SASKATOON, SK, Aug. 13, 2012 /CNW/ - JNR Resources Inc. ('JNR' or the 'Company') is pleased to announce a National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101") compliant inferred mineral resource estimate for the Fraser Lakes Zone B of 6,960,681 lbs. of U(3)O(8) at an average grade of 0.030% with significant quantities of rare earth element oxides (REO), specifically La(2)O(3), Ce(2)O(3), Yb(2)O(3), and Y(2)O(3) (see table below). The Fraser Lakes Zone B is located on the Company's 100% owned Way Lake uranium project, 55 kilometres east of the Key Lake uranium mine in the Athabasca Basin of northern Saskatchewan.
Rick Kusmirski, President & CEO, comments: "We are very pleased to announce the first mineral resource estimate for the Fraser Lakes Zone B. Although a relatively small mineralized zone, the positive geological attributes of this deposit offers excellent potential for the discovery of other significant high-grade basement-hosted uranium mineralization in the Fraser Lakes district."
The Fraser Lakes Zone B uranium and rare earth oxide (REO) mineralization is associated with ca. 1800 Ma granitic pegmatite dykes entrained within the tectonic decollement between Wollaston Group pelitic and graphitic pelitic gneisses of Paleoptoerozoic age and underlying Archean granitoid orthogreisses and foliated granites. Mineralization is accompanied by brittle to brittle-ductile deformation and varying degrees of chlorite, hematite, and clay mineral alteration. The significant uranium and metal endowment in the Fraser Lakes district, combined with the lack of sandstone cover and shallow depth to mineralization, allows for efficient and timely exploration of these targets.

Notes:
1. The effective date of the inferred mineral resource estimate is
August 10, 2012.
2. The estimate was prepared by independent qualified person, Dr.
Allan Armitage, P.Geol., of GeoVector Management Inc.
3. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have
demonstrated economic viability.
The key assumptions, parameters and methods used to estimate the mineral resource are as follows:
-- The estimate was prepared using Gemcom GEMS 6.3 software.
-- The estimate is based on 25 NQ sized diamond drill holes (4,603
metres) drilled by JNR Resources in four campaigns from June
2008 to April 2011. The drill holes are spaced primarily 75 to
250 metres apart along a strike length of approximately 1,400
metres. The drill holes tested mineralization to a vertical
depth up to 175 metres.
-- The estimate incorporated half metre composite samples; all
samples were analyzed at the Saskatchewan Research Council
Geoanalytical Laboratories in Saskatoon, SK, a Standards
Council of Canada (CCRMP) certified analytical laboratory.
-- An average specific gravity of 2.74 was used based on testing
of 38 samples of representative mineralized core from nine
drill holes that intersect the resource models.
-- Two separate sub-parallel resource models were constructed
within the host rock granitic pegmatite dykes. The models were
used to constrain the composite values chosen for
interpolation, and the ore blocks reported in the mineral
resource. A block model (x - 503590, y - 6322130, z - 525,
rotated 30 degrees) with block dimensions of 10 x 1.5 x 1.5
metres in the x, y and z directions was placed over resource
model solids with only that proportion of each block below the
topographic/overburden surface and inside the solid recorded.
-- Grades for uranium (U3O8%) and REO were interpolated into the
blocks by the inverse distance squared (ID2) method using a
minimum of 2 and maximum of 12 composites to generate block
grades in the inferred resource category. The search ellipse
used to interpolate grade into the blocks measured 250 x 250 x
4 metres (principle azimuth: 335°, principle dip: -27°,
intermediate azimuth: 245°). The size and orientation of the
search ellipse approximates the strike, dip and thickness of
the pegmatite resource models and takes into account the wide
spacing of the drilling.
An independent NI 43-101 technical report supporting this mineral resource estimate will be filed on SEDAR within 45 days from the date of this news release. Dr. Allan Armitage, P.Geol, and Alan Sexton, MSc, P.Geo., of GeoVector Management Inc., are responsible for the technical report and comments related to the resource estimate and its parameters and are "independent qualified persons" for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects of the Canadian Securities Administrators and have verified the data disclosed in this release.
The content of this release has been reviewed and approved by JNR's Director of Exploration, Dr. Irvine R. Annesley, P.Geo., and independent qualified persons, Dr. Allan Armitage and Alan Sexton.
