WRI Waseco Resources Inc

Waseco Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: WRI)(FRANKFURT: WSE) is pleased to announce that an initial diamond drilling program has started on its Du Portage Uranium Project in the Quebec Labrador Trough, Canada. The drilling is part of the $1.1 Million 2009 exploration program being funded by the AREVA group.

The targets have been selected based upon favourable airborne geophysical data, including a detailed electromagnetic (VTEM) survey completed earlier in the year, and grab samples assayed following last year's field work, which included 5 samples that assayed at the maximum for uranium, at better that 1000ppm (greater than 0.1%- the maximum reading from Neutron Activation/Mass Spectrometry (INAA/MS). multi-element analysis).

The initial focus of the program will be on a 3,000m by 1,500m area where the presence, location, direction and dip of the most interesting conductor structures have been interpreted to be by the AREVA geologists and geophysicists.

The initial 1,400m program is planned to consist of 4 to 8 holes to depths of 150m to 350m. The first 133 meters of good quality core have been recovered from the first hole. The program is expected to take approximately 1 month to complete.
