historic ISR Pilot Plant
operation
Summary
The Directors of Peninsula Minerals Limited (“Peninsula”) are pleased to announce two
key Environmental and Engineering appointments as the Company progresses
towards the development and re-commencement of uranium production at the
Lance ISR Project in Wyoming, USA (“Lance Project”).
Environmental Appointment
Peninsula has appointed Senior Environmental Consultant Pat Gochnour to lead the
environmental baseline monitoring and the permitting process required for permitting
of new ISR operations in Wyoming. Mr. Gochnour has provided environmental service
to the mining industry since 1981. Prior to forming his own company in 1994, he was
Vice President of Environmental Services for Pincock, Allen & Holt, a division of Hart
Crowser, Inc. He has also served as Corporate Environmental Manager for St. Joe
Minerals, Bond International Gold, LAC Minerals & MinVen Gold Corporation. His areas
of expertise include environmental audits, permitting programs, Plan of Operations
and EA/EIS development, alternative siting studies, reclamation planning,
environmental contingency planning, remediation and environmental litigation
support.

Past clients have included Phelps Dodge, BHP Billiton, Barrick Gold and LAC Minerals.
In addition to these site-specific capabilities and experience, Mr. Gochnour also
provides environmental and permitting feasibility support for project financing to a
wide range of United States and international clients.
Engineering Appointment
Peninsula has commissioned Doug Christopherson, Senior Engineer with independent
consultants World Industrial Minerals, to conduct a thorough review of all of the
historic hydrologic, process and production data generated in the historic ISR Pilot
Plant which was located on recently acquired mineral tenements at the Lance
Project.
With more than 32 years experience as a mining engineer, Mr. Christopherson has
held a number of senior engineering positions in the United States and Asia. In
addition to his engineering experience, Mr. Christopherson has completed a number
of plant/mine permitting, feasibility studies and ore reserve estimates and
environmental assessments.
Mr. Christopherson will review the significant amount of historic data related to the ISR
Pilot Plant that previously operated at the Lance Project. The trial mine and ISR Pilot
Plant were designed to produce 40,000 lb of U3O8 per year and ran successfully for
ten months prior to being closed due to the Three Mile Island Incident in March 1979.
The site was fully rehabilitated with all bonds returned from the Department of
Environmental Quality and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission by 1984.
The information related to the operation includes historic assay results, metallurgical
tests, environmental baseline studies and proven aquifer restoration and should prove
invaluable to Peninsula in reducing the time required for state and federal permitting
for a planned new ISR mining operation.
The appointment of these key engineering and environmental personnel is an
important step in Peninsula’s stated aim of progressing the Lance Project to a
production decision as soon as is practicable.
Yours Sincerely
John (Gus) Simpson
Chairman
