AUC LLC, an Affiliate of Bayswater, Completes 70 Additional Drill Holes at Reno Creek Uranium Project, Wyoming

15/02/2012 12:00pm

Marketwired Canada


Bayswater Uranium Corporation (TSX VENTURE:BYU)(PINKSHEETS:BYSWF) is pleased to
report that AUC LLC ("AUC"), an affiliate that holds the Reno Creek properties
and operator of the Reno Creek Uranium Project, has drilled an additional 70
holes to complete its 350 hole 2011 delineation drilling program at the Reno
Creek project located in Campbell County, Wyoming. In addition, AUC plans to
submit permit applications in the 2nd quarter of 2012 to the U.S. Nuclear
Regulatory Commission ("NRC") for a Source Materials License and to the Wyoming
Department of Environmental Quality ("WDEQ") for a Permit to Mine uranium at the
Reno Creek site now that it has completed baseline environmental work as
previously reported.


The recently completed 70 holes, that formed a portion of the 2011 drilling
program, were principally designed as step-out holes to test along the strike of
identified mineralization in at least three separate roll front systems in the
southwest Reno Creek area. Highlights of this drilling phase are as follows:




--  Drilling defined significant uranium intercepts utilizing cutoff grades
    of greater than or equal to 0.03% eU3O8 and grade-thickness values of
    greater than or equal to 0.20. Drill holes intercepts that meet or
    exceed the cutoff, as stated, are summarized in the table below. 
--  Nearly 80% of the drill holes encountered mineralization exceeding the
    listed grade/GT cutoffs. 
--  The best hole intersected 38.5 feet grading 0.068% eU3O8 for a
    grade/thickness ("GT") interval of 2.63, including an intercept of 18
    feet grading 0.09% eU3O8 for a GT of 1.62. 



AUC's 2011 drilling campaign included 350 holes for a total of 141,000 feet of
drilling in the southwest Reno Creek area, including 7 core holes and 2
re-entries of historical holes.

With completion of environmental baseline studies, AUC is finalizing
applications for a Source Materials License to the NRC and a Permit to Mine to
the WDEQ. In order to optimize the quality and effectiveness of the
applications, AUC elected to initiate a collaborative, publicly open procedure
with the NRC during November 15-17, 2011, called a Pre-Submission Audit. NRC
staff traveled to the Reno Creek Project site and toured the proposed project
development area. NRC staff then reviewed the draft application, including both
the Technical Report and Environmental Report, in detail, to determine the
application's general level of completeness. NRC staff found the documents very
thorough and identified specific sections of the document whose enhancements
could significantly reduce future Requests for Additional Information during the
technical review phase. NRC's comments are now being incorporated into the final
applications. Key findings of environmental baseline work are as follows:




--  The mineralized Production Zone sandstone horizon is physically confined
    above and below by a low permeability shale or mudstone across the
    entire project area. Detailed core testing of these mudstone aquitards
    has revealed very low permeability ranging from 0.0005 to 0.0009
    millidarcies. 
--  The four multi-well pump tests completed, document that the hydrologic
    conditions such as permeability and transmissivity are within the normal
    operating ranges exhibited at existing commercial ISR production
    facilities in Wyoming and neighbouring states as well as for projects
    under on-going permitting or recently permitted for production in
    Wyoming.  
--  No hydrologic communication has been detected between the mineralized
    production sandstone and the underlying and overlying aquifers in the
    area of pump testing. This finding also confirms that there is no
    evidence of hydrologic leakage or communication through historical drill
    holes. 



AUC's plans for 2012 include drilling of up to 550 exploration and delineation
holes on various Reno Creek area properties, continuing its permitting
activities with the NRC and the WDEQ, preparation of an updated NI 43-101
Resource Report, and preparation of a NI 43-101 compliant Prefeasibility
Study/Preliminary Economic Analysis. In addition during 2012, the Company
intends to commence engineering and design of the Production Units and Central
Process Plant. AUC's total budget during 2012 is approximately $8.0 million (US)
that has been fully funded by Pacific Road Resources Funds. The 2012 drilling
campaign will commence in March, 2012. 


Bayswater and Pacific Road Resources Funds ("PRRF") are developing the Reno
Creek Uranium Project through Reno Creek Holdings Inc. ("RCHI"), which owns 100%
of the Project through RCHI's wholly owned subsidiary AUC. Bayswater currently
has a 13.47% interest in RCHI. PRRF is entitled to convert its investment in
RCHI into common shares of Bayswater at any time up to six months following the
later of completion of a feasibility study or receipt of all requisite mining
permits, but in any event PRRF shall convert its investment not later than April
7, 2015, provided certain conditions are met. Upon conversion of PRRF's
investment, Bayswater will own a 100% interest in RCHI which holds the Reno
Creek property. 


The Company's exploration activities are conducted under the supervision of
George M. Leary, M.Sc., P. Eng. (B.C.), President of the Company, and Victor
Tanaka, B.Sc., P.Geo. (B.C.), Executive VP and Chief Operating Officer of the
Company. Both are Qualified Persons under NI 43-101. George Leary is the
qualified person responsible for the technical information in this news release.

uranium company to have strategic landholdings in each of Canada's most
important producing and exploration regions - the Athabasca Basin, the Central
Mineral Belt, and the Thelon Basin. Bayswater combines a balanced portfolio of
advanced and exploration projects with the uranium expertise of its technical
and managerial teams. To capitalize on the strong growth of the nuclear
industry, the Company will continue to pursue acquisition opportunities of
advanced-stage uranium projects with production potential. Bayswater's vision is
