IRNG Pink Sheets VANCOUVER, Feb. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- International Ranger (the "Company") announces that the Drilling Permits have been extended for the Whiskey Gap Uranium project which will allow the Company to return to its planned 40 drill hole program sooner than previously stated. Drill contracts are presently being negotiated. It is anticipated that drilling will commence approximately the third week of February. Anomalous radioactivity, up to a maximum thickness of 5 meters, was encountered in seven drill holes over a wide area within carbonaceous mudstones, in association with a thick sandstone channel sequence. Assay results from the SRC indicate that the radioactive zones are enriched with Uranium. The source of the Radon anomaly was not located, however a substantial enrichment of heavy metals is present, this heavy metal enrichment halo is typical of sandstone uranium deposits. The radioactive zones also contain significant copper, arsenic, molybdenum, vanadium and barium. These pathfinder elements typically occur in association with sandstone uranium deposits in Wyoming and Colorado. The Company is extremely encouraged by these preliminary results, and is confident that further work in the area will define significant sandstone hosted Uranium mineralization. The Phase 2 drill program will include drilling of up to 40 holes to further delineate the sandstone channel system and define the mineralization. The Whiskey Gap property is underlain by a series of fluvial sandstones of Cretaceous age, thought to be analogous to sandstones in parts of Wyoming that host significant Roll front Uranium deposits. The project is under the direction of Glenn S. Hartley P. Geol. in accordance with the regulations of National Instrument 43-101, and the contents of this news release have been reviewed by Glenn S. Hartley.
