Subject: July 6, 2011 Uranium One (Ul) Letter regarding 2011 Surety Update for Reclamation
of the Shootaring Canyon Uranium Mill; June 30, 2011 Ul Letter Request for
Extension of Annual Surety Submittal; RAM License Number UT0900480: Surety
Estimate Approval and Request for Evidence of Surety
Dear Mr. Schwab:
As you are aware, License Condition 9.5 of the subject license requires Ul to submit a surety
update by April 23"*^ annually. We informed Jon McKay of Ul by email on June 27, 2011 that we
had not received the update. On June 30, 2011 we received an email conveying a letter from Ul,
dated June 30, 2011, apologizing for the delay, and requesting an extension to submit the surety
update by July 10, 2011. We later received the subject letter dated July 6, 2011 containing an
estimate update for the subject 2011 surety.
We have reviewed this information and hereby approve the current surety estimate of
$8,328,140. This amount is $217,369 or 2.68% increase from the previous 2010 surety of
$8,110,771. This increase is based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI-U) change from March
2010 to March 2011, as described in the subject July 6, 2011 letter.
As mentioned in previous correspondence, this surety estimate, based on existing conditions, does
not support the pending license amendment application to return to operations in accordance with
the requirements of UAC R313-24-4 (10 CFR 40, Appendix A, Criteria 9 as incorporated by
reference).

Re: 2011 Surety Update for Reclamation of the Shootaring Canyon Uranium Mill License UT 0900480
Dear Mr. Lundberg;
As per License Condition 9.5, Uranium One hereby submits the 2011 surety estimate for reclamation of the
Shootaring Canyon Uranium Mill for Executive Secretary approval as per UAC R313-24-4 and 10 CFR Part
40, Appendix A, Criteria 9 and 10. Over the past year there have been no changes to the site conditions or
the reclamation plan and cost estimate that served as the basis for the previous surety calculation. In January
2011 a revised baseline estimate was completed and approved and this is the basis for the estimate submitted
for 2011. Using this baseline and inflating the estimate using the Consumer Price Index we have determined
the amount as follows:
Using the Consumer Price index for all urban consumers - (CPI-U), U.S. city average, all items, from March,
2010 (210.631) to March 2011 (223.467), found at this link
(ftp://ftp.bls.gov/pub/special.requests/cpi/cpiai.txt), we calculate a 2.68% increase in surety for 2011 as
follows.
(223.467-217.631)/217.631 x 100 =2.68%
Thereforetheincreaseofthe current surety amount of $8,110,771 is calculated as:
$8,110,771 X 0.0268 = $217,369
This results in an updated surety amount of $8,328,140.
Upon the approval of this estimate by the Executive Secretary, Uranium one will submit corresponding
financial surety documents for the amount identified above within 30 days. Please feel free to contact me if
you have any questions or comments regarding this estimate.
