| Project Highlights 
Location and History Armstrong is located approximately 3 km southwest of the C Zone and is intermittently exposed along a 300 metre strike length, which anchors the 4.5km long mineralized corridor that includes C Zone and Area 1. It was first identified as a possible exploration target following an airborne survey in 2005. Geology Uranium mineralization at Armstrong is located within sheared, chloritized mafic volcanic rocks of the Joe Pond Formation and is hosted by two undulating, north trending, shear zones. Pillow textures are preserved in outcrop and rocks are sericite, chlorite, and Fe-carbonate altered. Radiometric surveys indicate that Armstrong, with C Zone and Area 1, comprises a 4.5km long uranium bearing trend. Previous Exploration Work Armstrong was initially identified as an exploration target following an airborne radiometric survey conducted over the entire property in 2005. In the summer of 2006 ground field work and sampling programs were conducted. Seventeen grab samples collected over a 200 metre strike length returned on average a grade of 0.303% U3O8 and up to a maximum of 0.494% U3O8. Chip sampling (20 to 30 cm chips) in the central portion of Armstrong returned an average of 0.165% U3O8 (to a maximum of 0.343% U3O8). As well, two short holes drilled in 2007 intersected shear zone hosted mineralization. Two additional targets, one to the northeast and another to the southwest of the original Armstrong discovery, were identified during follow-up ground work in 2007. Eight separate one-metre channel samples from the new showing to the southwest returned an average grade of 0.14% U3O8, while scintillometer readings over the new showing to the northeast are off-scale over an exposed 3-4 metre wide by 10 metre long area. The completion of the 2008 winter drill program allowed Crosshair to anchor the southern end of the 4.5 km long uranium mineralized corridor, which includes the C Zone to the north, Area 1 in the centre and now Armstrong to the south. All three areas remain open. Armstong's strike length was extended to 300 m. Click here to see 2008 drill results from Armstrong
