TSXV: SFR VANCOUVER, June 20 /CNW/ - Starfire Minerals Inc. announces the first phase of the Capri uranium project in southwestern Quebec has been completed. The four-week field program consisted of gridding, line cutting, surface geology and prospecting, geophysical surveys, manual stripping and trenching. Thirty two line kilometers of line cutting and ground radiometric survey were completed on the central portion of the property. In addition to the historic resources in the main zone drilled by the Capri Mining Company, the first phase program was successful in identifying two additional parallel bands and identified two new mineralized zones. Stripping and trenching has resulted in expanding the two new zones along strike. The company is expecting results from several bulk samples submitted for chemical assay. David Mark, P.Geo., Senior Geophysicist reports "The survey has revealed a number of anomalies throughout the survey area, some highly anomalous. Most of these anomalies occur in a band that strikes in a north-northwest direction and has a strike length of 1,800 meters (5900 feet) long with it being open to both the north-northwest and the south-southeast. Within this anomalous band occurs the main zone, - - - - - -" "The writer checked this anomaly with a spectrometer and determined that the main source of radioactivity was uranium. The remaining anomalies appear to occur in two parallel bands, one to the east-northeast occurring within the northeast corner of the survey area and thus with limited known strike length, and the other to the west-southwest with a similar strike length as the main anomalous band. Within this second band, the writer checked one of the stronger readings with a spectrometer and also determined that the main causative source was uranium." Diamond drilling has been recommended for both the old zones and the new zones as part of a second phase program that is currently underway. Both the geology and the radiometric results over the new target areas suggest the presence of near-surface uranium mineralization. The property is fully permitted for an initial diamond drilling campaign. The first hole is to be scheduled within the next two weeks. Additional surrounding uranium mineralization not covered by the newly established grid will also be investigated in the near future with the objective of advancing mineralization on the property to a measured-indicated category.
