<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Company has revised its accounting policy relating to the capitalization of expenditures as follows:</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Expenditures related to acquisition of mineral rights are capitalized as incurred. Exploration costs related to locating areas of potential mineralization are expensed as incurred. Commercial feasibility is established in compliance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Industry Guide 7, and consists of identifying that part of a mineral deposit that can be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination. After declaring proven or probable reserves for an area of interest in accordance with Industry Guide 7, expenditures specific to the area of interest for further development are capitalized.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On December&nbsp;17, 2013, the Company filed an amended 2012 Form&nbsp;10-K and amended Quarterly Reports on Form&nbsp;10-Q for the quarters ended March&nbsp;31, 2013, June&nbsp;30, 2013 and September&nbsp;30, 2013 to amend and restate the Company&#146;s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures contained therein to reclassify costs from property, plant and equipment to mineral property expenses in accordance with the revised accounting policy.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">As discussed on the December&nbsp;6, 2013 teleconference call regarding the Company&#146;s impairment evaluation of the South Texas plant and equipment assets, the primary impairment evaluation on the South Texas plant and equipment was provided by the discounted cash flow (&#147;DCF&#148;) economic model included in the Behre Dolbear&nbsp;&amp; Company (USA),&nbsp;Inc. feasibility study on the Churchrock project, completed in December&nbsp;2012. For purposes of testing for impairment, the undiscounted cash flows generated from the Churchrock DCF model, estimated at $17.8 million, support the carrying values of the South Texas plant and equipment assets ($9.0 million) as well as the Churchrock asset pre-restatement carrying values ($3.8 million, all of which was eliminated in the restatement). The Company also noted that a high level assessment confirmed that the estimated cash proceeds from the sale of these assets exceeded their carrying value. Accordingly, the Company determined that no impairment provision is required on the South Texas plant and equipment assets for the Company&#146;s December&nbsp;31, 2012 consolidated financial statements.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Company routinely assesses whether impairment indicators are present for its long-lived assets and will continue to monitor the South Texas plant and equipment, as well as its New Mexico mineral rights and properties and other assets, for any potential future indications of impairment.</font></p>
