Marketwired
Golden Dory Resources (TSX-V: FA) (a 100% owned subsidiary of 540
Capital Corp) is pleased to announce that is has acquired 376
additional claims at its 100% owned (3135 claim, 78,375 ha) Burin
Project in southern Newfoundland, and that Phase 2 airborne
radiometric, magnetic and electromagnetic surveys have commenced.
The Burin project is host to newly discovered uranium
mineralization hosted within the St. Lawrence Granite and includes
recently announced (see news release dated September 26, 2008) grab
sample assay values of up to 1.886% U3O8.
The newly acquired claims include 329 staked claims as well as
47 claims optioned from local interests (1) all of which cover
untested radiometric anomalies associated with the prospective St.
Lawrence Granite. Ongoing exploration over the remainder of the
Burin Project since September 1, 2008, has resulted in the
collection of approximately 300 radioactive bedrock samples for
assay at Activation Labs in Ancaster Ontario and results are
expected shortly. Preliminary readings from hand held, RS-125
spectrometers, has indicated the presence of widespread bedrock
uranium mineralization.
On October 1, 2008, Golden Dory announced the signing of a
letter of intent with Cameco Corporation to jointly explore the
Burin uranium project, including immediate funding of $250,000
which represents 50% of the 2008 exploration budget. The 2008
funding forms the initial part of a joint venture option agreement
presently being finalized, pending a review of the results of the
2008 exploration program which includes the second phase of
airborne surveys as well as an intensive geochemical sampling and
mapping program currently underway on the property. The proposed
joint venture being concluded will see Cameco earn a 55% interest
in the Burin project by spending a total of $2.75 million in
exploration in 2008, 2009 and 2010, and earn a 65% interest by
spending an additional $1.5 million by December 31, 2011 for a
combined total of $4.25 million.
The Burin property is targeting bulk tonnage uranium
mineralization hosted within a Devonian aged alaskitic granite on
the southern Burin Peninsula of Newfoundland. The granite is host
to numerous base and precious metal occurrences as well as the past
producing fluorspar deposits at St. Lawrence. The St. Lawrence
Granite is similar in many aspects to the host rocks at the Rossing
uranium mine in Namibia, one of the world's largest producers of
uranium. Extrusive phases of the St. Lawrence granite are also
prospective for volcanic hosted uranium as at the large
Streltsovska complex in Russia.
The property offers excellent attributes including: a network of
roads, lying at ice free tidewater facing the major shipping lanes
between Europe and North America, and where a newly constructed, 27
megawatt wind generated power plant is scheduled to commence
operation this quarter.
(1) The optioned claims consist of 47 claims in 5 separate
agreements with arms length local prospectors and are subject to
TSX Venture exchange approval. The agreements include combined cash
and share payments totaling $196,000 and 702,000 shares over a
three year period at which point Golden Dory will own 100% of the
optioned claims subject to a NSR retained by the vendors. The
vendors retain a 2% NSR of which Golden Dory can buy back half of
the NSR (1%) from each agreement for $1 million.
