Survey Preliminary Results

Main Showing drill plan - April 9, 2007 News Release April 9, 2007

Analyses of 111 surface rock chip samples collected in 2005 from several showings on the Blue Hills property included 18 samples exceeding 0.18% U3O8 and 33 samples exceeding 0.09% U3O8. Highest values reported were 0.56% U3O8, 0.53% U3O8, 0.46% U3O8 and 0.42% U3O8. A total of 57 samples returned values exceeding 0.045% U3O8. (Table of 2005 sample results) Three channel samples from the Main Showing at Blue Hills ran 0.11% U3O8 over 1.5 metres, 0.18% U3O8 over 1.4 metres and 0.14% U3O8 over 1.3 metres. Detailed mapping of the scintillometer testing and sampling of the Blue Hills Main Showing outcrop and trench clearly shows the uranium mineralization to be continuous within the fine grained volcanic host in a stratabound setting over nearly ten metres. Five composite rock chip samples were collected from the eastern end of the bedrock exposed in the trench. Three of the samples collected contained values ranging from 0.10% U3O8 to 0.18% U3O8, consistent with the channel sample values and further demonstrating the bedding control and extent of the uranium-bearing rock units.

A soil anomaly of 3-5 times background extends for just over 100 metres to the east downhill from the Main Showing outcrop. To the south two strong soil anomalies with uranium values 3-13 times background extend east-west for 200 and 300 metres and one is open to the west. These soil anomalies parallel the strike direction of the host felsic volcanic rocks and may be sourced by the southern limb of the folded Main Zone. Trenching to 2 metres deep by a small backhoe failed to reach bedrock in these anomalous areas so the source remains to be located. A boulder sample located 400 metres to the south of the Main prospect assayed 1.14%.

A composite chip sample from bedrock outcrop on the Chan prospect area, located about seven kilometres west of the Main Showing assayed 0.66% U3O8 at a volcanic - sedimentary contact. A composite chip bedrock outcrop sample from the Baggs Hill granite intrusive assayed 0.49% U3O8.

Four additional samples, collected near the Hawks Nest, Fat Lip, Main and #4 prospects assayed between 0.14% U3O8 and 0.36% U3O8. These were from coarse angular float considered to be sourced by these prospects.

Two radiometric anomalies along the Couteau River gave 2,000 CPS (counts per second) but the other was 2 to 3 metres wide and gave radiometric counts up to 8,000 CPS. Uranium oxides have been recognized at the showing. Both anomalies called Chan North prospects, appear to be in highly strained and sheared granite and associated with strong silica and sericite alteration.
