Val d'Or, Quebec, April 04, 2007 - Hinterland Metals Inc. (TSXV:HMI) is pleased to announce that it has doubled the Hearne Uranium property to 12,850ha by additional staking. The property is located approximately 120km west of Churchill in Northern Manitoba. It covers the southern lobe of the Paleoproterozoic Seal River Basin and is in part underlain by sulphide-bearing quartzite and quartz-pebble conglomerate. A least three bands of pyritic conglomerates enriched in uranium were identified by previous workers in the late 1970’s. Chip sampling of the conglomerate bands yielded up to 0.10lb/ton U3O8 over widths up to 15m. Subsequent shallow drilling intersected an upper band of 0.48lb/ton U3O8 over 3m and a lower band of 0.24lb/ton U3O8 over 5m. The new staking extends the known strike length of the sulphide-bearing quartzite and quartz-pebble conglomerate on the Hearne property to approximately 11km
Hinterland intends to begin its uranium exploration program with an airborne radiometric, magnetic and electromagnetic survey over the Hearne property as soon as conditions permit. The previously reported surface uranium showings will also be re-examined and sampled as soon as possible. Hinterland is seeking equity or joint venture financing to fund this exploration project.
