Abitex reports 4.93% eU3O8 over 5.2 meters on Lavoie property
VAL D'OR, QC,
The 2009 drilling targeted the western half of the "L" deposit Main Lense. Since 2008, 83 holes totaling 11,280 meters have been completed on the Main Lense which has been defined over a 600 meter strike length on a 25 meter drill pattern. The equivalent U3O8 (eU3O8) results from the 2009 program include numerous high grade intercepts such as:
- 4.930% eU3O8 over 5.2m in hole L-09-65 - 2.801% eU3O8 over 4.4m in hole L-09-55 - 2.289% eU3O8 over 6.7m in hole L-09-64 - 0.677% eU3O8 over 7.7m in hole L-09-66 - 0.393% eU3O8 over 9.0m in hole L-09-63 - 0.346% eU3O8 over 14.0m in hole L-09-48 - 0.232% eU3O8 over 16.8m in hole L-09-53
Yves Rougerie, President & CEO reports: "We are very pleased with the results of this program which confirm the lateral continuity of the mineralized zones and the presence of high grades over the entire strike length of the deposit. In addition, new areas of enrichment were defined during the drill program as on Section 150E with intercepts of 0.526% eU3O8 over 3.8m and 0.230% eU3O8 over 7.0m. Now that the 2009 results are available, we can move ahead quickly to complete the initial resource estimate for this project."
Very good grades were also reported from holes drilled into satellite lenses along strike from the Main Lense, including 1.402% eU3O8 over 2.0m on Section 558W and 0.160% eU3O8 over 6.1m on Section 180W. The Company believes these results are very encouraging and indicative of the additional resource potential of the satellite lenses.
The 2009 program consisted of 4,780 meters in 43 drill holes (including 4 abandoned holes) completed between June and

The "L" deposit lies between 50 and 100 meters depth below surface and is recognized over a strike length exceeding 600 meters along the contact between flat-lying sediments and a sub-vertical gabbro intrusive. Structurally controlled disseminated and fracture-filled uranium mineralization is found mainly along the contact and within the sediments (Main zone) but also in the intrusive (Gabbro).
The Lavoie property is the subject of an option agreement with AREVA Resources
