The grant of $100,000 will be used for the drilling program at the Lost Pond uranium project scheduled to commence shortly.
Kirrin president and CEO Derek Moran said that the Junior Exploration Assistance program is just one example of the encouragement the company has received since it commenced exploration in the Province of Newfoundland & Labrador.
"Its Department of Natural Resources has been of considerable support to Kirrin, displaying both pragmatism and commercial understanding," Moran said.
Kirrin also said that it expects the private placement announced on 26 October 2010 to close on or about 26 November 2010.
