AntOro Starts Phase I Exploration Program on Andy Lake Uranium Property, Mont-Laurier, Quebec

AntOro Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:ORE.V) is pleased to announce that Phase I of the exploration program for the Andy Lake uranium property is underway. The property is adjacent to the Nova Uranium’s (“NUC” TSX-V) Mont-Laurier property. AntOro has an option to acquire a 100% interest in the property.

Since completing the review of all technical information relating to the property and the surrounding area,,the company’s exploration team has been on site and completed the elaboration of the exploration program accordingly. The two known uranium targets identified on the property, Raoul Lake and Adrian Pond, will be explored extensively.

The Company will cut two 500m X 500M grids, over each of the prospects, with line spacing of 50m and survey stations every 25m. Radiometric survey will be completed, with readings taken every 12.5m, and when feasible rock samples (chip or channel) will be taken. Radiometric anomalies will be flagged and mechanically stripped in the future for appropriate rock sampling.

Other areas of the property will be surveyed with rock sampling and scintillometer survey and assessed by geologists.

Special attention will be directed towards the previously identified anomalies to understand and improve earlier results and to try to assess the economic potential of these anomalies. The Raoul Lake anomaly discovered by Soquem in 1979 produced radiometric counts as high as 6,200 CPS (count per second) from outcrops of metamorphic white pegmatites that are mineralogically similar to a 6.39 meter section of white pegmatite encountered at the bottom of DDH # AL 75-04 (MRNF GM 35481) drilled in 1975 by Canadian John Manville Company..

The Raoul Lake radioactive zone seems to have similar characteristics and mineralization as NUC’s “A” and “B” radioactive zones as described by them on their web site.

This first phase of the program, scheduled for 21 days of field work, is expected to identify additional sites that could be tested with surface sampling and eventually by diamond drilling.
