VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept.13, 2017(GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Senator Minerals Inc. (TSX.V:SNR) (OTC:SNRAF) (Frankfurt:T1KA) ("Senator" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has completed the acquisition of the Carter Lake Uranium Project, through the purchase of Gunner Minerals Corp. ("Gunner Minerals"), the latter of which holds the right to acquire a one-hundred percent (100%) interest in the Carter Lake Uranium Project. The acquisition was completed after an extensive due diligence program on the project, consisting of a series of site visits, initiating a radon gas survey and the commissioning of a technical report.

The Carter Lake Uranium Project lies near the eastern edge of the Clearwater Domain, approximately 21 kilometres northeast of the Patterson Lake property, held by Fission Uranium Corp. The Patterson Lake property has a reported resource estimate of 2,011,000 tonnes of 1.83% U3O8 containing 81,111,000 pounds of U3O8 including the R780E High Grade Zone estimated to contain 45,079,000 pounds U3O8 at 18.22% U3O8 and an inferred resource estimate of 785,000 tonnes at 1.57% U3O8 containing 27,157,000 pounds of U3O8 including the R780E High Grade Zone estimated to contain 13,898,000 pounds U3O8 at 25.06% U3O8. (Fission Uranium Corp. PEA September 14, 2015). Nexgen Energy Ltd. has reported (March 31, 2017) that the Arrow Deposit's mineral resource comprises an indicated mineral resource of 179,500,000 pounds of U3O8 within 1,180,000 tonnes grading 6.88% U3O8, and an inferred mineral resource of 122,100,000 pounds of U3O8 contained within 4,250,000 tonnes grading 1.30% U3O8.

The principal exploration target at Carter Lake is approximately 4.7 kilometres of subsurface conductive anomalies, identified in a 2006 MegaTEM survey and a 2008 VTEM survey, both completed by ESO Uranium Corp.The anomalies are interpreted as a conductive horizon, at or above the unconformity and which may be indicative of hydrothermal enrichment.
