A reconnaissance geologic program was conducted on the
Nortec has received the final analytical results for these samples from
Cottonwood is located approximately 372 kilometres (230 miles) by road southeast of
The samples were analyzed for 61 elements using an ICP Atomic Emission Spectroscopy and ICP Mass Spectrometry techniques. A total sample digestion method was chosen for these analyses because many vanadium minerals are clays that are not digestible by more commonly used partial digestion techniques. The analysis of results for trace elements associated with vanadium and uranium deposits will be evaluated for use in future exploration of the Property. The Uranium and Vanadium results are shown in the following table and in Figure 4:

The chip samples were collected from altered and unaltered sandstone within the Jurassic Salt Wash Member of the Morrison Formation, a known uranium and vanadium producing unit. The alteration was identified during this early-stage field investigation of the claim block. The target mineralization at the Project is sandstone hosted vanadium and uranium deposits similar to the Shootaring Canyon Deposit, about 50 kilometres (30 miles) south of the
A widespread, visual alteration enveloping uranium-vanadium mineralization at
These sampling results will helpin the use of trace element geochemistry to design future exploratory drilling for vanadium and uranium mineralization within the altered envelope.
The Company is planning to continue the Phase 1 program to further define drilling targets based on the sampling results and geological mapping to date. This will consist of detailed geological interpretation,
