Declan Identifies Frac Sand Potential at Firebag River
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Dec 18, 2013) -
Declan Resources Inc. ("Declan" or the "Company") (TSX-VENTURE:LAN)
is pleased to provide the following update related to its Firebag
River Property, located in northeast Alberta.
An initial review of the Firebag River Property in November, by
Dahrouge Geological Consulting Ltd. of Edmonton, Alberta has shown
encouraging values for high-quality frac sand from samples
collected in Cretaceous sandstones of the McMurray Formation.
Fieldwork outlined an approximate north-south trending surface
exposure of semi-consolidated McMurray sands exceeding a length of
5 kilometers. From this exposure several samples were collected at
depths of less than 2m and were submitted for analysis to Loring
Laboratories Ltd. of Calgary, Alberta. Results showed high silica
content, quality sphericity and roundness values, and a high
percentage of sand falling within the preferred 20/40 and 40/70
mesh sizes.
Declan is encouraged by the findings and will pursue this
opportunity along with its principal objective of uranium
exploration at Firebag River.
Situated along the Saskatchewan/Alberta border, approximately
100 kilometers northeast of Fort McMurray, the Firebag River
Property is ideally situated for strategic partnerships. An
important advantage of this location is the significantly reduced
transportation cost. With the current growth in shale gas
exploration, frac sand has become a valuable commodity
Declan's President, Wayne Tisdale, states, "We are extremely
excited about this potential frac sand opportunity. We will be
following up shortly with a more in depth sampling program
targeting this formation within the Firebag Property."
The geological information reported has been reviewed and
approved by Garry Clark, P.Geo., Director, who is a qualified
person under the definitions established by National Instrument
43-101.
