SANTOY INCREASES LAND HOLDINGS AND COMMENCES AIRBORNE SURVEY IN
LABRADOR
Santoy Resources Ltd. has acquired by staking a 100-per-cent interest in an
additional 228 claims (5,700 hectares) in the Central mineral belt (CMB) of Labrador.
This brings Santoy's 100-per-cent-owned landholdings to 46,700 hectares. Santoy
also has an option to earn up to a 75-per-cent interest in an additional 28,675
hectares owned by Monster Copper, bringing Santoy's total land position to 75,375
hectares. The new claims were staked as a result of a recent data compilation that
shows that the structure hosting the Anomaly 7 showing is part of an up to 400-
metre-wide structural zone that has been traced for an overall distance of
approximately seven kilometres.
As previously reported, historic drilling on the Anomaly 7 showing encountered
significant mineralization over a strike length of 400 metres. Highlights of Brinex
sampling in 1978, 1979 and 1980 include values of up to 2.12 per cent U3O8 from
an outcrop located 500 metres west of the drill area. Anomaly 7A occurs a further
1,000 metres west along the same structure, and has yielded a value of 0.098 per
cent U3O8. An outcrop 500 metres to the east of the most easterly drill hole yielded a
value of 0.30 per cent U3O8.
Santoy's field crew is flagging a grid over the Anomaly 7 structure in order to re-
establish the previous sample sites and confirm the historic values, prospect the area
in detail and gather structural and geological information along the zone in order to
better orient a proposed late fall drilling program, for which permits are pending.
Fugro reports that an airborne radiometric and magnetic system has been installed
on an A-Star helicopter and has been mobilized to site in Makkovik to start the
8,000-line-kilometre survey commissioned by Santoy.
Santoy has also acquired by staking the historic Bur (Burbidge) Lake uranium
occurrence situated in the lower Foster Lake area of Saskatchewan. The Bur
occurrence consists of a uraniferous calc-silicate horizon, which has been offset by
cross-faulting. To date, the mineralized horizon has been traced for about 540
metres. Previous exploration included trenching and diamond drilling with uranium
grades reportedly in the order of 0.18 per cent U3O8.
