VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwired - February 27, 2017) - Logan Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: LGR) ("Logan" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that ALX Uranium Corp (TSX VENTURE: AL) ("ALX") has commenced their diamond drilling program at the Gorilla Lake property ("Gorilla Lake", or the "Property") in the western Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan. Gorilla Lake is located within the Carswell Impact Structure approximately 15 km north of the past-producing Cluff Lake uranium mine, which operated from 1980 to 2002.
ALX has an 80% ownership interest with Logan having a 20% interest carried through feasibility. ALX is the operator of the Gorilla Lake property and as such, will fund 100% of the project-related costs. Logan Resources acquired the Gorilla Lake property in 2004 and in 2005 optioned the property to ESO Uranium Corp., a predecessor company to ALX.
The 2017 drilling program is planned to include four holes totaling approximately 1,000 metres. Work will be focused on the northern portion of the Property and will follow up on basement-hosted uranium mineralization that was previously intersected in historical holes CLU-01 (0.46% U3O8 over 1.5 m) and CLU-07 (0.17% U3O8 over 7.0 m), drilled in 2006. The uranium mineralization is associated with numerous conductors, as defined by airborne and ground electromagnetic ("EM") surveys and is coincident with a distinct northeast-trending gravity low highlighted from a ground gravity survey conducted in the winter of 2016.
In addition, drilling will test an airborne electromagnetic anomaly approximately 1,500 metres south of Gorilla Lake coincident within a distinct northeast-southwest striking gravity low.
