United States Forest Service Publishes Draft EIS for Strathmore's Roca Honda Uranium Project

STRATHMORE MINERALS CORP. ("Strathmore" or the "Company") (TSX:STM)(OTCQX:STHJF)
announces that the US Forest Service ("USFS") has published the Draft
Environmental Impact Statement ("DEIS") for the Company's Roca Honda uranium
project in New Mexico. The Roca Honda project is 60% funded by Strathmore and
40% funded by Sumitomo Corporation of Japan under the terms of the Roca Honda
Resources LLC ("RHR") Joint Venture.


The issuance of the DEIS represents the culmination of over three years of work
by the USFS in association with Mangi Environmental Group, the third party
independent consultant contracted to assist with the preparation of the DEIS. A
number of State of New Mexico agencies, including the New Mexico Energy,
Minerals & Natural Resources Department, Mining and Minerals Division ("MMD"),
also provided significant input to its preparation.


Notice of availability of the DEIS was published in the Federal Register, the
Daily Journal of the United States Government, on March 15, 2013, and the
document has been posted on the USFS and MMD websites. The publication of the
DEIS officially starts the 60 day public comment period. Two "open-house" public
meetings, to be held in Grants and Gallup, New Mexico, have been tentatively
scheduled in mid-April, to provide an opportunity for the public to discuss the
project, and submit oral and written comments. This process will ultimately lead
to the completion of the Final Environmental Impact Statement and the Roca Honda
mine permit Record of Decision expected later this year.


A copy of the DEIS has been posted the Strathmore's website:

Roca Honda Project Summary

The Roca Honda Property is situated on public lands managed by the US Forest
Service and the State of New Mexico, in the Grants Uranium District, New Mexico.
This project is 60% funded by Strathmore and 40% funded by Sumitomo Corporation
of Japan under the terms of the RHR LLC Joint Venture.


In October 2009, the RHR LLC Joint Venture submitted a mine permit application
for the proposed underground development of the Roca Honda Property. In November
2009, the mine permit application was deemed "administratively complete", by
federal and state regulatory agencies, thereby initiating the technical review
process. In February 2010, Mangi Environmental Group was chosen as the
independent consultant contracted to assist the USFS with the preparation of the
EIS. In August 2012, Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. ("RPA") completed an updated
NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource estimate and Preliminary Economic
Assessment ("PEA") for the uranium resources outlined to date at Roca Honda. The
updated NI 43-101 resource estimate prepared by RPA confirms Roca Honda as one
of the highest grade uranium deposits in the United States. In March 2013, the
USFS published the DEIS for public comment.

Notes: CIM definitions were followed for Mineral Resources; Mineral Resources
are estimated using a cut-off grade of 0.13% U3O8; a minimum mining thickness of
six feet was used; numbers may not add due to rounding.


The modeling and estimation of the uranium resources were prepared under the
supervision of Patti Nakai-Lajoie, P.Geo., & Principal Geologist with RPA at
that time. Ms. Nakai-Lajoie is a Professional Geoscientist in the Province of
Ontario and an independent and Qualified Person as defined in NI 43-101. Ms.
Nakai-Lajoie visited the Roca Honda Property on May 10-12, 2011 and is of the
opinion that the data verification procedures support the geologic
interpretations and confirm the quality of the database. It should be noted that
mineral resources, which are not mineral reserves, do not have demonstrated
economic viability.
