CRACKINGSTONE – ORBIT URANIUM PROJECT, URANIUM CITY, SASK. AIRBORNE
SURVEY RESULTS
International Montoro Resources Inc. (“IMT”) (the “Company”)
is pleased to announce further developments from its exploration
programs at the Crackingstone – Orbit Uranium Projects located
near Uranium City, Saskatchewan. The Company and its partners Belmont
Resources Inc. (BEA on TSX.V) and Ultra Uranium Corp. (ULU on TSX.V)
have concluded that the Project areas have significant potential
for discovering new uranium mineralization. The recent airborne
radiometric and magnetic survey program carried out by the Company
and its joint venture partners covered a total area of 12,091 ha,
and consisted of 1,391 line km of 100 meter flight line spacing.
The 100 meter line spacing with low altitude and low survey speed
of the helicopter-borne system provided exceptional resolution and
sensitivity, and has identified numerous NE-SW radiometric anomalies
in the northwest and southeast portion of the property. Many of
these new radiometric anomaly areas have had no previous exploration
work. The joint venture partners are awaiting the assay results
from 290 channels and grab samples taken from 25 known uranium showings
on the Orbit-Crackingstone property this past summer. The samples
were submitted to the Saskatchewan Research Lab in Saskatoon, with
results expected soon.
Airborne Survey Highlights
The Orbit Fault Zone is a major NE-SW structural feature crossing
through the property with a strike length of over 15 km. The airborne
survey has identified a total of four major uranium anomaly trends
to the NW of this fault having linear strike distances of 1 to 4.5
km long. The first area is located east of Orbit Bay, and has a
strike length of 4 km. A second uranium anomaly trend is located
just north of Orbit Bay and also has a strike length of 4 km. A
third uranium anomaly trend is located north, west and northwest
of Showing #1451 (Beck #44 from L.S. Beck report “Uranium
Deposits of the Athabasca Region”) at Augier Lake. Other significant
uranium anomalies are located to the west and north of this showing.
A fourth significant uranium anomaly trend of over 4.5 km in length
is located along the west flank of the Orbit Fault near its northeast
extension on the property. Some of the strongest uranium anomaly
trends are located on the southeast portion of the property around
the original Crackingstone claim area, where over 18 significant
uranium showings occur.
The Company and its partners have also recently returned from
the Saskatchewan Geological Survey Open House, and met with a number
of individuals and groups with experience in the exploration and
development of uranium deposits in the Athabasca region. Management
will continue to discuss the Crackingstone – Orbit Project
developments with these parties, and looks forward to the commencement
of diamond drilling on selected targets in 2008.
