SASKATOON, Sept. 18 /CNW/ - JNR Resources Inc. (TSXV:JNN) (the 'Company') has contracted Goldak Airborne Surveys to fly high resolution gradient magnetic surveys over its 100% owned Crackingstone, Black Lake and Newnham Lake uranium projects, located in the Athabasca Basin of northern Saskatchewan. Approximately 15,700 line kilometres will be flown in total. The results of these surveys will be used to better define targets on the Black Lake and Newnham Lake projects for drill testing during the 2008 winter campaign. This work is expected to be completed by mid to late October, 2007.

The Crackingstone project comprises 10,665 hectares and is located near Uranium City, adjacent to the north rim of the Athabasca Basin. Historic work on the property dates back to the 1950's and 1960's and was largely focused on the two southern claims that cover the Crackingstone Peninsula. During that time period the Gulch deposit and a number of uranium showings were discovered. A number of reserve estimates have been published for the Gulch deposit, none of which follow the prescribed terminology of NI 43-101. The most recent, a 1975 estimate by Gulch Mines Inc., reported "drill-indicated reserves" of 201,000 tons grading 0.09% U(3)O(8) (0.05% cut-off) and "possible reserves" of 315,000 tons at a similar grade. (Source: Mineral Bulletin MR213, June 1986, Energy, Mines and Resources, Canada). JNR believes the estimate to be relevant information but has not completed work necessary to verify its reliability. In 2006, JNR conducted a 1,350-line kilometre VTEM survey that identified a number of promising looking conductors for follow-up.

The Black Lake project comprises 41,783 hectares and is located along the north rim of the Athabasca Basin, approximately 20 kilometres southeast of the town of Stony Rapids and along the seasonal road to that community. The property covers a 40-kilometre strike length of the Snowbird/Black Lake structure, a major crustal feature that represents the strike extension of the mineralized Virgin River shear (Centennial Zone), located some 225 kilometres to the southwest. Prior exploration by the Company includes a 1,400-line kilometre airborne magnetic and MEGATEM survey flown over the property in 2005, and over 190 kilometres of linecutting and ground EM carried out during the past two winters. This work successfully identified a number of potential bedrock conductors for drill testing that range two to eight kilometres in length.

The Newnham Lake project comprises 27,723 hectares and is located on the northeastern margin of the Athabasca Basin, approximately 50 kilometres east of the historic Nisto uranium deposit. The property was staked after a review of historic work identified a number of geological, geophysical and geochemical features typical of unconformity-type uranium deposits. Prior exploration by the Company includes a 1,550-line kilometre airborne EM and magnetic survey flown in 2005 and a 900-line kilometre DIGHEM EM survey flown in 2006. Also completed in 2006 was some 110 kilometres of linecutting and ground EM. This work successfully identified a number of conductive and structural trends, most notably a broad 15-kilometre long, east-northeast-trending conductor associated with a metasedimentary assemblage within the central portion of the property. This area is also characterized by a large number of surficial geochemical anomalies in lake sediments, peats and soils (up to 5000 ppm uranium).

Details of follow-up programs will be finalized once the results from the airborne surveys have been received and interpreted.
