Bayswater's Revised News Release on Tejana Mesa Property, New Mexico
VANCOUVER - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Bayswater Uranium Corporation (TSX-V: BAY),
(OTC: BYSWF)
is pleased to report the following update on its Tejana Mesa property
and immediate region, New Mexico, which collectively has potential to
host 15 to 45 million pounds U3O8 according to a report by the New
Mexico Bureau of Mines and Mineral Resources (Note: This stated
potential quantity is conceptual in nature as there has been
insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and it is
uncertain if further exploration will result in discovery of a mineral
resource. No grades are referenced in the report; however, typical
grades for roll front type uranium deposits in the western United States
range from 0.05% to 0.30% U3O8). Company geologists believe the more
highly prospective areas for uranium mineralization occur on Bayswater
land holdings.
The Tejana Mesa property is located in Catron County, New Mexico, USA in
an historic uranium producing region. Bayswater holds an option to
acquire a 100% interest in 127 claims and owns a 100% interest in an
additional 1,570 staked claims comprising 33,940 acres. The project
covers favourable sandstone units along a 20 mile long portion of the
margin of the Colorado Plateau-known for its uranium deposits, many of
which were previously in production. Extensive drilling was completed in
the region during the late 1960's to early 1980's by major companies
including Ranchers Exploration, Occidental Minerals, Wold Nuclear,
Pioneer Nuclear, Energy Reserves and Federal American Partners, as well
as Gulf Minerals who drilled over 900 holes. The focus of this drilling
was for shallow mineralization, along the leading edge of on-lapping
Cretaceous sediments. Drilling identified a small historical resource,
not compliant with NI 43-101 standards and not to be relied upon, at the
Red Basin Mine area, not within but adjacent to Bayswater's claims, that
is reported to comprise 1.6 m lbs uranium grading 0.31% U3O8; and,
identified a number of uranium mineralized areas in the aggregate along
a 20 mile belt. Some of the latter mineralized areas are within
Bayswater's land holdings.
The larger scale potential of the region is believed to be primarily
down dip of the sequence which is mainly covered by land held by
Bayswater. The down dip potential, as reported by others in available
technical reports, is considered to be at the water table interface for
transported roll fronts at depths from about 200 ft to 1,000 ft-a target
that has never been drill tested. These reports suggest potential for 15
to 45 million lbs of uranium in transported roll fronts (Note: This
stated potential quantity is conceptual in nature as there has been
insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and it is
uncertain if further exploration will result in discovery of a mineral
resource).
An independent compilation by World Industrial Minerals of limited
available data has led to identifying several down dip targets that are
recommended for drill testing. These targets are along the down dip
trends of channels and known near surface mineralization where evidence
suggests considerable leaching of roll front mineralization-a condition
favourable for potentially depositing transported roll front
mineralization down dip.
According to a 1981 report by the New Mexico Bureau of Mines and Mineral
Resources, the Tejana Mesa area has potential for 15 to 45 million
pounds U3O8 in an area of 80 sq. miles, of which about 70%, including
the more highly prospective portion, is within Bayswater claims (Note:
This stated potential quantity is conceptual in nature as there has been
insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and it is
uncertain if further exploration will result in discovery of a mineral
resource).
"Bayswater is seeking a partner in order to evaluate the Tejana Mesa
property. This would enable us to continue to explore and advance our
core, advanced-stage projects in the US while at the same time advancing
one of our most interesting early-stage projects," stated Bayswater
president, George Leary. "In addition, the Company is seeking partners
to advance early-stage drill targets on its Brudell Lake and Collins Bay
Extension projects in the Athabasca Basin; North Thelon project in
Nunavut; and on its Labrador Central Mineral Belt holdings. To further
the main focus of the Company on acquiring advance-stage uranium
projects in the US, we're also evaluating several exciting acquisition
opportunities that would add to our asset base and fuel our growth."
