International Montoro Resources Inc. (the “Company”) (“IMT”- TSX Venture) is pleased to announce that it has completed five holes (867 meters) of diamond drilling on the Company’s Serpent River property. The property is located about 13 km east of the town of Elliot Lake, that was the center of Rio Algom’s uranium production in the area from the 1950s through the 1970s.
Due to an early spring break and thaw in the ground, further drilling has been postponed until the area dries out. This 2nd Phase drilling is targeted to explore a new style of mineralization not previously recognized in the Elliot Lake area and it is a significant target upon which to focus our efforts. The drill core will be assayed for both the Uranium and REE contents. Results will be announced following receipt of assays and compilations.
Montoro’s 1st phase 2,755 m drill program at Serpent River found uranium values in three different lithological environments. Of the five holes that intersected the mineralized quartz pebble conglomerate (QPC), assays were consistent with the average historical grades, but below the conglomerate beds IMT intersected mineralized aplite dykes and sills, as well as highly altered mineralized breccia at the unconformity between the Archean basement rocks and overlying Proterozoic sediments.
Intersections from the beccia zones (graded as high as 0.089% U3O8) occurred
near an east-west trending fault zone that has been traced over a length of
some 700m and is open in both directions. The alteration and mineralization
of this breccia unit suggests that it formed a permeable horizon that facilitated
the flow of the hydrothermal fluids possibly carrying uranium.
The area where this fault zone cuts the breccia unit will be probed to determine
if it contains enhanced uranium values.
In November 2009 IMT re-assayed certain drill intersections, and six holes spanning an area of about 550m by 300m, returned significant concentrations of rare earth oxides – total REE plus Yttrium (see November 25, 2009 news release).
This press release has been reviewed and approved by Don Hawke, M.Sc., P.Geo., consulting geologist and a qualified person as defined in NI 43-101.
