VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA is pleased to announce further
developments on its 44,400 acre Whiskey Gap Uranium project located
in Southern Alberta along the Canada/U.S.A border. North American
Gem Inc. entered into a Joint Venture Agreement with International
Ranger Corp. on November 1, 2005 and has completed two drill
programs in which anomalous radioactivity was intersected in 31 of
37 drill holes totalling 4005 meters.
With the discovery of strongly reducing, radioactive sandstones,
containing anomalous heavy metals and associated radon in water,
Management remains confident that the Whiskey Gap lands could
contain significant Sandstone Hosted Uranium mineralization.
Most recently a Water Sampling Program had been conducted on the
Whiskey Gap project lands by the Alberta Geological Survey. The
survey data is released as Earth Sciences Report 2007-08 by R.
Olsen and S. Anderson of the AGS. The AGS study confirmed the
Anomalous Radon and Uranium in water values first located during
the original International Ranger and North American Gem
exploration programs.
AGS sample number 06USA017 collected from a location not
previously sampled, returned values of 160 ppb Uranium, 420 ppb
molybdenum and 140 ppb Arsenic. These sample values are
approximately 4 times higher than any previous water samples taken
on the property and are located up "flow direction" of a strongly
reducing zone of anomalous mineralization and radioactivity defined
late in the 2006 drill program.
Sandstone hosted Uranium mineralization typically is localized
at the boundary between oxidation and reducing conditions, these
zones typically contain high levels of heavy metals in addition to
Uranium. The Whiskey Gap property is underlain by a series of
fluvial sandstones of Cretaceous age, thought to be analogous to
sandstones in parts of Wyoming that host significant Roll front
Uranium deposits.
The Whiskey Gap Project is a Joint Venture between North
American Gem Inc. and International Ranger Corp., whereby the
Company can earn a 70% interest by spending $1,250,000 over 3
years. An additional 10% can be earned by taking the project to
feasibility.
