VAL d'OR, QC, Apr 26, 2007 - Hinterland Metals Inc. (TSXV:HMI) and “OtishU” joint venture partner
Kakanda Resources Inc. (TSXV:KRC) are pleased to announce that Prospectai
r Inc. has been engaged to complete combined helicopter
-borne electromag
netic, magnetic and spectromet
er survey over the Euro and Tonka properties in the Otish Mountain area of Quebec. The expected start date of the survey is May 20, 2007 contingent upon snow conditions at that time.
The Otish basin is being actively explored for uranium most notably at the Matoush Project where Strateco Resources Inc. has recently announced drill hole intersecti
ons of up to 2.13% U3O8 over 15.2m (Strateco Press Release: February 20, 2007). The Euro property covers the southwest margins of the Paskwati Proterozoi
c sedimentar
y basin which is an outlier located 45km southwest of the main Otish basin. The Tonka property is underlain primarily by sedimentar
y rocks of the Indicator Lake Formation and it straddles the unconformi
ty contact with the underlying granitic complex along the southern margin of the basin. It is also cut by a major northeast-
trending fault. Both properties offer potential for classic unconformi
ty-type uranium mineraliza
tion both below and above the unconformi
ty surface as well as the fault-type found at Matoush.
The companies also wish to announce that the OtishU joint venture has applied for an additional 262 mineral titles (13,886 hectares) by map designatio
n. This block of staking covers the southeaste
rn margin of the Otish basin. The
Ministère des Ressources naturelles has acknowledg
ed receipt of these applicatio
ns and the joint venture is currently waiting for mineral title certificat
es to be issued.
