Typhoon Exploration inc. (TSX VENTURE: TOO) ("Typhoon") announces its latest sampling results on its Cote-Nord property located east of Havre St-Pierre in Quebec, where Typhoon has a 100% interest.
The recently discovered uranium mineralization coincides with radiometric high anomalies. The radiometric airborne survey performed by GPR International shows important anomalies measuring several kilometers.
The uraniferous mineralization is included within metric pegmatite with biotite, hematite, plagioclase, potassic feldspar and uraninite-uranophane. These dykes cut gneiss or leucocratic granite assemblage.
The samples were taken in different areas on the properties. Each of the new indices coincides with radiometric high anomalies.
The following figure represents the best results from this first reconnaissance phase. The samples were prepared by ELS CHEMEX in Val d'Or and the multi spectral analysis for uranium and thorium were processed at the ALS CHEMEX laboratory in Vancouver.
