JNR Announces Results of Airborne Surveys on the Black Lake & Crackingstone Uranium Projects Wed Apr 9, 1:17 PM ca.news.finance.yahoo.com TSXV:JNN SASKATOON, April 9 /CNW/ - JNR Resources Inc. (TSXV: JNN.V) (the 'Company') has received the results from high-resolution gradient magnetic Goldak surveys flown over its 100% owned Black Lake and Crackingstone uranium projects located in the Athabasca Basin of northern Saskatchewan. A total of 7,893 line-kilometres were flown at Black Lake and 3,758 kilometres at Crackingstone. These results have been incorporated with prior ground and/or airborne geophysical surveys to better define targets for drill testing. At Black Lake, four extensive 'zones of interest' have been identified. Their selection was based upon the presence of a general magnetic setting considered common to unconformity-type uranium deposits, along with a coincidence of electromagnetic (EM) conductors and proximity to major structural features. Magnetically interpreted cross structures and/or other structural perturbations are also considered high priority target areas. Diamond drilling is currently underway on a six kilometre long northeast-trending conductive/magnetic target through the central portion of the property. Depths to the unconformity are estimated to be on the order of 750 metres in the south and 225 metres in the north. The Black Lake project comprises 41,783 hectares and is located along the north rim of the Athabasca Basin, approximately 20 kilometres southeast of the town of Stony Rapids and along the all weather road to that community. The property covers a 40-kilometre strike length of the Snowbird/Black Lake structure, a major transcrustal feature that represents the strike extension of the mineralized Virgin River shear (Centennial Zone) located some 225 kilometres to the southwest. At Crackingstone, 13 'zones of interest' have been identified and reflect an assortment of EM responses within a variety of magnetic and geologic environments. They include areas along regional conductors where the conductor is disrupted by interpreted magnetic structures or are present as a locally stronger response. Isolated conductors chosen from a variety of geophysical and geologic settings are also considered high priority targets. Planning of additional work is underway. The Crackingstone project comprises 10,665 hectares and is located near Uranium City, adjacent to the north rim of the Athabasca Basin. Historical work on the property dating back to the 1950's and 1960's focused on the two southern claims covering the Crackingstone Peninsula, during which time a number of uranium showings including the Gulch deposit were discovered. The high-resolution gradient magnetic survey over the Company's 100% owned Newnham Lake project, located on the northeastern margin of the Athabasca Basin, was postponed until the spring of 2008.
