Marketwired
Western Uranium Corporation (TSX VENTURE: WUC) ("the Company")
announces that additional drill results have been received from the
follow-up drilling in the Albisu area at the northern end of the
Kings Valley Project, Nevada. These are partial results from the
remaining outstanding intervals. Significantly, ALB-06 has
intercepted 3.98 g/t gold over 6.1 meters from 111.3-117.4m that
included 14.6 g/t gold from 111.3-112.8 m and 2.3 g/t gold from
114.3-115.8m. This intercept correlates with the zone in ALB-04
that intercepted 12 g/t gold over 1.5 metres from 103.7 m to 105.2
m (Press release October 29, 2008). The zone intercepted in ALB-06
lies up dip and 40 meters west of the intercept in ALB-04. ALB-06
also returned 0.66 g/t gold from 125-126.5m, 0.41 g/t gold from
135.6-137.2 m, and 0.41 g/t gold from 141.7-143.2m. Additional
results from ALB-13, located 95 metres along strike to the north of
ALB-04 and ALB-06, have returned the following zones of interest:
1.6 g/t gold from 70.0-71.5 m, 1.02 g/t gold from 88.4-89.9m, 0.57
g/t gold from 123.4-124.9m and 0.342 g/t gold from 352.0-364.2 m.
The upper 1 gram intercepts are interpreted to correlate with the
12 g/t and 14 g/t intercepts in holes 4 and 6 respectively.
As noted in the press release of July 21, 2009 drilling has
intercepted geochemically anomalous and intensely altered volcanic
rocks in every drill hole. The large halo of widespread and
continuous lower grade gold along with geochemically elevated
intervals of silver, arsenic, cobalt, mercury and molybdenum within
hydrothermally altered and brecciated volcanic rocks indicates this
has been an active and dynamic system.
The Company is very encouraged with the recent results in light
of the higher grades and the shallower depths of mineralization. In
addition, there are still outstanding assay results pending. It is
anticipated that the remainder of the core samples will be
submitted to the lab within the next seven to ten days and it is
hoped that all results will be returned within the next four weeks.
Only gold values have been received for the intervals reported
above.
WUC QA/QC Program
Quality Control and Assurance for all sampling projects at Kings
Valley is under the direction of Mr. John Rice a Qualified Person
as defined by National Instrument 43-101 standards. Core samples
are collected daily from the drill site and transported back to the
field office where WUC personnel photograph each box. WUC
geologists then log the core noting rock types and alteration. The
core is then split and packaged in bags. Core samples are delivered
by WUC employees to American Assay Laboratories located in Sparks,
Nevada or collected onsite by American Assay Laboratory
personnel.
American Assay Laboratory's quality control system complies with
the requirements for the International Standards ISO 9001:2000 and
ISO 17025:1999. Analytical accuracy and precision are monitored by
the use of reagent blanks, reference samples, and sample
duplicates.
