Delta Uranium commences phase 2 drilling

Delta Uranium commences phase 2 drilling

Delta Uranium Inc. announces that analytical results have been received for the last three of the 20 diamond drill holes on the Richard Lake Uranium Deposit (Richard Lake).

The drilling has established the existence of multiple uranium-bearing pegmatite dykes at Richard Lake extending over a strike length of 220 metres, and to a depth of 215 metres and remains open in all directions.

Hole RL07-017 returned 0.042% U3O8 (0.83 pounds per ton) over 0.55 metres and 0.017% U3O8 (0.35 pounds per ton) over 0.50 metres in two separate mineralized zones. Drill hole RL07-017 was drilled at -65º from the same collar as RL07-018 (-55º) on the Richard Lake Uranium Deposit.

These two holes were the most easterly of the 20 drill holes at Richard Lake. Analytical results were also received for holes RL07-008 and -009 both returned low uranium values with Hole RL07-009 being abandoned at a 32 metre depth before reaching its target.

The drilling program, comprising 20 holes totalling 2,151m, was designed to confirm historic drill results as well as testing for possible strike extensions of the mineralized horizon to the northeast and southwest.

The program was successful in both respects, identifying the uranium mineralized pegmatite within previously reported zones, as well as extending mineralization along strike to the northeast and southwest. Given this success drill hole RL08-021, designed to extended the zone at depth, is now underway.
