PELE MOUNTAIN REPORTS NI 43-101 MINERAL RESOURCE OF 33 MILLION POUNDS URANIUM OXIDE AT ELLIOT LAKE
Pele Mountain Resources Inc. has received and filed on SEDAR a National Instrument 43-101-compliant technical report on its Elliot Lake uranium project in Northern Ontario, authored by Scott Wilson Roscoe Postle Associates (Scott Wilson RPA), dated Jan. 15, 2007. Highlights of the report include:
* a mineral resource estimate of 30.05 million tonnes grading 0.05 per cent uranium oxide (U3O8), or one pound per short ton, for a total inferred resource containing 33.05 million pounds U3O8 (based on a cut-off grade(1) of 0.03 per cent U3O8 and a minimum mining width of 2.44 metres, or eight feet). The mineral resource estimate is based on a database of 70 drill holes in the Main conglomerate bed. Drill hole spacing was variable, mostly in the order of 100 metres to 400 metres. The resource estimate used a nearest neighbour block model method, equivalent to a polygonal method;
* very good potential to increase the mineral resources in drill-tested extensions of the main conglomerate bed that could contain a potential mineral deposit of 25 million to 30 million tonnes at grades ranging from 0.04 per cent U3O8 to 0.05 per cent U3O8(2); and
* additional resource potential in the mineralized Basal and Upper conglomerate beds and in the lower-grade hangingwall of the Main conglomerate bed.
