SASKATOON, July 21 /CNW/ - JNR Resources Inc. (TSXV:JNN) (the 'Company') is pleased to provide the following update and results on the Topsails uranium project in central Newfoundland.

The Topsails uranium project consists of 7,304 mineral claims totalling 182,600 hectares. It is a 50/50 alliance between the Company and Altius Resources Inc. (jointly the 'Companies') that was established to explore for volcanic-hosted uranium deposits in a defined area of west-central Newfoundland near the mining community of Buchans.

The 2009 program budgeted at approximately $500,000 was initiated in the spring with the collection of some 120 lake sediment samples and the initiation of a 3D Discover/GOCAD exploration model. An extensive prospecting and mapping program is now underway and will continue into the fall. It will focus on six separate areas identified by the 2008 program that returned highly anomalous geochemistry, including up to 5,260 ppm uranium in one sample and 35,000 ppm copper in another. A nominal amount of trenching and soil geochemistry will also be carried out.

Also completed during the winter of 2009, was an advanced re-processing and interpretation of an 18,812 line-kilometre fixed wing radiometric and magnetic survey flown in 2008. This work identified more than 60 targets for follow up, several of which were not evaluated by prospecting in 2008.

A property-wide lake sediment geochemical survey, completed during 2008, indicated anomalous uranium values with associated molybdenum and fluorine in a number of areas, the largest being 20 by 10 kilometres in size. With background values less than 10 ppm, anomalous uranium values of greater than 30 ppm, to a maximum of 535 ppm, were identified in more than 30 lakes. These samples combined with historical surveys highlighted four distinct areas of extensive uranium-molybdenum enrichment. The geochemically anomalous lakes lie within or adjacent to granitic rocks related to the caldera complexes targeted for exploration, and confirm the prospectivity of the Topsails rocks for hosting volcanic-related uranium mineralization.

It should be noted that lakes in the vicinity of uranium deposits in the prolific Athabasca Basin are commonly anomalous in uranium and pathfinder elements associated with the mineralization. Molybdenum and fluorine are common pathfinder elements diagnostic of volcanic-hosted uranium deposits. Furthermore, volcanic-hosted uranium deposits are a significant source of high-tonnage moderate-grade uranium, with one of the best examples being the Streltsovka caldera, Russia's largest uranium resource.

Further results will be released as they become available.

JNR is led by a highly experienced management team with proven discovery success in uranium exploration. In addition to its projects in Newfoundland, the Company has an interest in fourteen properties totalling some 339,328 hectares of highly prospective ground in the renowned Athabasca Basin of northern Saskatchewan.
