The company resampled  62 sonic drill holes and 12 historical diamond drill holes. Highlights from the re-sampling program included the following:

• Hole UEX-107: 0.81% cobalt and 0.24% nickel over 11.9 metres, including 1.70% cobalt and 0.44% nickel over 5.3 metres.
• Historical hole WBE-019, returned 0.52% cobalt and 0.47% nickel over 30.3 m, including 1.11% cobalt and 1.35% nickel over 5.5 metres.

UEX said the data from the winter program will be incorporated into the geological database, and the company will soon complete a new interpretation of the West Bear deposit. The deposit has inferred resources of 390,000 tonnes grading 0.37% cobalt and 0.22% nickel, containing 3.2 million lb. cobalt and 1.9 million lb. of nickel. The company is now selecting targets in the Umphervillle area 2 km north of the West Bear deposit. The West Bear property includes a uranium deposit of the same name discovered in 1976. It is thought to be the shallowest undeveloped uranium deposit in the Athabasca Basin. The cobalt-nickel minerallization is found below the uranium.
