Blue Sky Drilling At Amarillo Grande Surficial Uranium Project

 

VANCOUVER, BC - Blue Sky Uranium Corp. reported initial results from the ongoing Phase 1 reverse circulation (RC) drilling program at the Ivana target on the Amarillo Grande uranium project, in Rio Negro Province, Argentina. The results from 31 holes received to date outline a broad area of near surface uranium measuring approximately 1,800 meters by 600 meters. Within this area, a higher-grade northwest oriented corridor is interpreted to have been intersected by four holes and a second area with higher grades is indicated by two holes at the eastern margin of the drill grid. A full geologic interpretation will be completed once results from the remaining 66 holes from the Ivana target are received. Blue Sky holds over 440,000 hectares of property located in two provinces in the most prospective uranium regions of Argentina.

"The initial results from the Ivana area provide important information on where to focus our follow-up drilling as we delineate new zones of surficial uranium mineralization at Amarillo Grande," stated Nikolaos Cacos, Blue Sky President & CEO. "These initial results confirm the broad occurrence of uranium mineralization at Ivana."

The 250,000-hectare Amarillo Grande project includes three areas of known mineralization (Ivana, Anit and Santa Barbara) within a 140 kilometer-long uranium trend discovered by Blue Sky. This 3,000 meter preliminary drill program is designed to delineate the mineralized zones at all three areas, for follow-up infill drilling. The program is testing areas prospective for discovery of near-surface uranium mineralization as identified by ground radiometric surveys, trenching, manually excavated pits and geo-electrical surveys. This program is the first phase of the overall 10,000 meter program which is designed to prepare for potential resource estimation later this year.
