Note: Radioactivity is total gamma counts per second (CPS) from drill core measured with an RS-125 hand-held spectrometer (RS-125).
LE21-78C1 (Section 4460E)
Drill hole LE21-78C1 was completed on section with and 8m south of previously reported drill hole LE20-77 (8.0m averaging 2.6% U3O8). LE21-78C1 intersected 12.0m of uranium mineralization (>500 CPS) from 248.5 to 260.5m, including 2.0m of strong mineralization (>30,000 CPS) from 257.5m to 259.5m. The mineralization in LE21-78C1 has expanded the Hurricane zone 8m to the south on section 4460E. LE21-78C1 also intersected elevated radioactivity in the basement associated with significant structure and alteration, suggesting further potential for southern expansion on this section. Figures 2 and 3 show the location of the drill hole in plan and section view, respectively.
LE21-80 (Section 4435E)
Drill hole LE21-80 was completed to test for a north-easterly extension of very strong mineralization intersected by previously reported drill hole LE20-34 (33.9% U3O8 over 8.5m). LE21-80 reached the unconformity 19m east-northeast of LE20-34 and intersected 3.5m of uranium mineralization (>500 CPS) from 326.0m to 329.5m, including 2.0m >5,000 CPS from 326.0 to 328.0m. Figures 2 and 4 show the drill hole in plan and section view, respectively.
LE21-82 (Section 4485E)
Drill hole LE21-82 was completed on section with and 26m south of previously reported drill hole LE20-71 (2.0m averaging 2.4% U3O8). LE21-82 intersected 4.5m of uranium mineralization (>500 CPS) from 328.5 to 333.0m, including 1.0m >5,000 CPS from 331.0 to 332.0m. The mineralization in LE21-82 has expanded the Hurricane zone 26m south and the mineralized footprint is now at least 94 metres in width on Section 4485E. Figures 2 and 5 show the drill hole in plan and section view, respectively.
LE21-84 (Section 4435E)
Drill hole LE21-84 was completed on section with and 28m north of previously reported drill hole LE20-67 (0.2% U3O8 over 2.0 metres). LE21-84 intersected 3.0m of uranium mineralization (>500 CPS) from 326.5m to 329.5m, including 0.5m >5,000 CPS. The mineralization in LE21-84 expanded the Hurricane zone 28 metres to the north and the mineralized footprint is now at least 93 metres in width on section 4435E. Figures 2 and 4 show the drill hole in plan and section view, respectively.
The Larocque East Property and the
The 100% owned Larocque East property consists of 33 mineral claims totaling 16,780ha. Two of the project's claims distal to the Hurricane zone are subject to a 2% Net Smelter Returns Royalty of which 1% may be bought back for
Along with other target areas, the Larocque East Property covers a 15-kilometre-long northeast extension of the

1. | Radioactivity is total gamma from drill core measured with an RS-125 hand-held spectrometer. |
2. | Measurements of total gamma cps on drill core are an indication of uranium content but may not correlate with uranium chemical assays. |
3. | LE21-78C1 is a wedged off-cut LE20-78 at 70 metres |

Forward-Looking Information
The information contained herein contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and "forward-looking information" within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation. "Forward-looking information" includes, but is not limited to, statements with respect to the activities, events or developments that the Company expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future, including, without limitation, planned exploration activities. Generally, but not always, forward-looking information and statements can be identified by the use of words such as "plans", "expects", "is expected", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "intends", "anticipates", or "believes" or the negative connotation thereof or variations of such words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will be taken", "occur" or "be achieved" or the negative connotation thereof.
Such forward-looking information and statements are based on numerous assumptions, including among others, that the results of planned exploration activities are as anticipated, the price of uranium, the anticipated cost of planned exploration activities, that general business and economic conditions will not change in a material adverse manner, that financing will be available if and when needed and on reasonable terms, that third party contractors, equipment and supplies and governmental and other approvals required to conduct the Company's planned exploration activities will be available on reasonable terms and in a timely manner. Although the assumptions made by the Company in providing forward-looking information or making forward-looking statements are considered reasonable by management at the time, there can be no assurance that such assumptions will prove to be accurate.
Forward-looking information and statements also involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors, which may cause actual events or results in future periods to differ materially from any projections of future events or results expressed or implied by such forward-looking information or statements, including, among others: negative operating cash flow and dependence on third party financing, uncertainty of additional financing, no known mineral reserves or resources, the limited operating history of the Company, the influence of a large shareholder, alternative sources of energy and uranium prices, aboriginal title and consultation issues, reliance on key management and other personnel, actual results of exploration activities being different than anticipated, changes in exploration programs based upon results, availability of third party contractors, availability of equipment and supplies, failure of equipment to operate as anticipated; accidents, effects of weather and other natural phenomena and other risks associated with the mineral exploration industry, environmental risks, changes in laws and regulations, community relations and delays in obtaining governmental or other approvals.
Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking information or implied by forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking information and statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated, estimated or intended. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements or information. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or reissue forward-looking information as a result of new information or events except as required by applicable securities laws.
