NORTHWESTERN AIRBORNE RESULTS IN NIGER IDENTIFY AT LEAST 15 HIGHLY PROSPECTIVE URANIUM ANOMALIES
Northwestern Mineral Ventures Inc. has released the results from its comprehensive high-resolution, multisensor airborne geophysical survey in Niger, which covered 24,000 line kilometres over the company's wholly owned In Gall and Irhazer uranium concessions. Results have revealed numerous uranium anomalies defined by uranium-thorium ratios, including at least 15 top-ranked significant zones that are on trend with known uranium deposits and occurrences. Analysis is under way to define additional priority targets.
"The results from the airborne survey over our two Niger concessions are highly encouraging and tremendously exciting," said Marek Kreczmer, president and chief executive officer of Northwestern. "The highest-priority anomalies are situated between, and on structures that contain, uranium deposits along strike elsewhere in the district."
