Radium Analyses Identify Drill Sites at Kirrin's Alexis River Uranium Project in Labrador

Kirrin Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:KYM) is pleased to announce the completion of
radium analyses at its Alexis River uranium property located in southeastern
Labrador. Interpretation of the analyses points to two narrow radium anomalies,
correlating well with uranium values, as drill targets within the confines of
Anomaly Lake, which has reported up to 0.28% U3O8 in lake sediment.


Commenting on the analyses, Kirrin President and CEO, Derek J Moran said: "We
intersected 0.754% U3O8 across 0.2 m from 58.9 m to 59.1 m core length during a
short drill program at Alexis River which indicated that uranium mineralization
is indeed present in the local environment. This radium study focuses our
continuing exploration program to target more substantial occurrences of uranium
at the Alexis River property."


Kirrin retained Robert H. Morse, Ph.D., P.Eng. to oversee and interpret the
radium analyse which were done by Pylon Electronics of Ottawa on a suite of
seventy lake sediment samples from Anomaly Lake. This relatively small lake had
been identified by the Geological Survey of Canada and by Kirrin and its
antecedents as very high in uranium values, both in sediment and water.
Follow-up exploration of the Anomaly Lake catchment basin, including drilling
under the lake, did not discover important uranium mineralization, and thus the
cause of the elevated uranium geochemical anomaly was uncertain. Dr. Morse
concluded from his interpretation of the radium analyses that the most likely
explanation is that a high grade uranium source exists in either the rocks
immediately beneath or adjacent Anomaly Lake, and both uranium and radium were
leached from this source and transported hydromorphically along a structure
passing through Anomaly Lake.


Dr. Morse determined that the elevated radium correlated quite well with
elevated uranium, with the highest values for both being near the centre of
Anomaly Lake. In detail, however, the radium and uranium distributions are
different. The elevated uranium values show a single large anomaly parallel to
and occupying much of the centre part of the lake. In contrast, although the
higher radium values occupy roughly the same area as the uranium anomaly, the
radium anomaly is split in two along the middle, forming two long narrow
anomalies. The easternmost anomaly is the larger of the two and extends for
about 400 metres.


Among other conclusions by Dr. Morse: (a) the radium values are well above
background determined at other uranium locations in Canada at which similar
analyses have been performed, as are uranium values, (b) the radium values are
much lower than would be expected in secular equilibrium with uranium,
indicating that most of the anomalous uranium did not arrive in the lake
sediments physically in old mineral grains but by chemical precipitation from
lake or subsurface meteoric water, and (c) the radium values are much too high
to have developed by decay of uranium in the sediments in the 10,000 years since
the last ice age.


Kirrin is earning up to 70% interest in the Alexis River property by spending
$1.25 million on exploration by 30 June 2012. Kirrin is current on its
obligations.
