The assay results include high grade intersections at Roughrider East, which extend the strike length of deposit to 160m, including a high grade core over 100m.
The Roughrider deposit itself has been bolstered by new mineralization intersected outside the extents of the recently upgraded resource of 28Mlbs U3O8 including 24M lbs at 11.7 % U3O8 average grade. The extension is not material.
Roughrider East was not included in the recent resource update for the Roughrider deposit itself, and it represents significant upside potential for the overall resource of the Midwest North East property.
Aggressive delineation drilling will continue next winter, on the heels of two of the largest drilling programs completed in the Athabasca last year (44,370m drilled in 129 holes).
Drilling next winter will focus on in-fill and extension drilling at Roughrider East, and follow-up drilling of alteration intersected to the northeast of Roughrider, and south of Roughrider East, along a 700 m resistivity anomaly.
Three rigs completed 18,840m in 52 holes during the 2010 summer program. Summaries including down-hole gamma probe results have been release previously for all drill holes
Only 19 of 52 drill holes in the 2010 summer program were completed on the Roughrider deposit itself. Objectives included closing off mineral zones on some lines, and in-fill drilling of mineralization outlined by widely spaced holes on other lines.
