Uranium North Reports Scintillometer Readings Indicate the Amer Lake Main Zone Deposit

Uranium North Resource Corp. (TSXV:UNR) reports that the 8^th hole of a planned 20 hole program is currently being drilled on its Amer Lake deposit located in Nunavut.

The press release is quoted as saying:

The 2011 expansion drilling program is focused on the southeastern extension of the Main Zone resource*. This area is adjacent to and around drill hole UNR-15 of the resource which returned the highest grades in the 2008 drill program.Based on anomalous scintillometer readings from samples collected down hole, the mineralized horizon extends southeast of the defined resource*. Radioactive zones have been identified in all completed holes with the exception of one hole that was lost before reaching the target depth.

Uranium North Resources’ President and CEO, Mark Kolebaba says:

“The Main Zone appears to be extending to the southeast as anticipated. Depending on the analytical results confirming the U₃0₈values, we hope to see a significant increase in the Main Zone resource.”
