A total of 19 diamond drill holes for 1377.9m were drilled in August and September 2010 and of the 19 drill holes, seven holes were drilled for 630.40m at Huarabagoo, and 12 holes were drilled for 747.50m at Long Pocket.
The Long Pocket area is located 8km east of Junnagunna and incorporates the historic Sue, Outcamp and Black Hills prospects.
Drilling at Long Pocket was undertaken to test the tenor and distribution of mineralization at the historic Outcamp prospect area.
Drilling at Huarabagoo was undertaken primarily to obtain structural data on mineralizing structures in the northern part of that prospect.
The Huarabagoo drilling confirmed the Huarabagoo mineralization is bound by steep structures broadly parallel to the Redtree Dyke with indications of horizontal mineralization in coarser more permeable sandstone facies.
In this area, the width of the mineralized zone (>0.02% U3O8) is approximately 500m.
Currently work at Westmoreland is focused on completing a further program of environmental baseline data collection.
This program will bring an end to collection of major data for the eventual environmental study and will allow Laramide to be in a position to commence a feasibility study and file for permits once there is a clear path for the development of the project.
