Impairment of Uranium Properties At March 31, 2013 and 2012, the carrying value of the project assets at each of our South Texas production locations exceeded their fair value as a result of a decline in the market price of uranium and an increase in the estimated costs for each of our South Texas projects. Such determination resulted in an impairment provision of approximately $279,000 and $269,000 for the first quarters of 2013 and 2012, respectively. The impairment provision for the first quarters of 2013 and 2012, respectively were $96,000 and $168,000 related to Kingsville Dome, $178,000 and $87,000 related to Vasquez and $5,000 and $14,000 for Rosita. The net carrying values of the Kingsville Dome, Rosita and Vasquez projects are approximately $5.4 million, $4.9 million and $412,000 at March 31, 2013.
