UCR Intersects 0.322% U3O8 Over 4.0 Metres from Drilling East Target
Release Date: January 8, 2007
For Immediate Release
January 8th, 2006 TSX.V:UCR
[Uranium City Resources Inc – UCR:TSX.V, A0F7F5:Berlin] (“UCR” or the “Company”) today announced initial drill results from the East Target, located in the Uranium City Mining District (UCMD), Northern Saskatchewan. UCR has to date completed a total of 21 holes at the East Target during the initial phase of drilling.Bob Kasner, CEO of UCR said, “As we have received these initial assay results from the East Target drilling campaign, it can be firmly said that these results are consistent with known historical drilling. More importantly, since these intersections are at shallow depths, it shows that the East Target potential is a story that is quickly evolving, especially when combined with results of exploration in the immediate vicinity, which outlined new areas of mineralisation. Assay results from the remaining drill holes are pending and will continue to be released, as they become available. These results will aid in determining where drilling efforts are to focus with resumption of drilling in late January.”
The core lengths are actual lengths as drilled and have not been adjusted for the true width of the mineralised zones. Hole ET06-02 (length = 135.32m and dip of -65°) had no significant mineralisation.
Mr. Kasner further stated, “Mineralisation within the UCMD is primarily associated with veins that “pinch and swell” along strike and at depth. Seeing the variety of widths associated within these drill intersections confirms that the mineralisation we’re seeing at the East Target is vein associated. The mineralised veins are stacked, as seen in the multiple lenses intersected in hole ET06-01. The drilling focus continues to be determining the lateral and vertical extent of this veining. Having identified a west-trending radioactive linear feature of over 600m (2,000’) that is on surface that and is parallel to the known mineralised system, will require a great deal of additional drilling and exploration work”.
Exploration by UCR geologists at the East Target uses scintillometers for determining presence of radioactivity and geological mapping to establish rock units, alteration and mineralisation characteristics. Work has been focused on the East Target due to the proximity to the St. Louis Fault which hosts the three largest past-producing mines (Fay, Ace and Verna) within the UCMD and recent identification of a new zone of mineralisation (please see UCR release of 06-Dec-06).
