Drilling Commences
at Waterfound
Pitchstone Exploration
Ltd. (TSX-V: PXP; “Pitchstone”) is pleased to announce that drilling
on the Waterfound property in the eastern Athabasca Basin,
Saskatchewan has resumed. Waterfound is a 50:50 joint venture with
Uranium One Inc. (TSX: UUU).
Five holes totaling
2,750 m are planned at Waterfound to follow up on uranium
mineralization encountered in earlier drilling. Of the nine holes
previously completed on behalf of the joint venture, seven intersected
anomalous radioactivity in proximity to the unconformity (see July 25,
2006 news release); these holes occur over a strike length of 1,600 m.
The current drilling program will utilize the results of a DC-Resistivity
survey completed in late 2006 to help focus drilling within this
widespread zone of anomalous radioactivity.
Further, Pitchstone
announces that it has granted 860,000 options to directors and
employees. The options are priced at $2.60 and will expire on October
5, 2012.
Steve Blower, P.Geo.,
Vice President of Exploration for Pitchstone, is the Qualified Person
for the purposes of NI 43-101 with respect to the technical
information in this news release.
Pitchstone is actively
exploring for uranium in four proven districts. The property portfolio

venture projects with Triex in the Hornby Bay Basin, Nunavut and NWT,
