NEWS RELEASE

 

Bayswater Encounters Anomalous Metal Values in Drill Hole at Brudell Lake, Athabasca Basin

 

Vancouver, B.C.,  June 5, 2009 � Bayswater Uranium Corporation (TSX-V: BAY) (OTC: BYSWF) is pleased to provide an update of drilling recently completed at the Company�s Brudell Lake project in the Athabasca Basin.

 

Final analytical results have been received from core samples from the drill program carried out in late 2008 on the Brudell Lake project.  As previously reported in a news release dated October 16, 2008, this drill program was designed to test strong MT (magnetotelluric) anomalies.  One vertical hole was completed to a depth of 1,006 metres (m), and the unconformity between Athabasca sandstone and basement rocks was intersected at a depth of 965 m.  The cause of the MT anomaly was not explained by this hole and no anomalous uranium values were intersected.  However, systematic sampling of the Athabasca sandstone resulted in the definition of what are interpreted to be significant geochemical anomalies.  In the 100 m of sandstone above the unconformity, several zones of nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co), lead (Pb) and boron (B) enrichment were defined.  These elements are commonly associated with the margins of alteration zones surrounding unconformity related uranium deposits.    A sample from this zone yielded 19.7 ppm Ni; background Ni contents are generally less than 2.8 ppm. 

 

Other anomalous intervals in the sandstone from the lithogeochemistry are summarized below:

 

866  - 888 m: Co + Ni

910 -  944 m: Co + Ni + Pb

950 � 965 m (unconformity): B (up to 21 ppm) + V (Vanadium) + Se (Selenium)

965 m: 155 ppb Au (gold) over 0.5 m immediately above unconformity

 

�Finding geochemical anomalies with this intensity in the sandstone is encouraging,� states Victor Tanaka, Chief Operating Officer of Bayswater.  �We also have other significant MT anomalies in the property that remain untested, and we will be searching for potential partners to help us evaluate this under-explored portion of the prolific Athabasca Basin.�

 

This news release has been reviewed and approved by Victor Tanaka, P.Geo., Chief Operating Officer and Director, who is a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.
