The data gathered from this drill program will supplement information learned from the two uranium data libraries acquired earlier this year, which will enable the company to complete the NI 43-101 compliant resource calculations and to advance the mine permit application.
The fall 2010 program for the Gas Hills will consist of approximately 100 drill holes totaling 25,000ft.
Drilling will occur in four prioritized areas which are George-Ver/Frazier-Lamac, Day Loma, Loco-Lee, and Rock Hill.
The purpose of this program is to confirm and expand known areas of mineralization and the drilling information will also help determine final pit designs and enable core sampling for further metallurgical testing.
Twelve to fifteen drill holes will be completed as monitor wells for baseline water quality testing, hydrology evaluation, and general permitting purposes.
In addition, eight geo-technical holes are planned as part of a preliminary evaluation of a mill/heap leach facility/mill tailings site.
The fall 2010 drill program is slated to be completed by mid-November.
