UNC Teton Exploration Drilling- to give it its full title - conducted UNC's mineral exploration programme and performed contract exploration and drilling in the USA and abroad.

In 1981, a 50% interest in Teton's Australian subsidiary was sold to North Kalgurli for A$5M - under the agreement North Kalgurli would jointly fund exploration work throughout Australia (1).

Teton Australia also has a 25.5% interest in the Honeymoon Uranium Project.

In Paraguay, the company obtained a 24.7 million hectare exclusive exploration lease in the chaco area (2, 3), the most intensively explored part of the country, where large numbers of native Paraguayans have been removed, harassed and killed, to make way for agribusiness and mining corporations. Uranium was discovered in the chacoby 1983 (4).
