![]() The degree of radioactivity within the mineralized intervals is highly variable and associated with visible pitchblende mineralization. The reader is cautioned that scintillometer readings are not directly or uniformly related to uranium grades of the rock sample measured, and should be used only as a preliminary indication of the presence of radioactive materials. Natural gamma radiation in drill core that is reported in this news release was measured in counts per second (cps) using a hand held RS-121 Scintillometer manufactured by Radiation Solutions, which is capable of discriminating readings to 65,535 cps. A lower zone of strong mineralization is present from 141.5m – 150.5m which includes 0.46m of >10,000 cps in 4 narrow discrete intervals. The strongest mineralization is present from 118.0m – 134.0m which includes 9.31m of >10,000 cps, including 8.85m of continuous >10,000 cps with peaks up to 52,900 cps. Weak mineralization extends into the overlying Devonian sandstone. A total composite of 69.5m of mineralization within 2 discrete intervals of variably weak to strong radioactive mineralization was intersected from 105.5m to 346.0m. From 156m to 368m, basement lithology is predominantly a semi-pelitic gneiss. The basement lithologic sequence from 108.6m to 156.0m is comprised primarily of pelitic gneiss becoming graphitic from 142m to 156m. Overburden continues to 99.2m, immediately underlain by Devonian sandstone to a depth of 108.6m which overlies basement rock. A down-hole gamma survey could only be completed to 129.7m depth, ending within a strongly mineralized interval. Due to technical difficulties completing the hole, the hole was terminated at 368.0m. The hole was collared as an angled hole collared 10m south of PLS13-124 (strongest interval returning 0.29% U3O8 over 6.5m, see new release Feb 05, 2014). ![]() PLS15-343 (line 615W) is the 6th hole defining the R600W zone and represents a very significant upgrade to the strength and width of mineralization of the R600W zone. Additional winter drilling is planned for the R600W zone. The previous 5 holes into the R600W intersected only low grade mineralization. The R600W zone presently has a defined strike length of 30m (line 615W to line 585W) and a lateral grid north-south width of up to approximately 20m, as defined by 6 holes. This anomaly lies along an ENE trend, parallel and just north of the PL-3B EM conductor. The radon anomaly is located between 540W and 630W and may be associated with inferred north-south cross cutting structures. The R600W zone discovery was the result of follow-up by drilling of a radon in sediment anomaly identified during the summer 2013 program. 8.85m continuous mineralization (121.28m – 130.13m) of >10,000 cps radioactivity with peaks up to 52,900 cps.9.31m total composite mineralization of >10,000 cps radioactivity, including:.65.5m continuous mineralization (between 105.5m – 171.0m) including:.Land-based, high-grade zone 555m west of the Triple R deposit.Hole PLS15-343 (line 615W) Highlights Include: It immediately puts the R600W zone into an elite class, hosting significant high-grade uranium mineralization, similar to that seen in the Triple R deposit to the east.” “This is an absolutely tremendous result that gives us high grade mineralization over half a kilometer west of Triple R deposit, which is wide open in all directions.
