SURFACE EXPLORATION BEGINS AT WOLLASTON LAKE
October 29, 2008
Tribune Minerals Corp. (TSX-V: TCB) (Frankfurt: S8QA) (“Tribune” or “the Company”) is pleased to report that the Company’s fall exploration program on its 100% owned Wollaston Lake claims in northern Saskatchewan is underway. The Wollaston Lake property is located approximately 20 kilometres northeast of Cameco’s Rabbit Lake operations and adjoins Hathor Exploration’s Hatchet Lake project to the east. The property is on trend with numerous deposits and mines on the eastern boundary of the Athabasca basin.
During May and June, 2008, field crews completed prospecting, soil sampling and outcrop sampling over the claims. Work indicated several areas of interest, with the Dan showing being the most significant. The Dan showing consists of a 20 to 25 metre wide zone of silicification with related radioactivity in pegmatites and askosic sediments exposed over 85 metres of strike length. The zone is obscured by swamp to the north and overburden to the south. A radioactive mylonite zone borders the Dan showing to the west. Several samples from the Dan showing assayed greater that 0.1% U3O8 with one sample assaying 0.17% U3O8.
The current program includes channel sampling radioactive outcrops giving up to 10,000 counts per second. These outcrops were not sampled during earlier work programs due to their smooth and hard nature. Work will also include channel sampling over all other known radioactive zones within the silicified pegmatites.
The exploration program is being supervised by Edward Kruchkowski, P.Geo, director of Tribune, and a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101. The contents of this news release have also been reviewed by Edward Kruchkowski.
