Property Location Map
Introduction

The Yurchison Lake property is located 70 kilometres southeast of the McArthur River uranium mine and 35 kilometres east of the Moore Lake joint venture property. It consists of 4 contiguous claims totaling 12,660 hectares. JNR Resources holds an unencumbered 100% interest in the property.

Previous Work

The ground was staked in September of 2006 in response to positive results obtained from a regional-scale exploration program during the summer.

Prospecting and geological mapping in and near old trenches returned significant uranium and molybdenum mineralization from both outcrop and float samples. Uranium values ranged from 0.09 to 0.30% U3O8 with molybdenum values ranging form 2,500 to 6,400 ppm. Geologically, the showings are underlain by actinolite-bearing gneisses. An 800 line-kilometre helicopter-borne VTEM survey of the project lands was completed in October 2006. Interpretation of the results will determine drill targets for future programs.

2008 Winter Program

A planned 5,000-metre (20-25 hole) diamond drill program was initiated in January 2008 to test a multitude of well defined electromagnetic (EM) conductors, some of which correlate with geophysically interpreted structural features.

JNR's Vice-President Exploration, David L. Billard, PGeo, is the Qualified Person for the Company's Athabasca Basin uranium projects. All technical information for the projects is obtained and reported under a formal quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) program, details of which are presented in the PDF link below.
