Unitronix Corporation Canadian Subsidiary Launches Two Diamond Drilling Programs in Dormant Sturgeon Lake, Ontario Mining Camp
03 Abril 2007 - 7:50PM
Business Wire
1522923 Ontario Incorporated, a Canadian wholly owned subsidiary of
Unitronix Corp. (UTRX-PK) operating as Unitronix Mining and
Exploration has completed all arrangements necessary to meet
performance deadlines on its properties held under option with
Inmet Mining Corp. and Xstrata Zinc Canada, (formerly Noranda
Mining Inc. and Falconbridge Ltd) and all other staked mining
claims it has presently in good standing in the Bell Lake and
Penassi Lake area of the Patricia Mining Division in Ontario,
Canada specifically referred herein as the Sturgeon Lake area. As
referenced in our release of February 2, 2007, two preliminary
drilling programs, one for the base metal prospect and the other
for the gold prospect were budgeted and the company was actively
engaged in negotiations to obtain financing to fund the immediate
needs and was also evaluating future funding requirements
contingent upon the first stage funding being arranged. The
February 2, 2007 release also reported that previous funding
advanced as non- interest bearing loans by principals of the
company was no longer available. All negotiation efforts to obtain
financing from independent sources were unsuccessful. Faced with
serious time constraints and the difficulty to contract for
drilling equipment and crew on short notice, the company entered
into an agreement with its principals as a last resort.
Notwithstanding the urgency, the company believes the arrangement
finalized is both fair and also superior in relation to what it
could at best achieve if any other negotiations it had participated
in were successful. The Sturgeon Lake East Base Metal Prospect and
the Sturgeon Lake West Gold Prospect were first identified during
the beta testing of the company�s development of Geo-Sleuth�, its
proprietary software tool in 2002. Since that date deep penetrating
airborne geophysical surveys were carried out with the Fugro
Airborne Systems followed by Terraquest Ltd. Also, technical review
and analysis of data in the files and records of Inmet Mining Corp.
and Xstrata Zinc Canada in conjunction with detailed field work,
prospecting, sampling and chemical assaying were conducted. All
airborne geophysical survey data were then reviewed and separate
reports with recommendations were prepared for both prospects by
Geophysical Consultant Allan Spector and Associates of Toronto,
Canada. Dale Hendrick, P.Eng- President of both Unitronix and its
subsidiary, who through his firm Dale Hendrick and Associates, acts
as Geological Consultant to the ventures, believes that the
prospects �Sturgeon Lake East for Base Metals and Sturgeon Lake
West for Gold have a reasonable chance of success of finding
mineralization. STURGEON LAKE EAST: The Fugro and Terraquest
airborne target appears to be a geophysical extension of the
Sturgeon Lake Mine Copper�Zinc Mineralization trending�to the South
East. The contours of the anomaly form the shape of a "tadpole" and
the drill target to be tested by three 300 meter holes is located
on the property optioned from Inmet Mining Corp. about three miles
southeast of the Sturgeon Lake Mine. The Sturgeon Lake Mine�is one
of five mines in the Sturgeon Lake camp and closest former mining
operation to the drilling target, all as summarized from and as
referenced in the MNDM (Ministry of Northern Development and Mines)
Ontario Report, in part as follows: 2005 Metal Mineral Deposits not

Hendrick also reports that Sturgeon Lake West is a Gold Target
exposed by three summers of prospecting, sampling and stripping
that yields significant gold assays associated with pyrite in a
volcanogenic/iron formation-quartz porphyry carbonate vein system
located between Cobb Lake and Cobb Bay, a bay on the North West
corner of Sturgeon Lake. The targets show up as magnetic airborne
anomalies on the Terriquest Survey. Three 175 meter holes are
planned for this location. Mr. Hendrick is one of the three
investors who have already advanced substantial funds to the
venture. Management is disappointed that financing could not be
arranged from an independent source, but believes that the work
done to date merits the further investment required to test drill
both prospects. Management is also aware that the venture is highly
speculative, and there is no way to predict that the East (Base
Metal) or West (Gold) drilling programs results will succeed or
even warrant continuation of either program. A joint venture will
be formed between Unitronix Mining and Exploration and the
investors immediately to record the agreement entered into between
the parties on March 19, 2007. Unitronix Mining and Exploration
will be the operator of the venture. The terms of the investment
are as follows:(a) 1) Investors will invest $300,000 and receive a
30% interest in a joint venture to be formed. The funds will be
sufficient to pay costs as budgeted of the preliminary diamond
drilling programs in Sturgeon Lake East (Base Metal) and West
(Gold) 2) Investors will have the option to convert $712,000 they
have already loaned to the Unitronix Mining and Exploration by
December 31, 2007 to earn an additional 20% interest in the
venture. 3) If the option to convert loans is exercised, the
investor�s total investment of $1,012,000 will earn a 50% interest
in the venture. 4) On December 31, 2007 Unitronix Mining and
Exploration will own 50% of the venture debt free, if the option to
convert their loans is exercised by investors. (a)All funds
referenced above are in Canadian Dollars. (One CAD=0.87 USD.)
Investors will also be granted an option to provide an additional
$500,000 to the venture to earn a further 15%, but must exercise
this option no later than May 31, 2008. Results will be published
as assays and analysis become available. This press release may
contain forward looking statements. Forward looking statements are
statements that contain predictions or projections of future events
or performance, and often contain words such as �anticipates�,
�can�, �estimated�, �believe�, �expects�, �projects�, �will�,
�might�, or other words indicating a statement about the future.
The company notes that any such forward-looking statements are
subject to change and are not guarantees of future performance, and
that actual results may differ materially from results predicted,
forecast or implied. Some factors that can affect the company�s
ability to meet objectives include: ability to fund operations,
volatility of resource prices, risks related to exploratory
drilling, the availability of personnel and equipment, Government
regulation, and the ability of the Company to implement its
business strategy.
