(TSX-V: SYH), Noka Resources Inc. (TSX-V: NX) and Lucky Strike Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: LKY) (\"the Syndicate\") 399,700 acre Preston Lake Project. \nA map of the Western Athabasca Syndicate Project claims can be seen here:\n http://www.athabascanuclear.com/projects/western-athabasca-syndicate-project-uranium-gold \nGeophysical Surveys\nFinal datasets from the helicopter-borne VTEM plus survey (time domain EM and aeromagnetic gradiometer) and the fixed-wing radiometric survey have been received and are currently being analyzed by Phil Robertshaw, P.Geo., to provide a final detailed interpretation. A total of 4,840 line kilometers of high resolution VTEM plus with an additional 4,400 line kilometers of radiometrics (flown by Goldak Airborne Surveys) was completed on the Preston Lake Property providing approximately 1,046 square kilometres of coverage. The VTEM coverage consisted of seven blocks extending eastwards from the Alberta border for almost 100 kilometres with line spacings of 200 to 300 metres. The airborne radiometric survey consisted of one large block extending up to 60 kilometres east-west and up to 36 kilometres north-south. This low-level survey utilized 50 L crystal detector volume and line spacing of 200 metres.\nA map of the Western Athabasca Syndicate airborne survey coverage can be seen here:\nhttp://www.athabascanuclear.com/projects/western-athabasca-syndicate-project-uranium-gold\nThe VTEM survey has succeeded in mapping a large number of graphitic-type basement conductors which are consistent with basement geology trends as revealed by the associated detailed aeromagnetics. These strong, multi-kilometre conductive anomalies represent primary exploration targets moving forward. Basement geological trends in the furthest western block are oriented NW-SE, while those of the eastern blocks are E-NE which is similar to Fission and Alpha's Patterson Lake South (\"PLS\") high-grade uranium discovery area.
