Drilling Continues to Expand Anna Lake Uranium Deposit, Central Mineral Belt Uranium Project, Labrador
August 06 2008 - 6:15AM
Marketwired
Bayswater Uranium Corporation (TSX-V: BAY) (PINKSHEETS: BYSWF) is
pleased to report additional drill results and provide an
exploration update on its 2008 exploration program for the Central
Mineral Belt Uranium Project, Labrador. Currently, exploration
efforts are in full swing on the Company's 100% owned property.
Diamond drilling, geophysical, radon flux, soil geochemical,
line-cutting and prospecting crews are all currently active on the
property. Wide spaced, step-out drilling continues to expand the
Anna Lake deposit to depth and has currently traced the continuity
of the zone to depths of up to 430 meters.
Highlights
-- Drilling traces mineralized zone to 430 meters depth
-- Best drill intersections from two separate holes return 19.0 meters
grading 0.04% U3O8 and 5.9 meters grading 0.10% U3O8
-- Significant molybdenum credits in all uranium drill intercepts with
values ranging from 0.01% to 0.09% molybdenum
A 20,000 meter diamond drill program using two heli-portable
rigs commenced May 2, 2008 on the Company's Anna Lake Project. To
date, a total of approximately 11,000 meters in twenty four holes
have been drilled on both the main Anna Lake deposit and anomalous
reconnaissance targets along the Anna Lake 10 km favourable
corridor to the northeast. Seventeen diamond drill holes have been
collared on the Anna Lake deposit since the start of the 2008
program. Final assays results have been received for ten of these
holes with assays pending for the balance of all other holes.
Results from the drilling program continue to expand the size of
the deposit and have currently confirmed the continuity of the
mineralization to a depth of at least 430 meters. The mineralized
zone is planar and dips approximately 60 - 70 degrees to the east.
Analytical results from the drilling within the Anna deposit at
depth are as follows:

As previously announced in a press release dated May 12, 2008,
the drilling program has been aggressive with 100 meter step-outs
to delineate the deposit at depth and laterally while continuing to
focus on the higher grade plunging zones.
Geological work performed during 2008, suggests that the Anna
Lake uranium deposit is hosted within the Post Hill Group of
Proterozoic aged metasediments. The Post Hill Group hosts several
other uranium deposits within the Central Mineral Belt including
the Kitts, Inda, Nash and Gear. A belt of Aillik Group felsic
volcanic rocks similar to the host lithology of the Michelin
uranium deposit has also been identified on the northwest side of
the Anna Lake structural corridor. Ongoing work will continue to
evaluate the potential of this belt during the 2008 field
season.
Induced Polarization, radon flux and soil geochemical ground
surveys are near completion on the gridded area around the Anna
Lake deposit and favourable 10 km corridor to the northeast. It is
expected this work will be completed by mid-August. Also, a ground
prospecting crew consisting of ten prospectors are currently
engaged evaluating high priority targets. Prospecting will focus on
priority targets outlined from the 2006 and 2007 field seasons
along with new geological interpretations of airborne data within
the claims.
An updated drill hole location map and longitudinal section will
be available on Bayswater's website at
www.bayswateruranium.com.
Sample handling consists of shipping one half of split drill
core samples to Activation Laboratories Ltd. sample preparation
facility in Goose Bay, Labrador where the samples are crushed,
pulverized and split. Sample pulps are then forwarded to Ancaster,
Ontario for analyses. Uranium analysis is performed using the
delayed neutron counting (DNC) method. A multi-element inductively
coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-42) is performed as well on
all samples. Where uranium values exceed the upper limit of 1%,
samples are re-assayed using X-ray fluorescence (XRF). A rigorous
quality control/assurance program was instituted for the sampling
and analytical work. Control samples, consisting of three separate
standards are inserted in the sample stream approximately every 20
samples. To date, this program has shown that the analyses are
reliable.
The Company's exploration activities are conducted under the
supervision of George M. Leary, M.Sc. P. Eng. (BC), President of
the Company, and Victor Tanaka, B.Sc. P.Geo. (B.C.), Chief
Operating Officer of the Company. Both are qualified persons under
NI 43-101. George Leary is the qualified person responsible for the
technical information in this news release.
About the Labrador Central Mineral Belt
The Central Mineral Belt of Labrador, Canada, located
approximately 135 kilometers north of Goose Bay, has a long history
of uranium and base metals exploration. Uranium was first
discovered in the belt in the 1950s. With further exploration in
the 1960s and 1970s and rising uranium prices, exploration in the
region increased significantly and several uranium deposits were
discovered including the Kitts, Michelin, Inda, Nash, Rainbow and
Moran Lake deposits by Brinco. Today, exploration activity in the
region is highlighted by resource drilling at the Michelin and
Jacques Lake deposits by Aurora Energy Resources Inc. (TSX: AXU)
and at the Moran Lake deposit by Crosshair Exploration & Mining
Corp. (TSX-V: CXX). Collectively, approximately 100 million pounds
of NI 43-101 compliant uranium resources have been reported in the
Central Mineral Belt by Aurora and Crosshair, a figure that is
expected to increase significantly in the coming years through
increases to existing resources, as well as new uranium
discoveries. Bayswater Uranium is the largest landholder in the
Central Mineral Belt with interests in 4,626 sq km of strategic
landholdings; Aurora controls about 800 sq km and Crosshair
approximately 640 sq km. Bayswater is aggressively exploring
several uranium targets within its landholdings with the objective
of discovering new uranium resources.
