Strateco Resources Inc. reported early results from the 2012 drilling program on its wholly-owned Matoush uranium deposit. The goal of the 15,000 metre drilling program is to better define the mineralized zones discovered in 2010 and 2011, so as to increase the total resource in general and the Indicated resource in particular. Four holes have been drilled on the Matoush uranium deposit for a total of 2,522 metres. Two of these holes, drilled in early April on the southern extension of the new MT-34A lens, intersected very high grades over substantial widths. Hole MT-12-003 intersected 2.19% eU3O8 over 6.7 metres and Hole MT-12-004 intersected 0.50% eU3O8 over 25.5 metres, including 2.76% eU3O8 over 2.8 metres. These holes were drilled within a radius of about 50 metres of Hole MT-11-032, which had intersected 0.36% U3O8over 27.5 metres in 2011. The two other holes were drilled on the Matoush deposit to test the northern and southern extensions of the mineralization of the new MT-02 lens. Hole MT-12-001, drilled at the southern end, intersected 0.05% eU3O8 over 0.9 metre, and Hole MT-12-002, which confirmed the northern extension of the mineralization, intersected 0.34% eU3O8over 1.6 metres. Four grass roots holes totalling 779 metres were also drilled on the Matoush Extension property in early March 2012. These holes were aimed at testing two geophysical lineaments and the radon anomalies identified by the survey carried out in the fall of 2011. Apart from the discovery of a new dyke, no uranium results were obtained. Definition drilling on the Matoush project is ongoing. In all, 3,301 metres of the 15,000 metres planned for the 2012 program have been drilled to date.
