Mesa Uranium Corp. is pleased to report that the company has acquired an additional uranium property. The property, known as the Moonshine Springs project, is owned 100% by Mesa, and is located in Mohave County, Arizona, consisting of a 590-acre lease from the State of Arizona.

Exxon Coal and Minerals (”Exxon”) was a previous owner of the property and conducted uranium exploration drilling in 1979. Mesa possesses data on four widely spaced drill holes completed by Exxon, and the best intercept was six feet (1.8 meters) grading 0.4% U3O8 (8 pounds per ton) at a depth of 600 feet (183 meters). This high grade uranium mineralization is within a stream channel in the Chinle sandstone. The 6 million pound Moonshine Springs uranium deposit is located within 2 miles of the project and is hosted in the Chinle formation. The drill permitting process has been initiated by Mesa.

Mesa Uranium Corp. is a uranium exploration company focused on proven uranium districts in the western United States. Mesa’s lead project is the 100%-owned Lisbon Valley project in Utah, where drilling continues to identify new uranium mineralization, as previously announced. The Lisbon Valley District produced over 85 million pounds of U3O8, at some of the highest uranium grades in the United States, averaging 0.4% U3O8. The Lisbon Valley Mining District is located in the Colorado Plateau region, 30 miles south of Moab, in San Juan County, Utah.
