SASKATOON, SK, Feb. 26 /CNW/ - JNR Resources Inc. (TSXV:JNN) (the "Company") is pleased to provide the following update on a number of uranium projects that are operated by the Company and are jointly held with Denison Mines Corp. (TSX:DML - News). The properties are located in the Athabasca Basin of Northern Saskatchewan.

A planned 3,000 metre diamond drilling program along with approximately 75 kilometres of linecutting and a ground electromagnetic (EM) survey is underway on the Lazy Edward Bay project. The drill program is designed to test interpreted bedrock conductors defined by ground EM surveys completed in the summer of 2006 and winter/spring of 2007.

Drill targets will include: 1) Three relatively untested, long strike-length EM conductors identified in the summer of 2006 and coincident with drill-confirmed structural disruption of the unconformity; and, 2) Five separate complex bedrock conductive systems defined by the 2007 ground EM surveys.

The planned 2008 linecutting and geophysical program will focus on the westernmost claims within the Lazy Edward Bay project and will ground define future structural/conductive drill targets interpreted from a 1,800 line-kilometre airborne EM and magnetic survey flown during the fall of 2006.

A planned 135 kilometre linecutting and ground geophysical program is underway on the South Dufferin project. This program is based upon the results of a 1,200 line-kilometre airborne EM and magnetic survey that identified seventeen 'zones of interest' in areas interpreted to be structurally complex. These zones consist of north-northeast trending conductors, locally exhibiting correlation with magnetic lineaments. In total, eight grids will be established and surveyed. A follow-up diamond drilling program during the summer of 2008 will be finalized once this work is complete.

On the Pendleton Lake project, a 500-metre diamond drilling program is planned for the summer of 2008. It will follow-up and complete the helicopter-supported program that was suspended in mid-October 2007 due to adverse weather conditions. In 2007, three holes comprising 416 metres were drilled, one of which was abandoned in sheared graphitic pelites. In spite of the poor production, the results were encouraging in that all three holes intersected broad zones of structural disruption, and strongly altered and sulphide-rich graphitic units with anomalous geochemistry. The 2008 program will be carried out in conjunction with a drilling program on the Company's nearby and 100% owned Way Lake project.

The Company has received the results from the 2007 exploration program on the Kelic Lake project. This program focused on targets identified from a 975 line-kilometre airborne EM and magnetic survey, and consisted of some 84 kilometres of linecutting and 130 kilometres of ground EM surveying on four separate grids. A number of targets for follow-up have been identified. Planning and the timing of additional work are underway.

The Company holds a 25% interest in the Lazy Edward Bay, Pendleton Lake and Kelic Lake projects, which are Joint Ventures with Denison. South Dufferin is under option to Denison.
