Ditem Explorations Inc.: Drilling Program Underway on Otish Uranium
March 09 2010 - 8:00AM
Marketwired
Ditem Explorations (TSX VENTURE: DIT) is pleased to report that the
2010 exploration program on the Company's Otish Mountains uranium
property in Quebec is underway. A fully operational camp has been
established to accommodate geophysical and drilling crews. Drilling
on the first hole began yesterday.
The program consists of ground geophysical surveys and diamond
drilling to test airborne uranium anomalies, three of which are
associated with conductors and a fourth is in close proximity to a
uranium occurrence. Ground geophysical surveys have defined four
drill targets and the drill program may be extended based on
results. However, this will be subject to weather conditions and
general winter road access conditions.
The current drill targets lie within the Otish sedimentary basin
in which uranium is known to occur in faults and at or near the
unconformity of the Otish sediments with the underlying Archean
rocks. The Otish sedimentary basin is similar in age and geology to
the Athabasca sedimentary basin in Saskatchewan which hosts the
major Canadian uranium deposits.
Ditem Explorations is a uranium exploration and development
company with properties in the Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan
(Beartooth Island and Cree Lake) and the Otish Basin (Otish
Uranium) in Quebec. Existing properties and general information may
be viewed on the Company's website at www.ditem.com.
Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services
Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX
Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or
accuracy of this release.
