Lucky Strike Resources Ltd.: Western Athabasca Syndicate Receives
Drill Permits for the Preston Lake Uranium Project in SW Athabasca
Basin, Saskatchewan
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Feb 27, 2014) -
Lucky Strike Resources Ltd. (TSX-VENTURE:LKY) ("Lucky") is pleased
to announce the Western Athabasca Syndicate has received drill
permits for its flagship Preston Lake Uranium Property (the
"Property"). The diamond drill program is slated to commence in the
second week of March and will test several highly prospective
targets identified by the extensive 2013-2014 fieldwork.
The 246,643 hectare
Preston Lake Property is the largest land package proximal to
Fission Uranium Corp.'s Patterson Lake South ("PLS") high-grade
uranium discovery, as well as the recent discovery ("Arrow
Prospect") made by NexGen Energy on the Rook 1 Project (see
NexGen's news release dated Feb. 19th, 2014). The Syndicate holds
title to an extensive and geologically prospective property package
in the southwest Athabasca Basin region including properties
strategically located in all directions around the PLS and NexGen
discoveries.

Lucky Strike and its
Syndicate partners are currently carrying out a ground EM survey to
further refine conductor trends and drill pad locations. Additional
details of the upcoming drill program will be provided when drill
hole locations are finalized. To date, the 2013-2014 exploration
expenditures on the Property total approximately $2.1 million and
have delineated numerous geological, geophysical and geochemical
targets associated with eight prospective exploration corridors.
The Syndicate continues to employ a systematic, proven exploration
methodology that has led to numerous uranium discoveries in the
region and throughout the Athabasca Basin. This has been very
effective in identifying numerous high-quality targets at Preston
with similar geological features and exploratory indicators as
those at the nearby PLS and NexGen discoveries, as well as other
deposits in the Athabasca Basin.

The Western
Athabasca Syndicate has a booth at the upcoming PDAC Conference in
Toronto from March 2 - 5. The booth number is 2740 and all four
companies comprising the Syndicate will be present. We invite you
to stop by to meet management and get a full update on the progress
being made by the Syndicate on its projects in the Patterson Lake
region of the Athabasca Basin.
About the Western
Athabasca Syndicate:
The Western
Athabasca Syndicate is a strategic partnership formed between Lucky
Strike, Athabasca Nuclear, Skyharbour, and Noka to explore and
develop a 287,130 hectare suite of uranium properties
that is the largest
land position along the highly prospective margin of the Western
Athabasca Basin controlled by a single group. Under the terms of
the agreement, each of the four companies has an option to earn 25%
of the five uranium properties comprising the Western Athabasca
Syndicate Partnership by making a series of cash payments, share
payments, and incurring their pro-rata amount of the total
$6,000,000 in exploration expenditures over the two-year earn-in
term of the agreement. The properties were acquired for their
proximity to the PLS discovery and interpreted favourable geology
for the occurrence of PLS style uranium mineralization. The bulk of
the Syndicate land package is bisected by all-weather Highway 955
which runs north through the PLS discovery on to the former Cluff
Lake uranium mine.
The Athabasca Basin
of Saskatchewan hosts the world's largest and richest high-grade
uranium deposits which have grades substantially higher than the
world average grade of about 0.1% U3O8. The Patterson Lake area has
received escalating exploration attention and claim acquisition
activity as a result of the new, near surface discoveries made by
Fission which includes the recently reported drill interval of
38.49% U3O8 over 10.5 metres in drill hole PLS14-129. Consistent
high-grade, near surface U3O8 assays from Fission demonstrate the
potential for high-grade uranium mineralization on the geologically
prospective yet underexplored margins of the western side of the
Athabasca Basin.
