Uranium North Completes Phase 1 Drilling at Amer Lake, Assays Pending |
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - May 27, 2009) - Uranium North Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE:UNR) provides an update on the Phase 1 drill program on its 100% owned Amer Lake uranium project in Nunavut. The in-fill drilling program has been completed. A total of 1216 metres in 10 reverse circulation (RC) drill holes were completed to test continuity of the uranium mineralization within the Main Zone deposit. Based on scintillometer (RS-120 Super Gamma Scintillometer) readings, anomalous radioactivity has been intersected in all of the drill holes, providing indications for continuity of mineralization between drill holes within the Main Zone. A total of 586 RC samples will be assayed at the Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC) Geoanalytical Laboratories. Assay results are expected within 4 to 6 weeks. The Company is currently preparing for the Phase 2 drill program, designed to test for continuation of uranium mineralization down dip and along strike of the deposit. Allan Armitage, Ph.D., P.Geol., Vice President - Exploration of Uranium North, is a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, and is responsible for quality control of exploration undertaken by the Company and has reviewed and approved the technical information in this release. GeoVector Management Inc. of Ottawa managed the field program this year. Alan Sexton, MSc, P.Geol., the Project Manager and a Qualified Person under NI 43-101, supervised the technical aspects of the 2009 field program.
