Pitchstone Exploration Ltd. (Pitchstone) is a public company exploring
for uranium in Canada and
Africa.
Pitchstone is listed on the TSX Venture
Exchange and trades under the symbol PXP. The company was
created to acquire highly prospective properties during a depressed
price cycle and add value through exploration as the market improved.
Pitchstone began acquiring land in early 2003 in the heart of
Saskatchewan’s eastern Athabasca Basin uranium district in proximity
to the major, high-grade uranium producers. Currently the company
owns 37.5 to 100% interest in ten properties (54,000 hectares)
situated in the eastern Athabasca Basin.
Pitchstone also has a 50% interest in several properties in the Hornby
Bay Basin, Nunavut and Northwest Territories. The Hornby Bay
properties include the Mountain Lake deposit, which contains an
Inferred Mineral Resource (NI 43-101 compliant) of 8.2 million pounds
U3O8
contained in 1.6 million tonnes at an average grade of 0.23%
U3O8, above a cutoff
grade of 0.10% U3O8.
The
company has also entered into an agreement with Cameco Corporation and
Motapa Diamonds to jointly explore Motapa's extensive uranium
exploration licenses in the Franceville Basin of Gabon, west Africa.
And in January 2007 Pitchstone obtained an option on three large uranium
exploration properties in Namibia.
All of
the four regions in which Pitchstone is active are currently or have
been significant uranium producers. The company is aggressively
exploring all of its properties with an emphasis on drilling.
Pitchstone’s personnel have extensive expertise in uranium exploration
and production.
