Santoy Becomes Virginia Energy Resources Inc., Revises Board & Management

Thu Jul 23, 2009

News Release: 09-15

Santoy Resources Ltd. (TSX.V: SAN) is pleased to announce that Pursuant to a Plan of Arrangement, (originally announced in a Company news release dated December 22, 2008, and approved by both company's shareholder votes announced May 22, 2009) Santoy Resources Limited ("the Company") has now completed its business combination with privately held Virginia Uranium Ltd. Post-closing, the Company has changed its name to Virginia Energy Resources Inc. ("Virginia Energy"), has consolidated its issued share capital to approximately 54,377,279 common shares outstanding, and will have its trading symbol changed from SAN to VAE on the TSX Venture Exchange.

Virginia Energy currently holds a 20.8 per cent equity interest (in the process of increasing to 22.2 percent) in the Coles Hill uranium deposit, located in southern Virginia. Coles Hill, considered to be one of the largest undeveloped uranium deposits in the United States, had been advanced through to the feasibility stage in 1982. It has an estimated measured and indicated resource of 119 million pounds of U3O8 (at a cut-off grade of 0.025 per cent U3O8) based on a National Instrument 43-101 technical report on the Coles Hill property prepared for Santoy Resources by Behre Dolbear and Co. Ltd., Marshall Miller and Associates Inc., and PAC Geological Consultant Inc. (Dr. Peter Christopher, PEng) dated Feb. 2, 2009, and revised on April 29, 2009. This report is available on SEDAR and on Santoy Resources' website.

The Company is also the largest shareholder of Boss Power Corp. which owns the Blizzard uranium deposit in British Columbia.

Messrs Bill James and Pat Barry have resigned from the Company's Board of Directors. Their very significant contributions during the past several years have been much appreciated. Their positions have been filed by the appointment of Walter Coles, Sr., Norm Reynolds and Harvey Roberts, all resident in Virginia. The new Board will now consist of Walter Coles, Sr., Norm Reynolds, Harvey Roberts, Ron Netolitzky, Ron Hochstein, Robert Matthews, and Robert Ingram. Walter Coles, Sr. has been appointed Chairman of the Board. The Management Team will now consist of Norm Reynolds - President & CEO, Walter Coles, Jr. - Executive Vice-President, Karen Allan - Chief Financial Officer, and Mike Cathro -- Vice President, Exploration. Ron Netolitzky will remain very active in the company's direction as we continue to explore our exploration properties and advance the Coles Hill uranium deposit.

Santoy Resources and Virginia Uranium Complete Business Combination

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA - (Marketwire - July 21, 2009) -

Santoy Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:SAN) (the "Company" or "Santoy") is pleased to announce that the Plan of Arrangement (the "Arrangement") pursuant to which Santoy will complete a business combination with Virginia Uranium Ltd. ("Virginia") is expected to close today, July 21, 2009 (the "Effective Date"). Post closing, the Company will have approximately 54,377,279 common shares outstanding, will have changed its name to Virginia Energy Resources Inc. and will hold a 20.8% interest in VA Uranium Holdings, Inc. The outstanding common shares include the closing of the first tranche of the subscription receipts from the private placement financing dated July 17, 2009. The new company will trade on the TSX-V under the symbol VAE.

Procedural Information Respecting the Plan of Arrangement

The following information is a summary of certain features of the Plan of Arrangement. Immediately following the closing of the Arrangement, the Company will consolidate its shares on a one new for each five old basis. All share figures and exercise and other share prices given below are on a pre-consolidated basis.

Distribution of Santoy Incentive Warrants to Santoy Shareholders

Holders of Santoy common shares (excluding certain Small Lot Holders described below) will be entitled pursuant to the Arrangement to receive one (1) Santoy Incentive Warrant for every four (4) Santoy common shares held. Each one (1) Santoy Incentive Warrant will be exercisable to acquire one (1) Santoy common share at a price of CDN$0.12 for a period of 12 months following the closing of Arrangement. The Santoy Incentive Warrants are expected to be listed for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange.

For settlement reasons in connection with any trades of Santoy common shares during this period, the Company understands that the last day to purchase Santoy common shares that will be entitled to participate in the distribution of Santoy Incentive Warrants is July 23, 2009. Santoy common shares purchased on or after July 24, 2009 will not participate in the distribution of Santoy Incentive Warrants. The most recent private placement is not included and will not participate in the distribution of the Incentive warrants. These dates are subject to change and in such event, the Company will issue a news release announcing any such change.

Computershare Investor Services Inc. (the "Depositary") will forward to each Santoy shareholder who is entitled to receive Santoy Incentive Warrants, certificates representing their allotted number of such Warrants in accordance with the Arrangement.

Santoy Small Lot Holders (a "Small Lot" being less than 500 Santoy shares)

Registered Small Lot Holders will have their Santoy common shares cancelled as of the Effective Date and will not be entitled to receive any Santoy Incentive Warrants unless they have elected, by duly completing and returning to the Depositary an Election Form prior to the Effective Date, to retain their Santoy common shares and to receive a certificate representing Santoy Incentive Warrants.

If the election was not made, the registered Small Lot Holder will be entitled to receive only $0.10 per Santoy common share owned. To receive this cash payment in exchange for a Small Lot, the registered Small Lot Holder must complete the Election Form and deliver the Election Form together with the certificate(s) representing the Small Lot within six years of the Effective Date to the Depositary at the address provided in the Election Form. Santoy will deposit funds with the Depositary sufficient to pay the cash payments to registered Small Lot Holders, which funds will be held in a trust account to be used to pay the cash payments. Upon expiry of six (6) years from the Effective Date, all unused funds will be returned to Santoy. Due to the administrative costs of effecting exchanges, if a cash payment payable to a Small Lot Holder would be less than $10, such payment will not be made.

Registered Small Lot Shareholders should refer to the Election Form and the plan of arrangement attached to the joint information circular mailed to shareholders in connection with the Santoy meeting and available on SEDAR under Santoy's profile for additional information.

Exchange of Common Shares for shares in Virginia Energy Resources Inc. Pursuant to the Arrangement, each of the issued Virginia Uranium Ltd. common shares will be exchanged for 1.2 shares in Virginia Energy Resources Inc. and each of the Santoy common shares will be exchanged at the ratio of five for one common share of Virginia Energy Resources Inc. As a result of this exchange, the new company will have post closing, approximately 54,377,279 common shares outstanding.

In order to receive the Virginia Energy Resources Inc. common shares for their Virginia Uranium Ltd. common shares, a registered Virginia Uranium Ltd. shareholder must complete and sign the Letter of Transmittal and deliver it, together with certificates representing their Virginia Uranium Ltd. common shares (in the case of registered Virginia Uranium Ltd. shareholders) and the other required documents, to the Depositary in accordance with the instructions contained in the Letter of Transmittal. The Letter of Transmittal was mailed to Virginia Uranium Ltd. shareholders in connection with special meeting of Virginia Uranium Ltd. shareholders held on May 21, 2009 and is available from the Depositary upon request.

Santoy Amends Private Placement Financing Terms

Thu. July 16, 2009

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Jul 16, 2009 (Marketwire via COMTEX) -- SANRF | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating --

Santoy Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:SAN) is announcing, in the context of the market, a re-pricing of the proposed non-brokered private placement financing announced May 14, 2009, subject to regulatory approval. Each Unit will comprise one common share at a price of 10 cents per share, and one-half of one share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant is exercisable at 12 cents per share for a five-year period.

The warrants will have an acceleration clause whereby if the Company's shares trade at or greater than 40 cents for 10 consecutive days, the remaining exercise period may be reduced, at the election of the Company and upon notice to the warrant holders, to 25 days. The securities issued under this placement will be free trading as a consequence of an Exchange exemption due to the prospective level disclosure in the Company's Information Circular dated April 24, 2009 setting out the Plan of Arrangement with Virginia Uranium Ltd. This private placement will be completed by close of business on July 16, 2009.

A portion of this proposed financing will be applied to increasing the Company's equity position in VA Uranium Holdings Inc., which initial transaction was announced in a Company news release dated Dec. 22, 2008 wherein Santoy and a private corporation, Virginia Uranium Ltd. have agreed to a business combination by way of a Plan of Arrangement, now scheduled to close July 21, 2009. Virginia Uranium Ltd. owns an interest in the Coles Hill uranium deposit located in southern Virginia.

Coles Hill, considered to be one of the largest undeveloped uranium deposits in the United States, had been advanced through to the feasibility stage in 1982 and has now been investigated by 220 drill holes. It has an estimated measured and indicated resource of 119 million pounds of U3O8 (at a cut-off grade of 0.025 per cent U3O8) based on a National Instrument 43-101 technical report on the Coles Hill property prepared for Santoy Resources by Behre Dolbear and Company Ltd., Marshall Miller and Associates Inc., and PAC Geological Consultant Inc. (Dr. Peter Christopher, P.Eng.) dated Feb. 2, 2009, and revised April 29, 2009. This report is available on SEDAR and on Santoy Resources' website at www.santoy.ca.

Santoy Resources has ambitious exploration plans for 2009

Sooo...Santoy is already a 50-50 partner with Denison which is (and has been) mining out west.

by Sam Kiri
company news image

Progress continues at Canadian Venture listed Santoy Resources Ltd. (TSX.V: SAN). The company just entered into a series of transactions involving the acquisition of Virginia Uranium Ltd. which brings the Coles Hill uranium property into its fold. Santoy however has not lost focus on the development of its other properties and has allocated funds for exploration efforts on its 100% owned and Joint Venture properties in the Athabasca Basin of Saskatchewan and the Central Mineral Belt of Labrador.

Santoy and its 50-50 Joint Venture partner Denison Mines Corp. have approved a $300,000 budget for fieldwork on the Hatchet Lake and Murphy Lake properties for 2009. Ground electromagnetic surveys are currently underway on the Tuning Fork and Tuning Fork West grid on the Hatchet Lake property. In addition, Denison is completing a compilation of previous drilling results and subsurface geology on the properties. Core drilled in previous years, but never sampled, will be logged and sampled with a focus on semi-massive sulphide and weakly radioactive altered zones at or near the unconformity.

Confirming its expansion ambitions Santoy staked two new properties in the Moore Lake – Webb River area on the southeast margin of the basin in March 2009. Formerly held by Denison Mines Corp., Santoy’s new McGregor and Toews claims cover the shallow margin of the basin and have structural and geochemical indications favourable for uranium deposits. Compilation of previous work is planned prior to fieldwork.

Former JV partner Wescan Goldfields has now been reduced to a non-participating, non-voting, carried 0.5% NSR royalty interest in the remaining claims on the Dowler, Fir Island, Hozempa, and Richards properties. Audiomagnetotelluric (AMT) survey lines were conducted on the Fir Island property in 2008, and identified a resistive high or uplift in the basement. Portions of the former Pattyson Lake property were re-staked and are now held 100% by Santoy. These claims are in good standing until at least 2010 and no fieldwork is planned for 2009.

Santoy’s development strategy is characterised by joint ventures and the company has formed a 50-50 joint venture with Forum Uranium Corp. (TSX.V: FDC) to re-stake part of Santoy’s former Karpinka Lake property. Forum will serve as the operator on this project. The property hosts several airborne electromagnetic conductors with crosscutting N70 structures prospective for shallow basement-hosted uranium deposits similar to Cameco’s Millennium deposit. The property is serviced by the existing Key Lake mine road and is close to Cameco's Key Lake processing facility. The JV has approved a small budget for ground surveys in 2009, aimed at defining targets for later drilling.

Santoy holds a 34% joint venture interest in the Bruce River and Mustang Lake properties, operated by Mega Uranium Ltd. The JV will complete a limited program of prospecting on the Bruce River property in 2009 to follow-up on encouraging uranium results from 2008. A small field program is also planned for Santoy’s 100%-owned Anomaly 7 property and is designed to follow-up on targets identified by Santoy’s 2007 program and promising results announced by competitors near the northern property boundary.

The company’s development endeavours will be buoyed by the recently announced $5.0 million non-brokered private placement. A portion of this proposed financing will be applied to increasing the Company's equity position in VA Uranium Holdings, Inc wherein Santoy and Virginia Uranium Ltd., have agreed to a business combination. Virginia Uranium Ltd. currently owns a 13% interest in VA Uranium Holdings, Inc., which owns the Coles Hill uranium deposit.

Santoy is entering a new phase with its recent arrangement to acquire the Coles Hill uranium deposit. Despite that significant development, Santoy remains committed to its other projects. Development through joint ventures has enabled Santoy optimise its capital deployment. We have plans to meet the management in June and hope to provide an update at that time. (Emphasis mine...SB)

Beware of Uranium’s Midas Touch

Excellent analogy!

Danville Register & Bee

By Published by The Editorial Board

Published: June 5, 2009

To the editor:

I am so frustrated by our populace’s belief in the uranium mining “study.”

Study of what? How much money the investors of a Canadian company will make? How much money Walter Coles and his friends will make? How much money everyone other than these people will lose by being subjected to the loss of their livelihoods and lives by having one of the most hazardous and toxic businesses in the world located in their backyards?

Please, wake up and fight, folks. We need every voice.

We, the citizens of Virginia — and more narrowly, the citizens of Pittsylvania County — have been described by Norman Reynolds (Virginia Uranium CEO and the CEO of Santoy upon the transaction’s closing), as being “… very nuclear friendly, … it’s a state that is very comfortable and supportive of nuclear energy.”

I guess what hit me here was where this quote was referenced — in an article on the Web site http://www.midasletter.com, an investor’s online newsletter. Most of us know the story of Midas — everything he touched turned to gold.

But if you read the “rest of the story,” here’s how it goes: Midas rejoiced in his new power, which he hastened to put to the test. He touched an oak twig and a stone; both turned to gold. Overjoyed, as soon as he got home, he ordered the servants to set a feast on the table.

“So Midas swelled at first with pride when he found he could transform everything he touched to gold; but when he beheld his food grow rigid and his drink harden into golden ice then he understood that this gift was a bane and in his loathing for gold, cursed his prayer.”

In a version told by Nathaniel Hawthorne, Midas found that when he touched his daughter, she turned into a statue as well.

Is this our future by allowing the uranium bulldozer to roll?

Just say no.

And you better say it loud.

Uranium Topic of the Day Thursday [Maybe]

By John Crane

Published: May 14, 2009

Virginia Uranium Ltd. hopes to formalize its merger with Canadian-based Santoy Resources Ltd. during a meeting next Thursday in Chatham. That’s the same day a state subcommittee convenes in Richmond to mull the final draft of a study that would determine whether uranium mining can be done safely in the commonwealth.

Walter Coles Sr., chairman of Virginia Uranium Inc., said the meeting among VUL shareholders was planned prior to the announcement of the subcommittee’s date and will probably be rescheduled.

“It was set long before the subcommittee (meeting),” Coles said Thursday. “We may change it.”

A 300-page circular for the meeting also gives notice of a regular meeting of Santoy’s shareholders on the same day. VUL’s meeting in Chatham will be closed to the public.

Virginia Uranium Ltd. is the funding arm for Virginia Uranium Inc.’s proposed project at Coles Hill, where VUI hopes to mine and mill a 119-million pound uranium ore deposit about six miles northeast of Chatham. Virginia has had a moratorium on uranium mining since 1982.

The Virginia Coal and Energy Commission’s Uranium Mining Subcommittee is overseeing a study, to be conducted by the National Academy of Sciences, to determine whether the practice can be performed safely in the state. The subcommittee is holding a meeting at 2:30 p.m. Thursday in Room D at the General Assembly Building in Richmond.

Once the merger between Virginia Uranium Ltd. and Santoy Resources Ltd. is finalized, the merged company will be referred to as Newco and will appear on the Toronto Stock Exchange. It will provide funding for Virginia Uranium Inc.

A 300-page circular, outlining the merger’s aspects, including risks, was drawn up for the meeting. The circular mentions that Virginia Uranium Holdings, or Holdco, which owns 100 percent of VUI, has bought and has an option to buy more properties surrounding Coles Hill to provide “sufficient setback from local residents” to minimize impact of mining operations on those areas.

Coles said there are no plans in the near future to purchase additional land around Coles Hill, and they would depend on how the uranium mine and mill would be designed. Coles said a circular is routinely provided during mergers to outline all aspects of the transaction to shareholders, including investment risks such as possible drops in share prices, project delays and other issues.

A wide range of risks is included in a circular to make sure the transaction is not fraudulent, Coles said.

“In this day and age of full disclosure, it’s important to be upfront and conservative,” said Patrick Wales, VUI geologist and spokesman.

Eloise Nenon, a board member of Southside Concerned Citizens, which opposes uranium mining, said it was “strange” that VUL would schedule its meeting the same day as the subcommittee’s. She said Santoy is investing in uranium mining here because there is a strong push to ban the practice in Canada.

The Coles and Bowen families currently own 78 percent of Holdco, but will have 71 percent after the merger is finalized, Coles said. VUL currently has 12 percent ownership of Holdco. After the merger, Newco will have a 20 percent share in Holdco, which owns all of Virginia Uranium Inc.

The warrants will have an acceleration clause whereby if the Company's shares trade at or greater than $0.50 per share for ten consecutive days, the remaining exercise period may be reduced, at the election of the Company and upon notice to the warrant holders, to 25 days.

A portion of this proposed financing will be applied to increasing the Company's equity position in VA Uranium Holdings, Inc., which initial transaction was announced in a Company news release dated December 22, 2008 wherein Santoy and a private corporation, Virginia Uranium Ltd., have agreed to a business combination by way of a plan of arrangement. Virginia Uranium Ltd. currently owns a 13% interest in VA Uranium Holdings, Inc., which owns the Coles Hill uranium deposit. Santoy's shareholders will have the opportunity to vote on the business combination at its AGM on May 21st, 2009.

The balance of the financing will be used for general corporate purposes. All subscription receipts for this financing will be held in escrow pending a vote in favour of the Virginia transaction. It is anticipated that this financing will close simultaneously with the plan of arrangement in early June, 2009. The financing is subject to regulatory approval.

Any securities issued under this placement will not be subject to statutory or exchange hold periods as they will be issued pursuant to the plan of arrangement. In accordance with the regulations of the TSX Venture Exchange, finder's fees or commissions may be payable to accredited agents in respect of this financing.

The Coles Hill uranium deposit is located in southern Virginia, USA and is considered to be one of the largest undeveloped uranium deposits in the United States. It has an estimated measured and indicated resource of 119 million pounds of U308 at a cut-off grade of 0.025% U308 based on a National Instrument 43-101 technical report on the Coles Hill property prepared for Santoy by Behre Dolbear and Company, Ltd. dated February 2, 2009, revised April 29, 2009, Marshall Miller and Associates, Inc., and PAC Geological Consulting Inc.

Santoy Resources Agrees to Acquire Stake in Virginia Uranium

To use their word, Santoy is rejoicing over the merger. Folks, companies don't rejoice over "maybe's".

by Sam Kiri

company news image

Falling markets and weak economies hardly fuel optimism. But for companies that seek to grow through acquisitions, hard times bestow remarkable opportunities. Low valuations in the face of weak commodity prices have left many companies and projects at attractive prices. They are however not for faint-hearted but are for those who have the experience and ability to develop them. The glut of acquisitions markets witnessed over the last few months confirms that the mining industry is entering a new phase.

In what could be a similar scenario, Canadian Venture listed Santoy Resources (TSX.V: SAN) has signed a definitive agreement to enter into a series of transactions involving the acquisition of Virginia Uranium Ltd. (“Virginia”). Santoy will hold an initial 20.8% interest in VA Uranium Holdings Inc. (“VAU”) which holds the Coles Hill uranium property, as well as various financing and M&A rights. Santoy plans to increase its interest gradually to approximately 30% through further investments and financings of development work. Santoy has the right of first refusal on future financings.

Santoy management has a nose for good projects and this acquisition follows a series of similar acquisitions and joint venture agreements. With 30 years of mining exploration experience including three major gold discoveries in Eskay Creek, Snip and Brewery Creek that were subsequently put into production, Santoy’s President & CEO Ronald Netolitzky is not in the habit of acquiring companies nonchalantly. Netolitzky has strict acquisition criteria which include advanced stage projects in safe and workable jurisdictions, preferably with a resource estimate.

Virginia and the Coles Hill uranium property nicely slots into Santoy’s strategy and business model. Located in southern Virginia, the Coles Hill deposit and is considered to be one of the largest undeveloped uranium deposits in the US. It has a National Instrument 43-101 compliant estimated measured and indicated resource of 119 million pounds of U308, grading 0.06% average at a cut-off grade of 0.025% U308. The deposit, which was advanced to the Feasibility stage 25 years ago and then shelved with the price collapse of uranium, has a high grade core that is expected to support mining in most uranium price environments.

An ambitious development programme is in store for Coles Hill. Santoy intends to provide funding for prefeasibility and scoping studies as well as for selective infill and step-out drilling programme to increase the size of the defined resource. The launch of an Environmental Impact Study is expected soon together with a community outreach programme. Santoy is aware of the sensitive nature of uranium projects and plans are underway to expand public relations efforts. They include sponsoring uranium related research initiatives at local universities and supporting National Academy of Sciences study of uranium mining in Virginia. Santoy would like to see Coles Hill move into production by 2014/2015.

Prospects of Coles Hill are further enhanced by favourable local dynamics for uranium projects in Virginia. The state is no stranger to uranium and has four nuclear power plants operated by Dominion Resources, guzzling some 1.6 MM lbs of U308 annually. Another nuclear plant is expected to come on stream by 2011. Nuclear power currently accounts for 35% of Virginia’s electricity supply.

Prospects of Coles Hill are further enhanced by favourable local dynamics for uranium projects. The Coles family and numerous other surrounding land owners are substantial shareholders in the company. The large local ownership makes the Coles Hill project unique and will prove to be a critical component for its success. The state is no stranger to uranium and has four nuclear power plants operated by Dominion Resources, guzzling some 1.6 MM lbs of U308 annually. Another nuclear plant is expected to come on stream by 2011. Nuclear power currently accounts for 35% of Virginia’s electricity supply.

The state of Virginia also has a strong AREVA nuclear infrastructure including commercial nuclear fuel production facility, engineering & services and a heavy equipment manufacturing partnership with Northrop Grumman. This is further enhanced by its strong naval nuclear infrastructure such as Babcock & Wilcox naval nuclear fuel facility and Northrop Grumman naval shipbuilding and maintenance facilities. Virginia is also the home base to five nuclear powered aircraft carriers. Clearly, Virginia is a state ripe for uranium projects with a guaranteed large and a growing market.

Mining laws and mining environments differ widely in the US with some states showing considerable hostility towards mining projects. Virginia however is a notable exception and has a long mining history. For instance, the first commercial coal mining in the US occurred near Richmond, the state capital, in 1748.

Today, over 400 different minerals have been found and more than 30 different mineral resources are produced in Virginia at a combined annual value of nearly $2 billion. Virginia is the nation’s 10th largest producer of coal, ranks 5th in the production of crushed stone and is a large natural gas producer following the development of coal-bed methane (CBM) reserves. Not surprisingly, Virginia boasts of several prominent mining companies including Alpha Natural Resources (NYSE: ANR) and Massey Energy (NYSE: MEE).

While we rejoice the addition of Coles Hill, it is important to highlight Santoy’s other projects in its portfolio. Santoy has two joint-ventures and an option agreement in place in the Otish Basin Northern Quebec. Its 100% owned Marc-Andre Prospect has mineralisation with similar setting to Strateco’s Matoush deposit. The company also has an Option Agreement with Xemplar Energy Corp. (TSX.V: XE) to acquire up to 100% interest in 1,241 claims totalling approximately 61,194 hectares in four main blocks in the Otish Basin. (emphasis mine..SB)

SANTOY RESOURCES LTD. 611 - 675 West Hastings Street Vancouver, British Columbia, V6B 1N2 April 24, 2009

To: The Shareholders of Santoy Resources Ltd. ("Santoy")

The board of directors (the "Santoy Board") invites you to attend an annual and special meeting (the "Santoy Meeting") of shareholders (the "Santoy Shareholders") of Santoy Resources Ltd. ("Santoy") to be held at 1:30 p.m. (Pacific Standard Time) on Thursday, May 21, 2009 at the Renaissance Hotel, 1133 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

On February 26, 2009, we entered into a combination agreement, which was amended and restated as of April 14, 2009 (the "Combination Agreement") with Virginia Uranium Ltd. ("Virginia"), VA Uranium Holdings, Inc. ("Holdco") and certain shareholders of Holdco, whereby, pursuant to a statutory plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") and subject to the terms and conditions of the Combination Agreement, Santoy will acquire an interest in Holdco indirectly by acquiring all of the outstanding Virginia common shares (the "Virginia Common Shares") and directly by acquiring certain shares of Holdco, in each case in exchange for Santoy common shares ("Santoy Common Shares"). Holdco's wholly owned subsidiary, Virginia Uranium, Inc., a Virginia corporation, controls the leasehold development and operating rights of the Coles Hill uranium property in southside Virginia.

Under the Arrangement, (i) registered Santoy Shareholders immediately prior to the effective time of the Arrangement will be issued one-quarter (¼) of one (1) Santoy warrant (each full warrant, a "Santoy Incentive Warrant") for each Santoy Common Share held; and (ii) each one (1) issued Virginia Common Share will be exchanged for six (6) Santoy Common Shares. Each Santoy Incentive Warrant will be exercisable to acquire one (1) post-Arrangement Santoy Common Share at a price of $0.12 for a period of twelve (12) months following the closing of the Arrangement. To enable the Arrangement to be carried out, Santoy's corporate jurisdiction will, at the Santoy Meeting, be continued from Alberta to British Columbia (the "Santoy Continuance"). In addition, Santoy Shareholders will be asked to approve a consolidation of the Santoy Common Shares on a one (1) new for each five (5) old basis (the "Consolidation"). The Consolidation may be effected at such time as the directors determine is appropriate following the Arrangement.

Santoy Shareholders will be asked at the Santoy Meeting to approve the annual general meeting matters, the Continuance, the Arrangement and the Consolidation. The Santoy Board, other than an interested director, being Ronald Netolitzky, based, in part, on the unanimous recommendation of the Special Committee of Santoy comprised of independent directors (the "Special Committee") has, excluding an interested director, unanimously determined that the Arrangement is fair to the Santoy Shareholders and is in the best interests of Santoy and the Santoy Shareholders and recommends that Santoy Shareholders vote FOR the Arrangement. The determination of the Santoy Board is based on various factors, including the receipt by Santoy from its financial advisor, Toll Cross Securities Inc., of a fairness opinion in respect of the Arrangement, which are described more fully in the accompanying notice of annual general and special meeting and management information circular (the "Circular").

The Santoy Board has further determined that the Consolidation and Santoy Continuance are in the best interests of Santoy and the Santoy Shareholders and, excluding an interested director, unanimously recommends that the Santoy Shareholders vote FOR the Consolidation and Santoy Continuance.

To be effective, the Continuance and Arrangement must each be approved by special resolutions passed by at least 66 ⅔% of the votes cast by holders of outstanding Santoy Common Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Santoy Meeting. The Consolidation must be approved by an ordinary resolution passed by greater than 50% of the votes cast as described above.

All of the directors, officers and holders of greater than 12% of the Santoy Common Shares, together holding approximately 7% of the outstanding Santoy Common Shares as at February 26, 2009, have entered into voting agreements with Virginia committing to support the Arrangement. Completion of the Arrangement is subject to the approval of the Supreme Court of British Columbia and the satisfaction of certain conditions and it is not possible at this time to determine precisely when or if the Arrangement will become effective. Subject to obtaining the approvals of the Santoy Shareholders, the Virginia Shareholders, the TSX Venture Exchange and the Supreme Court of British Columbia to the Arrangement, and to satisfying certain other conditions, the Acquisition is expected to close on or before May 26, 2009.

The Circular provides a description of the above transactions and includes certain additional information to assist you in considering how to vote on the resolutions. You are urged to read this information carefully and to consult your tax, financial, legal or other professional advisors.

We encourage you to complete, sign, date and return the accompanying form of proxy, or voting instruction form, in accordance with the instructions set out therein and in the Circular so that your Santoy Common Shares can be voted at the Santoy Meeting in accordance with your instructions.

Yours very truly,

/s/"Ronald K. Netolitzky"
