NEWS RELEASE
Bayswater Affiliate AUC LLC Files Application for Source Material License
with Nuclear Regulatory Commission for Reno Creek Uranium Project, Wyoming
AUC Achieves Major Milestone in Reno Creeks Development Plan
Vancouver, BC, October 18, 2012 - Bayswater Uranium Corporation (TSX-V:
BYU), (OTC:
BYSWF) is pleased to report that AUC
LLC ("AUC") has filed its application with the U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) for a combined Source and 11e.(2) Byproduct Materials
License for the Reno Creek Project, located in the Powder River Basin of
Wyoming.
This is a major milestone in AUCs ongoing effort to bring the
Reno Creek Project into production, and the culmination of nearly two years
of intensive environmental baseline study and evaluation.
The application demonstrates that the Reno Creek Project can be constructed
and operated with minimal environmental effects, while directly employing up
to 65 local Wyoming residents.
The Reno Creek Project occurs 90% on private
property and 10% on State land, with no BLM lands.
No Threatened or
Endangered Species are present, and the site is more than 20 miles from any
Sage Grouse Core Area.
The Production Zone sandstone is geologically
confined across the entire project.
Project logistics are ideal, with the
Project located near all-weather public roads, high voltage power lines, and
natural gas.
The Plant Site will be located on land owned by AUC.
NRC is initiating its process to evaluate the application for completeness,
and then conduct a technical and environmental review.
NRC will prepare a
Safety Evaluation Report and a Site Specific Environmental Impact Statement
during the License issuance process.
In order to optimize the efficiency of the review process, AUC had
previously arranged for NRC to conduct a pre-submission field investigation
and an audit of AUCs draft application.
AUC incorporated in its final
application responses to all of NRCs comments and questions.
In addition,
AUC reviewed and incorporated in its application all of the most effective
"best practices" that other ISR uranium companies had implemented in their
applications.
AUC is now preparing the formal application for a Permit to Mine, to be
submitted soon to the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality.
AUC anticipates that it will commence production in 2015, as previously
reported.
Bayswater and Pacific Road Resources Funds ("PRRF") are developing the Reno
Creek Uranium Project through Reno Creek Holdings Inc.
("RCHI"), which owns
100% of the Project through RCHIs wholly owned subsidiary AUC.
Bayswater
currently owns a 13.47% interest in RCHI.
PRRF is entitled to convert its
investment in RCHI into common shares of Bayswater at any time up to six
months following the later of completion of a feasibility study or receipt
of all requisite mining permits, but in any event PRRF shall convert its
investment not later than April 7, 2015, provided certain conditions are
met.
Upon conversion of PRRFs investment, Bayswater will own a 100%
interest in RCHI which holds the Reno Creek property.
The Companys exploration activities are conducted under the supervision of
George M.
Leary, M.Sc.
P.
Eng.
(B.C.), President of the Company, and Victor
