[{"type":"text","content":"\n\nKELOWNA, BC, June 20 2014 /CNW/ - MPVC Inc. (TSXV : UNO) (\"MPVC\", the \"Company\") is pleased to report the final RadonEx results for the Company's Northwest Manitoba Uranium project which was recently optioned from CanAlaska Uranium Limited. \n\nFinal Radon in Water Results\n\nMPVC has now received the final results from the RadonEx radon in lake water survey completed at Maguire Lake, located within the 143,603 hectare Northwest Manitoba project.  The radon survey was conducted by RadonEx Exploration Management of St. Lazare, Quebec and comprised of 1,399 samples collected over the 10km length of Maguire Lake.  Sample stations were located at 25m intervals along lines spaced at 200m.\n\nThe final survey results varied slightly as expected from the preliminary results announced May 7, 2014.  The highest radon in water result increased from 573 picocuries per litre (pCi/L) to 669 pCi/L.  \n\nOf the 1,399 samples, 33 samples had results greater than 100 pCi/L, 13 samples had results greater than 200 pCi/L, 7 samples had results greater than 300pCi/L and 4 samples had results greater than 400pCi/L.\n\nIn RadonEx's final report they identify 7 priority one drill targets and 5 priority two drill targets from the survey.  These targets are centred in the radon in water trends thought to be indicative of bedrock-hosted uranium mineralization.  Significantly RadonEx state that the radon in water values at Maguire Lake approach closely the highest values received at the Patterson Lake South uranium discovery. \n\nSummer Drill Program\n\nHaving now obtained a complete radon flux map for the whole of the Maguire Lake structural trend (both on-shore and in the lake) the drilling of the high priority land based targets will commence shortly. It is estimated that approximately 40 holes will be drilled to test these anomalous \"on-land\" AlphaTrack radon targets. Maps displaying these radon flux results are available within a presentation on the Company's new website www.northernuranium.com.\n\nWithin the Maguire Lake focus area there are three distinct regions which contain a total of 39 high priority drill targets.\n\nSoutheast of Maguire Lake\n\nOn the south-east side of the lake approximately fifteen high priority drill targets have been identified. In this area there is a distinct gravity low alon...
