SASKATOON, July 9 /CNW/ - JNR Resources Inc. (TSXV:JNN) (the 'Company') is pleased to announce delivery of its third drill and that the 2008 summer diamond drilling program is well underway on the Company's 100% owned Way Lake uranium project.

The Company has taken delivery of a third diamond drill to complement its existing two drills. The Duralite 500N Heliportable drill is capable of reaching depths of 800 metres and can easily be moved by ski- or float-equipped aircraft. Dynamic Drilling of Saskatoon is currently readying the drill for its initial assignment at Yurchison Lake, with an anticipated start up of mid July.

The company's 100% owned Yurchison Lake property is located along Highway 905, 100 kilometres south of the Rabbit Lake uranium mine and mill. It consists of four mineral claims totalling 12,660 hectares. The project area hosts numerous well-defined electromagnetic (EM) conductors and geophysically interpreted structural features. Prospecting programs on the property over the past two summers identified significant uranium and molybdenum mineralization in both outcrop and float samples, including uranium values of up to 0.30% U(3)O(8).

In the winter of 2008, a 4,500-metre drilling program was initiated at Yurchison Lake. A total of five holes (1,215 metres) out of a planned 20 to 25 holes were completed prior to moving the drill to the Black Lake project. This initial phase of the program verified the presence of structurally disrupted and altered graphitic pelitic gneisses in Wollaston Group metasediments. The second phase of the drilling program will be completed during the summer of 2008 and the analytical results obtained from the winter phase will be integrated with those of the summer program.

At Way Lake, one drill is currently exploring in the vicinity of the Walker Lake showings, which occur within a 60-kilometre arcuate and structurally displaced EM conductive trend in the southwest portion of the property. The Walker Lake showings are spatially associated with this conductive trend and occur over a 3.0-kilometre long by 1.0-kilometre wide area with grab samples ranging from 0.017% to 0.079% U(3)O(8) (Reference: March 19, 2008 news release). As the summer season progresses, this drill will continue to explore portions of this major conductive system that are readily accessible by land and that have the structural and geological requirements essential to host substantial concentrations of uranium mineralization.

The second drill has been converted to its heliportable configuration and is currently drilling at the EWA showing where uranium values up to 0.492% U(3)O(8) were identified in the summer of 2007. This drill will also test portions of the conductive trend described above that are not accessible by land, as well as the West Way (up to 0.475 % U(3)O(8)) and Nob Hill (0.130% to 0.141% U(3)O(8)) showings that were discovered during the 2007 prospecting campaign. This drill will also continue testing the Hook Lake area where two grab samples collected from a massive pitchblende vein in 2006, returned 40.1% and 48% U(3)O(8), respectively (Reference: October 12, 2006 news release).
