The program will consist of 80,000ft of drilling as well as metallurgical test work with the goal of bringing the historical uranium resource into a National Instrument (NI) 43-101 compliant resource.
The $1.9m program is expected to commence during the second week of May and take four months to complete.
The program will utilize two drills in order to confirm historical results with approximately 400 holes being drilled to an average depth of 200ft.
The program will be followed by an initial NI 43-101 resource estimate, expected in the fourth quarter of 2011.
The Juniper Ridge property is comprised of 197 claims and one state mineral lease totalling 4,710 acres in size.
It has a historical geological resource of 5.2 million tons grading 0.067% U3O8 for a total of 6.97 million pounds of uranium.
According to Crosshair, the historical resource estimate was completed by AGIP Mining Co in 1986, prior to the implementation of NI 43-101 and is not compliant with current accepted reserve and resource classifications as set forth by the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy.
Crosshair is engaged in the exploration and development of uranium, vanadium and gold in the US and Canada.
