NORFOLK COUNTY, ON, Sept. 18 /CNW/ - Spruce Ridge Resources Ltd. (SHL:TSX-V) is pleased to report on the exploration activities on the Deer Lake basin property and the Turner's Ridge property in western Newfoundland.
Deer Lake Basin
---------------
The Company drilled 890 metres in 15 holes on the North Brook property. Multiple layers of grey, flat-lying sediment were encountered in each hole but only low levels of uranium were detected. The Deer Lake property comprises 2,468 claims covering 61,700 hectares.
Elsewhere, newly discovered uranium occurrences are being drilled at Incinerator Road and the Dan Zone.
Determination Zone
------------------
Drilling on the Determination Zone on the Turner's Ridge property has been rescheduled for October so that a larger drill rig can be employed to penetrate heavy overburden. The Turner's Ridge property includes 954 claims covering 23,850 hectares.
The company recently completed a radiometric and magnetic airborne survey of the Deer Lake Basin and the Turner's Ridge properties. The survey was flown over 9,167 line kilometres at 100 metre spacings. Interpretation of the airborne results and ground prospecting of the numerous radiometric anomalies will determine subsequent drilling targets.
