(\"\n \n Laramide\n \n \" or the \"\n \n Company\n \n \") (TSX: LAM) (ASX: LAM) (OTCQX: LMRXF) is pleased to announce that its US subsidiary, NuFuels Inc, has been awarded a U.S. Department of Energy (\"DOE\") grant in the amount of USD\n \n $1,756,778\n \n to provide the funding for a joint research project (\"The Project\") with Los Alamos National Laboratory (\"LANL\") to develop advanced in-situ recovery (\"ISR) related groundwater restoration technology.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Expenses for the DOE grant for the NuFuels/LANL Project titled \"Laboratory Groundwater Restoration R&D Bench Study with Natural Uranium Core and Groundwater\" will be shared at a ratio of approximately 40% by NuFuels, to pay for the costs of obtaining the core material and laboratory equipment and supplies, and 60% by DOE, to provide the LANL expertise and facilities, and fund research staff.\n \n \n The Project is designed to develop groundwater restoration technology in the laboratory that will address both the modern groundwater restoration standards in\n \n New Mexico\n \n , and have a significant impact on reducing the full cycle cost related to ISR by reducing the amount of water used during the groundwater restoration process through in-situ restoration techniques. In addition to the benefit to the uranium industry, the technology developed would benefit many DOE and legacy industrial sites where water-efficient remedial approaches to groundwater quality reclamation may be advantageous.\n \n \n The Project's objective is to demonstrate the capacity to restore groundwater geochemical conditions to background levels at uranium recovery operations through the application of restoration strategies to include: 1) groundwater sweeping, 2) active treatment through reverse osmosis and recirculation operations, 3) amendme...
