The company explained that findings in the area between Arad and Sodom, near the Dead Sea. the field indicated that production of any uranium that would be found is not profitable, according to Globes.

Gulliver received a one-year permit last April to explore for uranium in the area. Last month, it launched a $130,000 project to explore an existing borehole.
