(TSXV:SNR) (OTC:SNRAF) (Frankfurt:T1KA) ("Senator" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company's exploration team will be conducting a helicopter supported site visit at both the Carter Lake and Patterson Northeast (PNE) Uranium Projects, in the western Athabasca Basin. The purpose of the inspection is to further evaluate available infrastructure and access and to precisely locate key geological formations and anomalies to guide the summer 2017 exploration activities. In addition, Company's geologists will conduct an aerial inspection of the project areas to better understand their relation to significant discoveries in the area, including Fission's Patterson Lake South Deposit and Negen's Arrow Deposit. The site visit is planned for mid-August.
