Kirrin and Ucore Agree Revised Terms at Bottom Brook REE Project

03/10/2011 1:30pm

Marketwired Canada


Kirrin Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:KYM) is pleased to announce that agreement
has been reached with Ucore Rare Metals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:UCU) on revised terms
for Kirrin's acquisition of an interest in the Bottom Brook Rare Earth Element
(REE) property in Western Newfoundland. The agreement aligns Kirrin's
expenditure obligations with the proposed prospecting and drilling programs to
advance exploration which has already defined a substantial Heavy REO component
to mineralization on the property. 


The Bottom Brook property hosts a number of excellent REE targets characterized
by high grade samples associated with discrete isolated magnetic high anomalies.
One of these targets was drill tested in 2007 and 2008 and resulted in a number
of drill intersections including 4.47% TREO over 5.64 meters with a HREO to TREO
ratio of 9.2%. Another drill intersection of note was a 0.3 meter intersection
assaying 15.71% TREO, which had a HREO/TREO of 7.8%. Individual oxides from this
0.3 meter sample included 3.87% La2O3, 7.42% Ce2O3, 2.10% Nd2O3 and 0.67% Y2O3.
Subsequent to the drilling a prospecting program was carried out, in 2009,
focusing on other isolated magnetic anomalies. High grade mineralization was
found to be associated with two of these targets and sampling was limited on
another three targets due to overburden cover. Values of 1.69% and 6.8% TREO
were obtained from Bottom Brook B anomaly and values between 0.89% and 10.04%
TREO were obtained from Bottom Brook C. The HREO to TREO ratios of these samples
are between 8.76% and 15.95% (Kirrin news release February 8, 2010). Work to
date indicates that the REE mineralization is occurring within a cluster of
isolated magnetic anomalies in the 0.5 km to 2.0 km size range and sampling in
proximity to the magnetic targets has shown good indications of high grade TREO
with a substantial Heavy REE component. 


A recently completed re-evaluation of the airborne data and the prospect
sampling data base has defined a total of nine target areas for follow-up
including those described above. Additional compilation of the previous
analytical results from the drilling and prospecting has defined a substantial
Heavy REO component to the Bottom Brook mineralization which consistently gives
a HREO/TREO of between 8% and 15%. The proposed REE exploration program
comprises one or more of detailed prospecting, rock sampling, geological
mapping, a soil geochemical survey, and a ground based magnetics survey followed
by magnetic data modelling and trenching. Dependent upon results, a drill
program will follow.


Kirrin may earn a 50% interest in the Bottom Brook property by spending
$2,045,000 on exploration by December 31, 2014 and making share payments to
Ucore of 300,000 Kirrin shares. Kirrin is in good standing on the option
agreement having expended approximately $960,000 on exploration and issued
150,000 Kirrin shares. Upon Kirrin fulfilling its earn-in obligations, the
parties will form a 50: 50 joint venture, with each partner contributing its pro
rata share of future expenditures, or Ucore may elect to convert to a 35%
interest, which will be carried through to completion of a pre-feasibility
study. If either party dilutes its interest to less than 10% in the joint
venture, its interest shall be converted to a royalty of 1% or 1.5% of gross
sales, depending on underlying royalties, of which 0.5% may be bought-out for
$500,000.


REE assays are reported as Total Rare Earth Oxides (TREO). TREO includes all the
Rare Earth Oxides plus Yttrium Oxide. As per industry standard, TREO are broken
down into Light Rare Earth Oxides (LREO) and Heavy Rare Earth Oxides (HREO).
LREO consists of Ce2O3, La2O3, Nd2O3, Pr2O3 and Sm2O3 and HREO consists of
Eu2O3, Gd2O3, Tb2O3, Dy2O3, Ho2O3, Er2O3, Tm2O3, Yb2O3, Lu2O3 and Y2O3.
Percentage HREO is calculated by dividing HREO by TREO. The most abundant REE
from the analysis described above are Cerium, Lanthanum and Neodymium.
