2005 To Present
In 2005 the company raised $11.7 million and acquired interests in the Allemand-Ross Project in Wyoming and the Swinney Switch Project in Texas among others.
High Plains intends to employ in-situ leach mining technology to produce its uranium. In-situ mining, or "solution mining," recovers uranium from underground bodies without disrupting the character of the rock strata or land surface. The mining technique is designed to make other land uses, such as agriculture, also possible.
The company was acquired by Energy Metals Corporation effective January 12, 2007, and delisted from the Toronto Stock Exchange.

Famous quotes containing the word present:
“Stevenson had noble ideas—as did the young Franklin for that matter. But Stevenson felt that the way to implement them was to present himself as a thoughtful idealist and wait for the world to flock to him. He considered it below him, or wrong, to scramble out among the people and ask them what they wanted. Roosevelt grappled voters to him. Stevenson shied off from them. Some thought him too pure to desire power, though he showed ambition when it mattered.”
—Garry Wills, U.S. historian. Certain Trumpets: The Call of Leaders, ch. 9, Simon & Schuster (1994)
