SASKATOON, April 28 /CNW/ - JNR Resources Inc. (TSXV:JNN) and Altius Minerals Corporation, jointly the "Companies", are pleased to provide an update on the 2009 fall diamond drilling program on the Rocky Brook project located in the Deer Lake sandstone basin of west-central Newfoundland. A total of 1,958.2 metres in 38 holes were completed. Significant structure and highly anomalous uranium enrichment were intersected in drill core; however, the source of the high-grade uraniferous boulders continues to be enigmatic.

The drilling program primarily targeted coincident resistivity and water geochemical anomalies developed from IP geophysical and water sampling surveys completed in 2009 and 2008 respectively. Several holes also tested anomalous stratigraphy thought to be the result of faulting in the Humber Falls sandstone formation, the apparent host rock for the uraniferous boulder trains.

The most significant radioactivity was intersected in RB-09-229, where two approximately 2-metre-wide zones returned uranium assays up to 112 ppm and associated copper enrichment up to 230 ppm. The radioactivity in RB-09-229 further extends a plunging bedrock-sourced corridor of anomalous radioactivity identified in previous drilling in 2006 and 2007. Other significant geochemical enrichment includes a 3.5-metre-wide zone of anomalous copper (greater than 100 ppm) with elevated uranium (up to 13.1 ppm) identified in RB-09-232, and a 0.5-metre-wide sample with 91.5 ppm uranium and 1070 ppm copper in RB-09-256.

In addition to the geochemical enrichment mentioned above, several holes identified for the first time major structural disruption in the sandstone. The combination of geochemical enrichment and identified structure continues to support a structurally-hosted exploration model for the source of the high-grade uranium boulders. These features will be the focus of future diamond drilling programs on the Rocky Brook project.
