Mesa Exploration Commences Drilling Program at Moonshine Springs Uranium Project
(firmenpresse) - VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/22/12 -- Mesa Exploration Corp. (TSX VENTURE: MSA)(PINKSHEETS: MSAJF) ("Mesa") is pleased to announce that a rotary drilling program has commenced at the 100% owned Moonshine Springs uranium project in northwestern Arizona. Mesa intercepted 7.5 feet of 0.21% U3O8 in drill hole M1 and 4 feet of 0.47% U3O8 in drill hole M2 at 630 feet, as previously announced. The current drilling program will test for extensions of this uranium mineralization and geochemical targets identified in previous sampling programs. Results from the drilling program are expected in three weeks.
Uranium exploration at Moonshine Springs in the 1980's by Pathfinder Mines and Exxon Minerals led to the discovery of a 4 million pound U3O8 deposit. The deposit is located within 2 miles of Mesa's project and is owned by Dennison Mines.
