Bancroft Uranium Begins Implementation of N.I. 43-101 Engineering Report Recommendations at Monmouth Project — New President and CEO Appointed
SCOTTSDALE, AZ–(EMWNews – July 31, 2008) – Bancroft Uranium Inc. (
(“Bancroft” or the “Company”) today announces that the Company has begun
planning to fully implement the recommendations of the recently completed
43-101 compliant engineering report.
Development planning for the Phase 2 2008 exploration and drilling programs
are now underway. This will focus on expanding the known mineralization in
the skarn rocks as well as an evaluation of the radioactive pegmatite
occurrences throughout the property. As approximately 1/5th of the known
strike length of the uranium bearing rocks have been systematically
explored, excellent potential exists for extension and expansion of the
resource. Bancroft engineers are preparing the scope of work proposal and
detailed budget for this work.
The Phase 2 surface drilling program is planned for immediate follow-up of
50 plus drill holes totaling approximately 10,000 to 15,000 feet. The
objective of this work is to verify mineralogical continuity and tenor as
well as expansion of the deposit. Fill-in holes will be added within the
limits of the 2008 program and additional holes added both along strike and
in both dip directions. This work will also include prospecting, mapping
and sampling in the remainder of the claim block. Additionally, Bancroft is
preparing a detailed budget to take a 50 to 100 ton bulk sample for further
metallurgical testing, verification of the tenor and specific gravity of
the mineralization.
In related news, Bancroft is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr.
Robert McIntosh as the President and CEO of the Company. Mr. McIntosh has
been acting as the Chief Geological Consultant on the Monmouth Project,
working with and advising field operations. Mr. McIntosh brings to Bancroft
25 years of experience in the Mining Industry where he has designed,
implemented and executed exploration, drilling and production mining
operations in various commodities such as gold, base metals and uranium. He
has served as a Director and Officer of many publicly listed companies in
the United States and Canada.
Mr. McIntosh states, “I am pleased to assume the expanded role as President
of Bancroft Uranium and look forward to an exciting future for both the
Company and the Uranium sector. As nuclear power expands to offset sky-high
oil prices, Bancroft will be positioned to take advantage of this
opportunity at Monmouth and other projects. We would like to grow Bancroft
into a producer of U3O8 and feel that we have taken a great step with the
new compliant resource at Monmouth.”
Mr. P. L. Hammond, C.A., remains as Director of Bancroft and will assume
the role of Chief Operating Officer as well as assist in financial matters
pertaining to the Company.
