URANIUM DRILLING UPDATE
October 29, 2008, Vancouver, BC - Raytec Metals Corp.
(the "Company") (TSX.V - RAY) and joint venture partner Triex Minerals Corp., announce an update on the recently completed, first phase drill program at the Riverlake and Highrock properties in Northern Saskatchewan.
Location
The Riverlake and Highrock properties include eight mineral claims in two groups, covering 31,762 hectares, located on either side of Highway 914 at the southern margin of the Athabasca basin, south of the Key Lake uranium mine.
Triex Minerals Corp.
can earn up to a 70-per-cent interest in the property from Raytec Metals Corp.
Drilling Completed
The Company"s drilling program followed up on airborne EM and ground HLEM surveys completed in 2007, which identified several conductors on the property.
Eight diamond drill holes were completed for a total of 2,039 metres.
Two conductors were tested on Riverlake, four holes (1,135 metres) on the A1 grid and two holes (454 metres) on the A3 grid.
Two conductors were tested on Highrock with two holes completed for 450 metres on the B1 grid.
All drill holes are inclined 70 degrees.
Basement units are shallow to moderate east-dipping such that unit widths in core approximate true thickness.
Results
Significantly anomalous and continuous radioactivity over widths from 28 to 65 metres were discovered within intensely altered, sheared and fault-brecciated basement rock of graphitic metapelite and pegmatite.
Two drill holes tested separate conductors on the A1 and A3 grids on the Riverlake property.
Depths of the intersections start at 67 metres.
Geological details, including photos of core and maps, of the intersections are available on Triex"s website.
These zones underscore the potential for new discoveries south of the Athabasca basin, in areas not previously drilled during historic exploration.
Follow-up
Follow-up drilling will be planned once all geochemical data from core and soil samples are in hand and fully integrated with Triex"s data information system.
Samples
Triex conducted reconnaissance soil geochemistry and prospecting concurrently with the drill program on both properties.
A total of 1,012 soil samples were collected, 591 on the Riverlake property, including 78 and 67 samples respectively from the A1 and A3 grids, and 521 on the Highrock property.
All soil and rock (drill core) geochemical samples are being processed at the Saskatchewan Research Council Geoanalytical Laboratories in Saskatoon, Sask.
A partial digestion preparation and fluorimetric XRF analysis will be used, with a check by total digestion preparation and ICP analytical finish.
