Entourage Mining Commences Saskatchewan Uranium Drill Program
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Mar 21, 2006 (PRIMEZONE via COMTEX) -- Entourage Mining Ltd. (the "Company" or "Entourage") (OTCBB:ETGMF) is pleased to announce that the Company, in conjunction with United Carina Resources Corp as operator, has commenced a 10-drill hole program on its 50% joint venture "Hatchet Lake" uranium prospect, situated on the eastern edge of the Athabasca Basin in north central Saskatchewan. The Company anticipates that the holes will be drilled to a minimum depth of 100 meters using NQ size core.
The Hatchet Lake uranium prospect consists of 16,990 hectares (41,864 acres) of contiguous claims that have been subject to previous exploration for uranium. The properties are located approximately 18 miles north and northeast of Rabbit Lake, McLean Lake, Collins Bay and Eagle Point uranium deposits. Previous work on the claims have yielded surface showings of 0.3 percent to 1.4 percent U3O8.
In the summer of 2005, encouraging results were obtained south of Hatchet Lake in an area west of Turkey Lake. Sandstone boulders were found exhibiting alteration features and geochemistry common to all the unconformity-related deposits in the eastern Athabasca basin. Line cutting and ground geo-physics were completed on the claim blocks in January of 2006.
Immediately up-ice from the site and within the overall geo-chemical anomaly are two untested geophysical conductors. These conductors occur 10 kilometers along strike of Areva's Moonlight zone, which has intersections up to 1.76 percent U3O8 over 1.5 meters. These two conductors are targets to be tested in Phase One of the drill program. Sandstone thickness in the area of the conductors is estimated to be 50 meters.
The qualified person, as that term is defined in National Instrument 43-101, on this project is Mr. Daniel Studer, P. Geo., of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
Entourage has the right to earn 50% of the Hatchet Lake claims from United Carina Resources Corp. (TSX-V:UCA)
