JNR Resources Inc. (TSXV:JNN) and Denison Mines Corp. (TSX:DML); jointly the "Companies" have approved exploration programs totalling $1 M on the Moore Lake and Bell Lake joint ventures at meetings held in Saskatoon on December 17, 2010. These properties are all located in the Athabasca Basin of Northern Saskatchewan.
At the Moore Lake project where JNR has a 25% participating interest, uranium mineralization has been intersected in several distinct areas throughout the property, including high-grade mineralization within the 'Maverick zone'. The 2011 winter program is budgeted at $800,000 and will consist of a minimum of 3,000 metres of diamond drilling on several high priority targets that exist on the property. This program is scheduled to commence by mid January 2011.
On JNR's 40% owned Bell Lake project, the Companies approved a $200,000 winter program that will consist of 60 kilometres of linecutting, ground magnetics and Fixed Loop EM. Review of the historical drilling and geophysics on the Bell Lake property in the area of the proposed grid has identified several high priority targets requiring geophysical refining. Targets delineated in this survey are anticipated to be drill-tested in 2012.
JNR is led by a highly experienced management team with proven discovery success in uranium exploration. In addition to its projects in Newfoundland, the Company has an interest in 14 properties totalling some 340,197 hectares of highly prospective ground in the renowned Athabasca Basin of northern Saskatchewan.
