Uranium Star Announces Commencement of Drilling at Sagar Property in Northern Quebec
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(CCNMatthews - March 5, 2007) - Uranium Star Corp (OTCBB:URST)(FRANKFURT:YE5) is pleased to announce that two reverse circulation drills are now in place on its Sagar uranium-gold project, located in Northern Quebec. It is expected that these machines will be fully operational next week.
Ground geophysical work is well advanced and the Company's management team is now on site. The airlift of materials, fuel and personnel has gone exceedingly well over the past few weeks and the camp construction aspect of the program is now complete.
The objective of the program is to define the source area of the high grade Mistamisk uranium-gold boulders that have been the focus of numerous exploration programs in the past.
The Sagar Property is the Company's primary exploration focus as it possesses exceptional grades for both uranium and gold. The spectacular mineralization found in the Mistamisk Boulder Field has fueled an ongoing drive to discover its source since the early 1980's. The Mistamisk Boulder Field is approximately 500 X 250 meters in size and contains many radioactive boulders. In a Virginia Mines report, 70 boulders assayed an average of 64.9g/t Au and 1.3% U (with values up to 640 g/t Au and 4.11% U). Uranium Star is the direct beneficiary of the extensive exploration efforts incurred by previous operators including Virginia. These programs have shown that the Sagar Property is characterized by an impressive amount of uranium, gold, copper and lead/zinc mineralization of different styles and potential deposit models.
Uranium Star will be present at the upcoming Prospectors and Developers Association Convention being held in Toronto from March 4-7, 2007. Anyone interested in discussing Uranium Star's activities is cordially invited to drop by the Company's Investors Exchange booth
