The tailings are from the former producing Eldorado uranium mine (1933-1960) and Echo Bay Uranium, silver, copper mines (1962- 1982). These mines are located in Alberta Star's project area.

The Company has completed a detailed sampling program of the Uranium-silver mine tailings and waste dumps and as a result of the sampling program the Company has begun preparation for a definition de-lineation drill program of the un-mined areas and extensions of the Eldorado uranium-silver mine to determine if there is a potential resource to support the recommencement of commercial production at the mine sites.

These mines are reported to have milled approximately 2.2 million tons of high grade uranium-silver ores leaving behind approximately 1.7 million tons of uranium-silver tailings. (Normin NTGO; SENES Report 2005). The Eldorado Uranium Mine formerly mined and produced 15,000,000 pounds of uranium at a head grade of 0.75% U308 and 8 million ounces of silver, plus, copper, nickel, lead at Eldorado, Port Radium commencing in 1933. The Echo Bay mine produced over 23,779,178 million ounces of silver at an average head grade of approximately 66 ounces per ton up until its closure in 1982.
