VANCOUVER, May 28
th, 2015 /CNW/ -
Lakeland Resources Inc. (TSXv: LK; FSE: 6LL; OTCQX: LRESF) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that, subject to the TSX Venture Exchange acceptance, (the "Exchange") has acquired additional mineral claims located along the Patterson Lake and Carter corridors within the southwest part of the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, Canada. The additional claims are contiguous with Lakeland's Carter Lake Property (3,696 ha); and bring the total project size to approximately 10,052 ha.
The additional claims cover part of the Patterson Lake Corridor, which is host to at least four significant uranium discoveries since late 2012:
- Patterson Lake South (Alpha Minerals – Fission Energy);
- Patterson Lake South – R600W (Fission Uranium);
- Arrow (NexGen);
- Bow (NexGen); and
- Spitfire (Purepoint, Cameco, AREVA).
The most advanced discovery to date, the Patterson Lake South (PLS) deposit, is host to a reported resource estimate of 79.6m lbs Indicated U
3O
8 and 25.9m lbs Inferred U
3O
8. 7.3 km to the northeast, the Arrow Discovery of
NexGen Energy Ltd. includes hole AR-14-30, which returned 10.3% U
3O
8 over 46 metres. A further 5.3 km to the northeast, the Spitfire Discovery by
Cameco Corp., Areva Resources and Purepoint Uranium, with drill hole HK15-27 returning 2.23% U
3O
8 over 2.8 metres. The new Lakeland Carter Lake Property is located a further 17 km to the northeast along the Patterson Lake Conductive Corridor. Depths to the sub-Athabasca unconformity at Carter Lake are estimated at 500 metres or more, which is similar to some of the depths of uranium mineralization encountered at the Arrow Discovery where mineralization has been encountered between 300 and 800 metres below surface. Lakeland's Carter Lake Property also encompasses parts of the relatively unexplored Carter Conductive Corridor. This area has had only five known historic drill holes, despite the positive exploration potential. Management cautions that past results or discoveries on proximate land are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved on the Carter Lake property.
"The summer of 2015 will see active exploration at multiple, high-potential projects across the Athabasca Basin for Lakeland. In addition to work programs at Gibbons, Newnham Lake, and Key Lake Road, we will prepare for reconnaissance scale work at Carter Lake given the number of recent uranium discoveries along the Patterson Lake Corridor." Commented Jon Armes, President and CEO.
By property purchase agreement dated May 27
th, Lakeland acquired 28 mineral claims from
Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. (EPL), totaling 5,095.31 hectares. Under the terms of the agreement and subject to Exchange approval, the Company shall pay $40,000 cash and issue a total of 800,000 common shares. In addition, Lakeland acquired by staking, 10 mineral claims, totaling 1,260.18 hectares. These 38 claims, in addition to 4 claims of the original Lakeland Carter Lake Property are subject to a 2% NSR payable to EPL. The Company may, at any time purchase 1% of the NSR for $1 million.
