VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 27, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Senator Minerals Inc. (TSX-V:SNR) (OTC:SNRAF) (Frankfurt:T1KA) (“Senator” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the Company has completed the deployment of Alpha Track radon gas sensors in an array over the Carter Lake Conductive Zone, which was previously identified through a VTEM (Mag/EM) survey, performed by ESO Uranium Corp. The Company is confident that this milestone will be a significant step forward and it is excited to receive the results from this work program.

In all, the target area is being inspected with 158 radon gas cups that will be retrieved and subsequently sent to the lab for assay. Anomalous radon gas, which is a product of uranium decay, gives a direct correlation to the presence of subsurface uranium. Cameco, AREVA and Purepoint are currently investigating subsurface conductive anomalies in the Hook Lake Project, which adjoins Senator’s Carter Lake project to the south. The principal targets at Hook Lake are in essence highly similar to those being investigated at the Company’s Carter Lake Project: northeast trending sub-surface conductive anomalies residing within structural faults. Drilling at Hook Lake has already tested positive for uranium mineralization.
The Carter Lake Uranium Project lies within the Carter Lake Corridor, a structural break in the Athabasca Basin that is parallel to the Patterson Lake Corridor, the structural control of mineralization at both the PLS and Arrow deposits. The Carter Lake Uranium Project also borders Purepoint/Cameco/AREVA’s Hook Lake Project to the south. The principal exploration target at Carter Lake is approximately 4.7 kilometres of subsurface conductive anomalies, identified in a 2006 MegaTEM survey and a 2008 VTEM survey, both completed by ESO Uranium Corp. The anomalies are interpreted as a conductive horizon, at or above the unconformity and which may be indicative of hydrothermal enrichment.
