| MONTORO-BELMONT IDENTIFY
NINE URANIUM ANOMALIES FROM GEOPHYSICAL INTERPRETATION OF
LABRADOR PROPERTIES
International Montoro Resources Inc. (“IMT”)
and Belmont Resources Inc. (“BEA”) are pleased
to announce they have received an interpretation of a 444.5
line-km helicopter-borne magnetic and radiometric geophysical
survey completed on its two Central Mineral Belt, Uranium
District, Labrador properties. The Montoro/Belmont Labrador
properties consist of the Stormy Lake and Partridge River
claims. A total of nine (9) anomalies have been identified
within these project areas, with priorities assigned based
on this survey. The companies intend to complete this work
in order to further define potential drill targets. Detailed
maps outlining this survey will be available on each company’s
web site in the coming weeks.
The companies contracted Intrepid Geophysics Ltd. of North
Vancouver, B.C. and Encom Technology Pty Ltd. of Australia
to complete the interpretation. ASTER satellite imagery was
purchased as an additional regional dataset for structural
mapping over the properties, and has proved an invaluable
exploration tool in identifying and mapping subtle structural
lineaments that are beyond the resolution of the regional
magnetic datasets. A summary of this report is as follows:
Stormy Lake Uranium Project – 26.5 sq. km.
A number of dominant structural trends are identifiable in
the Reduction to Pole (“RTP”) magnetic data. A
northeast-southwest trending deep-seated structural fabric
regionally dominates the area, and several other orientations
of cross-cutting interpreted later structures are observed
in the magnetic and ASTER imagery.
Five radiometric target anomalies (A –E) are apparent
throughout the property. The most promising target (A) is
located in the southwest corner of the claim area. It is described
as: “Discrete uranium radiometric anomalies possibly
associated with interpreted north-south trending unconformity.
The northern-most target (A) defines a discrete set of three
uranium anomalies in close proximity to the unconformity,
which trend away from the unconformity along a possible intersecting
structure trending west-northwest. All anomalies with a potential
unconformity relationship are a high priority for further
field validation and sampling.”
Target “D” is described as: “Groups of
discrete radiometric anomalies highlighted in both the uranium/total
count and the thorium ratio. These anomalies are located within
the Seal Lake Group and are evident across both ratio datasets,
and are therefore a high priority.”
The report recommends “Detailed field reconnaissance,
geochemical sampling and traverses to further test and evaluate
the Target areas”.
Partridge River Uranium Project – 5.75 sq.
km
Four radiometric target anomalies (A-D) are apparent throughout
the property. The most promising target (A) is located in
the east central portion of the claim area. It is described
as: “Discrete radiometric anomaly between two northeast
trending structures. This discrete anomaly is highlighted
in the uranium channel, uranium/total count ratio and uranium/thorium
ratio, and is therefore deemed a high priority target requiring
field checking.”
Overall Recommendations from this survey can be summarized
as follows:
- Undertake appropriate stream, soil, rock chip sampling
of target areas to test for mineralization.
- Complete more detailed field mapping of the regional target
areas, with subsequent refinement of the structural interpretation.
This news release was reviewed and approved for technical
disclosure by Christopher Campbell, P. Geo., President, Geophysicist
of Intrepid Geophysics Ltd. of North Vancouver, B.C., an independent
qualified person under NI 43-101.
The Companies are encouraged about the potential of these
claims and are closely monitoring the nearby exploration programs
of Crosshair Exploration & Mining (“CXX”),
Bayswater Uranium Corporation (“BAY”), and Universal
Uranium Ltd. (“UUL”). The 2007 summer exploration
program will be announced once planning is completed.
