COMPLETES 11,109 HA. CLAIM STAKING IN ATHABASCA BASIN, SASKATCHEWAN
International Montoro Resources Inc. (“IMT”) and Belmont
Resources Inc. (“BEA”) have completed the staking of
11,109 hectares adjoining the Companies 750 hectare Crackingstone
River Property (“CRR”) located on the north shore of
Lake Athabasca and 8 km. SW of Uranium City, Saskatchewan.
Following
the preliminary evaluation on the CRR property visit by independent
consulting geologist, R.A. Bernatchez, P.Eng., additional staking
was recommended to the west and north, based on the release of the
results of a 2001 SNRC Airborne Magnetic and Radiometric Survey
by the Saskatchewan Geological Survey of the Tazin Lake (Uranium
City) area. The magnetic resolution of this area has clearly defined
the Crackingstone Fault which is the westerly extension of the St.
Louis Fault. The St. Louis Fault is host to the Ace, Fay, Verna,
and Bolger deposits. The Cinch Lake Uranium mine is located at the
easterly extension of the Crackingstone Fault at its intersection
with the northeasterly trending Black Bay Fault. The Crackingstone
Fault extends westerly through the CRR property and onto the newly
staked ground. Two additional northeasterly trending faults, the
Spot Lake and Powerline Fault intersects the Crackingstone Fault
west of the CRR property and onto the new claims. The 2001 SNRC
Airborne Radiometric Survey has identified 15 strong-moderate and
20 moderate-weak radiometric anomalies over the newly staked ground.
The newly staked claims now adjoin a large claim block to the south
owned by CanAlaska Uranium Ltd. (formerly CanAlaska Ventures- “CVV”).
Cameco Corp. (“CCO”), the world’s largest uranium
producer, holds a block of claims to the west of IMT and BEA property.
The companies have seen an increase of activity in the northwest
area of the Athabasca Basin with a recent announcement by JNR Resources
Inc. (“JNN”) that airborne electromagnetic and magnetic
geophysical surveys are underway on the 10,655 hectare Crackingstone
project. JNR has contracted Geotech Ltd. to fly a 1,350 line-km
survey over the Crackingstone property using its helicopter-borne
VTEM systems. The JNR claims are located nearby to the south and
southeast of the CRR property.
