SASKATOON, SK, Sept. 20 /CNW/ - JNR Resources Inc. (TSXV:JNN) (the 'Company') has been advised by the project operator Denison Mines Corp. (TSX:DML - News) that a planned 1,750-metre diamond drilling program is underway on the Bell Lake uranium Joint Venture located near the northeastern edge of the Athabasca Basin of northern Saskatchewan. The Company owns a 40% interest in the project, with Denison owning the remaining 60%.

The Company has also received the results of the 2006 summer/fall and 2007 winter exploration programs. Those programs consisted of some 235 kilometres of line cutting, 375 kilometres of ground magnetometer and time domain electromagnetic (TDEM) surveying and property-wide composite sandstone boulder sampling. In total, 646 samples were collected.

The geophysical program was designed to better define a discrete and extensive airborne EM signature interpreted from GeoTEM and MegaTEM surveys flown in 1999 and 2005. This program successfully identified a coincident, several kilometre long east-west EM/magnetic conductive trend through the central portion of the project lands, which is being targeted by the current drilling program. Several boulder samples with elevated uranium levels were also obtained from this area. The coincident EM/magnetic signature is interpreted to represent graphite-bearing pelites. The 2007 program is budgeted at $925,000.

The Bell Lake property currently consists of ten mineral claims totalling 30,767 hectares. Historic work consisted largely of airborne magnetic and EM surveys. In 1980, Saskatchewan Mining Development Corporation, one of the predecessor companies to Cameco, tested two east-west trending conductors with five diamond drill holes. The results were encouraging in that three of the holes returned anomalous uranium, lead and nickel values from altered basal sandstone, along with a favourable clay type, illite, plus chlorite. The best analytical result was 586 ppm uranium over 0.5 metres from the unconformity in drill hole BE-4. Depth to the unconformity was from 235 to 305 metres. Also of note is that the Bell Lake property is proximal to Cameco's La Rocque Lake uranium zone, where intersections of up to 31.9 % U(3)O(8) over 7.0 metres have been reported.
