U3O8 Corp's Infill Drilling Confirms Continuity of Uranium & Multi-Commodity Mineralization Through the Southern Part of the ...

Marketwired Canada


U3O8 Corp. (TSX VENTURE:UWE) a Canadian-based company focused on exploration and
resource expansion of uranium and associated commodities in South America,
reports assays from a further 17 bore holes in the 19,000 metre ("m") infill
drilling program completed in the southern part of the Berlin Project, Colombia,
as well as from additional trenching in the northern part of the mineralized
trend.  These data are being incorporated into the first National Instrument
43-101 ("NI 43-101") resource estimate undertaken on the property since the
historic resource1 of 12.9 million tonnes at an average grade of 0.13% U3O8 (38
million pounds ("mlb") U3O8).  The historic resource was estimated on the
southernmost 4.4 kilometres ("km") of a 10.5km long mineralized trend and did
not include estimates for other commodities that occur with the uranium.


(1) The Berlin resource estimate is historical and is reported in Castano, R.
(1981), Calcul provisoire des reserves geologiques de Berlin, sur la base des
resultants des sondages, unpublished Minatome report, 15p. There has been
insufficient exploration work completed to verify the historic estimate and it
should not be considered a NI 43-101 compliant resource. As the 38mlb U3O8
historic estimate is based on only 11 widely-spaced drill holes, 20 trenches and
three adits, it is regarded by U3O8 Corp. as merely an indication of the uranium
resource potential of the southernmost 4.4km of a 10.5km long syncline (Figure
1). U3O8 Corp. has now completed an infill drilling program with the aim of
defining a mineral resource at Berlin.


"U3O8 Corp's drilling has shown remarkable consistency of the uranium-bearing
layer in the southern part of the Berlin Project, and we have intersected
excellent intervals including 8m at 0.12% U3O8 and 6.7m at 0.13% U3O8. Not only
are the uranium grades predictable, but the same can be said for the suite of
potential by-products including phosphate, vanadium, rare earths and other
metals," said Dr. Richard Spencer, President and CEO of U3O8 Corp. "The infill
drilling program has now been completed towards our aim of generating a maiden,
interim NI 43-101 resource estimate on the southernmost 3km of the Berlin
Project by the end of 2011. In addition, further trench results from the
northern part of the 10.5km mineralized trend highlight the potential of the
Berlin Project to contain a resource substantially in excess of the historic
resource."

(2) Assay results - lbs/st Is an abbreviation for pounds per short ton. 1 short
ton = 2,000lbs or 0.907 metric tonnes. Potential quantity and grade are
conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to define a
mineral resource at the Berlin Project to date and it is uncertain if further
exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource. 


U3O8 Corp. has now completed the planned exploration and infill drilling program
of 82 bore holes (18,547m) that was designed to define an initial NI 43-101
resource on the southern part of the Berlin Project. Assays from the 58 drill
holes press released so far confirm excellent continuity of mineralization in
the fertile layer at Berlin as illustrated in the uranium grade-thickness map
(Figure 6).


The mineralized layer in the Berlin Project occurs as a canoe-shaped fold that,
in cross-section, has an asymmetric "U"-shape (Figures 3, 4 and 5). In order to
visualize the distribution of mineralization, the layer is shown as an
"unfolded", flat sheet in Figure 6. This diagram shows the distribution of each
pierce point, the point at which each bore hole intersected the mineralized
layer, as well as the distribution of trenches that were excavated where the
layer comes to surface. The uranium grade-thickness value (the grade of the
mineralized interval multiplied by its thickness) of each pierce point and
trench location was used to generate a contour map that illustrates the
continuity of grade through the project area.
