(TSX-V: ASC), Skyharbour Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: SYH), Noka Resources Inc. (TSX-V: NX) and Lucky Strike Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: LKY) (\"the Syndicate\") have completed large-scale VTEM plus and radiometric geophysical surveys on the Western Athabasca Syndicate Project located near Alpha Minerals' (TSX-V: AMW) and Fission Uranium's (TSX-V: FCU) Patterson Lake South (\"PLS\") uranium discovery. The original airborne coverage was expanded to provide for the infill and extension of conductive anomalies and structural features identified by a preliminary review of the geophysical data. Based on this initial encouraging data, the Syndicate has elected to immediately commence the second phase of its summer program consisting of follow-up field work and ground-truthing of geophysical targets. \nWestern Athabasca Syndicate Project Claims Map: http://www.athabascanuclear.com/sites/default/files/Western_Basin_Syndicate_700000.pdf\nCompletion of Regional Airborne Geophysical Survey\nA total of 4,840 line kilometres was flown for the VTEM plus time domain survey with an additional 4,400 line kilometres flown for the radiometric survey all of which was on the Syndicate's Preston Lake Property. The VTEM plus system has been used successfully to locate basement conductors similar to the structures that host the high-grade uranium discoveries at the nearby PLS project. The high resolution radiometric survey was flown to locate uranium boulder trains, in-situ uranium mineralization and alteration associated with uranium mineralization which is what ultimately led to the PLS discovery by Alpha and Fission. Phil Robertshaw (P.Geo., Saskatchewan) is reviewing the collected data and will be providing detailed interpretation of the VTEM plus and radiometric surveys shortly. \nWestern Athabasca Syndicate Airborne Survey Coverage:\nhttp://www.athabasc...
