UEX Corporation announced that the first drill hole of the 2017 exploration program at the Christie Lake Project has encountered a new high-grade zone of unconformity-style uranium mineralization along the Yalowega Mineralized Trend, 500 m northeast and along strike of the known deposits. Hole CB-109 intersected a 7.8 m long (from 475.65 – 483.45 m) mineralized segment with three sections of off-scale massive uranium mineralization exceeding the maximum possible measurement from a hand-held SPP2-NF Series 20 scintillometer. UEX surveyed hole CB-109 using industry standard high-flux downhole probing system that determines Radiometric Equivalent Grades of mineralized zones. The presence of extensive solid uranium mineralization prevented REGs from being precisely calculated, as these probes cannot be calibrated to accurately determine uranium concentrations exceeding 20% eU3O8. Actual grades remain subject to confirmation by assay. Samples have been collected for assay analysis to confirm these scintillometer results. The samples will be analyzed at the Geoanalytical Laboratory at the Saskatchewan Research Council in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
