Pitchstone Continues Namibia & Athabasca

Uranium Exploration  

·         Exploration has resumed on Dome North target, Namibia

·         6,000 meters of drilling planned for Athabasca properties

Pitchstone Exploration Ltd. (TSX-V: PXP; “Pitchstone”) announces the continuation of exploration on the Dome property in Namibia.  The project is a uranium exploration joint venture between Pitchstone (60%) and private company Manica Minerals Ltd. (40%) through Manica’s wholly-owned subsidiary Cheetah Minerals Exploration Ltd.  The property location relative to the Rössing and Langer Heinrich uranium mines, and other uranium occurrences in the western Namibian uranium district, is illustrated on the company website (www.pitchstone.net).     

Detailed electromagnetic surveying and radiometric prospecting are underway under the direction of Remote Exploration Services, a geological consulting group based in South Africa.  This exploration is designed to follow up on uranium mineralization discovered by prospectors and intersected in recently completed drill holes in the Dome North area (see October 28, 2009 News Release).  Mineralization is calcrete-hosted similar to that at the Langer Heinrich uranium mine, 70 kilometers to the northeast.  The current program is designed to define paleochannels and will be followed with additional drilling.

Athabasca Drilling

Pitchstone has arranged with Bryson Drilling to complete up to an additional 6,000 meters of core drilling on its Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan properties.  Drilling will focus on Pitchstone’s highly prospective, 100% owned Gumboot property where significant uranium mineralization has been intersected (see September 9, 2009 News Release).

Options

Pitchstone also announces that it has granted 900,000 stock options to directors, officers and employees.  The options have an exercise price of $0.40 and will expire on November 25, 2014.
