Uranium North Completes Drilling on the Amer LakeVANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Sep 01, 2011 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Uranium North Resource Corp. ("Uranium North" or the "Company") CA:UNR +6.90% announces the completion of the 2011 drill program on the Company's 100% owned Amer Lake uranium deposit in Nunavut. The program was designed to test for additional uranium mineralization along strike of the Main Zone deposit in an attempt to increase the existing 19.3 million pound uranium resource(i).A total of 15 reverse circulation drill holes were completed to the southeast of the inferred resource to a maximum depth of 204 metres. All of the drill holes reported elevated and anomalous scintillometre readings with the exception of three holes that did not reach their target depth due to drilling difficulties."The anomalous and elevated CPS (counts per second) readings suggest the 2011 Amer Lake program successfully expanded mineralization at the Main Zone to the southeast. The lab will allow us to determine to what extent we are able to increase the current resource," says Mark Kolebaba, President and CEO of Uranium North Resources Corp.All samples have either been received by the lab or en-route to the lab for assay testing. The results will be used to calculate an updated resource on the Amer Lake deposit.Alan Sexton from GeoVector Management Inc. is the acting Qualified Persons for the field operation.
