Noka Resources Announces Results from Peridot Geophysical Interpretation as well as Future Exploration Plans for Preston Uranium Property in Patterson Lake Region

13.11.2014  |  The Newswire
Vancouver, BC / TNW-ACCESSWIRE / November 13, 2014: Noka Resources Inc. (TSX-V: NX, FSE: 2NK) ("Noka" or the "Company") ") is pleased to provide an update on the Preston Uranium Property (the "Property") being explored by the Western Athabasca Syndicate (the "Syndicate"). The Preston Property is strategically located proximal to Fission Uranium's expanding, high-grade Patterson Lake South ("PLS") discovery as well as NexGen Energy's Arrow discovery.

Peridot Geophysics Interpretation and Results:

The Syndicate recently engaged Peridot Geoscience Ltd. to complete an advanced analysis on the extensive airborne geophysical datasets at the Preston Property. The analysis has successfully confirmed existing high-priority targets at the property as well as identifying several other new target areas. The Syndicate continues to employ a systematic, proven and cost-efficient exploration methodology that has led to numerous uranium discoveries in the region and throughout the Athabasca Basin.


Future Exploration Plans and Previous Work Summary:

The Syndicate is in the process of planning a field program at the Preston Property for early 2015 that would consist of diamond drilling lake-based and land-based high-priority targets, as well as geophysical and geochemical surveys to further refine targets and identify new targets. Drill testing of the various target areas is being prioritized including drilling at previously undrilled targets that will be accessible when freeze-up occurs later this year.

Earlier this year the Syndicate reported highly encouraging results from a first-pass diamond drill program at Preston consisting of nine holes which confirmed the presence of widespread alteration, structural disruption and radioactivity that are typically associated with uranium deposits in the Athabasca Basin. The three initial drill target areas, out of a growing target base currently standing at fifteen, were selected by the Syndicate's Technical Committee for drilling based on encouraging fieldwork results and coincident anomalies. The majority of uranium targets on the Property have not yet received any drill exploration.

The Syndicate has carried out one of the largest regional exploration programs in the relatively underexplored western side of the Athabasca Basin over the last fifteen months. A total of approx. $3.75 million in expenditures on the Preston Uranium Property has been incurred including ground gravity, airborne and ground EM and magnetics, radon, soil, silt, biogeochem, lake sediment, and geological mapping surveys, as well as boulder prospecting and a first pass diamond drill program. Fifteen high-priority drill target areas associated with eight prospective exploration corridors have been successfully delineated through this methodical, multi-phased exploration initiative which has culminated in an extensive, proprietary geological database for the project area.


The Preston Uranium Property:

The 246,643 hectare Preston Uranium Property is the largest individual property proximal to Fission Uranium's Patterson Lake South high-grade uranium discovery and the recent discovery made by NexGen Energy on the Rook-1 Project. The Syndicate is the largest land tenure holder in the southwest Athabasca Basin region including properties strategically situated to the southwest and to the northeast of the PLS and NexGen discoveries. Approx. $3,750,000 dollars in exploration has been carried out to date by the Syndicate on the Preston property and many priority targets remain for further follow up with both fieldwork and drill testing.

Management cautions, mineralization present on proximal properties is not necessarily indicative of mineralization on the Syndicate's Property.


About the Western Athabasca Syndicate:

The Western Athabasca Syndicate is a strategic partnership formed between Skyharbour, Athabasca Nuclear, Lucky Strike and Noka to explore and develop a 287,130 hectare suite of uranium properties that is the largest land position along the highly prospective margin of the Western Athabasca Basin controlled by a single group. Under the terms of the agreement, each of the four companies has an option to earn 25% of the five uranium properties comprising the Western Athabasca Syndicate Partnership by making a series of cash payments, share payments, and incurring their pro-rata amount of the total $6,000,000 in exploration expenditures over the two-year earn-in term of the agreement. The properties were acquired for their proximity to the PLS discovery and interpreted favourable geology for the occurrence of PLS style uranium mineralization. The bulk of the Syndicate land package is bisected by all-weather Highway 955 which runs north through the PLS discovery on to the former Cluff Lake uranium mine.

The Athabasca Basin of Saskatchewan hosts the world's largest and richest high-grade uranium deposits which have grades substantially higher than the world average grade of about 0.1% U3O8. The Patterson Lake area has received escalating exploration attention and claim acquisition activity as a result of the new, near surface discoveries made by Fission which includes the drill interval of 13.66% U3O8 over 38.0 metres in drill hole PLS14-129. Consistent high-grade, near surface U3O8 assays from Fission demonstrate the potential for high-grade uranium mineralization on the geologically prospective yet underexplored margins of the western side of the Athabasca Basin.


Qualified Person:

The technical information in this news release has been prepared in accordance with the Canadian regulatory requirements set out in National Instrument 43-101 and reviewed and approved by Richard Kusmirski, P.Geo., M.Sc., Skyharbour's Head Technical Advisor and a Director, as well as a Qualified Person.


Uranium Market:

The spot uranium price has moved up to $41.75/lb according to UxC which is an increase of almost 50% since the lows of $28/lb this summer. This recent price appreciation has been driven by utilities, traders and financial entities entering the market, suggesting that this rally could have some sustainability. Furthermore, the Kagoshima Governor in Japan, Yuichiro Ito, has approved the restart of two nuclear reactors at Sendai. The announcement marks the final step before the first Japanese nuclear reactors restart next year following regulators on-site checks.


About Noka Resources Inc.

Noka Resources Inc. is a junior exploration company with a focus on uranium in the prolific Athabasca Basin of Northern Saskatchewan. Noka's exploration strategy is focused in relatively underexplored areas of the Athabasca Basin Region, targeting favourable geology and structure amenable to near surface, unconformity-style uranium mineralization.

With a total prospective land position of 493,236 hectares, Noka holds one of the largest geologically prospective land packages in the region through a 40% interest in the Clearwater Property (which includes Carpenter Lake), a 100% interest in the Athabasca North Property, an option to earn 100% interest in the Lodge Pole Point Project, as well as a 25% interest in the Western Athabasca Syndicate group of properties.
