REGINA, SK, March 3 /CNW/ -- TSXV: UVR REGINA, SK, March 3 /CNW/ -
Strategic Resources Inc. ("Strategic" or "the Corporation"), is
pleased to provide the following update on its Gallinas Mountains
REE project in Lincoln County, New Mexico: Strategic Resources is
pleased and encouraged with the outcome of metallurgical testing on
Fluorite/REE bearing rock samples taken from its mineral claims in
the Gallinas Mountains. The results of this bench scale study
completed by the Montana School of Mines indicate that Fluorite and
REE mineralization can be liberated by crushing and grinding to
between 150 and 200 mesh size. This study further indicates that
Fluorite and REE product steams can be separated and recovered
effectively by the use of a Wilfley gravity table. These favorable
metallurgical observations align extremely well with findings from
various laboratory studies undertaken by the US Bureau of Mines
dating back to 1946. Once drilling commences on the Gallinas
Mountains project, Strategic Resources plans to arrange for
additional bench-scale studies using material taken from drill
core. These additional studies will further investigate the
metallurgy of various gravity separation parameters and will also
investigate the metallurgy of flotation techniques using parameters
and reagents noted in various US Bureau of Mines reports. The New
Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology has now completed XRF
assaying on the geo-chem soil samples collected in October 2010.
These results are currently being combined with the geo-chem data
contained in a 1993 US Bureau of Mines Report authored by R.
Schreiner. The combination of these two data sets will assist in
delineating future drill targets. Cal Data Ltd of Kelowna, BC has
now completed an ASTER Image analysis of Strategic's Galinas
Mountains project area. ASTER analysis (Advanced Spaceborne Thermal
Emission and Reflection Radiometer) provides high-resolution images
of the Earth in different bands of the electromagnetic spectrum,
ranging from visible to thermal infrared light. Cal Data Ltd. has
used the ASTER Image data to create detailed maps of surface
emissivity and reflectance which will add to Strategic's insights
into the regional geology of the Gallinas Mountains. Strategic
Resources has now submitted a total of five applications for
exploratory drilling on various parts of its claims in the Gallinas
Mountains. Permitting on the first of these planned drill programs
has now moved into the final stages of approval with the United
States Forest Service and the State of New Mexico. Permitting on
the remainder of the applications is progressing in an orderly
fashion. About Strategic Resources Strategic Resources is a
Canadian based junior exploration company with uranium/vanadium
exploration projects in Catron County, New Mexico, Rare Earth
